EPTEveryone loses, don't think that a loss can be any less educational than a win (if not more in some cases).
Anyone else get really nervous playing this game? - Page 8

In Starcraft it's only about the stats, but in Eve you losing can have serious consequences, so it makes perfect sense that he's very nervous in eve pvp. | ||

some years ago i played many shooters. playing a 5on5 in a tournament and being the last alive of your team vs 2-3 enemys and this round will decide the outcome of the game.. since then i never had about 300 heartbeats per minute again it kindoff made me almost immune to nervousness in most of all games - except for tourney matches | ||

Its most likely becuase you like this game to much, you watch livestreams/replays and have great plans for how you wanna play and how good you wanna get. All this pressure turns into fear of losing, and when doing quick matches your playing against "the enemy". I get the same adrenalin rush and when it gets to intense I feel my heart going so fast I feel like im gonna die. I played 200games in phase 1 tho and after that it pretty much goes away. It might be back now after the break but just force yourself to play and you should be fine  | ||

My suggestion to players that have these fear problems would be to practice your build against the new AIs until you get something down. You don't need YABOT or anything, just pick one of the AIs. Get comfortable with the units, the hotkeys, and the general things you need to do(macromechanics, base layout, attacking, defending, etc). Then go online and play a few games. You'll probably still have those panic moments when you have no idea what you should do but if you run through the situations with a UMS or AI, it would be better. Actually now that I think about it, a better solution would be to actually get a friend to play with you. That way you can have a more relaxed atmosphere because a lot of fear comes from not knowing what the other player is like. | ||

In phase 1 I played 300 games of SC2, while doing my exams... I'm not the person who cares much for stress, as it makes me work better and think better (to some extend), but the effect it had on my body was crazy. I ended up at the doctors/lung specialists, cos I couldn't breath properly.. They still haven't figured out what it was (still is a bit), but it seemed to be the stress from SC. I had perfect lungs, so hasn't that. Crazy huh? | ||

That is crazy=p I find a few beers and music calms my nerves down for a ladder session^^ If I'm having a REALLY bad time, I just drink moooarrr!! =D However, when not drunk (or drunk enough), I'll almost tear the hair out of my head while watching replays. | ||

But its mostly because i enter the game with the following mentality "This guy is fucking trash and im going to rape him" Then when i lose it causes me to rage  Me too. I make a million mistakes per game, and every time it costs me a game, I am always mad as hell. Unless I lose solely because my opponent was just amazing at the game, in which case I'm still mad I'm not also amazing. | ||

when i practice my goal is not to win, its to learn. so whenever i play a great player im happy because it gives me an opportunity to learn in rare tournament occasions i do get nervous and the reason is because i want to win my suggestion to whoever get nervous, happy, lose focus, nerdrage or w/e during practice games is to stop worrying about winning and instead spend ur time trying to master the game. nobody can win all games and nobody expects u to, u make a terrible mistake then dont be sad because u just found out theres something u can improve in. and the more things u have to improve the more potential u got to become a better gamer with the mindset i use succeeding is to notice how u improve, make a mistake then 1 week later u can handle it makes me very happy and its very rewarding. if i play and make mistake and still win, it gives no satisfaction because my goal was to clear the mistakes from my play nobody cares about good stats so dont feel embarrassed after losing, this should be motivation and what keeps u going most progameres would be dead out of stress and nervousness if they had same mindset as a new player which is to think "my goal is to win". if u seriously wanna become great at this game first thing u need to learn is how to respond to losing in a healthy way | ||

That's such an amazing feeling. Holy shit. I also get this whilst laddering. I'm really good under pressure. In my teams i'm known for always doing something crazy when all the odds are against us. | ||

Because you see, I'm from Europe. And the possibility that the server doesn't work are pretty high. On a more serious and on topic note, I never get flustered in ladder games or in practice games, but in a tournament I can get nervous depending on how far I advance. | ||

I give a rats ass if I do bad at any fps. But in this game, it feels like with a loss, your opponent outwitted you - he was smarter than you - which is much more 'intrusive' than him having better reflexes or dexterity or whatever it takes to win in an fps. It's like you're trying to prove yourself. But I rarely play a lot of games in a row. After like 2 to 4 depending on game length, I kinda need a break to settle down. It's actually pretty frustrating as some of my friends can just keep going on and on :-) | ||
