Icestar Posted July 31, 2015 Author Share Posted July 31, 2015 Updated the term "Squelched" as many players wonders why they get the message "You are squelched" with the official definition of spam. It might explain why the "squelched" mechanics activates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DorjeeVajra Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 (edited) Thank you for making this and adding a link to it at: SWTOR Community Guides and Resources - SWTORCGR : Great for New players and Veterans. You're guide was added to the Miscellaneous Guide Links - 4.0 page of SWTORCGR. There is a high volume of new player coming in right now so I am sure a lot of people will find this very helpful. You can also find links to other guides for Chat Commands, SWTOR and MMO acronyms and abbreviations on the Misc. Guide page I added yours to. Ty for sharing. P.S. I'm a bit busy real life ATM but i'll go over your list and see if I can add a few. I'll try to make a spreadsheet sometime soon. It should make adding new terms easier as well. I'll let you know when I get around to making it. --------------- Made a link to your post @ Reddit.com/r/swtor here is the Link if you want to check out the comments people leave there.

DorjeeVajra Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 What is a PUG? I hear a lot of horror stories of people doing Pug FP's and everything going wrong I've been through that, but I never figured out what that meant BTW PUG means pickup group or pick up game depending on the MMO or MMORPG Some times used in a derogatory way implying things aren't going well because this is a pick up group.

I agree with the amount of new players this would help a lot of people. Tip: Use it sparingly but when you find a post that really deserves a sticky do as one moderator recommended a while back use the [Report Post] function on the main body of the thread and leave a note on the report that the post should be stickied and why.

AlrikFassbauer Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 Perhaps 2 more entries : - Gree - this is also an non-playable race (apart from the event) - Mando - could mean Commando, but I'm still not sure about that. I'm still confused over whether the Bounty Hunter class is means - which normally is an Mandalorian, or the Commando, which could get abbreviated as "Mando" as well. Apart from that : Good work !

AlrikFassbauer Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 Yes, BH = BH. But that's not the thing I'm confused with. The thing I'm confused with is either a) Mandalorian b) Commando. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree and updated the Gree entry. I am not so sure about Mando beeing Commando, does anyone actually say Mandos when they speak about Commandos? I would not say that Mando is the Bounty Hunter class, because not all are Mandalorians. Edit : I updated Mando with : Mando = Mandalorian (some Bounty Hunters are Mandalorians but not all, Mando has also been suggested to mean Commando).

ChevyTurk Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 So what are 'adds'? I see this a lot when people talk about endgame PVE stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CheaterLL Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 So what are 'adds'? I see this a lot when people talk about endgame PVE stuff. It's weaker enemies that you have to fight in addition to a boss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icestar Posted February 8, 2016 Author Share Posted February 8, 2016 (edited) So what are 'adds'? I see this a lot when people talk about endgame PVE stuff. Nice suggestion. I will update with: Add(s) : It can be weaker enemies that you have to fight in addition to a boss. It can also mean that a enemy joins the fight either expected or unexpected, someone in chat might write "add" if that happens.

It can also mean that a enemy joins the fight either expected or unexpected, someone in chat might write "add" if that happens. Along those lines... pat = patrol a single or small group of NPCs that moves between two or more points (could transition into an "unexpected add" if the person/group is not careful). train = a large group of mobs chasing a player character Edited February 9, 2016 by psandak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
