First of all, if it rains hard enough in real life for a lightning storm to occur, theres not just going to be a couple strikes then the storm is over. That's just insane. A max of three is no where near realistic. Survival 303 was never realistic. I'm pretty sure if ANYONE happens to be on goldrock/lynx(Whichever you call it) and lightning strikes the island, EVERYTHING is going to be decimated, EVEN IF they are inside the cave. '''I haven't seen anybody live on lynx. Besides, its WAY too small for lots of important stuff to be destroyed.''' Roblox explosion physics ignore walls. 30x30x30 is way too big, you'll have to nerf it down MORE. I'm pretty sure 15x15x15 is still a bit overkill too. Keep in mind this happens 3 times per storm Furthermore, how does a stone building have more chance of getting struck than a wooden building? '''Another RL logic? I'm saying this so noobs don't get hit, spam bad stuff about it and decrease the population. Pros will survive and can rebuild''' Basically your logic states that INSTEAD of building a stone warehouse, you want to go with a WOOD one. '''Look at my comment above. Also you need to fireproof the wood because of the storm projectiles.''' For effeciency. Thank you. No seriously, anyone else found some broken logic in that? Also, a lightning bolt homing in on a player with armor is just too much for me, honestly. I think thats a bit overpowered. But anyways, heres my main rant about that, you ignored woven vests and rockma armor. Whoops, thanks for reminding me. Okay, no one cares about rockma armor, but still, IF this gets added, woven vests, quivers, rockma armor, and leather armor should not raise the chances of getting struck. Yeah, I'm gonna update my lightning idea. For If anything, reinforced versions of armor should have less of a chance of getting struck than their entirely metal counterparts. '''" (the more health you get from the armour, the more chance there is)." - Me ''' Here is my example of why this should not be added:

The mithril gods of the server are having a predefence rally


 * lightning strikes them and destroys their armour*


 * noobs with steel charge in*
 * 1. Noobs would never get armour, they are probaly normal players, which don't know where mith is/how to make bluesteel. 2. We don't want the miths to rule and torture the others for a long time.

GG. Need I say more?

I don't understand how having a person's armor be destroyed is going to stop them from ruling the server. Did you even look at what YOU said in the bullet points? *cough cough* RANGED *cough cough*. Even if this did stop pros from ruling a server, why would we want that? '''So the others don't get tortured by mith people and noobs don't go and rage about it. When the miths lose their armour, the others will hunt them down and kill them, and a new age starts. If this kept decimating people's equiptment, no one would have decent armor because zeus forbade it. Max 3 per storm. Also, its EASY to repair/remake.''' That means little to no pvp for pros. ^^^^^^^^ Besides, no one wants to spend their entire day running away from storms and taking cover in caves.

Anyways, in conclusion, I ask that you the community vote against lightning being implemented into the game.

I don't think having a chat message saying that somone died is really worth it, it'll just get anoyying to see after a while. Eventually it will probably get taken down, like the "Ask not who for the bell rings for" messsage did. Lightning is a rare chance, so it won't appear much.

All this nerfery doesn't even address one of the problems that most of the community previously saw as a reason to vote against lightning, which was that if a bolt of lightning struck the ocean, lots and lots of people who were swimming would DIE, effectively rendering swimming useless. '''BOATS BOATS BOATS BOATS BOATS BOATS BOATS BOATS!!!!!!! Also, I said 30x30x30, not the whole ocean.''' You might be asking: Well what proof do you have of this?

Here are some quotes from the reddit: KingPatzer

 "Lightning striking the water will generally not penetrate the water but a few inches, it will instead fan out over the surface."

Okay, so now you might be saying, I don't care if he said that, he isn't an expert!

Well... "I'm a scuba instructor and I've frequently been in lakes during bad weather.", says Patzer. EVEN THOUGH he says that "L ightning striking the water will generally not penetrate the water", that still doesn't mean that swimming isn't obsolite. Most people who play S303 swim on the surface at all times if possible, they don't walk on the bottom of the ocean or do a hybrid of both unless neccesary, so that statement is null and void in this case.

Stop using RL logic, this is S303 logic.

Anywho, in conclusion, I hope you the community, vote against having this implemented.
