Wad
 
I have been playing this game for around 9 months and always see " Is this a bug or a WAD".

I KNOW what a bug is but (and LOL, I am sorry for being so dumb),

What is the acranym (sp)for WAD mean?

I have tried everthing I can think off but it just doesn't come to me.:doh:

Working As Designed... or something like it. Working as intended would be probably better.

IMHO (in my humble opinion) this game has more WaD's than most games. I think its best to ask in a neutral manner before declaring something a bug in Dom3. Particularly at this late stage.

As Gandalf sort of implies, but doesn't state - we use the term WAD around here, because there are many little quirks that do in fact work the way they were coded, even if the code isn't doing what it was "intended" to do. Too many late nights maybe? ;)

Anyway, really egregious bugs get fixed pretty promptly usually (at least when we find them), but sometimes a bug whose origin is deep in the code, but is only a minor effect on gameplay, gets a thorough beating with the "rationalizing" stick, and once we figure out how it makes some obscure sense in the game, it becomes WAD, to differentiate it from a bug or intended feature. :happy:

Maybe this could be the new Astral thug for your mod, the Star Acronym?

The Ubiquitous Star Acronym. Son of Acronymius, the Morning Star, Seer of all that is Hidden, Blinder of all who Seek.
