Can you specify how to replicate this issue? When there are uplinks available but you don't want to spawn on them so you press triangle for the random spawn. I would say maybe 70% (?) of the time it will still put you onto an uplink. This might not be a bug but might be related instead to where people are grouped and the random spawn appearing as though it is on an uplink. Not sure. But it does happen pretty frequently and would be a bit coincidental if what I just said was true. Ok thanks. I have mentioned this to QA. See if we can reproduce the problem. Thank you for the details. Sometimes players drop uplinks near default spawn points. It may account for what you are seeing. |

instead of trying so hard to spawn near blues
try harder to spawn not near reds
:P
it would also help the issue of getting trapped for a long time in a tiny area because that's where teammates are so random always drops you there even though there is a giant map available
This is they way level design thought it was supposed to function. It seems they changed the system at some point.
We place large entities that are a hub for spawn points (the spheres in this image). Attached to those circles are spawn points. The system should be using those spheres to detect the safest, furthest away from enemies as possible. But clearly it does not seem to be doing that.
However, the issue with hitting default and landing on a drop uplink is entirely possible. I don't think that is the root of the problem though. I have already mentioned this to our team, so some one is looking into it, or will be. |

Confirming that hitting default when uplinks are available sometimes makes it look like you're spawning on that uplink anyway. Whether you actually do is another thing entirely, and something that I haven't tested. |

I have tested that: I've definitely hit triangle, seen the map center on an uplink, then spawned somewhere else. That seems to just be a map visual issue. |

Hmmm, ok, so this is a UI issue. Not a major issue, but definitely misleading and should be looked into at some point to avoid future confusion. |

Maeby; Maeby not. Probably needs more testing to decide.
I did have this happen last night; got overrun by reds, elected to autodeploy instead by pressing ctrl while having the uplink selected (it was ambush), then 'autodeployed' straight on top of the uplink with predictable results. |

This this this.
Sometimes it seems like there isn't a way to get away from horribly placed friendly uplinks. |

I just want to echo this statement. It still happens, I had this happen last night more than once in the same match. The very first spawn in put me directly in-front of at least 5 enemy mercs. What was I to do really? |
