I couldn't have said it better myself.

@ OP - How can you tell if you're on the grass or snow by looking at your map?

lift your right hand.... i bet u left your right hand straight away... now for the next day, every couple hours tell yourself to lift your right hand but lift your left instead.... how long did it take u to lift your left instead of right, was it more than a split second which is what u need in pvp?!?!?
Left is left for the imps. Left is left for the reps. Yes, it would be different sides, but left is always left, right is always right. When you land left is always on your left.

If it is taking you 5 seconds to figure out which side is snowy and which is grassy, you have much bigger problems in life. I mean, I can picture them in my head right now, and I'm not even in the game.

East/West on the minimap differs from east/west on the main map for Imperials. Grass side is always grassy, snow side is always snowy.

And let some how you can't just call out "Left/Rigth" or "East/West"? I mean I have to know which side is left or right to establish which is grass or snow...

This assumption is what leads to the confusion.

Because the "standard map orientation" implies to SOME players that forward is north. Well, it's not. It's only north according to Rep side. Imperials start off facing "south" according to your standard. That's not an intuitive thing for a lot of people, and frankly most people aren't watching their map as much as they are the field of play.

I think naming the locations would be the real fix.

Difference between minimap and standard map makes for much confusion when multiple people with different pov's are calling out directions. Snow/Grass are by far the best option for calling out nodes as they are always constant. Quit being terribles. YOU should know at all times whether grass or snow is left or right of you so this it takes 5 seconds to process is nonsense. If someone can't comprehend that then they shouldn't be pvping in the first place.

I'm sorry, but unless you have only played <5 matches or have no memory capacity at all, remembering which is snow and which is grass should be instinctive.

It's bad enough to argue over east/west v left/right, but the OP is terrible and its a joke this thread has do many posts.

Snow/mid/grass... Simple and easy, if it doesn't work for you then you likely need the map to find mid too.

Edit: and for the record... Left/right based off the spawn is most intuitive for maps without landmarks like alderaan.

This is why it's a problem.....People are stupid. North, South, East and West don't change EVER....doesn't matter where you are on the map.

The top of a map is North....I learned this in the 3rd grade.

It is subjective but this is because most people intuitively feel that when they're facing forward on the ship they're facing north. From the Imperial side, east is right and west is left, which is counter intuitive. This problem would be reduced by putting NSEW icons on the mini-map.

Either way, grass/snow is pretty gd easy. If someone says grass and you are standing in snow well...
