37261 port is closed  or something :S


it changes that port number occasionally tho.


.ru is good otherwise but this hosting issue is very much makin ppl more inactive.

true. I don't think you can host from mobile. :< Don't know about hostbot, Lance has been MIA for a while. you can /w mousetopher on server though and if I'm at my pc I can host matches for you

if it was possible for me to host games without changing my router information i would play at least 50% more

anytime i do play a game i am only able to play chopfarms or GOW, but when i'm in GOW i have to watch unless it's a 4v4 in which case I can play

if I could host games it would be great to play against new players like myself 

never really understood this hosting issue with blizzard games

Whenever iam online you can message me to host a game! Even if u want to play a newb, ill just leave after ive hosted. If u care about youre ladder points ill watch it and give u some advice after game. ( staying only if i got time and dont want to play by myself)
@ Ripe , if u want to play some1 and you both cant host , you can use lattrick works fine for 1v1 games.

There is an app for portforwarding for phones.. or get a VPN with ports open.

I joined a hostbot game okay?  No one ever seems to take advantage of it but it worked for me at least to join

it is sometimes pain in the ass. i used to host 247. i know i get more games that way. it is frustrating, like last nite, couldnt get a friggin game. and there is like 33% of others aswell who cant host.  and host bot didnt work yesterday.


and

ps. some1 is dossing the forums or somat :D:D very slow lol.

The way I managed to fix my hosting problem was by buying support from this site.

https://portforward.com/

The support costs a one time fee of $40 but will be able to host after that.

What exactly did they do for the $40?

[mousEtopher]

Hostbot does work but is very inconsistent, main problem is it has a bug that causes it to get stuck in a game & you have to wait hours before you can reset it (designed to prevent abuse, but also inconvenient.)

[shesycompany]

What exactly did they do for the $40?

open the router page and foreward ports

lance is back on,so im sure thats why its fixed.

They have software that solves your latency problem and support staff that walk u through the whole process.
If your like me and suck with comps it helps.
