Fix the damn spawn tubes! I wan't them to work like they are SUPPOSED to work. I don't want to get trapped inside. I want an "explosion" when they are destroyed like every other piece of equipment in the game(and like they USED to have). I wan't them to work when they are full health and the base has power. I wan't the map to accurately reflect the status of the tubes.
I'm not sure what bugs irritate me the most. But the spawn tubes have several bugs associated with them, so they are a real source of frustration on a daily basis. I'm really sick of the fact that in some cases they just don't work at all.
For example, our base was under hack and the base itself wasn't a spawn option for any of us. I figured the tubes were just down and the map wasn't updating properly. So I backdoor in and try to repair them. I couldn't because they didnt need repairing. They were all 100% healthly! The generator was 100% healthy. So why the hell couldn't we spawn inside the base?
The thing is I have seen this on the flip side of the coin. As a base assaulter and noticing that the enemy isn't spawning inside the base even though the tubes are up and the gen is online.
I have found a way to pretty much avoid being stuck now though, and I'll share it with you. Press your run forward key and hold it down about 5 secs BEFORE you respawn in the tubes. This has also gotten me out of the AMS pileups as well. Hope that helps.
