I noticed Gamestop has bumped the ship date to 5/16/2005 while EB Games is still listing today as the ship date.

They're trying to fuck with you.
Why would anyone need a strategy guide for this game?

Ya know, There's one goddamn reason that book is good and Prima knows exactly why: Fully revealed map. I've gotten lost more times in the last two days than I care to share. Let's just say, thank god the game is pretty. |

The other thing you need to think about is that any guide written before the release day is probably loaded with bad information. Delaying it was hopefully due to the big changes that were rolled out just before retail. Not that I'll be buying it.

Classic moment last night...
I say to group.
"I think we missed the bonus quest."
"What bonus quest"
"We need to turn around and turn in the armor bits."
Group keeps charging ahead.
I turn around and head to NPC
Cutscene starts
1 groupmember doesn't run from the horde
I make it back first cursing them.

After having played for a few hours, I think a strat guide would be mildly useful, just to help plan out new characters and whatnot. I have no idea what skills are available where, and whether the ones I can buy from the skill trainers are questable (saving me cash and skill points). Plus, I buy strat guides for everything- nice light reading for situations that call for it.  |

I always get them, too, WAP. I have it on order but it won't be out until 5/17.. From what I understand, it'll be a bit more current than most guides... which will be nice for a change.

WTF???
Those bastards at Amazon told me it 'usually ships in 2-3 days'. I took them at their word! Oh well- I can wait. Can't say I have really missed playing GW the past week. Although I do miss the Teamspeak hijinks.

Goddamned Amazon still says it is shipping June 7th. If I find it in a software store tomorrow I will grab it and tell Amazon to get stuffed.

The sad thing is if I were to climb onto the roof of my office, I could probably see their headquarters.

And you still haven't told us what all is in it. Why do you hate us? |

I haven't looked at it yet. I'm assuming there's a bunch of stuff about GW in it. I could be wrong.
I don't hate you. I love you all.
No... really.

I guess if I want to know what's in it I'll have to spend $20. Thanks. |

Just tell poor Shockeye if there is an index.

No index. There's a nifty map poster and a list of emotes, though.
Am I helpful yet?

Who do I have to sleep with to get an index in these strategy guides? |

I don't trust strategy guides. I remember the first strat guide for DAoC.
Eldritches can wear Scale Armor.
Hunters can Shapeshift (though into what, we don't know).
Berserkers should try using their bear form to camoflauge in to the wilderness! Though if there aren't other bears in the area your enemies will probably catch on.
Mentalists should spend most of their spec points in Mentalism. After all, that's their bread-and-butter spec.
