Oh I know several places I could add that to my "too lazy to type" vocabulary.

Thanks Neo

HawkofStorms · Nov 05, 2009, 01:26 PM

Hehe yeah, TL;DR is a real gem to use.

HawkofStorms · Nov 06, 2009, 01:32 PM

Oh, thought of another one to add.

CC - Crowd Control. Any ability that impedes movement/alters AI behavior (not used in GW1, may be used in GW2).

Could someone define the word "canon" for me as it is used in reference to lore in the Durmand Priory?

Surendre · Dec 07, 2009, 01:11 AM

Whereas ''1'' means ready, ''2'' means not ready. It's been used quite frequently in my experience, and still is perhaps.

Canon means that it is part of the official lore as presented in the game, or official statements (or the upcoming books I would assume). Things that are not canon are things like fanfics.

An example of something that is non-canon would be something like the TV series Smallville. It is not considered Canon to the Superman Universe.

Malchior Devenholm · Dec 10, 2009, 07:14 PM

OMG thanks man, I've been stumped on that for awhile.

Another one
"core", as in:
1. Everything (skills, professions, locations...) available to all Guild Wars Expansions - GW, GWFactions and GW Nightfall.
2. Fundamental members of a team, generally of a pvp-based guild.

Teebs · Feb 20, 2010, 09:20 AM

PvX is another word for PvPvE
you also have gl:hf, but dont have just good luck, have gl down just as guild lord, doesnt really matter but itd be nice to see it added

*Naoroji* · Feb 20, 2010, 09:51 AM

Actually, PvX means 'Player versus WHATEVER', so, this could be 'PvE' OR 'PvP' OR 'PvPvE'.

Also, as long as I'm posting anyways,...

Wrong. 1 means "yes", 2 means "no". So it's usually used after the party leader asks 'Ready?'.

I'll give you what 3 means, and then you have to guess which game it originated, k? 3 = Food, Please. Also, 4 = Wood, Please and 30 = Wololo ;o.

Edit: Oops, I'm going off-topic I'm guessing. :/

Age of Empires. I think AoE 2, definitely not AoE 3 though (as far as I'm aware). xD
