The New Gorge Web is offically useless and horrible

You plant it and then the marines kill it. Wut?

Why would you spent res that took you half the game to save. Not only that, the web is super visable. Plz stop adding random stuff that does LITEARLY nothing!

Do devs even care? Also why is Shadow Skulk so cool? God damn it, I shouldn't be excited by things with the word shadow. Serious non-trolling part, lets have a discussion about the webs. I think they are cool but a bit buggy. Great to handle the Jetpacks without needing a Fade.

    Webs aren't useless, you said it yourself there great for jetpacks, and they cant be shot

    It works pretty well if you can place it inconspicuously:



    The model placement could use a little work, though.

    "Do devs even care?"

    Great question, CyberKun. I think this kind of tone will strike up an excellent, thoughtful discussion about how to improve the "useless and horrible" gorge web.

    No, they just spend half a million dollars producing free updates for a game they couldn't care less about.

    If you want to post feedback about gorge webs please do so in a construct     god dammit I just realized you were trolling me I suck at internets

    I tried to copy/paste some of the hot topic words in the latest threads. Officially in something that is not even close to official, failure of the words literally, DO DEVS EVEN CARE, and a few other things. I am quite a large fan of the Webs, and Grenades in fact. Both of the two things do a lot of positive things for the game.

    Huh, so webs are 1 use only and destroyed whenever a marine touches them? That does make them a little less than effective.

    They can potentially mean the difference between getting away at full life with a jetpack and a lethal dead stop into a pack of death. It's easy to get carried away and spam more than you actually need to effectively cripple a marine, and you can't expect to snare more than one or two marines in a given hallway with a large clump of webs anyway (since that one dude is just gonna plow through most of them).

    Fun fact - webs do actually have a hitbox and block bullets, but can't be damaged by bullets. Not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing for webs, but hey, the more you know, etc.
