random(?) lightning strikes not fun

[keen mortar]

I don't know if it's a bug, a feature or whatnot, but it is really annoying to just get struck by random lightning strikes when playing (and most often than not fighting enemies) on normal difficulty or above.

may I ask the uh....circumstances of the lightning strikes?

[keen mortar]

when fighting, when just randomly wandering

[flint falcon]

you sure it's not a team mate zapping you

[keen mortar]

nah, it's happened when we were isolated from other players

[flint falcon]

odd

i would recommend posting a clip so people can help you better

i've put 60 hours in and haven't seen that

I am also curious what this phenomenon is

Horseman summon Lightning

when you hit an ennemy with lightning or they enter a lightning puddle they can be infused with lightning and zap you iirc

i guess it's from lightning dot's specialty being to spread

We need some recorded gameplay to determine what is really going on 😆

I think it might be a on death effect since ive noticed it aswell

[desert dawn]

Is it a Well effect?

[gaunt sparrow]

don't think so as it was happend in playtest 2 where wells did not exist

also there is not well message for getting smited

[desert dawn]

I see

I'll try to see if I can record a clip

I never use lightning, so the most plausible rn is a on-death fx

[flint falcon]

when you die there's a lightning strike if that's what you meant

[keen mortar]

it might just be we are dying, and we just notice the lightning strike afterwards and attribute it to what caused our demise rather than a effect due to our demise.

will have to record and review

That could be it, I thought the lightning got me a couple times.

I think Zeus has a personal vendetta against you
