Is it possible to completely eliminate full and fed up debuff with the potion? If yes - what's the point of the timers at all?

Loving all the work you've put in! Excited to try it out. Even more excited for them to keep coming.

Yes. And yes we considered just removing the timers all-together. At the end of the day though we did feel that the timers are a nice touch that set a reasonable pace of advancement. Players looking to exceed this pace, can do so through extra effort, but are getting a quasi-diminishing return as they are spending time just to nullify something that will dissipate for free to the casual gamer who progresses at the normal rate.

How clever of you to say that you can scalp the tribe, I see what you did there! Anyhow, enormous patch, cant wait to test it!

I guess it's up to us to test and figure out if the return is appropriately diminishing / hard to achieve
