Lets Talk About Spawn Rate Issues

So I've been defending democracy quite a bit - currently level 22.

In the past week or so, I've noticed a spawn rate bug that seems to happen randomly - enemies just spawn forever.

I've seen this happen for the bots and bugs, on both challenging and hard. Just randomly out on the map you'll encounter a patrol, then suddenly you're entirely surrounded.

Using stratagems constantly, getting 30+ kills each one you throw, and still the enemies never stop coming.

No, this is not a bot drop/breach, it's constant patrols spawning right on top of your group. On some areas the bots do hop off a ship, but as soon as the first ship leaves another comes to take its place. Talking 4 or 5 hulks/chargers at a time spawning within a minute. Destroying the ship just makes the next one come faster.

Once it happened midway through a mission and one of my squadmates got kicked - the spawns instantly slowed and the remaining 3 of us were able to stop them from spawning not 60 seconds later. Squadmates joined back and we were back to normal. I know this is a one-off as the missions prior to/after this one were no problem.

Anyone else have something similar happen?

See all comments

I don't think it's breaches/drops, at least in an intended manner.

The last bot spawn bug that happened to us, we as a group destroyed 5 drop ships and they were IMMEDIATELY replaced. 5 ships.

That cannot be intentional. I think some of it is bugged out drops/breaches. They don't actually stop coming. That said it's easier to notice with the bots since they come from above but the bugs seem to just be infinite patrols.

To clarify, this is not on the saving personnel missions - just pure ICBMs, destroy eggs, etc.
