A.Net: Hey guys. We made a brand new skinned wand for you for free....but you can only use it on your warrior.

Good intentions, bad execution.

All the rest (quests, items...) is really nice. So thank you for that.

Most veteran players already have all the characters they want at lvl 20 so unless they are leveling a perma-pre the imp is useless.

The imp is designed simply to help new players level up their character faster.

Consider yourself corrected.

I've bought every campaign/expansion on the day they came out, and I have the Fire Imp.

No, it isn't a hero.

The Fire Imp is a very nice little guy to take north of the wall in pre-searing!

Edit: just made a run north of the wall with my lvl 10 necro and my new imp pal. For the first time I can easily solo the charr, though not the bosses as yet. He seems to have very good survivability, using Glyph of Restoration for a self heal.

Did you buy any of the games on the in-game store? That's why you have it. If you have the Imp, it's because you bought one of the games in-store; if you bought all your games at outside stores you don't get it.

(Although, I can't confirm this 100% don't have access to my account at the moment. I have all games and characters under level 20)

How bout that. You need to have ordered from the online store or PlayNC.com.

Oh but if you bought the BMP from the online store you don't get an imp. Typical.

At least now i know for GW2: Buy main account in the shop, second account on the website!

I've been away on holiday for this weekend (tried to install GW on mum's computer, but not good enough to run it), so i havent had the opportunity yet to do any of the quests. I bought my entire GW account in store, so im guessing i'll have to buy the imp online or something? My LDoA-wannabe Warrior would love the company on them lonely Charr runs!

Interesting addition... but to be honest, after seeing that mox's forms were just color changes, I haven't cared to log on to guildwars to even see whats up.

Fire imp would have been interesting if able to be used when lv20. Of course, I could see the QQ coming from that aswell.

Hopefully next week's skill update will liven things up and get me to log in, even if its 5 mins.

Must buy at least one of the followings from in-game store to have imp included:
1. Guild Wars Factions
2. Guild Wars Nightfall
3. Guild Wars Eye of the North
4. Prophecies' 1 Million Edition / Game of the Year Edition

If all games including all of the above are purchased from retail, there will be an option of "2008 Upgrade" in the upgrade section.
This is an "Imp Only" upgrade listed with other add-ons such as character slot, pvp packs, BMP and skill packs.

The price of it is 2.99 GBP / 4.99 USD

The fire imp is the biggest waste Anet has come up with. I have it, because I own all campains, but it's usless, because all my characters are lvl 20, not to mention the restriction on it suck as well, once every 60 minutes, I can understand one per party, but even that sucks, because we are talking about a fire imp, I would of been happy with the resticions if it was something like a high lvl creature from the underworld, but a fire imp. you can get that as a pve only skill from the assura by playing polymock.

M.O.X is nice and the quest is better, that's the only real bonus here.

Was looking forward to this.

Pity it took all of 30 minutes to complete but something is better than nothing and cheers for the tonics and 10k, won't be using M.O.X but I'm hoping this might be a regular thing till GW2.

New content ftw.

I have 2 accounts and i have an imp for both. one is complete and the other one is only the GotY 2007. all my games except for the Prophecy was purchased from plaync.

i have created a new character in pre-searing so that i can check how "good" this imp is. im my opinion, imp is not really that useful because the way to level up in pre-searing is through quests (unless if your working on LDoA) and once you reach level 7 or 8, you wont get anything from pre-searing unless you do charr hunt and the imp is so bad in that area because it will not run away from fight even if you are already miles away from the charrs. so imp is dead in few seconds

i think the imp could have been more useful it they give it the ability to pull the lever that will open the north gate

For detailed information on the Fire Imp, please go to the page here.

Quote:
The Fire Imp is a combat ally "leveling buddy" available to players below level 20. He's designed to help newer players level up, so his level matches the player's at the time he is summoned. Once acquired, the Fire Imp can be summoned for 60 minutes at a time using the Igneous Summoning Stone item, but certain restrictions apply: you can have only one Summoning Stone ally in your party at a time, and you can only use the Igneous Summoning Stone once every 60 minutes per instance—so if you whistle up a Fire Imp, send him into combat, and he dies after 10 seconds, you have a 59:50 wait before you can bring him back again. That is, of course, unless another player in your party summons their own Fire Imp after yours dies, in which case your party won't have to wait long at all before replacing the feisty little guy.
Ways to get the Imp:

  • Purchase Guild Wars Trilogy (North America) or Guild Wars Complete Collection (Europe)
  • Purchase new versions of Guild Wars products in North America and Europe—look for the Fire Imp on the back of the box
  • Purchase the Guild Wars 2008 Upgrade or the Game of the Year Upgrade, available in the in-game store or PlayNC.com
  • If you've already purchased any of the Guild Wars games via the in-game store or PlayNC.com, access to the Fire Imp will be added to your account automatically on September 5, 2008.


Please note that character slots and the BMP are not listed as ways to obtain the Fire Imp.

In Europe, the 1 Million Edition is what you should see on your account, rather than the Game of the Year (GOTY) edition.

Don't get me wrong, I'm glad ANet is still adding content to GW1 - but I don't recall hearing a lot of demand from the GW community for a new Dervish hero, or an aid for leveling up new characters. It reminds me of the concise skill descriptions. They put a lot of work into some additions that are nice, but not really necessary. Aside from GW2, I wish they would spend their dev time on items that truly are in demand, such as the promised Hall Of Monuments changes, or the ability to use more than three heroes at a time.

In summary, thank you ANet for the new content. It really is appreciated. Now can we focus on the 7 heroes?

I bought the 1 million edition of Guild wars prophecies ( not in the online store though ) and I don't have acces to the imp to level my mesmer

So, just to make things clear, you only get one if you bought these items in the past in the online store?

Forget the imp. I just want to know who the hell commissioned R.O.X. in the first place so I can go kick his ass.

I Like the update, A-net, but where's the real villain?

I'd suppose they are saving that for a later update.

Lol tripple post!

You need to have all three games, if you do, MOX is available as a hero.
If you don't, you need to buy more campaigns.

And you aren't allowed to double post.
Or even tripple.
