my bad 😮 it's late im delirious from gaming all day 😛

(CAM) footage from GamesCom, GUI could use a little clean up, from 3:40 you get a little closer look at the environ and character animation in an unclutered space, it looks gorgeous.

Man, the game looks so complete. I wish they'd give us a release date already.

Ahhhhh. Want already.

*geeking the hell out*

can't wait, i just watched the second day live demo the game is really massive man, it's big, the Dragon was HUUUGGGEEE, bigger than any WoW raid boss, it was immense.

Character creation starts at about 2:00 the video, with some nice early human gameplay.

I cannot wait for this to release, 1st day purchase AND taking a week off work to play hard!

Geez, talk about bombastic! Even the character creation process hits you with enough presentation to get your pulse racing!

Necromancer clearly visible as a class option, I see.

Hell yeah, Anet really pulled out all the stops on presentation, it's phenominal. Everything looks so polished.

See, this is just awesome. The letter concept for laying down your unique choices, the color changing and the whooshing for each choice, wow. Not many games get me excited to make my character.

I am really curious as to what the remaining four classes are. Mesmer has to be one, going by the book...there's the Monkagon and Assassin-type...but no clue what the last could be.

*holds out for Dervish*

And sheesh, that opening cinematic and character creation are insane. I can't wait to see what full creation is going to look like, since the one they're using for the demo is a very stripped down version.

Argh. Waaaant.

It's like... BAM! You are creating a MOTHER****ING CHARACTER! YEAH! TAKE THAT!

AND WE HAVE A GAME AFTER THAT!

RAAAAAR!

Except in picture and sound form.

Oh, and weren't we speculating that one of the last classes would be a Gunner? By no means certain of course.

Cue Two Steps From Hell orchestrated by Hans Zimmer, somehow. That's about how in-your-face it is.

With catering by Emeril and Gordon Ramsay.

A Gunner? How so?

Well, guns are in, and I'd be surprised if they didn't have a specialized class for it. Especially since Rangers appear to not use them at all, really.

I have to wonder if having a specialized class for guns means working up to big-boom heavy artillery.

Our speculation was based upon one of the character class silhouettes resembling a charr carrying a large gun.

Talking of which- here's the link http://www.guildwars2.com/en/the-game/professions/

The one second from the right looks very much like that Mesmer concept art I posted.

Possibly-Gunner is far left; Monkagon is far right.

Warrior
Ranger
Elementalist
Necromancer
Mesmer was seen in the live demo - (charr demo)

Im going to claim;

Assassin (quick-fire melee specialist and thrown projectiles with shadow abilities)
Cavalier (armor + minor casting mostly defensive and smiting, as seen in my sig, gotta pay attention to promo artwork)
Scout (Quick-fire gun specialist, but wears medium armor and can melee when needed with stun, and interrupt skill bases)

Live demo channel, check back here, first live demo was at 10:00 gmt, next one later sometime, check the gw2 twitter for updates and demo times.

Oh, btw, i saw the warrior with the casting ability in the 10 oclock demo, looked like a defensive buff it was a shield with a ghostly aura infront of the warrior - well infront of the warriors as there were about 5 of them with it.
