It's East/West. . .NOT Left/Right. . .NOT Grass/Snow

This man gets it

umm. its obvious no matter what you say. East/west works. Left/Right (out of the gate OBVIOUSLY) works just as well. everyone should know what your talking about by now.

even my premade, in voice chat, refuse to use east/west....i find it incredibly annoying as "left" and "right" change depending on the direction you're looking at. East and West are something you learn as children, is it really that hard to use them?

I don't understand =(

It's always FROM THE SPAWN.

Left from the spawn
Right from the spawn

In Voidstar on defense, you exit the spawn room and turn left or right.

In Alderaan on Imperial side, you take the left or right speeder, or you go left or right after landing from the middle speeder.

This is not a difficult concept. Even children know their left from their right.

It remains Left/Right for me. Eff East/West.

It's amazing to me that you people still don't understand the reasons why east/west is better.

It's better because you never know who the person calling out the inc is and whether or not they're a mouthbreather. Because of that, there's no way to be certain if they're calling left/right based on the same point of reference as you all understand it.

Also, you call east/west because if you're in the middle and got spun around a few times while fighting, maybe you can't immediately figure out which direction is your spawn point, since both look exactly the same. Since the middle turret in Alderaan is enclosed, you can't tell where grass/snow is, either.

The best and fastest way to tell is to hear "EAST," look at the minimap, spin your character around so he's facing to the east on the minimap, and then run that way. No point of reference necessary.

This is going to be awesome when they put in the same-faction Alderaan Civil War that they hinted at. I can't wait to see half the Imperial teams running the wrong direction because they're used to everything being backwards since they don't know their directions.

Perhaps you could explain. I like learning.

In voidstar, you do 2 rounds, one starting from the north of the first room, one from the south.

So by your definition, for half the match east is left, the other half west is left.....yay for using conflicting location definitions!

As an imp, in civil war, left on the minimap is what most ******* call right, and right on the minimap is called left? how dumb....how very very dumb

Learn the compass and start using non-conflicting terms for locations so as to AVOID CONFUSION! Not for your own benefit, but for your team. This game takes communication and coordination, so it's only intelligent to be as clear and concise as possible when asking for something. Seeing as how many people get annoyed or confused about the ambiguous nature of left and right, it's good TEAM PLAY to use BETTER terms.

Stop being selfish by trying to justify being lazy

AMEN!

It's EAST and freaking WEST. Look at your map and learn your directions people!

republic always uses left/right because its the same on the map and in the world.
