FrozenFire 5 Report post Posted January 12, 2017 People started calling Deadmines DM during WotLK when Dire Maul became pretty much irrelevant. But anyone who played WoW through 2004-2007 will tell you, Deadmines was very commonly referred to as VC as to not confuse it with Dire Maul. If you want to confuse people by calling Deadmines DM, then by all means be my guest. But anyone who claims that it's not VC is wrong, and is just making it more confusing than it needs to be. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gotmilk0112 10 Report post Posted January 12, 2017 I just say "Deadmines" because I'm not in such a hurry that I need to type an abbreviation. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
horriblepancake 0 Report post Posted January 13, 2017 I think if you are in Westfall you can call it DM because you wouldn't be in Westfall talking about Dire Maul. If you're in a major city call it VC to avoid confusion. My take on it anyway. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
taladril 43 Report post Posted January 13, 2017 Undeniable proof: http://imgur.com/a/cO8Eh This is Atlas, one of the most used addons in vanilla. Every dungeon had its own "code" next to the name. Once dire maul showed up, deadmines forever and permanently became VC. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shedo 0 Report post Posted January 13, 2017 (edited) On Trollbane EU, Deadmines was always DM and Dire Maul became DiM. Besides u could easily distinguish them cus ppl always shouted DiM East or DiM West etc. Never even heard of VC.. and what does that even stand for? VanCleef?

Sharatar 1 Report post Posted January 13, 2017 Back In vanilla I remember being in Westfall always asking for DM boosts from my mates level 40 hunter. Never really heard it being called VC on Burning Blade EU. But then I think I saw VC sparingly maybe when I started playing again in 1.12.1 going through into burning crusade. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Falendar 0 Report post Posted January 13, 2017 from the start it's been DM, VC came later to distinguish from diremaul but there wasn't a huge need and it didn't take over the popularity of just calling it DM. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
flowqz 34 Report post Posted January 13, 2017 dire maul wasnt a thing with release. that vc thing maybe became popular later on certain servers? 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Always been VC and will always be VC. Or just Deadmines. But VC. not DM. Please also stop calling DPS as DD. These two statements are pure bullcrap. Never have you been more wrong. Upon releasing World of Warcraft, there was no Dire Maul. It is an later added dungeon, in early Vanilla. Through closed beta. Throught open beta. And obviously in the beginning of Vanilla - The Deadmines was called DM. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Is "Damage Dealer" incorrect english? It doesn't really make sense to call someone a "Damage per Second". 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

noob257 36 Report post Posted January 13, 2017 23 minutes ago, Henceforth said: DD meant Direct Damage on WoW. I know what Direct Damage is. I'm talking about damage dealer as a role. 25 minutes ago, Henceforth said: so nobody ever used DD for anything. It was always DPS. You need 4 tanks 10 healers and 26 dps. I know that it is common for english speaking WoW players (or maybe english speaking MMORPG players in general) to abbreviate "damage dealer" as "DPS", it just doesn't make any sense. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
noob257 36 Report post Posted January 13, 2017 Just now, Henceforth said: I bet it is only for WoW english community, but as far as I know all US realms always talked about DPS. Maybe in some other non-english communities in EU it is different. I guess you're right. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tank_(gaming) Quote Healer (gaming) is another common archetype focused on restoring the health of one's allies. Spell-caster (gaming) is another common archetype focused on dealing damage, but is relatively weak in all other regards. DPS is another common archetype also focused on dealing damage. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/MMORPG-Jargon#D Quote DD, Damage Dealer https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lexique_du_MMOG#D Quote DD Initiales de l'anglais damage dealer, « faiseur de dégâts ». https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glossario_MMORPG#D Quote DD nome – Abbreviazione di “Damage Dealer” 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
