Noooo, don't give up now

Btw have you kept up with proleague? There are tonnes of people that don't play but love watching. It might renew your interest in the game and you can come back later.

I'd rather you switch to toss then stop playing completely .

Hi guys.

I'm amazed at this community. Unlike the SC2 community everyone here is so encouraging and supportive. Damn it I wish I discovered this game in 1998 instead of in 2010 via World of Warcraft telling me about Starcraft 2. So I would have only been 5 years old but think of where I could be. Maybe B+ by now xD (sarcasm, or then again perhaps not?)

Gonna check out some games on the nevake youtube channel. Flash, iloveoov etc. Hopefully I will learn a thing or two.

Watching SC doesn't make you good, but it does make you more interested in the game. I've seen tons of games but I'm still arguably the worst person on TL.net. Never give up, and I agree that the BW community's more open than the SC2 one for me.



Mmmm. I don't know if I agree with that if you watch streams to get better I think you can get better. I've learned a lot/picked up a lot of little tricks and ideas from greater players than I. I mean nothing beats playing, but if just keep a stream on while doing papers or work or whatever, it can't hurt.

I third? (second second?) the idea that BW community is smaller but much more encouraging and accepting.

Don't give up now, persevere!
I'm a mere d- player, but the challenge and the difficulty of bw is one of the main things that keep me coming back to play the game.

Also, that feeling when you first string together a few wins is amazing. My first win came from a zvt after like a few dozen losses. I practiced just one build for each matchups like mad just to get the hang of things. It kind of paid off since I got my first win with 3 hatch muta, but I did get stumped when I saw a gateway first in a zvp since I did not know much outside of 3 hatch spire.
I really do believe that after the initial stage, the game keeps on getting better for us newbies. Once you get a little bit more confidence you can try out more builds, more maps and etc etc. Plus the community really does know how to take care of new comers and guide them to graduation from d-. One day, I too hope to escape d- like those before me.

there's a lot of good ums for bw if you feel that ladder is just too hard. some of my favorites are heaven's final hour, the 5v3 and 6v2 cpu ones, spec forces, and various kinds of defense games.

If somebody is willing to play for fun with a D- player, please pm me. I am too bad even for the bottom of the ladder, but I have no intention playing versus AI

Edit: You know what. My arm hurts too much, can't macro a shit, I give up
Though I did win once. Felt like awesome. But damn, macroing is not for me.

You can try downloading some scripted AI's. There are some good non-cheating ones which should offer a decent challenge, or at least decent practice. Sometimes its hard to figure out how to get them to work, but I recommend you give it a go. The Brood War AI project has a good selection of different AI's with many different build orders for all races.

I'm a SC2 player who never played BW. I tried to play some Starcraft 64 a few weeks ago.... God, that was the most frustrating experience in my life, it was so hard to just do some basic stuff (selecting units, basic orders). I guess it's much "easier" to play on PC, though

Bought the game a few years back (saw a sc+bw pack for like 12$) but never actually played. I might log in tonight though.

OH mY God SC 64 IS the worst game i've ever played..no Maybes or probably's here. It was so awfully horrible.

On another note.. BWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW



I play sc2 everyday, and i love playing sc2, but there's always a special spot in my heart for the game i spent 10 years trying to be mediocre at :O

BW is not for everyone, it is a challenging game that rewards people who try and face great challenges.

If after he tried to play BW and he wasn't able to feel that he would continue playing it, he is in all his right to give up.

Thanks for trying.

Personally I think you will miss so much fun though, you just need to break free the first barrier :p

Breaking the hymen of iCCup may hurt, but it gives a great feeling of accomplishment and opens up a wealth of excting experiences.
