Age of Conan Has a Gender Bias? Funcom Reacts

July 2nd, 2008 Posted in Online, RPG, Software, Update

It seems Funcom, developers of hit MMORPG Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures, have stirred up quite a ruckus with a seemingly honest mistake in their games code.

Apparently, users have noted that female avatars are slightly weaker than their male counterparts when making combination attacks. Funcom has made note of this and blamed it on the fact that the different gender’s attack animations aren’t timed exactly the same, causing males to output a little bit more damage than females.

Well, a fix is on its way but Funcom lets us know that, due to the amount of work needed for the fix, it will take some time.
