Desmarestia Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 Can anyone tell me why the game mechanics are different on different platforms?

Emmisary of Immanence Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 Weird patching decisions? Jeff has never really explained it. —Alorael, who thinks it may be simply overlooked. Or maybe Jeff likes drayks and likes Macs and likes physical damage, and its a conspiracy to create more physical drayk-shaping Mac users.

Lilith Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 Drayks and drakons doing physical damage in the Mac version was probably a bug. The Windows version has a separate round of betatesting, so it was caught then, but presumably wasn't deemed worth releasing a patch to fix in the Mac version.

Desmarestia Posted November 29, 2008 Author Share Posted November 29, 2008 I see. Personally I would have gone ahead and released a patch, considering how important damage types are to the game. Or maybe a bulletin advising Mac users to change their data files accordingly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
