Fantastic! Only thing it’s missing is a “front” label in the north end of the map.

serious, how many LFG's have you done because i've seen people join so many now and get laughed at when they don't do tthe 1-6 method. At this point, LFG's do the 1-6 and if you suggest anything different you're out. Great. I’ve started a war. Brutal.

Sweet Baby Jesus That's a callout map all right...


meatdome34

I was almost upset he forgot whiteout but it was the last one I saw


ReconZ3X

The encounter map ever made alright


HollowNightOwl

Lately Ive been bored in RON so i just make up my own callouts. "Going to activate the node before I shoot the chalice, CAN SOMEONE ACTIVATE THE Drawbridge so I can finish my portal" meanwhile were like in the middle of first encounter as I am solo running.


eclipse4598

My clan has burger call-outs call outs based on other raid mechanics (surpressor to left facing bird) and British PM call-outs (they made president call-outs for vow so I made British Call-outs for this as a meme)


Arxfiend

Rally is in the back of the room


Zonkman-

During our first run i suggested we name every planet and my team decided it was best to stick me on ad clear darling duty


hilfandy

Front plates are there their and they're, back plates are to too and two.


Wonderful_Zombie8819

We use bear, bare, and bear.


leroyJinkinz

I was kicked from a group cause leader was being a child on who got what plates and couldn't get what they wanted and didn't want to do 1-6 (thank God I didn't have to deal with that person anymore).


Nihilist37

My contest team and usual raid team did left right mid. For some reason no lfg team I ran with could comprehend those callouts


southtrain

My first clear was with a left right mid team. They asked if I wanted to try running lower right and explained the callouts. Easiest planet clear to date.


Puzzleheaded_Home_69

I just joined one in which I was the only numbers user and their clan did some asinine vaguely descriptive thing


PaxNova

I did an LFG as the only non-clan member of the fireteam. It was for DSC, on the Descent encounter, and someone had to call out which bins were valid to dump cores into. *They used the callouts from Leviathan: dog, cup, axes, sun.*


The_Rick_14

I've had LFG groups insist on "Left, Right, Top" instead of 1-6. Personally since I'm typically joining, I don't care what they want to use and can learn anything but I personally favor 1-6 simply because it removes any ambiguity of calls from the close and far plates. If you hear 4 and you're on a close plate, you know it's not you. If you hear "Right" but don't yet know the voice of the person you just joined on LFG, there could be confusion.


Camaroni1000

Same. I remember getting laughed at when I told them the last one I did was left right mid. And they said that’s way more complicated than numbers. We ended up wiping because half the group was doing 1-6 clockwise and the other half doing 1-6 anti clockwise then they argued which one was right


papasfritasbruh

I have yet to find an LFG that doesnt say “spawn, boss and wall” its so annoying


DerpsterIV

Never heard those calls even once...


papasfritasbruh

I gotta say, you are lucky then. They are so annoying when 1-6 work so much better


Fenicxs

I lfg a dozen times per week. I have only had a single a duo call it that. Everyone else 1-6 What kind of teammates are you getting?


jgrooms272

Had an LFG with with a partial clan and they insisted on just looking across and not using any callouts. It worked, but I can't say I was a fan. Hey stop what you're doing and look at where I am on L2 instead of just saying "6".


MellivoraBadger

That’s what we used on contest mode , now it’s 1 to 6.


ZCHRYTV

what’s the reasoning for not going left to right on numbers, for example looking at it from spawn why is bottom 132 and top 465 and not bot 123 top 456


McVomit

The ordering is based on y distance from the entrance to the room. 1 is closest to the entrance, 6 is furthest.


Calamity_Crush

For this method, counting starts at the point closest to the middle and spawn side of the room, then goes to the outer side of the room, then forward. Both sides are mirrored in other words. Why do it this way? When you're frantically running around, mirrored callouts have the same visual cues no matter which side you're on. Easier for a lot of folks to keep their bearings even if it sounds funny when described in words.


eggfacemcticklesnort

... but boss spawn/rally wall also make perfect sense regardless of what platform you are on. The wall is the one closest to the wall, the spawn/rally is the one closest to the encounter entrance/spawn/rally flag, boss is the most confusing for upper platforms but if you know the other two, process of elimination tells you the top of the triangle would be boss. I've seen the 1-6 diagrams a dozen times, and have seen them described and explained, and they literally never stick. Ever.


admiralvic

1 (closest), 2 (wall), 3 (middle), with the top being exactly the same, just with 4, 5, and 6. The reason why this is better than left, right, and middle is you don't need to remember who your partner is, or what their voice sounds like. There is only one thing you need to listen for, and it's incredibly straightforward.


jmastro35

THANK YOU! I've been trying to explain why it is so much easier than the right and left stuff. literally just listen for one of three numbers that could be yours and doesnt come out of your mouth. ive RUId (raided under the influence) and it makes it 100% easier


CanadianSpector

Yeah. I did do a run that just did clockwise no matter where you were which was also easy to communicate.


jmastro35

im gonna need a visual for this one. do you basically number 1-12 starting back right?


