Search for the abbreviation and it'll either redirect you to the right thing (like DFB -> Death from Below) or it'll give you a definition page.

I'm not aware of any lists, but I would guess that most are related to newer content. You could always flip through the recent Issues and what was in them, or just ask each time. At least the channels I'm on, its rare for someone to get blasted for asking a question like that. I will say that thinking about for a moment, there are a bunch of newer ones used regularly. :P
Don't I know you???
*double post* :P
Don't I know you???

Yeah, I have always found the CoH community to be awesome, so I am sure I wouldn't get blasted for asking. I was just curious |

In fact, there is one. Paragonwiki has a definitions page that includes a boatload of acronyms.|

I was looking at that page recently after I gave the link to someone in game and I noticed that a couple of fundamental abbreviations are missing. "AT" is the only one I can recall again. I'm blanking on what else I thought of.|

Missing = EAT, VEAT, SHOE

Sounds like you should go in and Edit that page and add the abbreviations you are missing.|

If the game spit out 20 dollar bills people would complain that they weren't sequentially numbered. If they were sequentially numbered people would complain that they weren't random enough.
Black Pebble is my new hero.
Also, if you go to paragonwiki and type an acronym in the search box, it will often redirect to whatever that acronym stands for.

All of these abbreviations and many others are missing from the Definitions Category because they are actually redirect pages, meaning that if you type, say, "AT" into the search bar and hit Enter or click Go, it will redirect you to the Archetypes page.

@Draeth Darkstar
Virtue [Heroes, Roleplay], Freedom [Villains], Exalted [All Sides, Roleplay]
Code:
I24 Proc Chance = (Enhanced Recharge + Activation Time) * (Current PPM * 1.25) / 60*(1 + .75*(.15*Radius - 0.011*Radius*(360-Arc)/30)) Single Target Radius = 0. AoE Non-Cone Arc = 360.

I've seen it only rarely, usually as a tongue-in-cheek/silly reference to SHOs.

Deadly Doc 50 Dark/Dark Corr

Been away from City of for like a year, and came back to see the chat channels are full of abbreviations I don't know at all. I am never sure what people are inviting me to do. Any help?
