Yeah, that is one of the best packs for sure - You get a great companion for ALL of your characters as well as a nice pack for ONE character.

iambecks1 doesn't typically troll, so this is a serious thread.

Several months ago I purchased a Guardian of Neverwinter Pack and I believe the price was $35.00 U.S. at that time, included in the pack was:
- Robe of Useless Items
As well as:- 3 Character Slots-instead of ONE
andThe Astral Diamonds are gone completely.
The character slots have been reduced from 3 to 1 and the pack I paid $35.99 for is now being sold for $44.99 which is supposed to be 25% off the regular price of $55.99...
I'm way glad I bought it before this "25% off sale"...
I was thinking about purchasing some other pack in addition to the Guardian of Neverwinter pack I had already purchased, but now...
Yeah the AD got removed from the packs a while ago , no idea why and I don't know if any dev has ever given a reason why either , no idea about the character slots.
Nice catch, no wonder they're trying to sell it at "25% off". Pretty sleazy if you ask me. Definitely not a true sale.
Yep, noticed exactly that. No AD, worse price. Although tbh, targets are mainly newbies, they won't know.

The character slots are a surety...
Like I said I purchased two Guardian of Neverwinter packs, one for myself and one for a friend of mine and they each had identical items in them including the three character slots (I still have the screen shot of what the pack contained an a copy of my electronic receipt).
A while later I purchased one for someone as a birthday present and they only received one character slot and no Astral Diamonds.
Not something I'm not inclined to do again any time soon, especially at these prices.

The way of things I suppose, there appears to be no value in loyalty and dedication anymore everything has to be profit driven...
Even for a "free to play" game like Neverwinter.
The founder program ended on May the 30th 2013 , that was when the guardian of neverwinter and hero of the north packs were changed , seen everything now , people complaining about packs that were changed 2 years ago

I'd like to point out that at the time when the Founder Program ended, ALL they did was remove the 'Founder' title from the packs. That's it. The AD was removed MUCH, much more recently, and, - this is important - quietly. They didn't tell anyone they were removing the AD or why, it just vanished one day. And that was within the last few months, NOT two years ago.
Also, people claiming the guardian pack had three character slots before - are you positive? I bought the guardian pack back when it was still the Founder pack, before title or the the AD was removed and I thought it only came with one slot, but, if you have some proof that it was three once, I'd be interested in seeing it (mostly so I can be sure how many slots I will have before I hit maximum, lol).
You probably bought it during an earlier sale. I do recall them being on sale in living memory. Regular price for the Guardian has been $60 since beta.
They did remove the AD though.
Edit: Guardian has also only ever had a single character slot. You get three slots with the Hero pack.

I sez they're wrong.
Since Gateway is back up, the discounted packs that I don't own appear to be entirely in line with normal pricing via Arc. And I'm not gonna whine about people being able to buy them with Zen (and therefore don't have to use real money). I've been using the stuff in the Guardian pack for fugging YEARS. It was good value at the time.

I went to go look - it does not. That's probably an oversight and hopefully that changes in the future, but right now, it's an iLevel 83, level 60 weapon.
Yeah, I'm leaning towards them being mistaken. I'm fairly sure it was always 1 character slot. I'm actually kinda glad people have the option of using zen to buy these now, even if I paid cash for all of them up to the Dragonborn Legend pack.
I checked during lunch and you are right I did make my purchase during a sale period... so my apologies all around for thinking the prices of the packs had been sneekily increased.
I've never purchased the Hero of Neverwinter pack, the only two packs I've ever received are the Guardian of Neverwinter and the First Time (ZEN) Buyers pack... whether intentionally or by glitch, I did get three character slots from one of them, as did the first person I bought one for... unless I'm totally messed up.
Which is not outside the realm of possibility I suppose ~
Oh well, still a few packs I don't yet have, that I've been wanting to get.
So I guess you need all the active bonuses companions can provide, even while unsummoned? You know, things like extra Crit severity, control bonuses, extra stats, stuff like that. Your 5 companion slots are, basically, gear slots. And the right mix of companions, even if you never summon them, can round out your build just as much as the gear your wear and the enchantments you slot.
