@ UWE auto-spawn time

There is a very good feature in the game which is choosing the egg! BUUUUUUUUT you auto spawn after 2 secondes. Considering that you have a freeze for 1/2 second when joining the view of the egg, only 1,5 seconds left for choosing an egg. Which is, i'm sure you can agree with me, not enough to choose.

This feature has been here for a long time but we can't use it... Just make the 2 seconds -> 5 and i'm sure it will be great. If the guys are AFK, if they spawn now or 3 seconds more there is no difference, if not, they just press right key to spawn...

Thank you for your understanding.

    I personally always have a lag when spawning so i often don't see the message... And i'm running the game perfectly.

    It was an old feature taken out awhile ago. You used to be able to switch from different hives that you wanted to spawn at and the auto spawn time was a bit longer. One day it mysteriously vanished and I heard little talk about it. I'm sure it was a balance issue.

    It is not removed you still can see the message! People are asking again the ability to change egg, which is really intuitive.

    They just need to change the numbers to make the feature completely useful (which is obviously not now b221). It's not a feature addition either.

    You can still see the message, but try right clicking while in the egg, you don't change. At least, I don't..

    They removed the feature but kept the message as far as I am aware.

    I can change egg but usually its the one next to it... You only have 2 seconds to change so it is as useful as no feature... This kinda sux because its really useful to defend the right hive before Marines come in...

    You can switch which hive to spawn at, but not which egg sadly, it randomly picks the worst one of the bunch (i.e one marines pointing his gun ferociously at, or the one of all of them that will get you stuck, etc.

    It would be nice if something like what Planetside 2 does was in place (for aliens and marines). When you die, a map pops up with a list of different possible spawn locations (aka. Hives or Chairs). You select one and the map moves to that location. Now's where the difference is ;). Once you've selected your Hive/Chair to spawn at and the map moves to that location, you can select the egg/IP that you want to spawn from. If the egg is taken, you have to pick another. If the IP is currently active, you can choose to enter its queue or choose a different IP.

    There is a time where, after you die, you have to wait until you can respawn (the 3ish seconds that we have now), but after that time is up, it doesn't force you to spawn, just highlights the spawn button, telling you it's ready. This way, you can stay dead however long you want so you can pick the right location to spawn from.

    Are you sure you're actually changing the egg and not switching to spectating an egg? I've been trying to switch eggs ever since it was removed months ago and not once have I done it, I thought I did it once but it was only me switch screens so fast that I just confused myself. If this is what you're doing than I promise you it was a feature that was put on hold or potentially removed, I'm aware that it still says the message that you can switch but that doesn't necessarily mean it can still be done.
