I really am enjoying the game and having a lot of fun. But how could anyone have though this was an acceptable idea? You hit the revive button (after waiting a while to see if anyone will bother to revive you), only to be revived half a map away and have a load screen. So, you start running back to the mission, only to be told you are out of bounds and face another load screen to be teleported back to the mission. Just revive us at the mission and save us the pain of two load screens please.
I'm sure this has been brought up before, but I faced it a couple of times this weekend and felt the need to vent.

I was thinking the exact same thing today. It does seem really stupid.
On the other hand, there has to be a downside to respawning instead of waiting for a revive. If you just turned up again in the same area then nobody would bother waiting to be revived at all!
Best compromise would be to respawn near enough to the area to not need a teleport but not so near that you don't need a fair amount of travel to get back.

that's a BioWare quality product for you same gripe with dying during a world event: you respawn at the nearest Strider and I still get lost on the map (helloooo, minimap please!) so I don't know where that f****** world event was and it is pure luck if I find it again... sorry, I'm a bit frustrated by the game right now (esp. the loot changes make this game not very rewarding right now)

Yeah that's definitely another thing that needs fixing. If you're in an event on Free Play and die you may as well write it off as you'll never find it again!
They should have the way point markers to guide you back to where you were.

also, when you respawn and have to wait in front of a locked door, and watch your friends struggle while you're just standing there

I was in a stronghold today where all four of us were stuck behind a barrier. Had to quit!
But that's more of a bug than a design flaw

Another annoying thing is when you're on a contract and the mission ends while you're still fighting! Yarrow's busy congratulating you on a job well done while the place is still being overrun
