[dev1381] Sanctions disappearing upon death

[Halvaard_Vidan]

I can see seals being a nice compromise with these.
Those with anima can get a free refresh at HQ, while keeping a backup weapon for fights like Ifrit.
Those with seals can use a magical decoder ring or something.

Also some of these weapons are stronger than they appear.
Storm/Serpent/Flame Sergent's Bow? .97 less DPS than a Garuda Bow.
All 3, tied for 2nd fastest bow in the game currently.
And last I checked over half an Archer/Bards damage comes from their Light Shots.
Sure Ifrit's bow beats it in pure damage output, but over time the higher dps bows would catch up.

There has been a bit of progress on the aforementioned sanction adjustments that I would like to update you all on.

Currently it is only possible to receive sanction from the Grand Company counter you are a part of, but in patch 1.22b we will be making it possible to receive the effects of sanction from the other Grand Company counters that you do not belong to after completing a special quest.

We are still continuing to look into items that will imbue you with the effects of sanction and will be sure to let you know of any updates on that front as well.

I think we were trying to get away from DEATH=TOWN for sanction though.

You people complaining about Sanction after dying need to just get over it. Don't die, keep your sanction. You think it's crap? Don't get Sanction. The devs have much more important things to worry about than people who don't want to put in the work to do well.

You can still whoop on Ifrit, Garuda, whatever with some heavily melded weapons, or even without! Just relax.

Call me when the Sanction item is ready in 2.0.

re-Sanction at camps is that really that big a deal to put in? Make it a quest if you have to but making you run back to town or spending seals/items to re-sanction is lame.

Edit: I've heard alot of suggestions to make death reduce the duration of sanction instead of removing it. Something like death= -20min on duration. Not sure if something like this can be coded into the game atm but something to consider.

I have to agree, it's really lame that it will be from GC counters only. Why can't it be obtainable from camps? As it stands I'm still being told by people not to use my Serpent Sergeant's Bow because it's weak in comparison to my Ifrit's Bow. Not true when Sanction is active, but soon as it isn't, bow's kinda useless VS DPS. I've learned to deal with the losing sanction part but having to jump thru hoops (I have to permanently leave my Inn as the Roost now.) to obtain it ever time I die is really stupid. Lose it when you die, I can live with it now but please don't make it so tedious to reobtain each time. Thanks.
