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.

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>
