Can we remove random lightning strikes?

[SCPeach (Math Guy)]

Unlike other conditions, Stormy is pretty much just "every second we roll a dice, and that'll decide whether or not you just die and lose everything, have fun". Like cmon, keep the sparking stuff and all that, being a thing to be conscious about and deal with, not the randomly dying without a warning or being able to deal with it.

You can learn how to play around it.

Difference between wanting everything easier cause of lack of skill, and wanting the game to actually have things be counterable rather than just "good luck". Don't chalk me up with everyone else on here in discussions, I don't think Brackens or Jesters need a nerf anytime soon

I think the issue isn't really understand. There is no skill involved when lightning randomly strikes you without having any items in your hand. This is about as little of a skill issue as that one time I was playing on Titan, walking down the stairs, and an eyeless doggo literally spawns right in my face and I die.

There is no skill involved when the game's RNG literally says "Lol, ur ded".

There is skill in it, but I understand why some people might think it's completely unavoidable.

The "random" lightning strikes aren't exactly random. WHEN they strike the player IS, but the spots where they CAN strike aren't random. So you just have to avoid those spots.

You could also use conductive items to lure lightning there instead.

It's not exactly explained outright, but speedrunners know of this.

If you have a metal piece, the moment you hear static noise, drop all your inventory and run away... There you go, you learned how to counter it with theory, now go practice

100% this.

This forum is full of 'remove the lightning, nerf the bracken, dogs hear me so nerf them'.

It's just whining that I hope the dev never listens to.
