    Does this not bug any other players? your timer after dying is set to around 5 seconds. you switch locations because the respawn logic seems confused at times and now you have to wait a whole 15 seconds. In TTH i generally decide i want to respawn wherever im placed and then take the tunnel to where i really want to go because of this respawn timer reset.

    The logic seems to be your respawn is set closest to wherever you last died but sometimes i find this isnt the case. perhaps the opposing team tapped the hall while my timer was going down and i was moved to a different spawn?

    is there a reasonable way to fix this issue? I know this bugs a lot of other people.

    I agree you should be able to choose where you go with out this "penalty" of time.

    Personally i'd like the respawn to work more as a team wide countdown, similar to Red Orchestra, where there is a 30 second timer or so that spawns at intervals and anyone dying queues up until the mark is reached. Makes the combat feel like waves of attackers.

    I wholeheartdly agree with the OP. In addition to the removal of the spawn timer reset, II would like to see slightly smaller icons for spawn locations that _stay selectable_ up until the time when you spawn. I'm sick of "Oh we have a warboat, I'll click to spawn there. Oh effff, we lost it, now I'm spawning at our flag. But we have a ballista. I want to spawn there." [Menu is gone, can't click to spawn there] *cries )':

    All of my yes. It was actually the most annoying experience I've had with KAG so far - the reset of timer and inability to reselect my respawn location.

    Having played the game for only 3 days, this is the only thing that bugs me so far.
