after the change, i never pop XP even when i should. i always feel like i’ll be wasting it if i drink it and die before the hour is up.
consumable hoarding is always quite annoying in video games, i suggest changing it.
my train of thought would be to make it last a lot shorter — like 5 minutes — then superbuff the XP gain for that whole duration.
this might make XP bottles more fun to use, it’s a shorter yet far more satisfying burst of XP gain.
