I am sure the thunderstorms are needed for updates/fixes but I cannot help the delusional paranoia and anxiety from bubbling up.
First of all there is a countdown, so brain says oh crap here it comes. Completely unwarranted anxiety.
However, there are times when paranoia takes it personal. For example, you been hitting and fleeing a tough creature and you see the storm is coming. You know that creature is about to get full life as you curse the gods. The other time is ranking and you are close to an overlord challenge. The storms rest that as well.
I am not the center of the universe, but with enough storms I start to feel the gods are against me and I should return later. Why you so silly brain?
One time however a storm took my key to a nasty place, I thought, well that's probably for the best, but I prayed something like, "your storm stole my key", and a gracious god brought me another. Thankful for the intervention I slowed my way into that nasty place a few more times before I got unlucky. I think there is a moral to that story somewhere. |

Immortals are usually pretty cool about stopping a storm if you're doing something that is end game directed. Creatures in winter zaikkra chaos dragon stuff like that. As for anything else well you're shit out luck bud. |

Agreed, the immortals are cool about it, but I am more curious if anyone has some game anxieties.
I can't be the only one startled by a countdown. |

Storms often bring rares back into the game, and very often full hp from imms afterward. They are good! Just gotta remember you lose keys so you dont get trapped |
