So 15min ago i logged into WvW and noticed this purple buff on me called Call of the Mists with some Spvp buffs on it. As of first i thought hmm maybe i was so drunk last night i actually consumed one but then some people asked me “hey do you also have this small buff” so i said yes.
Whats the purpose of it. I never do Spvp – So is this a trick to lure me into it?

Don’t argue with idiots, they pull you down their level and own you with experience.
I like the Magic Find for sPvP, that’s probably the greatest thing I’ve ever seen. As for why you have it, well the Tournament of Yawny (sorry ArenaNet, conquest (or Capture the Point) is and will be boring to watch for a lot of people..) is soon/now/sometime, it’s related to that.
I thought it was some kind of reward for all the hours and effort we put into S3. Figures it’s going out to everyone to promote sPvP. Glad WvW is valued by Anet!
Well, the buff shows in PvE too. So wether the magic find applies in WvW is not clear, but I guess not. There are a number of buffs that say they are not to working in PvP but they do in WvW.
Bribe for people to watch a commentator look like he wants to shoot himself.
That doesn’t really make much sense, seeing as you only actually get anything from the buff by playing. If you are playing you are not watching the commentator.
Its the same freaking thing on a smaller scale. Its a microcosm of whats wrong in GW2… nay all mmorpms today, the pvp sucks.
Nope. U’ve got no PvE gear in PvP, which is cool, while in WvW u can use ur PvE gear, stats, consumable things, and build. Also low lvls dies in the 2 seconds ;D So it cant be the same thing.
Also…
100 people can smash 10, while in PvP u’ve got clearly defined number of players.
Also…
U’ve got the ability to join as a spectator, and ability to create ur own arena, team etc etc…
I like to play WvW occasionally, but simply prefer PvP.
Ofc u can say that PvP sucks, but IMO it’s still better than WvW, and PvP from other MMORPG’s.
I do not know another mmorpg, which creates a PvP in the MOBA style.
they need to improve hotjoin to encourage people to go spvp. getting 4v5 all the time which later lead to people leaving the team might not be a good experience for many beginners.

But how can they fix that?
They can’t stop people from leaving (even if they made it impossible to leave you could just disconnect your computer or close down the game).
They already have a system that punishes people for leaving games, and clearly that doesn’t really work.

Need real other modes than conquest.

But how does that fix people leaving matches? Why would mode X suddenly not attract leavers, while mode Y did? Everyone knows that most maps in sPvP right now is conquest, so I find it very unlikely that they would leave when they got a map with conquest.

New modes attracts more people and promote build diversity boosting moral THEN we fix 4v5 can’t do all at once.
Priorities first so much the game needs we shouldn’t overflow the process.

True. But I have often wondered why. Like…. I don’t have much of an interest in sPvP in this game and if I had an interest in a MOBA style PvP I would definitely play a different game. The combat mechanics are pretty god-awful for MOBA style PvP. I actually picked up this game from a MOBA style because I wanted to play a casual game for a while. That soon lost my interest, but WvW in its uniqueness (from my perspective), is what kept me here.

You may not be able to stop people leaving, but they could stop the games starting imbalanced. How many times have I started 2v1. You invariably get 1 point to their 2 before they come 2v1 you. If anyone eventually joins, someone will join the winning team for 3v2 and the ever-decreasing circle of oppression starts. Why they can’t queue one until someone hits for the other team is lost on me.
Another problem I have with the hot join is that it throws everyone in together without seemingly accounting for their level. I was busy getting murdered yesterday trying out a new class and everyone seemed to have a dragon finisher. I may just be bad, but I think their overall experience means they can isolate and burst me down before I’ve figured out what my moves do. It’s a very rough training ground, but what else is there?
