This Isn't A Newbie Friendly Environment.
« on: August 08, 2017, 12:16:20 AM »
So, I am new. I have only played like 10 games. In nearly every game I have been flamed several times for being new, and not knowing how the tech works/unit composition/counters etc, and I have been banned a few times from sessions.

I guess this is normal behavior here?

Sadly yes. There are a few people who will just hurl abuse regardless. Most people will be helpful if you let them know the situation. Tell them you are new. Ask for help. Have fun.
its gooder to hax hard and NEVER get caught!

Try to host your own games! Another pointer is to put newb in game name

First I want you to look at it from the average war2 players perspective. Warcraft 2 is over 20 years old and many players on the server have been playing it this whole time. Players who are playing on this server take it seriously, the average warcraft 2 player plays between 20-30 hours a week. Which is as many hours a part time job would give you.

Players don't have a problem with new players, however they expect new players to know the basics before playing in an actual team game.
My suggestion for you would be to try your best to learn how to play war2. There are many war2 training vids the war2combat channel


If you are getting flamed simply use the /ignore command and squelch the one who is flaming.
Also maybe try playing against some comps. Try to make a goal of beating 6 comps without dying and without using cheats.
war2 > war3

Stick it out, host your own games if you have to, and I promise you it will be worth it! This game rocks.

did you try the port forwarding guide? http://en.war2.ru/hosting This works like 90% of the time or something to let you be able to host. If you have trouble I can remote desktop and do it for you as long as you can find the username/password for your router

You can also check this thread http://forum.war2.ru/index.php/topic,2304.0.html to find other new players, you can email anyone who has commented on that thread with this button:


You can also visit our discord server http://en.war2.ru/discord Most people there are filthy casuals and are much friendlier than you'll meet in the average gow game on the server. Discord is a voice/text chat client like skype but you can run it right in your browser without registering or anything. If you still can't find anyone to game with then hit up me or babyshark on discord in evening EST and we'll play a few

Just play rocket league or another game. You should not have to read tutorials to get a game to work 100%!

The people playing or running the server is running the game to the ground. There is too much work for il to do himself. Good luck.

Wow Tupac. Other games are not the answer. What is this treachery!?

You should be informed that Rocket League CEO Dave Hagewood said the problems with his game are totally unacceptable. If the CEO feels that way, imagine how bad it is for the players. That's one you'll want to avoid for sure.

Ah, I see Tupac's strategy here. He is trying to send you somewhere far worse, so when you return to W2, it will seem that much better.


LOL!!!!! Your the first person to notice my troll out of all these years!



BTW rocket league is cool as hell!

Good news I was able to play a couple with Firebelly today, and looked like he was in some games prior and after as well, with stats 12-9 so he seems to be getting along a little better.
