LtGeneralGezlin Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 My copy came last week (It almost got delivered to my evil next door neighbors house, but I stopped the UPS guy in time.) It's a fantastic book, and filled with awesome info. I also love the full page photos for the class ships. I want a poster size one of the Smuggler's ship.

DraonaiMimnov Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 So how many loot card packs, or gambling boxes do you need to get this? And which loot card pack, and gambling box drops it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rankyn Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 I'd love to have it but I've sworn off non-digital books. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lexlo Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 Do want! After reading the Gnost Dural book that came with the CE, I'd happily buy this. (And I *HATE* reading) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tatile Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 (edited) This is only available in the US? Ah, no, wait. It is on the UK Amazon. Edited October 15, 2012 by Tatile Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Altheran Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 Just wondering... Isn't the front cover artwork a time paradox regarding the fighting protagonists ? One died during the Return Trailer, while at this time the other one wasn't at the same place and died several years later in the Decieved Trailer.

It was possible that they had fought in events prior to the trailers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
limenutpen Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 I am waiting for this along with Drew K's new book located in the TOR timeline. I hope they involve the game more in these stories though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were born to die, let those poor guys have some more 'screen' time without asking uncomfortable questions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dawginole Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 Seems like this would have worked much better in a digital format that could have been updated as the game expands. In 2-3 years there will be a huge amount of content and storyline not in the official encyclopedia as expansions are released. :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evensong Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 I got the book over a week ago. I love it. Lot of background information which make the game more interesting and alive for me. This is one of the greatest encyclopedias I've seen, darn it is the greatest one!!!!I love it!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRDK Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 Pre-ordered mine and got it from Amazon last week as well, fantastic info and great pictures.

Deewe Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 The book looks really nice. Honestly I'd rather have this than the crapistic statue in the CE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graydon Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 The book looks really nice. Honestly I'd rather have this than the crapistic statue in the CE I have both Encyclopedia and statue. Malgus is cool, but the book is way cooler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahnog Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 I have it and think it's great. However, it is less of a guide and more of a lore book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