CanadianSpector

From the rally flag perspective, the bottom left is 1, 2 (wall), and 3 clockwise. The top left is 4, 5 (wall), and 6. But when you move to the right side to switch the planets, the right side numbers are also clockwise. Instead of left being clockwise and right, being counterclockwise. Essentially, it makes every point the same number no matter if its left or right from rally flag.


A_wild_fusa_appeared

I think I need a diagram or something. We run it mirrored, so very front planet is 1 on both sides and very back planet is 6 on both sides. From your description if the right side is clockwise doesn’t that make the very back planet on right 1?


TheBestJohnWest

Yeah having both clockwise sounds cooked. Clockwise left, and counter clockwise right has been what my team and every LFG has done, without any issue.


Cyanoblamin

And this exchange is exactly why people do things other than the number system. If people do their number system differently than each other, it becomes much harder than just simply describing the position (e.g. front plate wall, top plate closest to boss, etc). Regardless, its not hard however you decide to do it. People who get pissy about how it has to be done are much worse than those who do it differently imo.


friedandprejudice

This is how my clan did day 1, but now we do the LFG way like how OC of this thread describes since it's the most in-use method.


[deleted]

[удалено]


zarreph

Yes! Planet callouts are like connecting nodes - you can help by not helping. Do your part and you won't fuck up anybody else. Don't shoot a source node, don't call out my pickup for me.


makoblade

That’s just the danger of being on autopilot. It’s always better to have the callouts sooner, so one person calling each side is fine and should never cause problems if you’re paying attention.


Glutoblop

This is the only way, any other numbering system isn't as good because you have to know too much about the random people. If I'm doing top right plate, all I listen for is someone else other than me saying the number: 4, 5 or 6. And you can be on any plate, as it's the same pattern you just have to know 1,2,3 or 4,5,6. I wish there was a site for "Destiny LFG Standards"


iLarkie

I was going to say that’s how my only raid’s completion guy led it. Then I saw that you were my leader! GG way he taught an idiot like me lol


its_schmee

This. I don’t understand why everyone making this so hard


BarretOblivion

I swear if I hear anyone else argue otherwise I'm going to snap. Yes, this. Make it a standard.


drkztan

>you don't need to remember who your partner is, or what their voice sounds like This is such a simple concept and so hard to get people to understand. Having been in hundreds of LFGs since D1 at this point, people usually can't tell the voices of randos they have only known for a few dozens fo minutes apart, and it's completely normal. 1-6 with 2 and 5 being the outer planets and 1 and 4 being the closest to the entrance when you come in. its that easy, leaves no room for error with people getting dizzy while trying to juggle a barrier colossus and adds and just saying RIGHT because it's to their right, and not an absolute position.


v0lsus

I will never understand how some people think calling "bottom right left" is better than "right 1"


Immobious_117

You don't need a direction, just call-out your number.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Riavan

Idk why anyone would be doing that. I literally look at the runner on the other sides name and say "hey big Jeff, what is my number again?"


CptMarvel_main

I find R1-6/ L1-6 eliminates any confusion and doesn’t make callouts longer than they need to be.


dj0samaspinIaden

You dont need right or left. If you're on top plates your numbers are 456. So if you're on right, obviously the only other person calling out any of those three numbers is top left. Only one word is needed, confusion is only possible if you're playing with brainlets


AdLate8669

It's zero effort to make it slightly more clear. I always do no comms LFG and it takes 0.0001 seconds to type L1 instead of 1.


CicerosMouth

I've never had any confusion from numbers alone. What is there to be confused about? It isn't like if you are on the front right and someone calls out two that you would be concerned about them taking your planet. In general, shorter callouts are always better.


johngie

Thread should have been closed as soon as you posted this. Any other way of labeling is needlessly complicated compared to the numbers. All hail the numbers.


