90% of the time I don't use Melee heroes for PvE so MoX will never be used, because I rather a Warrior than a Derv hero.

Grenth and Melandru avatar paint jobs rule. I hate how people are telling the location to the secret lair already...although I managed to avoid hearing about it and figured it out myself from the picture. But I mapped to LA and first thing I see is "where the lair?" "It's in the Falls!"

Ugh..i hate people who broadcast spoilers to something as thought-out as that. Well, at least they did a pretty good job at getting people to head out to the jungle again...if they want to get the reward on all their chars they probably have to go back and do all those missions.(fastest way to get there). Good job Anet...cool looking hero, he'll get some use because the other dervs were just boring to look at and I don't mind another melee helping me out. Gives me another hero to hold my destroyer scythe too.

Pleasantly surprised. I normally have no use for a dervish but M.O.X. is just too cool looking so I'll just have to find a spot. LOL...GJ and thank you A-Net.

Done.

Ahh so the different colour transformations are dependent on what form one uses!
And here was I thinking I'd have to choose one and the Pokemaniac in me already cried bitter tears!

As always, even if I'll never end up using it, thanks for all the free stuff!

you don't need the fire imp ok... just cause you bought the campaigns doesnt make you entitled to every single bonus item that anet decides to give you.

I agree with you on the spoiling part. People are just too lazy to even use their brains for a second. The picture clear shows the Maguuma in a jungle area, I figured that out in less then a second. Then the waterfall and the rock was a dead give-away for the Falls.

-sigh-

People are too stupefied to figure a easy and fun problem like this.

Anyways, Good Job ANet. I hope to see 4 more heroes for the other professions, all non-humans ^^ and all having at least 2 campaigns to go through.

Idc about the rewards, though the 10k per character is nice . Glad I went through the Maguuma on most of my characters. I would want a Paragon hero next please. I love Morgan, but I need a change from the old man.

For people who say fire imp is useless: Leveling yet another survivor, anyone? You might want extra edge there. Doing LDOA Charr Hunts, anyone? Now you can get to AFK part even faster.

Wow, Invader Zim references.

Totally love ANet.

Wait, now that I reread the Fire Imp thing and found out I don't have it, kind of annoyed....I can't even add those things to my account to get a fire imp, and I would love it on my pre character to help with LDoA.

Purchase the Guild Wars 2008 Upgrade or the Game of the Year Upgrade, available in the in-game store or PlayNC.com
Unfortunately the Game of the Year upgrade isn't available at PlayNC.com, but it would be nice if it and character slots could be added to the PlayNC.com store.

edit: Guild Wars 2008 Upgrade?

I was really impressed with this update, just doing the quests was rather fun, even though one of the first things I saw in ally chat when I logged on was the location of the lair, thereby taking away any of the fun of looking for it I know we can't expect updates like this all the time, but even occasionally, this new playable content is really a nice touch on anet's part.

Also, I like the summoning stones, and how the limitations on them make them far from imba. I'm also wondering if, since they made two of them, if they're planning to make more as well, and how they would be made available if they did.

Just tried it in Fronis Irontoe's Lair. Get the message "This item cannot be used during solo missions."

Hmm - so not everyone should have MOX then (if we extend your argument)?

I would like to add my thanks to ANet for taking the time to infuse some life and bring some variety to the game, it is appreciated - but being unable to use the Fire Imp on one of my accounts (despite having all three campaigns for over a year from retail boxes) does smart a little. If I thought buying an extra character slot would be enough, then I'd be more than happy to (and yes - I already have unlock packs) but like most of the elder players say - I can live without if that's the way it has to be.

Congrats on MOX anyway ANet - I'm looking forward to more fruits of Linsey's work!

Answer me this:

Do you need EotN in order to take the quest?

I'm having problems starting the M.O.X. quest, and I'm guessing the reason is that it is trying to load me into an EotN map. This doesn't go against what Anet have announced; you can get M.O.X. with the three campaigns but as it appears, you just can't do the quest. Can anyone confirm?

I wouldn't doubt that they didn't think about it when they put the quest giver in the "Hero tutorial" area which happens to be in Boreal Station.

There will probably be an update later to fix this. Or they will change the requirements to all 4...

What a surprise I had this morning.

Firstly I got the golem which I didnt think I would since all my games were boxed versions bought over the years rather than an electronic purchase.
Which I thought was the requirement.

Secondly I have a fire imp usable only by my <20 level mule characters but still a good deal.

Thirdly I had a character Birthday and got a Bone Dragon.

If it wasnt raining the day would be near perfect.

Yea it does not seem right at all; we all purchased the campaigns and we are being punished for where we purchased them. If they wanted to promote their online store, what they should have done is made the Fire Imp exclusively purchasable at the online store for a few dollars or free with a character slot purchase.

Instead they are playing favorites, making "Online Store Purchasing Elitists" out of a segment of the player population.

Don't know if anyone has commented on this so far, but couldn't that IMP be used as an extremely helpful tool for getting LDoA? Unless it leeches exp, that would be stupid as hell, but what do people think of that?

To be honest, it probably isn't that much of help, because you still need to death level from 16 to 19.

I still don't think that it is viable, considering the Imp can only be re-summoned every 60 minutes once dead. How would it be possible to death level the monsters that slowwwwwwwwwly?

Plus the Imp has enough firepower to blast most pre-monsters to bits, you can't stop him from attacking and he has a pretty good self heal (Glyph of Restoration).

Getting Survivor + LDoA seems still more trouble than it's worth, if possible at all.
