Most of the GA spawn locations are pretty good in that you usually can't get picked off as you spawn, but there are a few bad spots. Crait is really bad, there's a spawn point where the First Order can pick off spawning resistance down a mine tunnel. No fun to spawn in and immediately get blasted by explosive sentry.
Blast is the absolute worst. I spawned on Kashyyyk and within 3 seconds, I had 4 stormtroopers right behind me and of course got killed immediately. If they don't want to fix this (just like how they've refused to fix uncapped FPS), then at least give the players a 10-15 second shield to give them a fighting chance. This is just ridiculous.
I played a match of Yavin Blast today and I was running with 3 other troopers into the base when a single rebel magically appeared right behind me and killed me when there was no one else around us and we were running in that open area between the trees and the base.
I just played a match of Hoth Blast and of course we had a rebel spawn directly behind four of us at the same time but luckily that rebel got killed. Typical EA/DICE stupidity.
I wouldn't say it was a common problem or that it was totally random, but sometimes the spawn seed gets it's knickers in a twist and almose EVERY spawn appears to happen at the same point - turns it into a bit of a manic free for all and a mess for all characters. Better for the lightsaber heroes than the ranged ones admittedly....
I share the feeling with everyone here complaining about Blast. It's very annoying and even infuriating. But it isn't simple to solve, unless they stop picking a few "spawn points" and start spawning people anywhere on the playable map that's far enough from any enemy player (or any player at all to be even more immersive, as spawns out of thin air isn't immersive at all), which may be a very hard solution.
But there is NO excuse to any other mode, including HvV. Besides HvV, every other mode has a general direction the objective moves to. Redzones are different for each faction, many times the spawn of a faction is Out of Bounds for the opposing faction. And on HvV the team is only 4 people. It can't be hard to assign a spawn location that no one can see you spawning.
I don't play much of the other modes, but on HvV it's a total mess: people spawn right in front of you, or on your back. Many times you spawn inside another character. And how many times do people spawn in the same place over and over again? It's a complete mess!