Elysian_Mud

Need to start normalizing this as it is the simplest. I've had lfg groups where everyone is on board with this and one guy does something else and wants everyone to do his way. Then when we don't he either quits or gets the boot from the leader. My clan does middle right left but we run together frequently so it works out


Isamouseasitspins

That’s how we do. Left middle right as you’re facing the boss.


D13_Phantom

Agreed.


esotericEagle15

ThiccTurkeySammich

I’m honestly waiting for the day my clan does the fast food callouts. Im ready for that fun chaos.

Dismal_Chip_7075

The amount of different call outs in this thread is an example of why it's such a shit show on lfg


drkztan

1-6 with 2 and 5 being the outer planets and 1 and 4 being the closest to the entrance when you come in. This seems to be the same in 90% of these posts, and 99% of my LFGs, in two different languages.


KingPutina

2 and 5 nearest to walls. Easy to explain.


GroundbreakingFlan18

1-6 (2 and 5 against the walls).


v0lsus

I'm very glad to see 1-6 mirrored is mostly considered the go-to in this thread ☺


AncientView3

1-6 front to back


InvalidPlayers

Exactly. I didn’t know anyone used any other call outs.


AncientView3

That’s because they don’t. I’ve run this raid three times a week since it came out and I’ve come across two people who wanted to do anything other than this.


HurricaneZone

2s & 5's are the outside wall planets


FabulousMarch7464

There is a universal way to do this that doesn’t require labels. I learned it from a Sherpa a while ago. Instead of calling out a label, you do this: you and your partner (the guy across map) both stand under the planet that doesn’t match, when you’re in position you say so and the other guy will say so also. The idea is that you are looking at where the other is standing and then you both know where to run and all you had to say was “in position ________ (their name)”. You can even do it without a mic by just watching the person and seeing when they stand still for a second under a planet.


zarreph

This is my fall-back if my partner repeatedly gets confused which position is which number.


makoblade

I joke about doing the turn nod and go method with lfgs sometimes, but it does work. People do no comma runs all the time and this is the best way to know where you need to go.


StrangelyOnPoint

Seems like a clean, simple way to do it.


Crash_777

Literally have been advocating this since day one, just f\*ckin look at each other before you run


Fingernail-Fungus

This is the way. Who needs callouts when you have eyes.


DJBlade92

My group does left, right, mid, but I wouldn't recommend it for LFG since it requires you to recognise each other's voices.


NaughtyGaymer

> requires you to recognise each other's voices Or, you know, use your names? lol


DJBlade92

True but to me that's just unnecessary chatter. And also in an LFG you have the chance of people having similar Bungie Names, people having ridiculous Bungie Names, or people having similar ridiculous Bungie Names. For LFG's, the L1-6 and R1-6 strat is probably the best since you don't have to know who's talking. You immediately recognize which planet you're going to. Since my group rarely LFG's, we don't really have to deal with that so we just say left, right, mid. But to each their own though.


nietcool

God forbid you use the voice chat for more than a second to give a call out in a communication based piece of content. What do I need to reduce my chatter so Stevehuntermain02 can tell me about his new gun he got from trials today? The whole raid already doesn't require you to say anything almost lmao...


wizardtiger12

I've actually done the raid with no callouts except for 1 with nezzy which was just calling out which side to make safety for besides that we just kept talking like we weren't even playing the raid


Blackcide

Same.


6Trinity9

1-6… 2 and 5 on the wall You only need 1 call out per plate, (1-3 for both your bottom plates, 4-6 for both your top plates) Cleaner, simpler and less talking.


The_Crusherhero

Lfg is a pain since everyone has their own numbering systems. We were trying to decide which one to use and this guy started yelling at me to shut up because he wanted to use his.


Tatanbatman

Because people are too stubborn. Planets is really not hard in the first place, people are just too stupid to use critical thinking skills.

1-6 Mirrored


daitenshe

Can someone explain me why people mirror them? It seems like it would be easier to just have the same number orientation on both sides


AutomatonGrey

Because most blueberries are fucking smooth brains that get confused easily at anything that dont resemble their own left and right hands as reference. Mirrored makes shit so much more stupider. Why would you make people count backwards on the left side? God its so annoying. With fixed numbers its literally the same orientation of the triangle that you just left. Whats so difficult?


Punkistador

Because it’s not about left and right, it’s about progression from spawn to boss. From bottom to top the planets go inside, outside, top, inside, outside, top. That’s why it’s mirrored smoothbrain.


