Three questions abt this pack:
1. Does it give 1 free character slot?
2. Does companion conrol resist bonus of 50% works correctly in IWD PvP?
3. What else is useful in this pack in the long run?
Thanks -)
P/S. Big thx for Cryptic for making this pack accesible via Zen Market! Great idea!

2) no idea, you'd have to do your own testing. I've never bothered using it as an active companion due to the fact that there have always been better options imo.
3)Account-wide epic mount, if you haven't already purchased one from the zen store then this alone pays for a bit more than half of the pack.
As for the 50% control resists (shortens cc time) - I dunno about PvP - however: active bonuses that have different affects for PvE and PvP will often specify this by stating "[different] against other players" The Sylph's active bonus says:
"50% Control Resist"
It does not say "chance".
It does not say "once per every xxseconds"
It does not say "xx against other players"
It says: "50% Control Resistance" - full stop. Which is why in the 'old days" people complained it was "over powered" and "unfair" and "pay-to-win" and all that nonsense. I consider it the best (as in "must-have") companion of the entire possible lot. Even better than the Guardian of the North Dire Wolf (which gives 5% chance to interrupt - but only a chance).
I *presume* (could be very wrong) that it works as advertised against all hostiles, including other players in PvP: you break out of cc in half the time of normal.
Can anyone expalin me, what "interrupt" actually means? What is going on with enemy when i "interrupt" him?
it means that if the enemy is in the process of casting a power you will stop them .
Not only that but you get a race unlock, account wide unicorn mount and costume (if you are into that sort of thing) all for the same price. The guardian pack came with a bunch of useless junk, only the mount and companion was worth anything (IMO).
The Dire Wolf's interrupt is a chance at stopping an enemy's action which can be interrupted - in other words, there is a "window of opportunity" during which you can interrupt enemies, and even then, there are some enemies that are immune to it.

Feywild - the Sylph works well in PvE. Can't say either way for IwD PvP because I never tried taking her out of the slot. The Unicorn is a purple steed, and unless you you take a dislike to the looks you won't ever need another mount for pracical reasons - until maybe the mount-in-combat thing will come up.
The mount is 110% speed. It's just not a purple epic color. I wish it was a heavier horse like the Clydesdale though.
I did find that the dire wolf is actually pretty good for my MoF CW, since she has all those DOTs. Makes a good physical companion right now too, with good CC type affect with the light knockback. Haven't leveled it to 30 yet for the "take down" affect but I always enjoyed that skill.
