1) Practice your BO in single player until you can do it without thinking about it. 2) Practice against people online until you can do your BO without pressure Also if you can't host, try opening your ports on your router. hit me up on iccup, i'm sGs.Nazza, but I'm really bad at TvP and TvT. | ||

Because when you win your first game, it will be the happiest day of your life. (Pretty sure I lost 100 games before my first non-cheese win) | ||

traffic is still okay.. as long as you wait around for about 5-10 mins you pretty much can get a game(unless ur B or smth) | ||

But better just add me on skype directly as that is allmost allways on. Skype id is: q3hellbouncer or q3_hellbouncer. One of tjose two, can't remember exactly. I am mostly online at night (Eu timezone). PM on skype if you want to practice even if I am offline as I sometimes stay invizible. I play T and also suck! Also, we should get organised and use some channel to meet more easily.. | ||

I'd be happy if I could just find some games to lose in! So it doesn't look like I am gonna get into BW after all. Try enabling DMZ or test your port using Starcrat port tester http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=146832 If opening a port still doesn't work enable DMZ. And make sure you have an static IP. Also joining games isn't that bad | ||

Dagon, some sort of channel would be great. Though I have no idea how to start one, I'd happily take part in it and add new people if you started it up, if I can get ICCup to work properly. My name is Salivanth on Skype. Kaal, apparently Fish messes with your registry files. I considered Brainclan, but decided I'd rather not learn Korean (Even the small amount I'd need) just to play BW. It might be a last resort, however. Mansa: Tried it, the port was open, but ping was about 400ms. So that could be the problem. EDIT: In the end, I think I have the answer. I'm on a wireless internet connection in Australia. I simply lag too much to play. Since BW games are p2p, and most of my games have been against Koreans and I've lagged unplayably against them, I can't play on a Korean server either. This also explains something that bugged me: Why I was able to play against my mate, who lives nearby, without lagging at all. Can't think of any other solution at this point, which sucks as I was looking forward to really learning the game. Thanks for all the help/advice/offers guys. I have posted my problem on the ICCup Forums, if they can't solve it, well...unfortunately, I'm done. | ||

I get 500mms average on that port tester maybe you'll just have to set starcraft to high latency or extra high latency every game. If that doesn't work then =/ TBH my internet is probably worse than every one else in the world but I'm able to play on High latency settings on average on bad days Extra high latency, Once in awhile I can play on low latency you just have to play on High latency or Extra high. You can set it on starcraft each game on options its on the network options ofc I'm not sure though Edit: Oops just saw your ICCUP post Edit 2: I use a wireless router and seems to have no problem with it. Some ISP blocks off P2P traffic so check that out. | ||

its not like other games where there's always someone worse than you and you can just waltz online and compete first game, on iccup it seems even D- players still have played quite alot of games and are at least decent. but yeah im also just trying to stick with a standard build for each race match and play simple. i say standard build, i mainly just get a load of dragoons, and as for buildings for higher tech rather than strictly follow a build order to the letter where i inevitably cock it up and then panic, i set out what i want to tech towards and so just build buildings in that order....as it seems kind of even people who've told me to follow builds, and others who say dont just copy builds just try and think logically and do it yourself. now my macro is okay, i can avoid getting supply blocked and have a few expansions and be constantly massing units from several gateways....so i feel comfortable enough to dive back into multiplayer...but the problem im sure ill face next is so many people seem so aggressive early on and i just get rushed. (i might try fast expand with forge and getting 2 photo cannons down early on my expansion as ive seen this done kind of often and seems good at dissuading early enemy pushes) | ||

As long as your macro is semi ok and you've got a bo vs every race just play vs other people..but like I said don't expect to win anytime soon. Good luck! | ||
