East/West or Right/Left?

I've found myself using both, left/right and east/west depending on what the rest of the ops is using just to keep everything standard for that match and just to keep everyone oriented the same, I'll shout out what left/right are based on our spawn point at the beginning of the match, not sure if it helps but haven't had it start any arguments either.

"Left is west, right is east"

I'm totally doing this tonight

Alderan - left /right

Voidstar - also left and right
You often have to see which one is West or East on Voidstar, while everyone knows which is right or left as they come out of their spawn point. No confusions, I literally met no people that found it less comfortable than west/east.

Think of it like a bonus quest

This is fine, but on the map if north is at the top (which BTW, there's NO indication that it is...for all we know left is NNW and right is SSE) then left is east and right is west. For defense anyhow.

Yep, just meant it as an example of what i put in the ops channel, i'll switch it up if our spawn point is on the north side of the map.

I understand people calling it left/right in aderan at the start but after that it always feels abit silly considering they have names and colours to define them... must not be clear enough for some people...

u ppl are dumb

The reason people used lumber mill, gold mine, blacksmith, etc. in WoW was because each place was VERY visually distinctive AND had their own unique icons on the map.

The turrets in civil war look almost exactly the same, and the icons on map are the same. Using snow/grass is also moot since there is SNOW ON GRASS SIDE. Not to mention it adds an extra layer of information that no one needs.

Using left and right is never a good idea since they're subjective. The cardinal directions are not.

Oh btw, the doors in voidstar are labeled east, west, north.

It seems on my server that the directions are looked at from where you start off. So in civil war, from the ship/primary landing pad.
