"INC LEFT" That is not a good way to call INCs

Or again just use East/West which are universally understood and self-explanatory for anyone that is out of elementary school. I just don't understand why people are still arguing against this point.

/facepalm. Compass directions are viable anywhere in life (as well as any swtor map). Open your map... top is north, left is west, right is east, bottom is south. Here is the kicker... this is true for every map! Tough concept to grasp for people I know. It seems there is a group of people that would rather make up their own directions based on spawn positions and somehow think that's easier.

I'll just continue to ignore people that say "Inc Left/Right". Chances are they don't know what they are doing in pvp anyway.

Actually come to think of it I don't recall seeing a compass rose or anything on any of the maps to indicate map orientation. We just assume that the map is north facing (Top is north) but in reality that could be south. Infact north and south are relative positions as well as they relate to a Magnetic poll location on the planet. They are certainly LESS relative then left/right but they are still relative. For all we know the polls are reversed on Alderaan and since Voidstar is technically a ship it has no polls. Thus we should probably use the terms Port and Starboard on voidstar. Of course in order to determine the correct direction there we would also need to know which is the Bow and Stern.

It means that when you are coming out of your spawn point. But people under the spawn point (still fighting) can, and has, interpreted that differently.

The fact that this post exists with so many different views, is evidence that there are varying opinions on how people view these things.

I would like to see someone pull out a compass on the Voidstar and try to find out West vs East. Good luck with that... Let me know if you ever figure out why it doesnt work.

directions in relation to your alignment after you respawn isnt that confusing

I honestly do not understand the people that say that east and west are in any way less clear than left/right.


Methinks they are just trolling

Moving left is easier than moving west.. taking that damn speeder on Civil war, twisting me around and everything really ****s with my orientation. It's easier to just run left when the speeder lands, instead of looking at my map and determining which way is west and east.
