When the Reds are spawn camping some drop link why is the respawn auto deploy choosing the spawn camped version?
The spawn method used to be horribly broken, then it was replaced with something better. The best part was auto deploy would place you at some 'other' place than in the middle of a swarm of reds. Now if there is an uplink it always chooses the uplink regardless of what button you press.
Feedback -> This cost suits, clones and is not worth spawning until the uplink is gone.
Request -> Roll it back to the version that worked.
Have a nice day. We would like one too. |

Are you talking about ambush games where there is only one drop uplink, and even if you press triangle, the respawn timer initiates on that drop uplink?
As far as I can tell, it only uses that uplink to signal the respawn timer and doesn't actually drop you on top of that uplink. Unless of course you are unlucky enough that someone who spawned there immediately dropped an uplink, and you happen to randomly spawn on that location as well.
Bottomline is - you can still auto-deploy regardless of whether there are uplinks on the field (although the timer will still initiate on a live uplink if available). You are not limited to using those uplinks once they are deployed. |

Ambush is a mess. I have been on both sides of bad spawns. When three reds spawn into a sea of blue or you spawn on the other side of the board opposite your team and you get the point. My thought is the AI is trying to see what you would do in this situation. Or the game is toying with us like a mouse is to a cat. Either way the spawning is broken or is it? My fix to this is have everyone spawn in on equal distant points in neutral areas and rage it out in the middle. Drop links would become more viable then. |

@Sana Rayya, yes and no.
What used to happen not all that long ago was when triangle was pressed to Auto Deploy it would drop you in a very limited area on all maps. Once the Reds figured out where that was spawn camping was the order of the day. This produced a significant amount of QQ and CCP/Shanghai finally made it better.
The better version would actually spawn you somewhere else and also near your squad if possible. Sometimes one could get spawned in front of a hand full of Reds but it was way better than the nearly every time version we had before.
Now what is happening is if there is Any Drop Unlink the Auto Deploy will use it. Which is exactly the wrong thing to do and, indeed, it didn't used to do that. If X is pressed the result should be to choose the uplink. I can watch the one and only uplink be surrounded by Reds and there is no way to spawn somewhere else.
That is not how it used to work in 1.0 of Uprising. I haven't played that much ambush but some squad mates are eager to make ISK so that is what is been on the list. All of which doesn't matter except it means I don't know when the bork hit the fan on this. |

Yesterday, the ambush decided to start us off with a 2 on 2 fight. Myself and a teammate spawned right next to 2 reds. We won. |

This isn't what I've found. I've spawned using triangle even while there were drop uplinks on the map, and there was no uplink beneath me when I spawned in. As I mentioned, the spawn timer circle will pop up on an uplink if one is available, but it doesn't actually spawn you on top of that uplink. |
