People use obscure abbreviations all the time on these boards, gotta do research.

it might be obscure to people who play farmville, not an FPS though.

Any FPS player should know.

Come on guys,

while the OP could definitely have searched on the forum/google/internet... There is no point to make them feel even more awkward for asking a legitimate question.
:)

Maybe he is a teen, maybe PS-Universe is the first FPS forum he actively participates in, maybe he did try to search but with no success, etc...

Sky, I'm actually surprised you did not start the troll machine and explain FPS.
:D

nobody ever feels the need to explain what it means

As the others mentionned, it's because most of us already know about its meaning and maybe just no one asked. IMO, you could always send a PM or ask in the thread where you see the abbreviation being used so that people can help you better.

I see it everywhere but nobody ever feels the need to explain what it means

I see you wearing red and black in the future.

Hai OP, ignore above snobery... siriously

I saw this and decided to have a little fun ... I asked in a room of 15 people who do this for a living if they knew the abriviation TTK ...

....6/15

As a metric its much to simplified and is intended for use as an abstract idea, to ballance diffrences in damage resistances between diffrent life types.

Try to play nice folks =)

I wonder if it is a figure of speech.

Even though the first reply in this thread completely answered the question, I want to post too.

Personally I googled TTK when I didn't know what it meant.

One of the reasons i like these boards is because everyone is nice to each other, and there isn't any trolling and flaming. At least no where near as much as other places.

Can we please keep that? Half the replies in this thread really didn't need to be worded the way they were.

Someone asked a polite question, lets give him and polite reply and not act like cunts.

OT: As has been mentioned, TTK is the time it takes to kill a certain player with a gun assuming all the bullets hit. The TTK is PS1 was pretty long, where as in Couter Strike its pretty much the blink of an eye.

Oh really because I've been killing kids online for more than 10 years and I never knew what it meant until muppets like you started whining about it on these forums. Guess I never came to an FPS forum before because I was too busy playing the game.

When people say things like this, I have to wonder if they realize it's themselves who come off looking worse.

Don't worry, OP, I didn't know what this meant myself until recently, and I am an avid gamer and forum junky.

People need to realize that having knowledge another person lacks does not give them the right to be snobby. You didn't know it either at some point, and then someone told you...

No, no one told me. I looked it up. I think that's why he's getting so much flak for this. There's really no excuse for asking that kind of question anymore. In a real-time conversation or in a game you can't alt-tab out of perhaps, but on a message board? No. It's just a waste of time for all involved.

Even though you'll never see a lack of useless posts. Even this one is. I'm actually kind of surprised this thread is still going. OP asked a question and Sirisian answered.

That was all that was needed.

A thread where somebody loves me can't be bad at all. Thus you're a troll! Sorry, but that's all logic, not my fault... :D

whooaa, bragging about online gaming for over 10 years on a Planetside forum...the average age here would have to be from 25-30. meaning we've all probably been online gaming for alittle over 10 years :P

Well when it comes to that, rope has longer TTK, compared to a gun... But I prefer knife, it has good DoT when cutting hand.

The Planetside community is friendly and helpful. Not at all like other gaming communities which are full to the brim of douchebags.

Sorry OP, all the dicks in here thought they were better than this. Reality is hard.

The OP shouldn't feel bad about having asked a question. The ensuing posts were his baptism of fire.
:cool:

More on topic, he should choose VS. The other empires just /wrist or /fail whereas VS have brought /respawn tech to Auraxis !

This exactly.

Come on guys. Don't be asshats to people asking simple questions. Some of the responses in this thread are a disgrace to the community.

We are better than this.