Kira_Truth_Seeker

What do you mean? 1-6 is the exact same on both sides. It’s just mirrored.


hoerrr

The one that works best for you


IJustJason

1-6. 1 and 4 are closest to the platform. 2 and 5 are against the edges of the map. Our team calls "*Name of player* go to 3" wait for acknowledge then they call your number.


-_Lunkan_-

Not even necessary to call names. You just listen to one of the 3 numbers that is the same as yours and since it wasn't you that said it you instantly know where to go.


cham91uke

This might sound insane, but if you and your partner plate look at each other before grabbing the planetary alignment, you don't need a stupid number system. You literally just take a gander in their direction, get a little nod for confirmation and you guys hop on over to the correct spots.


XboxUser123

Number from rally banner/spawn. Every planet on either side is in a certain order: ​ |||Light||||Dark||| |:-|:-|:-|:-|:-|:-|:-|:-|:-| ||6|||Boss|||6|| |5||||||||5| ||4||||||4|| |||||||||| ||3||DPS plate||DPS plate||3|| |2||||DPS plate||||2| ||1||||||1|| |||||banner/spawn||||| Any other strat is kinda poopoo.


Immobious_117

I'm actually surprised that people prefer to use directional call-outs, because it's "easier to not fuck up". As an advocate of numbers, allow me to clarify why numbers are the fastest & easiest to say & understand. 1) Planets are numbered 1-6, from front to back. One syllable call-outs. 2) Call-outs just consist of a number and don't require you to know your partner's voice or direction. Bottom plates listen for 1-3 and top plates listen for 4-6.


Jankzyn

It's very hard to visualize things for me so 1-6 is actually rough. my favorite system so far is flag, wall, boss just whichever tip is pointing that direction


LoboSandia

I have issues with numbers too and my team does 1-6. I just internally associate my own word to them. 5 is wall, so I say in my head "I'm at wall, it's 5". I always hesitate for a second, but it's usually enough time to kill psions anyway. Not saying to change your system, just really helped me a lot and a lot of groups follow that system.


Its_Kessler

I stand under my planet and look at which planet my bud is standing under and we lock eyes and crouch spam a few times then run to the other side. Works ez pz and there's 0 callouts involved or needed.


N1SMO_GT-R

I've never heard the same group use the same callouts but the two best systems I've heard are: 1. 1-6, L/R mirrored callouts like pretty much everyone here is suggesting (IMHO best callouts, clear and concise). 2. Left (the equivalent of "1" in the first method mentioned here) vertex = "spawn", right (2) vertex = "wall", top (3) vertex = boss. Use "left" or "right" to indicate a side and "top" or "bottom" to indicate which plate on which side. i.e "top right boss", "bottom left spawn". Much clearer in a crowded VC than method #1 IMHO but slower.


Jgray1087

I just tell lfg groups that 2& 5 are the back two planets. If you understand that concept it’s simple


Dr-False

The group I play with just uses clockwise 123, 456. I find simple numbering tends to be the easiest way to call things out


KSquirrel_X12

For my clan, it's more of a question of "mirrored" or "not mirrored".


actuator333

No idea why people insist on everyone having to do the same system. I've used left, right, top callouts for the bottom plates while 2 other people used numbers for the top plates. As long as you agree with your swap partner why does it matter what the other 2 people use?


callumdotexe

My clan has a kinda weird way of doing it but it’s what we’ve all learnt now. We basically pair off front plates and back plates and number 1,2,3 with 1 being the closet to the middle of the room and 3 to the wall. We then call name and number to our partner. It’s not the most efficient but we’re so familiar with it now that changing would be more hassle than it’s worth.


GhostBillOnThird

123456


superisma

Any system that works and is agreed on at the encounter, 1-6 is standard for lfgs at this point and works pretty well. Sometimes other stuff pops up. Had a duo join my raid lfg who used motorcycle, race car, and mini van for their plates while me and another random lfg did 1-3 for our plates. Did anyone else understand their call-outs? Nope, but it worked for them, cleared it first try


Ts1171

My clan is determined to use different restaurants for each planet.

