Suggestion: Remove SN Death Penalty

[Satos]

Super Novices have adventurous spirits...but they lack the physical constitution for it.

I've always dreamed of a Super Novice life, without having to worry about lag.
The +10 stat bonus at Job Level 70 is a wonderful gift to everyone trying life out in squishy mode; and it's a shame to see it disappear when the internet blinks out.

At least dying is not a total loss, like "hardcore mode" on other games...
And I've heard sitting with a Soul Linker for 100ish casts builds character...
But after you've done it more than twice in the same day; a Super Novice kinda wishes that divine intervention would permanently resolve the problem.


Thanks for your consideration.

We probably won't just make the +10 stay at all times. Otherwise, we could've just changed the job bonus and removed that feature. The +10 is supposed to make it a reward for staying alive on such a squishy class, and that even if resurrected, the +10 will be gone until next time you're in town.

However, what we'll probably do is to make it much easier to regain the +10 on soul link cast and remove the "chance" of the erasure upon soul link so you don't need to waste time spamming it in town. We'll most likely do that in the future.

Just for now you can ask for others to help you reset death timers for super novices

Just confirmed that we will probably remove the 1% chance on SN link to remove death counter on the same maintenance as potion pitcher fix, and change it to an automatic success. You will still need the soul link buff from a soul linker though.

That's awesome! And just as good in my book.
Thank you very much!
