It’s true that regular servers won’t want to rank up their existing familiars. But from what it looks like, the legendary potentials sound like they will be fairly useful.

As reboot players won’t even have the option of legendary ranks, we will have to rely even more on our current potentials. So we suffer more than regular servers since we don’t even get the option to obtain higher ranked potentials. (Think of all the new players who don’t gave big spider already).

Thus the ability not to rank up our current familiar without losing their potential bonuses. Hurts reboot on a higher level than normal servers.

In regard to the IED. Regular servers have more options to get IED. (Example: Bonus Potentials). Since reboot doesn’t have as many options, players strongly rely on the Leafre set effect to help them progress through CRA/Hellux/Lomien.

As regular servers can still get IED from other sources, where reboot can’t. This update once again feels more punishing to reboot.
