not this thread again :-)

we could use west/east if we knew where north or south is, which we DO NOT KNOW but only assume so based on how the minimap is oriented

this being a game and not a real life - i'm perfectly fine with this flawed assumption.



however the snow/grass is what really bothers me.

why? because people are inventing some names when the real names are already in the game!


WEST is "CRASH SITE", CENTER/MIDDLE is "COMMAND CENTER" and EAST is "GENERATOR"


---

i'm also fine with left/right for republic on alderaan as left speeder = left turret on the map = left turret icon = left turning point from the spawn... i don't play imperial so i don't care for them, actually i enjoy their confusion :P)

but i'm not fine with left/right on voidstar. in alderaan your left is left for the whole warzone, but in voidstar your left gate in attacking phase is different than the left gate in defending phase

I have never once seen someone call out Grass or Snow on Ajunta Pall.

Doesn't bother me however it gets called out, and I tend to use whatever terminology has already been used to minimize confusion. If I'm the first one to call out, I use East/West.
Everyone has their preference. Suggesting that because some players prefer not to use East and West makes them less intelligent is harsh and inaccurate.

Most of us are sticking to 1 side to lvl up to 50 but sooner or later we will change from imps to republic or the other way around and i can tell you, checking your map and thinking which side is snow/grass takes a good 5-10 seconds and half the experience playing playing this game will just leave the map and it will just be the noobs left!

Trust me, i do my daily WZ on both imps/republic and its so annoying cause pvp is all about the split second! Calling snow/grass will cost a good 5-10 seconds to ppl that play both sides and cause they play both sides they are more experienced!

Can we learn our left & right or I'm I just asking for 2 much cause for some stupid reason i do many ppl in reality unable to tell the difference and it's really not that hard or is it???
Are you joking right now? You can't figure out snow or grass? Wow...just wow...

I always use east/west in relation to the minimap. Everyone should know how to read a compass. So far it works beautifully once I've been on the same team as some of the other people queuing for a map or two.

Which server users grass/snow to call out for incomings? I've played on 2 servers so far and both just use left/right or east/west. . .then again both of these were on the Republic side, maybe it's different for the imps since they're looking at the map from the other directions(so maybe it's easier for them).

I don't even know off hand what side is grass and which is snow. seriously... if you can't figure out your east and west. Or North and East for that one section of voidstar, then you need to go back to 3rd grade. i always use east/west. There is no confusion. especially when some people say right or left, regarding minimap and others use left and right from their point of view. There is only one east and west. learn it.

Someone on your team on the ground in the middle facing your ship, goes to the left... which is snow side. So no, right is not right and left is not left in that situation.
Uh I think most people base it on the UI piece that shows who owns what. Who cares which way you're facing. If the node that causes the left side of the indicator to change colors is under attack you call left. It always means the same thing.
