A follow up question, are any of your objectives set to spawn after another is completed?
Yes, I was using this map as well for something I was testing (Arc It's a mad mad mad mad tea party, don't remember the #) and the same thing happened. I zoned in fine, teammate #2 and 3 fell a long way and hit bottom, I had to tp friend them to bring them back. And teammate #4 was fine. I had maxed out boss details (5) enemy group was <empty> and had 1 floor collection object. I'm not sure if all the bosses spawned, since they were non-required, and ally.

You know I now recall this map having that problem in the mission where it first appeared when it was added to the game.

Yes. Several battles are supposed to take place (Leprechauns vs Midnighters) after the boss is either wounded or dead.

Sometimes when you have an objective created after another one is completed the enemies will spawn outside of the map. This doesn't happen on every map, but it sounds like the Midnighter Club is pretty buggy. If you have a defeat all objective and that happens, then the mission will be impossible to complete since the enemies are "in the mission" but outside of the map, so players can't actually defeat them.|

From what it sounds like, this is a case of the map just being bugged. The only suggestion I can make is to remove the defeat all objective if you have it, or try and find another map to use.
I had this same problem on the small cargo ship maps: for some reason, chained boss spawns in the 'back' of the ships sometimes don't spawn at all.
I tried 2 ship maps so far, and got reports on both... this doesn't seem to be an isolated issue. I never had it happen during my tests (so I couldn't use the 'move to next objective' button to find out where exactly the boss was hiding); the other bosses + destroyable object are also chained and always spawned without issue. I moved the final boss to a 'middle' spawnpoint for now, so far so good! (?)

I had removed the "defeat all" objective the very first day. I thought that might help, but (sadly) it seems to not make any difference.|

I agree the map may be bugged, but the Midnighter club is essential to the plot for this mission. If I place the mission on another map it screws with the storyline.

I tried moving my boss to the middle. I also tried moving him to the front. I even tried putting him in the "any" position.
No matter what I do, he won't show up.
