This book is incomplete and does not provide any added value. The
information is freely available on the SWTOR website and perusing
the forums will give you more detail that you will find in this
book.
Class summaries cover only the base classes (levels 1-10), not the
advanced classes (levels 11-50).
Class tips are useless once you get the your advanced class.
Of 351 pages of content, only 14 pages are devoted to ALL of the
base classes, less than 2 pages per class... hardly helpful. The
skill trees and abilities are NOT included.
Of the 351 pages of content, 45 pages consists of 'concept art.'
The maps appear complete but they do not tell the whole story.
There are no map legends on the actual pages despite hordes of
whitespace. You have to flip to the "planet overview" pages to find
the legend. This info is not even in the "How to use the maps"
pages.
Despite showing you where items like datacrons can be found, the do
NOT show you locations you have to visit when you have "unlock"
something to get to the datacron (i.e. the Balmorra Willpower
datacron is show but nothing about buying a key for 5000 credits to
open it).
Also, I could find no mention of Codex entries. I'm guessing that
some fall under 'points of interest' on certain maps but I can't be
sure as the entries I have found in-game didn't appear on the maps
I looked at.
This book is a waste of money if you're looking for help to
understand the class mechanics or are looking for an off-line
resource to study the skill trees or abilities. For example, SWTOR
actually makes use of each skill tree situationally (Watchman for
levelling and DOT's, Combats for pure DPS builds and Force for
crown control) but none for that is covered.
I have no idea who this book is aimed at. I was very disappointed.
