Why is this still being discussed, seriously? Maps have had direction related to magnetic compass bearings for hundreds of years because they are absolutes in the exact same way that it works for the map for both teams in SWTOR.

You silly yanks and your foolhardy logic, its amazing soemtiems when I see more evidence of how americas culture has distorted a large majority of the populations common sense and turned it into a mass consumeristic orgy of having to have technical terms and names for EVERYTHING a la product marketing.

It SO amusing to anyone with half a brain, however, that this really is still ongoing.

We don't use west and east because its subjective to where you are on the map.

Snow is always snowy, grass is always grassy.

Anyone ever been in the ship when it exploded? good times.
At least someone gets it. Sort of. East and west arent subjective. But a lot of ppl suck with directions. Grass snow wins.

Yes ive blown up in the ship epic

Works fine for the Reps, just sucks for the Imps.

Snow/Grass is intuitive and self-explanatory. I see little to no downsides.

this is true if you are going for accuracy, but for snap decisions/directions east/west is not intuitive for a lot of people. This is why GPS uses left/right when telling people which way to turn.

now some people, like my father, know at all times what direction they are facing, or can easily tell in a fraction of a second. i am not one of those people, nor are many people. i have a horrid sense of direction and utilize instead landmarks and mile markers to find my way. i never got lost in a BG in wow because they use easily identifiable landmarks.

course in void there are no landmarks, so that is a problem.

Do your GPS devices say "Go 1.1 miles, then turn East"?

Do you raise your north hand to ask a question?
