I lost two matches just yesterday because people didn't know which way east or west was. Does it happen with left and right too? Sure, but the problem there doesn't lie with how you called it out, it lies with the idiot who called it out incorrectly.

IMHO the map should flip in voidstar to be relative to your position in the respawn area just like it does in Aldaran. This is the BW fail if you ask me. Huttball, left = left on the map. Alrdaran, left = left on the map. Voidstar, left = right on the map. FLIP the map BW.

You all just assume that the map is orientated to have the top portion be North.

Calling East/West is one less letter to type half of the time than Left/Right. That. Just. Happened.

FLIP the map BW. no this is not a problem with east or west the fact that people argue that east and west are the same as left and right and equally clear makes me want to post the meme of professor farnsworth not wanting to live on this planet anymore

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. If you cant understand how to label objectives for easy communication you should DELETE.... Ive never been in a serious PVP community (either MMOs or FPS') that didn't have labels and terms for any important feature in a map. If you cant learn them, you aren't cut out for it. Yeah cardinal directions are an essential skill, but its MUCH more efficient to have labels and landmarks, color coordination are even easier. That's why any military planning has color codes and numerical/alphabetical labels for objectives. ("OMAHA")

Some of the posts in this thread make me wonder what they are teaching kids in schools these days. Always use N-S-E-W.

Like I said, my server primarily uses left and right but will also use east and west. The only problem is when people say left referring to the map's left, which there is actually no left on a map. It's common knowledge on my server that left is always your relative orientation to when you spawn.
