Why oh why does the respawntimer count down to 0, then usually in the last second make the chosen spawn point unavailable, hide the UI for a second or two and then start the count down again…
Either I am missing the point of this genious and revolutionary spawn system, or Enlisted has created the first spawn system with such a highly developed AI brain, that it now has Alzheimer…
I am playing mostly Lone Fighter Mode so I guess this really gets on my nerves more, than most people.
Does anybody have any tips on how to avoid that?

THANK YOU
I would rather wait 20 seconds than 3x5, it’s very annoying that it keeps resetting. I play squads, same thing. It happens when the spawn is temporarily blocked by ally use or enemy presence, becomes about as predictable as a windows loading bar. It should queue people up, not create a click fest lottery about who gets to use it.
Adding multiple spawn points in close proximity seems to cause them to work together, so building a spawn close to one a teammate has built often helps a bit… But i’d still much rather have a queue

Oh and lets not forget the frustration when two teammates are close, and the one you could spawn on is layered underneath the one you - for some reason - cannot spawn on xD
Weird, that doesn’t happen for me - For example with two spawns in neighboring houses, I just get a single icon, and my squad will spawn in one or the other randomly (???)
Ah right I forgot,
in Lone Fighter Mode 3 random other players serve as mobile spawn points (sort of a replacement for your squad). However if they are near enemy contact it prevents you from spawning on them, just like with a rally point.
The decision however when your squadmate is seen as “in active combat” is made with a magic eightball, that first has to ask his own magic eightball to then have a random selection of 5 other magic eightballs vote on it.
Leading to occasions where you can spawn on one teammate, but not on the other and the game will think you want to click on the unspawnable teammate 9/10 times for some unknown reason…
somebody spawned on it ahead of you, locking it out for a couple seconds.
And don’t forget the game changing the selected squad. You’re waiting to spawn as engineer, the spawn timer reset, you don’t pay attention and you spawn with the sniper squad. Wat ?..
