The developers of *Dune: Awakening*, Funcom, have acknowledged ongoing issues players are experiencing in the game’s Deep Desert, particularly concerning respawn times. While a fix for the much-reported problem of players being crushed by helicopters in PvP is already in the pipeline, the team is actively addressing additional concerns raised by the community.

Joel Bylos, Funcom's Chief Creative Officer, took to Reddit to reassure fans that improvements are on the way. Responding directly to player feedback, Bylos stated, “We are working on a bunch of changes/fixes to these things. Please bear with us.” His comment came in response to a post from redditor rustypipe7889, who detailed frustrations with the game’s PvP mechanics and Deep Desert experience.

One of the key complaints centers around the instant respawn timer in PvP zones, where defeated opponents can return to the battlefield almost immediately—even after a hard-fought victory. This has led to imbalances and frustration among players seeking more meaningful combat encounters.

Beyond PvP concerns, some players have voiced dissatisfaction with the endgame content in *Dune: Awakening*. Redditor Darqsat lamented, “End game is a total mess,” citing a lack of engaging PvE content in the Deep Desert. With no legendary quests or exclusive items to pursue beyond T5 and duraluminium, many feel there’s little incentive to explore deeper into the desert. As it stands, the area is often dominated by hardcore PvP players, leaving little room for PvE-focused gamers to engage meaningfully.

Despite these criticisms, *Dune: Awakening* continues to draw large crowds. The game hit a new peak of 189,333 concurrent players over the weekend, showcasing its growing popularity. Since launching on June 10, the survival MMO quickly reached over 142,000 concurrent players on Steam and maintains a 'very positive' review rating on the platform.
