hotfuss Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 Remember that other game that did this? They did it for a reason. No more calling left when you mean right. No more east when they mean west. Do it, paint those doors. Inc "Red" "Blue" or "PInk" i dont care Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surgin Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 While you're at it... Remove the stupid starting video and speeder bike ride from the beginning and add a timer onto the spawn area door since it would just be nice to have an idea when they are going to open, instead of that circular second timer thing that tells you jack all.

Both are grand ideas. I can't count the number of times i've been stuck behind the screen thanks to talking to the vendor.

No more east when they mean west. Do it, paint those doors. Inc "Red" "Blue" or "PInk" i dont care Definitely agree with this. Far too many people calling left or right instead of East and West. Colours would make sence. Simple fix to help teams coordinate. Would also be nice to get rid of the Intro sequence & Bike ride.

Wickedly Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 Great idea. Paint the turrets while you're at it. Nobody seems to be able to grasp east and west. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surgin Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 Great idea. Paint the turrets while you're at it. Nobody seems to be able to grasp east and west. I am curious how many people realize that all three turrets in civil war are actually named, off the top of my head I can only remember that the one is the snow is the "Generator". If you hover above the turrets at the top right corner it tells ya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inseeisyou Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 If players can't tell which door is to the "left" and the "right" I'm not sure anything will help... they probably just aren't team playing and doing whatever they want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keninblack Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 It depends on the server you're on. On my server (Swiftsure) My team calls east and west. The pugs we have (some fail, some not) call left / right (the fails) and others call snow / grass (the not fails). It just depends on how you understand. If someone calls left / right, i take it from how the minimap looks. If i'm wrong, then l2call out cardinal directions and make life easier.

Kyus Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 some people who aren't getting the issue is that one person may call left from the mini map but those spawning are actually referencing the right hand door as the map orientation favors attackers.

Soazak Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 I like this idea. Sick of people that can't tell the difference between left and right, grass and snow, east and west. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remnic Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 Well there is an easy fix to this problem. If you have enough time to look at your chat, you could have looked at your Minimap instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustinxDuff Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 Or you can just use east and west. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hotfuss Posted February 15, 2012 Author Share Posted February 15, 2012 If you people want to live in ignorance and throw smart remarks like "look at ur map" "call it east west" feel free to. The reality though is that a lot of people confuse these things. I dont know why, and I dont care why. What I do know is that fixing this "issue" is probably the simplest thing in videogame history thats why I am suggesting it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
