Funny how everyone calls it DPS and not DD....
while DPS means damage per second and every class has that value. DD is often referred to as Damage Dealer.
So if you want to find someone who deals a lot of damage you'd say:
LF DD.

But somehow some people seem to have decided to post DPS and now everyone using that term, or is it maybe a regional thing!?

Havent seen any other mmorpgs with that term to be honest and I played them all.
DD is for me the right way to say it and I play MMOs since Meridian59 and Ultima Online and on the servers I played rarely someone said DPS, knowing the term doesnt make sense when you are looking for a "role".

Or is that just on my server? ;)

Here in WoW always everyone said: LF DD:

Im 39 been playing MMO for over 20 years and never ever seen one people use DD instead of DPS. -4/10 troll attempt try harder.

Out of those 39 years, how many non-english MMOs did you play over in Asia? This is the part everyone is conveniently disregarding, which changes the entire narrative they are trying to push if they acknowledge it.

Nobody is saying DPS is wrong and DD is right. What is being said is, DPS is NOT the universal end all be all phrase to denote that role.

DPS is primarily used in English speaking places, while DD is primarily used in Asian cultures. (Germans too, which I did not know).

Someone else also pointed out a while back, that if you were to use DPS in its full form, it wouldnt actually make sense, but using DD in its full form, does.

"I am looking for a damage per second"!! "Hey, I need a damage per second to run ragefire chasm"

Now, if you substitute it for "I am looking for a damage dealer"!! "Hey, I need a damage dealer to run Ragefire Chasm", I hope you can see the difference.

It's always been DPS in mmo's. If you wanted to raid in WoW, organizers wanted hard number detailing your damage output for your class spec, gear, rotation. You would use addons to track your damage per second.

We already found out it was a regional thing.

I remember times and games where it wasnt possible to determine or see your damage over time at all.

Floating numbers over the head of an enemy werent even invented back then.

The only measurement you had was what items you wore and based on that how far progressed you are and then the time needed to kill a boss.

dps and the numbers and how to see them with addons or mods came many many many many many many years later and after classic, if I remember correctly.

In Meridian59, an MMO way before the time of WoW and the time before Ultima Online, you couldnt tell how much your dps was other than estimate it by how fast you could kill mobs and there were certain items that were known to be best in slot.

It came out during vanilla WoW, and the term DPS has been the term atleast since WoW.
Both can be used, but DPS is the more common one

This has been a discussion, for whatever ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ reason, for almost a decade now (or rather, thats how long I've seen it).

You can use both, but more people will understand what you are talking about with one.
DD is more of a grandpa term

DD is more of a grandpa term
Meridian59 came out 1996 and wow came out 2004.
So that's where I meant many many many years later before dps was even a term used by everyone in the gaming community as to determine how much damage someone over time makes. Reccount got released 4.3.2005. You are right, that was still during classic times.
And lets not start with all the bad influence it brought to mmo's with that constant greed of min/maxing everything now and arguing and being toxic over who and what does 0,003% more damage than the other thing. I remember a distinct time were people in my guild didnt like those addons. Nowadays they are like bred and butter.


I'll be honest, I cant remember not ONE time where in mmos before WoW there was ever a DD that refered to himself and saying he makes X dps.
That unit wasnt really known back then afaik and wasnt used to determine a DD's d-size. Not long after WoW and Reccount.

No its your bs, I started playing WoW in 2005 it's never been anything but DPS. It is entirely regional i've never even heard of DD until now

Thats why I said DD is a grandpa term. It has been DPS for 15 years now.
Who knows, DD might be the term in 10 years, but the more commonly used one is DPS

Probably due to dps meters. People get it, they compare. When that stat is up for grabs, people wanna know what gets the highest DPS so the term people search for is DPS
Then it gets used all over and becomes the, for now, "correct" term

The use of addons is another discussion

Technically you should be asking for "high dps" chars and then it's accurate.

Gotta say I like DD's, I just prefer real life ones though.

Stop trying to make 'Fetch' happen, Gretchen.

It's an interchangeable term.

Thats my point. DD is the more logic way of describing what you are searching and it has been used longer.
We dont have to forget people have brainwashed memories of what happened 20 years ago.
Some think it was that way but actually it might been different. Ever watched "12 angry man" and you know what I mean.

No its not becoming "correct" in terms of language but in terms of habbit and popularity.
Those are two different things for me. Just because everyone starts stealing doesnt mean that stealing one of a sudden becomes a legal activity, does it?

You dont describe a Tank with his metrics, you call him tank, same goes with Healer. Thats wher dps breaks this rule and doesnt mean what it should.
Its def a regional popularity thing.


I played BDO and on channel 4 which is called Balenos, you AREN'T allowed to ask ANY QUESTIONS.
Ask any questions there and everybody will reply: "No questions on Balenos!".
This has kept its way for many years, even when nobody who initially started with that joke is there anymore. People adapted it, not asking, does it even make sense?
If your sentence will end with an ? you will get that answer, even when people know how to help you.

I remember many years after reccount where guilds still didnt want to use an addons to determine how they should play a game. It became a thing but it took several years until min/maxers took over and now determine that everyone has to use it.

*beware my personal opinion*
Yes, I secretly believe that many people are only fooled by their memory and only believe that they used dps back then just because they are used to it now soooo much and have NEVER thought about it.
I think it's more of a past WoW expression that people have adopted to who had no idea about games back then and now just parrot everything as they were once told. I call them "normies"
I played on many english speaking or US servers and still always used DD. But I guess we have to believe them when they say they were using dps and nothing else.
It couldn't be that they just think it is that way because they are soooo used to using dps NOW that they think themself, it had to be that way since ever. Or could it be that way?
Anyway, everyone is free to use either. Both things help you find what you want.
One is referring to that you are looking for a "thing" the other one is that you are referring to a "person" imho.
