So I know that the topic of spawn times taking longer than they should has been brought up in some sections of the forum, and i'm not sure if this is the right place for this topic as I don't know if it is a bug, but......
The spawn times for the Molden Heath skirmish map are getting completely out of control. Lengthened spawn times are happening here and there, to me at least, on other maps as well, but Molden Heath is by far the worst. Now as I said I saw a thread about this somewhere the other day (but couldn't find it today), so I know the issue has been brought up. I'm bringing it up again because it is definitely getting worse. Way worse. This seems to be the case with any spawn points (CRUs and Drop Uplinks as well as the lettered objectives) on the left side of the map (if you are looking at the full screen map, wish I had paid attention to the actual direction, was to frustrated to think). I had this issue with this map a bunch last night as well as here and there for the past few days, but today it has happened EVERY SINGLE TIME I have tried to spawn at the above mentioned points. I select a spawn point, watch the timer count down to zero and.......nothing. Still staring at the map waiting to spawn. Sometimes i'm able to back out and select a new drop point, other times its locked in. I haven't actually timed it, it doesn't always seem to be the same amount of extra time, and as much as I want to exaggerate the time it takes I will try to avoid that, but it is EASILY an extra 20 seconds ON TOP OF the normal 3/5/7/10 seconds that is the norm, and i'm nearly 100% sure it is WELL OVER, but don't quote me on the last part. I do remember someone from the other thread talking about some error that makes the spawn time jump up to 40 seconds or something, but that's just a vague memory, and have no idea whether that statement has any merit. I've seen objectives lost (they have been taken when I was suppose to have been spawned there well before hand and am forced to select a new drop point and do the dance all over again), I've seen team members killed, all watching the map waiting to drop, thinking "if I would have dropped when I was suppose to I may have been able to help". Definitely lost WP due to this, but not so much concerned about that as I am watching an objective get taken when I was suppose to be on the ground 20 seconds before. I'm positive this is effecting the outcome of matches in some cases. And just to nip **** in the bud, I spawn at other sections of the map when possible, but when your team only has one objective and one CRU, and both are on the "bad" section of the map, your choices become limited lol.
I'm not in a blind rage or anything, and i'm not threatening to quit, but i'm struggling to justify staying in a match now when I see the map is Molden Heath. But I know I will cause I hate leaving a battle, so now my risk for a stroke has been elevated ;-).
P.S. Looked for said map in the "Skirmish Game Mode" section, but didn't see it. The planet is Orien IV, region is Molden Heath.
