New set of videos released from GamesCom for GW2! All of the videos feature new additions we haven't seen yet, in live gameplay form. There are 9 videos in total around 4 minutes in length each and all are from cam, and so aren't HQ..but aren't bad either. There are usually ads every other video as well.
Watch them below...or read what I've got below...probably didn't get everything, but...it seems like I got what's important, and I was going to watch them all anyway, so I thought I'd go ahead and write a brief summary as I go along, haha. Sorry if it's long though, and of course there are spoilers, if you care about that kind of thing...

- Necromancer confrimed (Whoo!) and shows that there will be 8 proffesions total.
- Large character creator, allowing for creation of character backstory, involving your position in society (Commoner, nobility, or street rat), your past events (3 shown, sister is dead or gave up a chance to join the circus, weird I know, but...I forgot the other...bleh), and you are able to pick between the different gods to decide which one governs over you (seems to be all the same gods from GW, player chose Melandru), after which you pick a name (First and Last, just like GW). Appearance editor was not shown, but is promised to be, to paraphrase, limitless. Leveling up is shown at least once in the video, and when you level up you seem to gain new spells/skills and are allowed to invest points into your attributes (Intelligence, etc.)
- Starts with Elementalist opening, showing the characters creation, opening scene, and followed by the starting area. Movement plays a huge role in character combat, with some spells being able to be casted on the fly. Some spells seem to be able to be "charged up" before cast for varying levels of strength, seen when the Ele charges up one of her water-based attacks. You can now dodge roll.
- There are 4 hotbars affixed above your usual skill bar which appear to allow you to switch elements on the fly. Shown by the onstage character switching from casting fire spells to water spells, each having thier own bar, and switching back and forth throughout the video.
- Reviving now seems odd, with any character able to now revive..apparently without a ski...
