<div class="IPBDescription">Are they being addresed in 1.1?</div> After seeing 6 ha/hmgs/gls being cut down by 2 fades and 1 gorg with adrenaline,im starting to think webs are overpowered.
A 0 res marine shouldnt be able to kill a fade by itself,so......do the res calculation for above example.
There is no possible way to weld a web when the gorg starts spamming the webs EXTREMELY near you.In a split second,you are webbed.You have to be EXTREMELY lucky to be aiming the welder at the EXACT spot he hit with the web.
I mean jesus a gorg with adrenaline can take a ha/hmg by itself.....just web like crazy and spit/healing spray.
Will this be addresed in 1.1?

In my opinion, no tweakage necessary. But new and exciting additions to pre-existing elements in the game are certainly welcome <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->
It doesn't always work, but when gorge spits about 5 webs at you, one of them usually works.
I dont have any problems with those "normal" webs, which are pinned between two walls or on a floor.
In any case, those marines sucked big time; a pack like that is well nigh invincible if used correctly. If you get webbed, moved towards the back or middle of the pack until it wears off. Have at least one grenadier spamming grenades at any approaching gorges (it's one brave gorge who walks through that). Have also one shotgunner to smash the fades if they try for a meele attack run. Make sure your com gives you plenty of health, and keep the welding happening. You'll be virtually unstoppable and any alien stupid enough to get into close quarters with you is going to be toast. Yes, it can be stopped. But only by a godly alien team who have all gone fades and all concentrate their efforts in one place. Hell, that group only has to reach near a hive then they can hold a phase/seige base with ease.
And Ahnteis I *think* that the unwebbed teammates are shooting the gorge and tbh I don't think he'll have time to web some other marines...
Here's a qoute from hudson's tactics...may help
Shoot...Shoot alot...and don't spend any time aiming or identifying targets.

omg nubs
a gorge can shoot 2 times on the ground where your at and the web will form right below your feet gettin you automatically stuck, and then when yer stuck they can do it again, again, and again till you cant move for a couple minutes. in this time im sure the gorge could heal spray you. Espieceally if he had fades as back-up you would be dead. This is one of the reasons HA rushes dont work well in clan matchs. Way too easy to counter.
It really doesn't matter if the other HAs have "skill" when they can't shoot and can barely move. Mind you, that's indefinitely until either they luck out and kill the gorge, which would be the gorge's fault, or if the entire team's there decked out in HA's. Even in that scenario, they have much worse problems such as killing the fade/skulk/lerk chewing away at them than to worry about killing the gorge.
Of course, there is the possibility that the gorge isn't using the webs right. It's night impossible to stop a good webber from getting the HA's at the back.
Hey, If 2 HA/HMG/JP marines can take down a hive in less than ½ minute, I think its completely fair that a gorge can counter-attack them.
HA/HMG/JP is a lot lamer than webs. Period.
it hink webbing should be delayed, it forms and takes a few seconds for it to "dry"
this solution would make webbing be used strictly for defense, as i think it was intended.
Yes. They are. Now, would you like to define the word 'addressed' in this context, and then I can happy not give you such cryptic posts. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
You really really havent been part of a ha/hmg/gl pack that ran into a skilled gorg with adrenaline and backup have you?
I dont understand how people can think that webbing marines,particulary ha/hmg marines on the move as a gorg is DIFFICULT.None of the regulars our server,including me,find it difficult at all.Aim near floor,spam mouse 1.....thats hard?Now its my time to say "nub gorg".
You actually dont need fades.All you need is a bunch of skulks.The marines cant shoot back anyway.
Welder - Yes,you are going to,SOMEHOW anticipate EXACTLY where i am going to web,be able to have time to take the welder out and start welding.....NOT.
To all the people who say kill the gorg before he can web you : Um webs dont take 10 seconds to be shot out.You are NOT going to have time to kill me before i web 3-4 of you has,thereby effectively blocking the fire of those behind(ESPECIALLY in a corridor) and all the while,my skulk/fade/lerk backup is happily doing 75-80 damage per bite/slash on the marines,who cant fight back......
The only time you can possibly out-shoot a gorg who is webbing you is if all the marines are surrounding it.Not likely.
When i mean "Addresed" i mean,will you STILL be able to web marines SO easily in the space of say,1 second?
/me has suspicious feeling supporters for rambo gorg that can disable 6 ha/hmgs at once wont support a freeze ray for the marines that can do the same thing.
