left or right is always based of the map not anyones personal direction...


people use east/west or right /left and NO ONE gets confused on Veela server rep side...doesnt even matter if its void star every body knows where they are going..American and French Canadian...

I personally use East/West, but its not hard to memorize if Snow = East = Right, Grass = West = Left.
It's left or right from where you respawn. If they say "help left" YOU TAKE THE LEFT SPEEDER.

If you're on the ground and they say help left, you help on the side turret that your team controls. If you control both sides, fall down onto the ground because there's obviously no way you'll ever figure it out.

Aside from the fact that yet another of these threads is total fail... The OP needs to get a clue.

They are all effective, if you can't understand them all then that is your fail. I prefer left/right and grass/snow, but that's doesn't mean if someone calls west I can't figure it out. Just not.as intuitive since I don't know the map orientations, being that I never use it.

Just to let you now, the UI is in relation to your spawn.... think before you speak.

Additionally, I've discovered perhaps 2 or 3 people who acted the "it's left/right on the map!" way, compared to the other hundreds or so who understood left/right on Voidstar (because Republic doesn't have to deal with this idiocy on Alderaan).



You suggested using the names like "Generator" but then in the same breath admitted you can't remember what they are.

If someone said "Inc Generator" you'd open the map and waste time looking. Which is exactly the same thing you'd do if someone said "Inc East" and you had to check.

Thus your suggestion was immediately undermined by your own words, but you didn't seem to realize this. That's why it was funny.
Opening the map is quick and takes a second, finding out which perspective who is calling when after being turned around a lot takes finding points of reference, which takes longer.

Why do you act like opening the map is a waste of time when it's the single fastest option available?

East west left or right should always go off your map not your spawn.

At different spawn points in voidstar you are facing south and north from a map orientation, so at theses points if taken from a spawn point orientation at one point left is west at another left is east. This can be confusing, especially if players are using different ways of working out directions.

Use the map, it doesn't matter where you spawn west/left is always the same.

You do not need to open the map, your mini-map is always on show.

Bioware should learn from Arathi Basin and give each side more distinguishing characteristics. Grass/Snow works for Alderaan but Voidstar really should have the sides in each section highlighted a different color. Make one door red and the other blue and then keep it consistent through the map. Simple palate change would make the game that much more enjoyable, especially when playing with PuGs and without vent.
