Spawn on Edge of Map (GAMEBREAKING GLITCH)

    I have recently discovered that there is a glitch in the new version that causes players to spawn on one of the far sides of the map. Perhaps some of you have noticed that enemies randomly appear behind when you're SURE they didn't breach your defenses? They aren't hackers. They just fell victim to this glitch (and the word "victim" doesn't mean that they don't take advantage of it).

    I have recently experienced this glitch. I was killed after building an outpost, and while my respawn time was running, I saw the outpost destroyed. Immediately after, I spawned at the far left edge of the map.... in the sky.

    I didn't get to kill any enemies, however, since the left side of the map was my team's side.

    I don't know how people end up spawning on the opposite team's side, but so far I have a few ideas.

    1) It is random which side you spawn on if this sequence of events occurs
    2) You spawn at the closest map edge when this sequence of events occurs
    3) Every player, no matter which team, spawns on the left edge.

    Idea #3 is most likely in my opinion, since I have been blue team the whole time, and I have never seen us get the flag without smashing every castle in our way. On the other hand, I've seen several Reds suddenly end up behind all our defenses.

    This gives Red a ridiculous advantage, ESPECIALLY in capture the flag.

    I hope that the issue is resolved soon.

    Post if you're as worried about this as I am.

    I think it's something to do with the spawn location not switching while the outpost is being destroyed, so the game chucks you up into the left side corner as that is the origin or something like that. From what i've heard (and seen) it only happens while your outpost is being destroyed while you're respawning.
