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

Guy 1 - "What do you do for a living?"

Guy 2 - "Oh I try and get complete strangers to organize and work together"

Guy 1 - "Why the **** would you waste your time doing that?!"

The best way to fix this is to que with friends. The best way to make friends is to not be socially handicapped. The best way to not be socially handicapped is to cancel your twitter account and stop texting as a primary form of communication. Throw some grammar in there and maybe, just maybe, you could be talking via spoken words with others in no time at all.

You are right though the main map works and can be used consistently with training.

Although it will eventually break down to a visual queue rather looking at the map.

people will say west is the nose of the drop ship.

east is left of spawn.

So they dont have to look at the map to figure out where they are.

Actually it is the issue being discussed. It's obvious that people have different ways of calling directions in WZs and it is causing issues as these people are interpreting these "directions" differently. The goal should be to use the most commonsense and universal terms that will correctly state a direction.

The debate is whether left/right, or east/west achieves this. I stand by the statement that N/S/E/W covers these concerns universally no matter what map you are on and without any question of where these directions are on a map. This of course requires a person to know how to tie their shoe.

It's apparent that we will never come to an agreement on this so the bickering and QQing will continue both here and in-game. Such is life in an MMO.

Sorry, but certain terms come into existence when they get picked up by a large group of people. Why? Because they're the easiest way to indicate where to go from the spawn point, or they indicate each turret on the scoreboard of Alderaan.

New players might have some trouble with orientation for a short time, but people trying to put their own name on things just confuse everyone.

I like to use "Stage Right" and "Stage Left" so I don't get confused when calling out my own directions.

lol some people won't know what that means either :-P

The ONLY reason to pull up the big map is to get extra resolution to see how many people are defending a node. Everything else can be done w/ the mini-map zoomed out.

I agree calling east and west is better than left and right.

Explain. My minimap wont show left or right guns from mid.

I agree. Go left from the rez point is much easier that go east (Which is to the left, not right as is typical on maps with north facing to the top of the screen).
I'd rather someone say "go left" than "go east"
