Will we ever get miracle cubes? Maybe up to unique tier I'm sure this implementation would make the game much more rewarding since end game rn simply consists of chaosing and whitescrolling equips and they are way too costly for new or normal players. I'm sure cubes would make most players enjoy the game more.
Top tier items are already well out of reach for most players, this would just increase the ceiling- I don't see anything going down in price, as you can just cube on top of good items. Also- while it would be fun to cube low level stuff for low level players, I feel like a lot of new players already feel... overwhelmed by the sheer wall of progress needed to get started lol.
If you want a top tier equips from beginning, you have chose wrong server. Many people here have grinded for top tier gears for years. You trying to have same level equips in short period of time is nonsense.
Of course the end game is too costly for new players...That's the point of end game. The end game equips are goals you should strive towards, which will make your end game experience more interesting.
adding stuff to add onto the power creep might not be a good idea for a nostalgia server like royals if too much stuff gets added to increase the end game damage, etc. it might just very well be a retelling of big bang though that by itself is a nostalgic experience of the official servers dying
I crearly remember it was in this exact moment when Nexon introduced miracle cubes that the game began it's downfall.
Wow, no, a million times no! I hate cubes. That's when I quit GMS. Glad to see admins also say no. Phew!
Miracle cubes and Potential is quite possibly one of the most disgusting microtransaction bullshittery the gaming community ever dug up out of whatever sociopaths mind that thought the idea up. That system, even if brought to an enviroment such as this, where real world money couldnt be spent on cubes, i still couldnt help but feel like it wouldnt be fun. Burning through thousands possibly hundreds of thousands of nx, months of voting only to have it all spent on a single piece of gear, and still be stuck with shit potentials. Its not a rewarding system at all except to reward luck of the extremist levels. Your feeling of fun levels would be akin to if chaos scrolls were -10000 +5 instead of normal. Theres only the smallest tiniest chance for a positive outcome but an insanely high probability of a negative one. With all that said i havent even gone into how absurd the power creep of potentials was. I recall my Bishop before the massive rework of the original classes being able to solo horntail because i got a few good potentials of boss damage bonuses. Basically what im saying is i dont like cubes and potential.
Wasn't because of the cubes though, most old time players left because it didn't feel the same anymore, nexon introduced new jobs that felt unrelated to the game and not fun to progress with, all those extra special effects that made the game feel too much, you stopped getting excited over new damage, progressing through the game became too easy, anyway, lots of reasons, definitely not cubes. I think having 1 extra row of % for stat/bossdmg/crit/and all the others nexon has, would improve the game by a lot and give it its uniqueness over other servers, it would make every character have the opportunity to be special in its on way with the stats he picks or luckily gets and maybe change the system a bit, now it is more money = good equips and with cubing it can be so that having more money doesn't necessarily mean that you will get all the perfection that you crave, my opinion is that perfecting stuff is a luxury and shouldn't be a goal, cubing will give some people that invest time in it to have a chance to raise their dmg and then perfecting weapons will become more of a nice bonus. Plus if you pay attention you can see that most new players just quit, maybe a nice new add like cubing will get them excited about the progress because they will be able to get better much earlier on. Anyway that's my opinion on it, probably there won't be any cubing anyway..
As far as I know we don't plan on adding any power creeping to the game. That's what ruined MapleStory for a lot of us in the first place lol
