So...how am I supposed to play?

I keep trying to join games but the host always kicks me. How are new players supposed to be able to get experience when nobody allows you into a game?


If anyone would like to play, my steam name is KevlarBurrito

if i saw you, i would kick you immediately.

I guess hosting your own server isn't an option....

It is, but I was just trying to get a quick game in, I figured a new player wouldn't attract too many people, if any, to play. What's the big deal about letting a new player into an unranked match?

well, for starters. Try not to join unranked where theres a lot of high ranked players. You will be kicked because they are looking for a hard fight, not a smear the noob fest. Try joining ranked, most peopole will smear a noob for easy points. Only the high star guys will kick fron ranked, that being because they will not gian any points.

I appreciate the advice, thank you. The problem I'm having is that all the players I have seen online are 4star and up, no matter what game I join I'm always getting insta kicked...it's pretty discouraging since I'd like to play an aggressive style game, not an artillery camp from the deployment zone...I'll keep your advice in mind, thank you again.

Host games with something like NOOB RANKED,then you should get players in the same situation joining your games and you will be able to start gaining points.
dont be to offended in a while when you are experienced you will be kicking noobs,they are just a wast of 15 min to a experienced player who just wants a good game.

Just host games with titles like "obamaisakenyan" or "free beer and boobs" and your sure to get a full room.

Yea that's what I usually do. It seems to attract my kind of people. I am always able to beat them too YAY!

if you are really new to NTW, do the following steps:
1. Edit your profile, set your "Profile status" to "Private" or "Friends only". - This is to hide your playing time.
2. Change your avatar to a attractive beauty . - People has good impression to a good looking girl.
3. Change your steam name like a pro guy,l "Master of X" etc.
4. Play at least 5 ranked game, to get minimum 5 stars from Steam, whether u are win or lose.
5. Start to play 1v1 unranked game as many as you can. Save the replay and review your lose, find out the mistakes.
6. Memorised all the unit guide, have your own army build. http://forums.totalwar.com/showthrea...War-Unit-Guide
7. Download and watch these players video. Listen to their advice and learn the good tactic.

2 weeks later, nobody will dare to kick u again...

tbf when i started playing, i just had a decent name (Y@$!N),called my games the same things, got some stars, and started making steam friends.from then on, its difficult to go wrong.i had a nice steam pic too, with a cloaked dark man or something similar

stars dont mean jack and i only have 4 and i begrudge having them. if i play 1 v 1 i do kick 1 or 2 star players from my games only because alot of them lag or cheat or are complete and utter pants as a player. 3 stars and above i'll give em a whirl. in some cases i've had tougher games of a 3 or 4 star player than i have of someone with 9 stars.
only today i played a guy with the max amount of stars. he thought i would be easy picking cos of my ranking and it showed in his attitude towards me. which was very rude and arrogant. he expected to just role me over and was so overconfident that he was totally slack in his whole approach towards his assault on my troops.
i totally spanked him and he ran off to the otherside of the map and hid in the woods and wouldnt come out. i wasnt prepared to chase him so i buggered off for a cup of tea, a smoke and a bloody good dump on the toilet. when i came back he was still there he hadnt moved lol.
so i left him to it and took my kids up the park.
when i came back he had decided to attack my troops and still lost with me not even been there...
