DPS is role name ?

[Rolvag]

Other things of concern in relation to Final Fantasy XIV: ARR as an MMO.

1. We have /tells not whispers.
2. We have Linkshells and in ARR Free Companies not guilds.
3a. We have DoT (Damage over Time) spells and Enfeebles
3b. We have Sleep and Repose not mezs'.

Thank You so much for bringing this to the attention of the community.

Hi
my opnions is, that all this term are meaningless as long as others can comprehand them.
Ofc there will be legacy and other vet. players of Final Fantasy universe and they will be using FF terms, but as long as FF:ARR atract players from other MMO there still will be /whisper , GUILD and other stuff. Peoples are just lazy (including myself) and dont want learn terms over and over thats a fact.

using common sense and brain its enought

ps: i know my ENG. grammar ****

Except I can't understand when people tell me to use "mez" instead of "Sleep." I had also never heard the term "pat" before and was wondering what it even meant before someone mentioned it in a completely unrelated conversation. "los" was also a wierd one that I finally figured out. I've played TERA and FFXI before now.

Sometimes there are barriers in communication; it's up to those who use the foreign terms to adapt to the current game.

to be honest, i didnt heard terms as "mez" or "pat" before but for me its ok i have no problem to ask others what means "mez" etc. Imho best "shortcut" for me is using "CC" (crowd control) so i dont neet rewrite each class specifics but that isnt isue at FF since sleep is only one "reliable" there.

ATM game is still new so little understandings on comunity-language should be enought

btw just for fun : when i played SC2 it took me 2 days before I figured what they means with "cheesing"

There are also people who play a ton of MMOs at once or flit from one to another regularly and they just confuse their terms sometimes. I know I've done it. I play too many different MMOs. o_o
