Strafe speed is nerfed, aim assist is super strong, and you want more help hitting a "moving" target?

Big nope.

Current status of the game aside, movement is a key aspect to a shooter, getting webbed is a death sentence, it will always be OP.

The idea isn't (or shouldn't) be to slow a target to hit easier, but rather to deny a choke point to the enemy and impede their progress.

I imagine it working like a trip-mine. You place it down a corridor or a busy road and when an enemy gets too close, it springs an AoE sphere like a nano hive and everything inside gets it speed reduced by 50-75% (numbers are off the top of my head).

Two variants, vehicle and infantry. Neither can set off or are effected by the other: vehicle has a larger area, marginally shorter time, used for ambushing and temporary trapping vehicles; infantry smaller and last a bit longer, used for cutting off choke points and holding up hostiles. 1 per person, though they can stack. Can be destroyed via damage (perhaps only pre-detonation).

The difficulty of setting it up and the temporary effects this would have would keep it balanced, unlike if it were a grenade.

I could see it now, face to face with a tank and you choose to bust out a webber while they gun you down with impunity. If it's for infantry, well..same situation I suppose...but TTK is so quick you'd be lucky to show any worth. Why web them when you can just shoot them?

Think of it, your on some stairs with a web trap ready to pop, two guys run right in the door ready to take off your head and do other things to your neck, the web pops their over all speed drops by 85% bang bang bang their dead and you live, WOOT.

Joel II X Dah Gods O Bacon 824	Posted - 2014.02.05 00:28:00 - [7] - Quote A lot of people asked for these back when tanks flew at Super speeds. It still pops up from time to time. That said, I think is because it's needed. The Pacifier Grenade, as I like to call it, would act like a flux that decreases the speed of anything in its radius greatly. Maybe it should be an Amarr grenade since they're slow and if they use this on the quick Minmatar, they would get the upper hand for a limited amount of time. It would also add in more variety to racial grenades and gameplay.

Ah! I see, so the web trap is actually a device. That's pretty sweet. Combine that with a remote explosive and you've got a pretty fun set up!

The idea isn't about slowing a target down to kill it easier? I guess while they're slowed down at a choke point everyone will just watch the amazing webber in action, and not shoot a single bullet.... The idea is cool, but the game in its current state does not need a counter to mobility in any way, shape, or form.
Galvan Nized Deep Space Republic 581	Posted - 2014.02.05 08:04:00 - [13] - Quote Definitely would be nice for AV, though I imagine it would have to freeze a vehicle for several seconds to be effective. You can't just slow down vehicles or they'll move through the AOE in no time. Be great to see grenade and mine versions.

Why web them when you can just shoot them? add caps to tanks and you could use grenade variants to knock down their caps so they lose power and sit their defenseless unable to move or fire back.

So kind of like EMP Bombs like EvE has?