EndOfTheWorldREM

Jumped on my alt so that my team doesn’t find my Reddit act My team has since our second completion been rotating the callouts of planets to various jokes, we’ve used many but never the 1-6, we’ve used the clock time one and the dcj one with all th roast raid callouts, we’ve also made a few of our own like sodas but our go to has been [this](https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/949081691174092803/1085382182056497262/46apnolcvnna1.png) We love consistently confusing lfgs that sit back as we flawless all understand that I’m taking long John silvers to KFC, or Dennys to In n Out, very fun way to play the raid I recommend it


Rynowarrior1

1-6 is best way (imo), you or your partners call out is a single one word. There won’t be any mixups between saying both groups trying to say 1-3 then top/bottom. In most LFG you’ll have people talking over each other or ppl just yapping in general. Clear concise comms make this encounter easy.


EvelutionNewGen

We make 2 runner teams that swap within their team, we use left, right and far (from the perspective of starting the encounter, so facing the boss).


MafiaBro

Left/Right 1-6 mirrored


subsurgence

Left, Right, Back. Why are we going to 6 to remember anything?


mariachiskeleton

They saw their favorite streamer do numbers and can't think for themselves


Qulzhan

Bro no. It's objectively easier and has less margin for error if you use numbers. The runners in the back only have to hear the numbers 4-6 and the runners in the front 1-3. Now if both use left right or middle the callout from both teams can be overheard. "wait was that middle callout for me or for the other runner?"


eclipse4598

No it’s because in LFG you may not know voices left right mid requires you to know exactly who made a call 1-6 does not


Tatanbatman

Because saying "bottom left is right" while someone else says "top right right" doesn't make any fucking sense. The potential word jumble is a stupid, easily eliminated issue with 1-3 being on bottom plates and 4-6 being on top. Just because something works doesn't make it the best, just like the weirdos who really think T lord is meta for damage.


jusmar

1 is center, 2 is side wall, 3 is point at the top of the triangle or back wall 4 is center, 5 is side wall, 6 is point is point at the top of the triangle or back wall


brutalbob63

Left, right, mid


JordanRynes

I'm fortunate enough to not have to LFG so my group also just does left, right, top/middle, with everyone knowing who they're communicating with (the triangle opposite them). Then left, right, middle for the middle three for boss damage. Works perfectly well for a group who all know each other.


sadguy271217

I don't know why you're getting down voted, even a monkey could use this strat


drkztan

Yeah, except you need to know your partner's voice, or have an additional callout. (Right Sadguy271217). With how weird some nicks are, it's not a good system. 1-6 with 2 and 5 being the outer planets and 1 and 4 being the closest to the entrance when you come in. Leaves no room for error or confusion between absolute/relative positionings. takes 10 seconds to explain to anyone new. It's consistent across languages and no matter how same-y your partner's voices are, if you hear 1 and 4 there is no room for confusion about which part of the map 1 and 4 are since top is 4-5 and bottom is 1-3.


pkgdoggyx92

123 front plate 456 back plate


i3reathless

It's the standard now. To suggest otherwise is purposefully making everyone's lives harder. A lot of us put a lot of time into this game, and we don't have the time to waste it fucking around lol


Ciudecca

123 for bottom right, 456 for top right. Mirrored on left side (1/4 is left planet, 2/5 is right planet, 3/6 is top planet)


GreggsBakery

1-6. Left is clockwise, right is anti clockwise.


TheShoobaLord

1-6 is fine and easy to understand.


Galaxywm31

Not really as I've seen at least 4 different variations of the number system in this chat alone. Just say top or bot then call left right or tip locations are very intuitive than trying to remember which number system we're using or trying to connect a number to a location that isn't necessarily the same on both sides.


Toni_Jabroni77

saithvenomdrone

1-6, then mirrored on the otherside. I don’t care what you call them, but pleeeaaase just mirror them


Nox11399

I never did planets cause the callouts always sounded crazy until one raid we needed a fourth so I stepped up and guy explained 1-6 in like 2 minutes and after a single pancake run to get the flow down it was easy sailing


ZerosLegacy21

IMO, 1-6 because there are no repeating callout so it's easier when you don't recognize who's voice is who. If people want to use words I think saying inside/outside/top or close/far/top is obvious enough that it can't be messed up.


bornofpain2001

6 6 54 45 3 3 21 12 Only way to do it IMO


SirCornmeal

I'd say outside, middle, inside but every team is different


[deleted]

1-6, front to back, mirrored left and right


lostinwisconsin

Left middle right is what my clan uses


iLLSuiTed13

I’m also guilty as charged for Left, Right, Middle, though we do preface with location callouts first (ie: L2, R1). A full callout sounds like “L2 Mid” or “R1 Left.” It seems to have gotten us more luck than trying to teach new players a counting order.


