We're missing out the all important "Where I am!" To be honest, I'm cool with either. Hell, even if they say left or right, I'll know what they're on about since it's your left/right when you leave the speeders. At the end of the day, it's better than no-one saying anything. I personally use east and west. I noticed the compass long before I noticed the snow and grass. Although I can imagine the hilarity if someone suddenly blurted out "Incoming at snow!" in Voidstar.

If you only have 2 nodes, and you're the only one guarding a node and they know you're guarding. People should know where help implies. If I see someone yell help, I know exactly what they mean. It usually means there's 4+ people too.

East/West however remain constant and logical. Might as well use "stairs" and "railings". After all, both of those can be found at those locations as well. Unlike the proverbial cat Snow is always east and Grass is always west, there is nothing arbitrary about it. Again, you're arguing to be argumentative. Still, I don't expect you to stop arguing because admiting I know what I am talking about takes true strength of character and is actually much harder than just continuing to argue. Still, I have to ask, if you can't know it because you can't see it through walls then do you need to have a compass by your computer when you play? On the same note do you have to look out of a window or open the door to know in which direction the street is outside of your domicile?

Saying snow and having some teammates think "snow is east" adds a completely unnecessary moment of thought when you could have just said east to begin with. As for people who call left/right, I pretend they don't exist because acknowledging their existence makes me lose what little hope I still have for humanity. At least the snow/grass guys show an element of logic (albeit poorly executed.)

Your mini-map is always oriented so north is up, south is down, east is right, and west is left. This never changes. You're running around the middle node kiting/chasing someone who is kiting, getting disoriented in the process. Someone calls "snow": oh crap, which way is that? Someone calls "east" instead: you just glance at your mini-map and start moving towards the right side of it. East and West are constants, so please, use them. in b4 "Snow/Grass doesn't change": what about when Civil War becomes same faction in 1.3? What about Voidstar and Novare Coast, where east and west have no identifying features like snow and grass? There is no debate, really. "East/West" is by far the easiest way to orient yourself. The people who are used to calling "snow/grass" shouldn't have a problem calling "east/west" because they have to do it for the other maps. -Hedley Melange <Dynamic>, The Shadowlands- I never call it Grass or Snow I find it retarded for the reasons you listed above. Some people are just slow or just want to sound cool calling it grass/snow, East/West is much better because the mini map is fixed north, calling it grass/snow sounds like a bunch of 7 year old playing that have not learned directions yet. What's next?, North=clouds, South=dirt lol. Also both east and west are four letter words vs grass/snow making east/west one letter shorter for faster typing on the fly.

rofl Grass and snow... I'm happy to be on republic side. Best way to know someone rerolled from imp : Grass and snow. West/east is the best way to indicate an inc. It's universal and anyone above 13 should understand that. (Tells a lot about imperial side average age)
