I just realized that a good number of Imperial players go by the indication icons on the top right to determine which point is LEFT and RIGHT in this warzone.

 

Personally I thought the directions were relative to the ship we launched from. Apparently this is not the case, which resulted in some confusion in some matches.

 

On the Republic side this isn't an issue, as left is left and right is right on the panel, relative to their launching ship.

 

What do you think? Should Imperials get properly aligned indication icons?

They should, like republic, just use east and west, because the same problem exists for both factions on other maps and it doesn't really make sense to label everything differently for every single map.

i dont understand how hard it is to learn your left from your right. if someone says right turret then turn right out of your spawn, its an easy concept. i feel like the majority of the people here dont have a drivers license and were probably picked last for sports teams

 

on a related note, what possessed BW to flip the maps backwards? does this serve some special purpose that none of us can figure out?

Use east/west and problem solved.

East? West? What am I, Magellan? Do I have a compass? Should I get out the sextant? Do I look like a ship captain?

 

I kid, I kid...

Do you know whats funny ? most people here probably have no idea who Magellan was, until they google it

+1

 

Anyway, I usually use left/right at the start before the game when it is clear everyone is looking the same way. When the match is underway I always use east/west.

Another easy concept and impossible to confuse is calling it grass and snow sides, ones got snow on the ground the other is grass.

No it's not

 

The more situationally aware players aren't even looking at their toon as they run out of spawn, they're looking at the map to figure out what the other guys are doing, so left/right naturally has an entirely different meaning to them.

 

(also they use the bloody fast speeders and don't even arrive at the same point as you think everybody does)

This is what I use as well. No mix up at all that way.

Nope. Quite the opposite - most people here are intellectual snobs who think they are top 1% while being average Internet users in reality.

 

Meanwhile as imp I use "left-right" dire... Oh, I've forgot - I stopped to play warzones long ago after two weeks of bag-o-duplicates and bugs in "win 3 warzones" daily.

left / right when u land

if u look on map ull get confused so ull have to use east / west

Genny (east) Landing (west) i find right/left and east/west confuse people. So at the start of the match i explain. Genny is the EAST turret landing is the WEST.

if u look on map ull get confused

 

That's the main problem anyway. People who get confused when they look at a map.

I believe a lot of people do not get the issue the OP is trying to make.

 

the map shows the turrets being on Left/Right or West/East however you want to say it.

 

But when you launch from your ship, the turret LEFT on your map, is actualy RIGHT and vise versa.

 

Using east/west will not solve this issue as it still depends on wether players orient themselfs by MAP or by the ship they come from.

and i've had quite some trouble explaining some groups WHERE they need to help resulting in losing a turret.

if you orientate from the map, east will be east and west will be west, how hard is it?

For me it is from spawn, left or right, going to right turret and running left feels a bit weird

 

I think they should add numbers to the turret, 1,2,3 or flip the map since we will never be able to agree on if left is left.

West and East approach is too hard ? You know, the minimap is static...

 

EAST = RIGHT on minimap

WEST = LEFT on minimap

 

How hard is to grasp that?

Edited February 3, 2012 by Dalnar

This sometimes happens in voidstar too as defender with ignorant people on the team. Left/right can only logically refer to position from spawn. Maps don't have lefts and rights, only east/west. People are just morons. Edited February 3, 2012 by vrok-

I have had the same problem.

But the best is to use east/west from the map.

 

You might be standing at mid defending, then someoune yells :"help left". then i would look at my map and asume he meant west.

 

The best way to help this confusion, would be to color the turrets, green, yellow and red. that would make it very easy to communicate and understand.

 

Though it would suck to be colorblind...

I did notice that today have had my minimap zoomed in to much to see it before. I think i will start using east/west now. But still a number on the turrets would have been nice since ppl will always be confused.

If you need help at the LEFT base then people that spawn should use the LEFT speeder to get there as fast as possible.

 

If you need help at the RIGHT base then people that spawn should use the speeder to the RIGHT to get there as fast as possible.

 

It's not rocked sience...

 

 

If LEFT speeder take you to the WEST or the EAST base depends, of course, on if your ship is located to the SOUTH or NORTH on the map. Doesn't matter though. "Help L" = use the LEFT speeder when you spawn, not the center one. Shrug.

I'm colorblind so i will stick with my idea of nameing them 1, 2 and 3 or not use green and red together. blue yellow and red would work for colorblind also.
