A glitch in Age of Conan causes female avatars to do less damage than their virtual male counterparts, and according to Age of Conan's developers it will take "another three to four weeks" to fix.
As a result of each gender's attack animations female avatars attack slightly less quickly than male characters, causing their damage over time to lag behind.
The developers have already successfully fixed the animations for the basic attacks, but since Age of Conan relies on a directional special attack system, nearly 1,000 different animations need to be altered.
It's good of Funcom to be so transparent with their bug squashing process, but one wonders how this slipped through Quality Assurance in the first place, particularly with how culturally inflammatory this particular glitch could be.
