From a newbie to a veteran, understanding these words is the "pass"
Newbies who have just started playing games will go through a stage - I can’t understand what my teammates are saying?
Especially in games that require teamwork to complete tasks, communication between teammates is often very important. Although voice conversations can be achieved in games through various software, it is difficult to achieve smoothly in many cases. Of course, this is certainly not a problem for the majority of smart gamers.

Those abbreviations that newbies don't understand are the unique communication methods developed by players. Using a few short letters or numbers to conveniently express specific information has gradually become a consensus and a culture among the player community. The editor will give a few examples below to see if you can get these communication phrases in the game?
Number 1"
This is probably the most widely used "jargon". It was originally used to quickly recruit teams. Usually, players who initiate teams would shout: "Teaming up for XXX dungeon, deduct 1 if you come", which means recruiting teams. Those who want to participate can reply with the number 1 to make it easier to distinguish. The team leader will form a team based on the people who reply. Later, this usage became more and more popular and has become a consensus on the Internet. Replying with the number 1 means "I know" or "I agree".
GG
Derived from the English word "good game", it is often seen in competitive games. Generally, the losing party plays it first to praise the other party for "good game". It is a graceful way of admitting defeat. Usually the winner will also respond with a GG to show modesty. After reproduction and spread, GG has become a simplified word to refer to failure and end. It is also used to express something "screwed up, GG". There are also derived words with different meanings and usages such as "GGWP, GGEZ".
The AI in Overwatch's human-machine mode will also type "GG"
Chicken
I believe many people know that eating chicken does not refer to what to eat for dinner today, but comes from an English slang "Winner Winner Chicken Dinner!", which is translated from this sentence: "Good luck, eat chicken tonight". Due to the popularity of battle royale games in recent years, this term has also been promoted, and eating chicken has become a term to refer to victory. In addition to PUBG, there are also phrases such as "eco, nt, ez pz" in other types of shooting games that only players can understand.

++/==
A more vivid abbreviation, ++ usually means "add", and is used to express a request to teammates, such as asking a healer in an online game to add blood, or asking other players to add friends, etc. == is even simpler, just "etc." in text. Compared with typing, it is much easier to press the keyboard twice, and it is also very easy to understand.
AFK
The term first appeared in the online game World of Warcraft, meaning to temporarily leave the game. It is also often used to indicate the idle state. The term originated from the English "away from keyboard", which literally means to leave the keyboard. After the evolution and spread of time, AFK has evolved from temporarily leaving the game to mean not playing the game for a long time or permanently. MMORPG has also been the birthplace of various online buzzwords.

In addition to the content mentioned above, in fact, there are more unique and interesting "special terms" in various different games. These game abbreviations derived in the early days have become a consensus among players and have been used until now, and have even developed into a kind of online culture.
However Having said so much, these creative ways of communication among players are actually all for the purpose of ensuring the gaming experience.

From the beginning to the end, how to make the game more "fun" is the core demand of players. Being able to communicate with teammates is important, but if you want to make the game more "fun", you must not let down in other aspects, such as: technology
Of course, whether you have the skills or not, you still need a computer that can support you to play games. With the upgrade of hardware technology, players have more and more choices in computers. You don't have to stick to desktop computers. The increasingly powerful 9th generation Core gaming laptops are comparable to desktop computers, allowing players to easily play games anytime, anywhere. The last Core i7 was born for games, and you can play however you want.
It is not an exaggeration to say that it is available anytime and anywhere. First of all, the performance is unmatched among mobile products. Compared with the enthusiast-level computers three years ago (i7-9750H vs. i7-6700HQ), the laptop equipped with the ninth-generation Core i7 mobile processor can increase the FPS of games such as "Total War: Warhammer II" by 56% (Note 1). The level loading completion time in games such as "Civilization 6" is increased by up to 38% (Note 2). At the same time, it is supported by Intel TVB and IDT black technology, which can intelligently optimize the balance between temperature and speed and continuously optimize computer performance. Secondly, it supports the new generation of Wi-Fi 6 (Gig+)! Bring you high speed, low latency and more stable network connection, giving you a gaming experience without disconnection.
Games are changing, but players' pursuit of gaming experience has not changed. The continuous improvement of notebook performance can also provide players with more flexible choices, making gaming more enjoyable!