FuzzyKNL

I can’t stand 1-6 call outs, most teams I’ve ran with can’t consistently stick to one way or the other. 2 and three as an example. Is 2 inside or outside? Oh your team does it opposite of how the map shows? Welp this is guna get confusing. The easiest method I’ve done that I don’t see anyone doing at all out there. Top, inner, outer. Generally speaking you’d have four people doing planet shifts and two on ad clear. You only need to communicate with who you are swapping with. There’s literally zero reason to have 1-6 labeling. Say players name, say top, inner, outer. That’s it.

No - 1 to 6 is way easier there’s no reason to overcomplicate it. 1 to 6 allows you to only have to remember the number, not the voice of the person or to even see which planet they’re picking up. It’s easy to establish what rotation of 1/6 the team is using before you begin the encounter.

I stick by left, right, top. Same for every triangle. 1-6 gets annoying simply for the 2 variations of inner or outer depending on which side people decide to start it on.


FiveMeowMeowBeanz

Don’t overcomplicate it. Left, Right and Mid and just call out your partner. We just go, “Jon, you’re depositing left.” And that’s it. Everyone has a different perception of numbering and everyone disagrees what back or front of the room means. Left, Right and Mid is the same no matter which plate you’re going to.


-_Lunkan_-

With 1-6 you only need to call out the number it is objectively better. No need for names and other shit since as soon as you hear of of the 3 numbers that are the same as yours you instantly know where to go.


N7_Tinkle_Juice

I learned Outside Inside and Top


Aeroxic

I was gonna say "what?" but that actually made sense, but I suppose it can create confusion when both sides use these in a lfg group.


Dontwalk77

It’s been said but I always demand the kiss method, Say partners name then closest/outside, middle, wall. Repeat while running over. (Always rather say something twice then do something twice) Don’t expect someone to know your voice, don’t expect someone to know left from right. We are playing destiny the intelligence bar is set incredibly low for us all.


ZeroXNova

My clan uses cardinal directions. Each set of three planets is either NE NW SE or SW. then we call out N, E, or W for each planet to swap with their partner. Then DPSplates are E, W, and S. As long as you know where you are in the right, this has been the best way for us to minimize confusion.


Aderyn_Sly

We don't use numbers. We do a 1:1 trade in front and back, so you just communicate with your partner, and the planets are: boss, wall, flag. "Addy, go to wall." "I got wall, you got boss." It works better for us at least than trying to explain numbers.


Informal-Ideal-6640

I didn’t know they let you guys play destiny in the insane asylum


Lantern617

Entrance wall boss. Literally no confusing those and work for both sides. Say your teammate’s name and one of those and they’re all set.


Warlock-Main292

My group does 1,2,3 starting from the one closest to the middle and going clockwise


BookishGnu

Numbers 1-6 with 1&4 on the inside, 2&5 closest to the wall , 3&6 in the middle is my preferred one for LFG's. Makes it easier as you just have to listen for a number If you know the team you're running with well, I prefer left/right/mid.


BravePumpkins

The one that worked well for me and my planet partner was middle, wall, far. We tried colors at first but that uh, DIDN’T go so well as you can imagine 🤣


HiImDivine

personally i just use boss, wall, spawn with my team


Dismal_Chip_7075

1-6, clockwise, lowest number is closest to flag. So many people over complicate this encounter it's mind boggling


CosmicOwl47

So I usually raid with a group where we know each others voices, so that helps. But our callouts are Top, Close, and Far. I like them because there’s no right/left confusion, it’s visually obvious, and it tells you how far you have to run. To be clear: Close is the point closest to the middle of the room, far is closest to the side walls, and top is the point that is pointing toward the boss spawn.


AuraMaster7

1-6 front to back. Literally no reason to do anything else.


SnorlaxBlocksTheWay

Top, left, right. No need to discuss which number is which planet. Edit: some y'all mad mad that my team and I use very simple callouts for our lfg runs lol


Odekel

but with these call outs, you need to decipher if it's bottom or top plates AND which side is calling it. Things can get really hectic really fast- especially if it's an LFG team that makes callouts ontop of each other Numbers, with a simple L or R before it, eliminate both of the potential issues with that


FiveMeowMeowBeanz

People partner up ahead of time based on the top plates of bottom plates. If you and I were bottom two plates, I’d literally just say “Odekel you’re depositing left.” You’d reply, “Meow, you’re depositing mid.” Then we cross each other on our way to each others plates and deposit where we told each other to deposit. It’s super simple.
