Dune: Awakening's latest patch adjusts PvP respawn timers and ends 'goomba stomping' in the survival MMO.
Respawn timer for PvP zones increased to 70 seconds for first death and 115 seconds for subsequent deaths to address frustration of immediate respawns in battles.
Players will no longer take damage from vehicles to prevent 'goomba stomping.'
Additional features in the patch include relocating server messages for better visibility, removing a deprecated ornithopter engine schematic, enhancing server stability, and implementing further fixes.
The changes aim to address some PvP issues in the game, though they may not solve all problems.
