Fox Gaden Immortal Guides Learning Alliance 7	Posted - 2015.10.07 12:46:00 - [1] - Quote I have been asked to put together a list of the terms used in Chat and explain what they mean. New players are often very confused by the shorthand we use. Help me out by posting any that I have not listed yet. LFS [Looking For Squad] This person wants to be invited to a Fire Team, Squad, or Platoon. RF2 [Room For 2] This person has two open slots in their Fire Team. Squad, or Platoon and is asking if anyone wants to join. x [Chat equivalent of raising your hand] This indicates that your are interested, present, or ready. It is an affirmative response. "x" is a correct response to RF3 if you are interested in joining the squad. "x" is also used to indicate that you are back in your Merc quarters if your squad has been asked to back out of a match, or if you had to reboot your PS3 and are indicating that you are back online so your squad can invite you again. o/ [Person waving] Friendly acknowledgement of the people in a chat channel, or with a name to wave to a specific person. o7 [Person saluting] Respectful acknowledgement of another person in the channel.

Fox Gaden Immortal Guides Learning Alliance 7	Posted - 2015.10.10 14:16:00 - [6] - Quote Some good stuff there CELESTA, which I will add in when I get some time. CELESTA AUNGM wrote: EHP [EFFECTIVE Hit Points]: I think this is supposed to be the TOTAL of your dropsuit's shield HP + armour HP, added together. EHP also tries to calculate in things like resistances, and rep over the course of a battle. All the factors which effect how much total damage has to be expended to kill you.

Fox Gaden Immortal Guides Learning Alliance 7	Posted - 2015.11.10 19:53:00 - [7] - Quote Good suggestion CELESTA AUNGM. There is a lot of trade going on in channels these days. Hand/Eye coordination cannot be taught. For everything else there is the Learning Coalition.

What the heck does that mean? "I was up to 3500 wp in the FW unitl I got dced....". "Sorry about that. Dced!" To be "dced" means you were "Disconnected" from the game by the Server. Diconnected... DC'ed... dced By the time it becomes dced you have to say it out loud to realize what it means. That is what happens when the texting generation drops the capitalization and the apostrophe.
