News - Dune: Awakening Patch Notes Fix Frustrating Endgame PvP Problems
<p><a href="https://www.gamespot.com/games/dune-awakening/">Dune: Awakening</a>'s latest update has brought major endgame PvP changes, putting an end to one particularly annoying strategy and making death in PvP zones far more punishing.</p><p>Update 1.1.0.15, released June 18, makes it so players no longer receive damage when hit by vehicles in Funcom's survival game set in author Frank Herbert's sci-fi universe. It may seem like an odd change out of context, but it's to curb a <a href="https://www.gamespot.com/articles/dune-awakening-pvp-strat-of-ramming-people-with-helicopters-will-be-fixed-dev-says/1100-6532406/">PvP strategy</a> developer Funcom has called "goomba stomping" and previously vowed to address. The strategy involves players in their <a href="https://www.gamespot.com/articles/how-to-unlock-craft-and-repair-all-dune-awakening-vehicles/1100-6532312/">flying ornithopter vehicles</a> continually crushing enemy players on the ground by repeatedly flying into them.</p><p>It's a welcome change that should make endgame PvP more interesting. Another significant PvP change is an adjustment to respawn timers. Instead of being able to quickly respawn in a PvP zone, as was previously the case, players will now need to wait 70 seconds after death in a PvP zone. Subsequent deaths will take 115 seconds.</p><a href="https://www.gamespot.com/articles/dune-awakening-patch-notes-fix-frustrating-endgame-pvp-problems/1100-6532538/?ftag=CAD-01-10abi2f/">Continue Reading at GameSpot</a>
