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.

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