Change DPS forever, this cannot continue.

I think it's safe to argue that in the context of the game DPS as an initialism is also a noun. I also think it's not worth the dev's time changing it when that time and energy can go elsewhere.

There's more than one dev.

There's more than one dev.

Are you sure about that?

What's wrong with handily giving an acronym to our Damage-Preoccupied (Stackable) Soloists?

Also, imagine needing damage intake, misdirection, timing-dependent value, or others' health bars to have fun... >.>

Anywho, if "DPS" is so awful, imagine if we had gone with "d/s" or "dmg/s" instead. Could have been worse than just not sticking with "DDs".

Are you sure about that?

He never said there was more than one dev's worth of work being done in regard to job design. He just noted that, officially, there is more than one. /shrug

Considering how easy it is to make dungeons for your playerbase, probably not. Yellow circles and xylophone music. Apple slices for snacks and nap time.

I'm fairly certain we called them DD in FFXI. Dunno what changed. lol

I would find "DD" a bit inconvenient because that's also not an uncommon way to appreviate "damage down".

Yeah, I remember that all them years ago. It was when I started WoW that "dps" replaced "DD" in my MMO vocabulary.

Got a little confused...I play naval games so DD means something both much different and also sort of similar.
