I have enjoyed the new Prison of Elders content quite a bit. However, I have been teleported across the map, usually to a spawn point, several times. This has happened on both the Hive map and the Vex boss map.
There does not seem to be any rhyme or reason to it. On all occasions, I was not hiding or holing up in a small area of the map. I was definitely not idle. These teleports separated me from my team and as a bubble-titan, my ability to support my teammates is directly linked to my proximity to them.
Please tell me that this is a bug and not a randomness-generating mechanism. Prison of Elders is fun because it requires teamwork and, especially on higher levels, planning. Random teleports, such as into the spawn point of cursed thralls (which immediately detonates them), hinder both planning or teamwork. The teleports only take away from the PoE and Destiny experience with no value added. It is a net loss that makes PoE less of a challenge and more like something to be endured.

In the Hive map, the back left corner has areas along the wall you can step into that are out of the playable map. The poster was saying you can look at your armor and weapon buffs on the bottom left corner and if they are not showing, you are not in the map and will be teleported.
