Recently while going through the forums I've noticed that many times people tend to use acronyms to simplify their text. However, (and I hope I'm not the only one with this problem) many times those acronyms are so specific that they tend to fly right over your head. So here is a short guide to a few of the acronyms used in the destiny community.
IB= Iron Banner
ToO= Trials of Osiris
NF= Nightfall
VoG= Vault of Glass
TDB= The Dark Below
CE= Crota's End
HoW= House of Wolves
PoE= Prison of Elders
TTK= The Taken King/Time To Kill
KF= Kings Fall
ToM= Touch of Malice
RoI= Rise of Iron
WoTM= Wrath of The Machine
AoT= Age of Triumph
SBMM= Skill Based Matchmaking
CBMM= Connection Based Matchmaking
D1= Destiny 1
D2= Destiny 2
PvP= Player versus Player
PvE= Player versus Environment
TWAB= This Week At Bungie
LFG= Looking For Group
KD= Kill Death Ratio
FR= fusion rifle
AR= auto rifle
HC= hand cannon
MG= Machine Gun
RL= rocket launcher
DO= Dead Orbit
NM= New Monarchy
FWC= Future War Cult
OP= Over Powered
CoE= Challenge of Elders
CoO= Court of Oryx
WTF= What The F***
SFW= So F***ing What
TLA= Three-Letter Acronym
FLEA= Four-Letter Extended Acronym
Aoe= Area of effect
Dot= Damage over time
TLW= The Last Word
GG= Good Game
TL;DR= Too Long Didn't Read
WWWIONWSIAWWTCOMSLGTTOTCOBOVTFWICGHCTSDFAILTOORHWPBWTRTWCPTTDTTBOABTGOF = Whether we wanted it or not, we've stepped into a war with the Cabal on Mars. So let's get to taking out their command, one by one. Valus Ta'aurc. From what I can gather he commands the Siege Dancers from an Imperial Land Tank outside of Rubicon. He's well protected, but with the right team, we can punch through those defenses, take this beast out, and break their grip on Freehold.
Did I miss any? Let me know in the comments! Hope this helps!

We are trending! Also added a special one ;)

3 RepliesEdited by Xenomorph: 5/14/2017 8:24:40 AMOk... I had this conversation the other day with a group I joined via LFG. When someone says "Shoot ADDS", what are "ADDS"? In terms of enemies (way back when) ADDS = Adepts... But now every "grunt" enemy is an "ADD". Is this correct? Edited due to helpful comments. Changed ADS TO ADDS. Miguelrox replied with the following: [quote]ADES or "ADDS" means "Additional Enemies". personally, it's a term I heard originally in the Borderlands series.[/quote] Thanks for the replies, I'm a day 1 beta player, but I just lost context on this, and it seems a few other people I've spoken to recently too. Cheers.

Pretty accurate. Except that "OP" is more often used as a synonym for "Some gun that killed me that I can't figure out how to counter".

You missed a couple. STFU... no need to explain. Kid... Someone who uses your stats as an argument when their stats are better, even though stats have nothing to do with OP'S post.

Edited by Levigumba, Overload's Bane: 5/15/2017 3:22:47 AMUpper case TTK is The Taken King. Lower case ttk is time to kill. At least, that's what I do. Also, on the forums op can also mean original post.
