Overloader balance tweaks (#19966)
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Halves the price of overloaders from 200 to 100. Free IPCs are an
economically disadvantaged group so something aimed at them probably
shouldn't be so expensive.

Triples the amount of time overloaders last. 30 seconds was too short a
time for meaningful roleplay to occur, especially given how much they
cost.

author: hazelmouse

# Optional: Remove this file after generating master changelog. Useful for PR changelogs that won't get used again.
delete-after: True

# Any changes you've made. See valid prefix list above.
