Please add these to the compass in addition to North.
My brain is mush in the middle of a firefight and having to stop and stare at the minimap and remember that west is to the left and east the right, after I've found where north is hiding....can we just have all four directions marked for simplicities sake?

Just do what I do.
Always look North and draw the other letters on your screen with a marker.

I agree.
I'd also like to see the map screen always orientated with N up.
That'd mean either rotating the maps or always having N in the same direction.
Either is fine with me. |

i'd add the diagonals as well, nw, ne,sw,se.
wouldn't mind a small notch between that as well, then my squad could be like "the sniper is 1 tick north of nw" though if all squad members had a way of target painting/pointing this wouldn't be required. |

That could help, but it would probably get too cluttered. I'd say just add the notch for for the diagonals without labeling them. So you would have big notches labeled for N, E, S, W and then little unmarked notches for NW, NE, SW, SE

Yeah, I'll second this. Being able to quickly see and call out bearings is more essential in this game than some others.

honestly if i'm in a proto and there is all four directions on the minimap, it doesn't even matter, as soon as i check it i'm already dead.

Mr. Monkey Wrench, eh?! Without a magnetic field, I guess the next thing you'd defer to is a rotational axis to determine headings.

Alright...take a gander at determining compass headings for this place, Mr. Navigator.

Compass is probably keyed to the planets geodetic north, which is the north geographic pole and not the magnetic north.
Geodetic poles are determined by the axis of rotation and not the magnetic field of the planet.
My 2 cents... at least a big "N" and smaller e, s, w. Keep the rotation of the map so I know "up" on the map is the way i'm looking. |

Definitely!
N, E, S, W should be there in every case, but we should have the option to lock the rotation on the compass as well (with N up of course). |

Don't see the need for a compass what so ever., Look for the letter at the edge of the screen and point your stick at it lol.

Go to battle finder and look at the top and bottom of your screen - see those curves? The ones with notches?
Don't they just beg to be made into a compass? |

We want CCP to listen to stuff like this tho.
Knowing our luck CCP would read this and go "change compass?... OK! Swarm launchers only fire north."  |

I think adding E,S,W to the compass would make it considerably harder to read quickly. It's much easier to figure out which way is north when there's just one letter, it's just a quick glance and you're oriented without having to read anything. Adding the other directions doesn't give you any extra information, but clutters the HUD and makes you have to actually read the letters to figure out which direction you're facing. |

As soon as you play a five objective map, you will see why this is going to be a bad idea.
There's already too much going on in that corner of the screen, and when you have to distinguish between E for East and E for Null Cannon E, well...good luck.

I don't see how that would ever be an issue, the letters are off to the side a bit and clearly not part of the minimap themselves....
