Tits or GTFO: Age of Conan devs apologize for shrinking in-game boobs photo

This story has been the best of my day so far. Apparently, Funcom, the developers behind Age of Conan, started to get complaints recently that the female characters in the game had decidedly smaller breasts than they had sported previously. It was even posted on the official site's forums, complete with before and after pics. Need MOAR BOOBS PLEASE!

In an offcial statement about the issue, Funcom said:

"Funcom can confirm that some of the female models in the game have had the size of their breasts changed ... this is due to an unintended change in data that was introduced in an earlier patch, data which controls the so-called morph values associated with character models and the size of their respective body parts. We are working on a fix for this and your breasts should be back to normal soon."

Your breasts will be back to normal soon! I really can't stop laughing. The response of the forum users is mixed to say the least, but it's clear that some of them are as amused as we are. I'd like to say something about how this reflects on society, but really, it's all been said. Just give me some proper watermelon-sized tits and get the frak out.

On the plus side the female characters have had a significant decrease in back problems.

The only thing more hilarious than taking my avatar and flashing people with my ginormous boobs, is to flash them with my freakishly deflated ones. And then to do it while dancing.

Was that "frak" intentional, Colette?

"Back to normal"... Yeah...

Best thing I have read all day and when you tie that with what Mxyzptlk wrote I'm just groovy!

It's hilarious that people would complain about shrinking bewbies, or even notice it for the fact.

Hahahaha! At least they are acknowledging the change and assuring concerned boob loving gamers that they will fix it back the way it was. Blizzard would have just ignored it and gone about their merry business of taking your money. I bring up Blizzard because it reminds me of when they took out the awesome dances the avatars used to do because some people were offended. Bunch of sissies.

Also... MAWR BEEWBS!!

I'm sure the customer service rep that had to write the official statement never thought s/he'd ever have to write "your breast should be back to normal".

I lol'd and shared with my friends.

Yeah...the fact that guys play girls is already fuckin dumb. And I know it's the guys complaining because girls wouldn't care.

Sorry Syn, I would rather look at some decent chick than a sweaty beast.

I mean, if that's what you're into, more power to you~ But, I bat for one team.

Thats quite a large leap in logic my friend. Since when are cross-dressers more manly than men who act like men?

I'm sorry, I ~play~ games online. I don't like ~playing~ with males.

Gives me something pleasant to rest my eyes on while grinding for numerous hours. 75+ sucks -_-

Whew, I thought I was about to get into a "discussion" with another Cyberxion. For that I thank you.

I can understand the reasoning behind it, several of my friends do it too, and we all have the same argument every time it comes up. You get free stuff, you don't have to look at a square pixelated ass, instead you get a round one. But other than that it serves no purpose.

But then again I don't enjoy mmo games at all, the only level grinding I do is on Disgaea.

I actually wish they would have made the game with some varying bewb sizes. Sure you can somewhat adjust the size in the character creation but it doesn't really seem to affect much. I find this worse with NPC's too here we have the old sear lady you meet at the beginning of the game that has and old looking face but stuck on the same body model that would be a younger character. I'm not saying make the character look freaky old with bewbs that sag to the ground just make the characters vary a little more with age especially.

But it is funny that this caused an outcry.

I'm very amused that there isn't an outcry about the controls, accesories available in the game, or the usual stuff you'd hear about after a game is released.

Nope. The players are furious over the reduced boob size.

Classic.
