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

I love this thread. The fact that we have to argue this goes to show how casual the PvP population is in TOR. Real PvPers are competitive, and miscalling a direction will lose you the fight. When rated WZ's come out there will be absolutely no room for error if you want to do well. That is, of course, assuming there will be any PvP guilds still around for that patch.

If you can't understand cardinal directions you need to DELETE.

Thank you to the OP for posting this, b/c I often have to educate people in game, including guildies in our 'elitist pvp' guild.

except that you never know when THAT GUY that said left meant left out of spawn. so hey... you move left and it turns out he meant left on the map because (like idiots in this thread) left could be places on the map or directions out of the spawn. turns out you ran into a place that was fine and you lost that place because children are too dumb to use proper directions


you always know which way is east or west, at least if you have elementary school education

exactly. it seems like something that should be so obvious... and yet constantly isn't

This thread makes me cry.

The problem with calling east or west is people don't know geography.

Seeing as how everyone on my server calls it left and right, No I don't (if you want to be even more technical, that map doesn't even tell you which way is east or west). If you tell me INC LEFT I will always know what you mean no matter where I am on the map or what direction I'm facing.

I'm not saying incoming germany

it's east or *********** west. it's no harder than left or right, but infinitely more clear

Very well. Grass is west. Snow is east.

I figured it was generally acknowledged LEFT and RIGHT are in relation to the map....how is that a hard concept? If you cant grasp such an easy thing, PvP is not the place for you, sorry.

Look at it as LEFT is its label, the west node, it is just the label. If you want to be nit picky then thats your own fault, make up another excuse as to why you didn't go help. "I was confused!" is pretty weak. You could label it anything....RED node, node ONE, LEFT, WEST. If you don't understand the concept its not others faults. Left is generally what it is called. MMOs and gaming in general has the community giving lables to things, "THE GREEN HALLWAY" or such in a FPS, or "BIG HANGAR", you get the idea. Again, its a label, learn them or fail, its on you.

Voidstar:

- 'Left' can mean facing out of the spawn.
- 'Left' can mean facing towards the spawn.
- 'Left' can mean left on the map, if you are especially handicapped.

I have seen people use all three.

- 'West' can mean only one thing.

Common sense is your compass rose.
