Please Reduce The Death-to-Itemdrop Timer

Everything about this game is super polished, but there's a small pacing problem. as a melee, I find myself wait a full two seconds to loot items of creatures I've killed. in a game where you may kill thousands of creatures, this can collectively rack up to lots of game time waiting for drops. this needlessly slows the pace of action.

It's reasonable for large creatures to have a delay to emphasize the severity of getting an important kill, but smaller, less threatening creatures should drop quickly as you mow through them.

it's not nearly as big a problem as you're making it out to be.

unless you're attempting speedruns, Valheim really isn't about putting on your "gotta go fast" underpants...

They should make you stop and loot everything by hand, problem solved. Extra time to skin animals and harvest meat.

If you kill deathsquitos and Leeches only, there is no loot lag.

Well, for people that mind, they mind.

For people that don't mind, they can pause after a kill and take in the scenery. Breath the fresh sea breeze, pound theyah chest like viking yo yo-hah.
