9th Anniversary Discussion

I was under the impression that fast respawn time was an internal change, and had nothing to do with Kishin?

This is a common misconception.

The faster than normal(instant) respawn is caused because of Kishin. On a map that hasnt been affected with Kishin, the respawn is the regular one(6-7 secs as i said before) but if on said map you cast kishin then the respawn will become instant until the next server check(hence why there are complaints about the respawn speed becoming low after a server check).
