psandak Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 Gimp = using (or more appropriately misusing) abilities and stats that do not suit your character and/or play style that results in a significant decrease in effectiveness (i.e. using gear with the Aim stat on a force using character, or having the accuracy stat on a healer's gear, or selecting a utility that serves no purpose in your chosen/current play style (when there is a utility that does serve a purpose), or severely mistiming the use of an ability) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icestar Posted July 16, 2015 Author Share Posted July 16, 2015 (edited) To me that word is used in a negative way and I only want positive explanations on the list. I do not want to teach the readers to call other players negative things. Thank you for the contribution and I hope you understand Edited July 16, 2015 by Icestar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JattaGin Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 Nice list. Even I learned 2 or 3 new things. Good job everyone! Definitely helpful for new players coming in (hopefully) with KotFE. One question though: Is "Pub" really the acronym for "Republic" on all servers? Alrik already mentioned that in german language they say "Rep" and I mainly play on The Progenitor (european RP server) and I have always been used to "rep(s)" and "imp(s)" there. I always thought that it's "Pub" only in America, because "Rep" refers to one of their political parties? Please fellow Progenitors, correct me if I am wrong, but Rep = Republic (and not Pub). Right?

I use the term Pub for Republic but I will gladly update with "Rep" aswell since there are some that use this term.

Just saying. Sorry for responding late to thisone, I missed your reply. Well, if any player gets called something in the game that is negative there are lots of other ways to find out what it means. The term you refer to is used in a negative way as a namecalling, and I do not want players to have learned about that in our collection of explanations. I hope that one day new players will visit this thread and say "hey, this is excellent to know" and to use all those terms ingame. New players are comming and I wish that all new players take a look at the list to learn what the chatter is all about when players try to interact with eachother in this game, it will make communication a bit more easier Edited July 20, 2015 by Icestar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Icestar Posted July 22, 2015 Author Share Posted July 22, 2015 (edited) I have a question: Do you consider GTG to be "Got to go" or "Good to go"? I asked around and got different answers, I would like to know what you think before I add it. The first thing means someone has to leave and the other that someone is ready to attack, kind of important to know what it means.

Storm-Cutter Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 I sometimes use the former, but I occasionally see the latter - I guess you need to take it in context. If you are in the middle of a FP, its probably good-to-go, but if you've completed it and are saying goodbye- Got-to-go. For clarity, I'd put both in the list one after the other. You might consider adding: YSH: Yavin Stronghold. BCW: Bounty contract week. 'Tog' and/or 'Toggy' : Togruta. - A playable race. Gree: The Gree event on Ilum PvE and PvP objectives, Plus an operations boss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
