• The XP bar now reflects whether or not the player is receiving the early game boost
• Players who are receiving an early game boost will be shown "Learning a skill..." as the title of the XP bar while gaining XP
• New locale string 'XPBar.Template.EarlyGameBoost'

NOTES:
You can turn off this system in experience.yml 'EarlyGameBoost.Enabled'

The Early Game Boost is a system in which players receive drastically increased XP gains for the first few levels (until the first set of skills are unlocked)

With default settings, this means players will be receiving boosted XP for the first 5 levels (50 for Retro)

The Early Game Boost ends when players get the first skill in each ability under default settings

The main purpose of this system is to alleviate progression issues with a few skills where the first set of unlocked abilities drastically increase how fun it is to level the skill

The secondary purpose of this system is to alleviate any psychological issues when grinding towards the first set of unlocks by making the first set of unlocks happen quickly

This system has been in place for a few versions now, but without an in game indicator of what was going on.

If you have XP bars off there is still no indicator that this system is in place, I'll address that at some point.
