Criticisms of the Crucible (Destiny)

I've always seen this as a good feature. There is an autospawn if you don't push the button, and the delay gives you a moment to adjust your equipment, if you need to.

It's useful for changing your equipment, though I have found that I can almost always find a safe place to change in-game.

What makes it worse though is that the menu itself can take up to 10 seconds to load. Why in the world does it need to sync with the server before displaying what is already in my inventory? In hectic moments between spawns it certianly would be nice to swap things out, but I can never trust that as the auto-respawn will dump me out in the open if the menu takes too long.

Again, I would much rather be fully in control and hide somewhere to wait for the network, rather than let the auto-respawn put me somewhere compromising (as it often does).

If the menu and respawns worked properly, I would agree with you 100%.
