Yes you can be very unlucky and have a full squad of enemies spawn right behind you in Blast. However, if they give you more room and move the spawns way back, then it takes away the pace of the game. On some maps, the spawning requires some tweaking, such as star killer base, in which you can just spawn camp in the hallways. The other maps are better IMO.The spawning of HvV is at this point the worst. I have no idea what they changed, but it seems to me that at a certain point all the players are spawned at the same position (see death star 2 in the corner of the hangar), which results in a spam-your-lightsaber fight.

This issue with Blast is present since launch, but I have no idea if it's any different now then it was in the past. The problem here is that Blast has no direction towards an objective, so it's hard to get spawns to always happen somewhere without any enemies (or any players at all) to avoid that "out of thin air" aspect of the spawn.However on HvV, as seen on this thread: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/HvV-Spawning-both-teams-at-same-location/m-p/6734020#M12382 , is really annoying, as it seems the game tries to spawn you in the nearest spawn point to your team's target. If both targets are near the same spawn, it becomes a really annoying cycle of everyone spawning in the same place, over and over again. I already spawned inside an enemy, just to see him walking forward before me, so I could chase him from really close distance, just to be slashed by the next enemy that spawned in the same place a few seconds after me, and then see this very enemy being hunted by 2 teammates who happened to spawn in the same place like 1 second after the enemy that killed me. An eternal chase in the same place.

Not exactly the same issue, but on some maps you tend to spawn behind obstacles (Mos Eisley) or inside of structures (Kashyyyk) that sometimes are a little tricky to move/jump/roll over.

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!

Not appreciating your language original poster but I feel your pain. I too am very tired of the lowsy way this spawn engine was designed. I was snipping on the edfge of Takodana’s NW corner of the map, with only 5 feet of space to the out of bounds behind me and an enemy literally spawned right behind me like 4 feet back. Horrid. He proceeded to shotgun me in the back dead. Why is this even possible? Why does the spawn engine not have an enemy proximity buffer zone? This is just rediculous. Heck on “Heroes vs Villains” on Starkiller Base if you and the enemy your fighting die at the same time...you spawn literally inches from one another.Didn’t anyone actually Quality Control the spawn system?

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....
