Diablo – learn the jargon of the Diablo 3 community

diablo-3terminology

I have played Diablo 3 a few times. Always just "offline" with my own heros. Recently I started again and noticed (again actually) those messages from other users.

Alas, the flawed English in use isn't the only problem, but also the jargon that seems to be used.

For example:

  • "lf t16 bounties"
  • "lfm"

But there are more, it's just that the chat history doesn't go back quite that far. For example I think that "dh" in one message referred to "demon hunter", but I cannot be certain.

Anyway, my question is where I can learn about this sort of jargon (or acronyms?) in order to participate with the online community as well.

The Diablo wiki contains a page dedicated to terms and acronyms of Diablo III. The page can be viewed here.

An uber list of abbreviations, acronyms, and other terms specifically related to Diablo III. To streamline it, this list has been purged of general online chat acronyms and terms. Those can be found in the Diablo 2 version of this list elsewhere in this wiki.

Most of the key terms on this page are linked to articles that explain them in greater detail.

See the Diablo Glossary for a concise list of common Diablo 3 game terms/concepts, with links to full pages of info.
