I don't know if it's just me. But I love to sit out and watch thunder storms, and it's hard to really get into them when the only time you hear thunder is when you actually almost get hit by a bolt of lightning. The update list states "Fix for thunder not being audible" I'm pretty sure that means it will thunder everytime a bolt comes down (of just the sky flickers). I sure hope so anyway.

Anyone else genuinely excited for this?

I enjoy being underground and hearing thunder. The muffled rumble of the outside is very relaxing.

Yup, I hate never hearing it apart from when it hits close to you. Was there anything about cave ambiance on that list?
