Webs Are Bugged?

<div class="IPBDescription">Maybe someone else has noticed this</div> There is something wrong with webbing in combat. This is what I've observed after a playing gorge for a few combat games.

Your first time gorging with web no problem, everything looks fine.
After you die, on your next life when you place webs you can't see them. Then on the next life you can see webs placed on previous lives by turning on your flashlight, but you can never see webs you placed during your current life. You can only see webs with your flashlight on the next life after placing them.

Also, this only applies to individual rooms, the first time you place webs in a new zone you can see them no problem, on following lives you can only see webs you've placed in the area previously with your flashlight.

Can someone else verify this for me or am I the only one?

    i think this is just regarded as a minor bug by the dev team and therefor not number 1 priority in there fixing list

    Their reach also seems to be extended farther than the sprite. Ive tried to fly above a single web that was diagonal in a pretty big door way. While ducked and flying through, the web would still catch me even though I can clearly see it below me. Just makes it confusing when you have a clear view and you get webbed.

    Make sure not to have your flashlight on while shooting webs, it used to be bugged and I'm not sure if it's fixed or not.

    Turn on the help text and make sure you don't get the "too many webs" message. You can only place a fairly low number of webs in each area, and there is also a total maplimit.

    Those web messages is why I still have the helptext messages turned on, even though all the other messages is just a distruction.

    Not (believe if it's on and you web, that web is flat-out invisible to you.). Another neat part is that you can't even tell if your flashlight is actually on or not when you're alone.

    This is one of the really annoying minor bugs in NS, because I really would like to use the flashlight while placing webs, so I can place the webs more accurately.

    Yeh webs and flashlight dont mix too well.

    I've seen the error you mentioned before but i just put it down to a noob gorge spraying all his webs in a corner wondering why it doesnt work.

    Although if they fixed up that bug and change it to be able to see the originating spot so you can clearly aim a web would be cool.
