Does anyone know if this is going to be released over this side of the pond, i.e. England?

Guide sounds quite useless in sense that this is online game with plenty information from many other sources.

Same here - Minipet, plus the newest gw2 info..that will be out of date again in 3 months.

the only good thing about that is the mini because:
1. If you need a walkthough for EotN you are reallly bad at this game and should uninstall
2. PvP like a pro.. umm right.. imo you become a pro by playing a lot and over time you build up experience, and that is what makes you good at PvP.
3. The artwork could be nice, as long as it doesn't include tons of cool things that didn't end up in EotN... that just makes me sad, lol

The pvp like a pro could be a great intro how to basics for a pve player getting in to pvp.

What is going on?
The hall of monuments is supposed to display mini pets. Now how in the hell can we in the other side of the world display destroyer mini pets when can't buy a north american mag.
The mini pet shrine is perhaps the hardest monument to complete. In order to fill it you need to travel around the world buying american/european/chinese game mags for the free mini pet offers.

I bought the mag on my way home today!!
sold my destroyer 100k + 25E...
ANYWAYS before you guys flame me for some reason I'll post a little something-somthing about the PVP like a pro...
SKILL Combinations
Steam + Glyph of Immolation
Withering Aura + Heavy Blow
Crippling Slash + Knee Cutter
Grenth's Aura + Pious Fury
Weapon of Agression + Spirit's Strength
Distracting Strike + Sundering Weapon
Aura Slicer + Sundering Weapon
Shrinking Armor + Drain Delusions/Shatter Delusions
It's only 3 pages long..and not even 3 full pages there are still pics in there. It doesn't really tell you HOW to PVP like a pro...it's sort of like a pvp for dummies. It talks about the rewards, skill balances mostly.

Buying in-game gold for real money is against the eula but buying a minipet for real money and selling it for in-game gold is Anet approved. wtf?
DarkNecrid
There's a difference:
The first is buying a virtual item (Gold) for real money and isn't approved by Anet.
The second is getting a virtual item for free (Minipet - understand the minipet comes free and Anet makes no inherent money off of this deal) and selling it for in-game money (Gold) and is approved by Anet.

I love how people will try and complain about anything... I'm picking it up for the art. Even if there wasnt a mini pet. The minipet seals the deal though.
oracleofwoe
From what i can gather, all Europe get is this. which isn't really much of a compromise but i would guess that a handful of the info in this U.S special edition will be in these magazines.
Mohnzh
How did you buy the mag today? The press release says it doesn't go on shelves until the 25th.
BoredJoe
So the destroyer mini pet is in every issue then.
MelechRic
It's already on newstands. I was in game this morning and someone had a destroyer mini-pet cruising around in Sifhalla.
Meh...
Meh...
ForgeWhelp
Not on my local stands yet...
Aera
But I wanna PvP like a pro AND I CAN'T GET IT!
Can anyone copy it, so I can read it for the fun of it? xD

jon0592
Aera, I would but I don't know if I'm allowed to directly copy it..
But really, it's all junk. The only valuable stuff is the artwork + mini pet. Take my word for it.

I wanna get it soon enough to sell the mini pet for more than 6k
Mag looks cool too i guess.

The mini destroyer has 'holographic' effect, so the price won't drop to 20K 
I sold mine for personal reason (well... I was broke)
I haggled for higher price than normal (Tonberries like doing that)

gib teh gw2 infoz plaz !!1!

trielementz
the copy i picked up (i'm in singapore) says "foreign" and goes for 4.99usd (wahahaha @ price). so i'm guessing other countries will get it as well.
as for contents, here's what i posted in another thread:
1) Destroyer code is printed on a page somewhere towards the end. 1 pet/ account. prices are absolutely insane now. sold both of mine for an obscene profit. definitely will buy 1 back later.
2) Almost 1/2 of the magazine features concept art. Many breathtaking pieces. A pity that many 2-page art cannot be scanned properly though, because they aren't printed on pull-outs.
3) A EOTN walkthru up till Great Destroyer. About 2-3 pages on heroes. Meh.
4) A section on Charr history. my eyes glazed by the 2nd column really.
5) A PVP primer. hm.
6) The prologue lore for GW2. Not going to post any spoilers here, but this section had the most interesting writeup.. It describes the fate of Tyria, Cantha, Elona as well as what happened to races that we've met in EOTN, post-EOTN and pre-GW2. The lore bridges up the storyline for all campaigns and leads up to the premise of GW2. You get a clarification of the destroyer cutscene after beating the EOTN boss. Basically the whole section acts like a xxx-years later epilogue to EOTN/ prologue to GW2. Very interesting reading, though I was a bit depressed by some bits of the tale.
7) Finally, you'll also get a teaser of how the bonus mission pack is supposed to work. It also hints at how future content for GW1 may be like.
There're also some references to a cancelled 4th campaign called Utopia, and some art related to that. Not sure if it's new but I have never heard of it.

1 - Who are you to tell me that if I need a guide to play the game I should unistall it?
I got offended by your quote, sorry but not everyone is good as you at this game!A guide would help me to navigate the game a bit faster and better.
See how different we are I don't care much about the mini-pet!
I only hope it [the special edition of the magazine] will be available in Australia ......the PC Gamer is, so my hope is high.
jon0592
Trielementz pretty much summed it up.
Teh best concept art is this certain one of Melandru....simply breathtaking. I prefer it over the current AoM.

anyone got a scanned copy anywhere on the web like the first GW2 preview??
Chipp
Does anyone know if this will come through the mail? or will we have to buy it off the newsstand?

But wait a tick.... *scans list*
NO AUSTRALIA!!! AGAIN!!!
Thanks heaps anet, seriously... Nice to know my AU$400 spent on all 3x Collectors Editions + EotN + Pre-orders etc is appreciated by you guys... You claim to be 'balanced' etc, yet you nerf a farm that has casual players making an extra 10k for the week, but you give away for FREE something that people can charge 1000 ectos for? Nice going, and to think I constantly defend you guys...
Metal Herc
Is it possible to unlock more than one mini destroyer on one account? A friend of mine gets all of these kind of magazines, but doesn't play GW. Might as well use it if I can.
Onarik Amrak
I got myself a copy of the magazine today.
Other than for the GW2 lore, it's not so great.
In the GW:EN walkthrough guide, the build they recommend for Pyre has:
Barrage + Read the Wind...
Edit:
Thought I'd also mention that the Pyre build also includes Healing Breeze and Orison of Healing.
Same goes for their Jora build.

I found the GW2 lore mildly interesting. At least the GW:EN end-game dragon got revealed.
Oh, and for those interested, the canceled Utopia had a heavy "mesoamerica" feel to it. Think Mayans, Incans, etc..
@Metal If its anything like the previous magazine minis, then no. Multiple codes won't give you more mini-destroyers after you get the first one.
SaucE
I picked up a copy of the mag this evening.
Location: New Brunswick, Canada.

So basically, us people who've paid the exact same money, if not more, to play Guild Wars get shafted again? Or is there a plan to release a similar magazine over here too?
