It looks like ArenaNet added a skills grid to the game, in that it keeps track of all the skills you have acquired. Also judging by the 1st image of the Thief's utility skills, it seems as though you have to earn some kind of skill points, to spend on your utility skills.
Gotta also remember that those are the armors of classes when you choose em in g star playable demo. You can also see the background of the character creation screen.
And ofc you seen them before. They have been in the game for a long time & in concept art. They just made them in the demo to make characters look better.

The armor & background of the picture on the right is none of the released classes and since last class is allrdy prtty much nearly done and they are mostly balancing it now it isn't impossible that the asian press or what ever got sneak peak of the last class.
Only posted the pic to make ppl talk & create some conversation, nothing serious
Well, they probably didn't have to change much with the character models to Easternize them, since races like the Asura, Charr, and Sylvari look so ridiculously silly that they appear to have been created by a typical Eastern market MMO.
Not as silly as the blue and green men in swtor lets be honest.
Ugh, did the graphics suddenly improve or something? The people and the armor look a lot more detailed in the character creation but maybe I'm just crazy lol, don't want to sound desperate
Huh? Well that's interesting. The image that I had just added in my OP didn't show the purple lady. Also it obviously represents the final profession, since it's not an Engineer or a Warrior (you can see them all in the improved character creator). So it's definitely a light-armoured caster and that caster looks very Mesmer-ish.
EDIT: False alarm. Should have known it was shopped, since that's why I do myself.
Anyway, I've added links to where you can find some Koreans playing the PvP, in my original post. Lots of new PvP gear and other little stuff (like some 6v6).

No, you are right. More detailed and the lighting of the character models is much better, producing much more realistic results. Combined with the huge improvement in lip syncing, they have made some great strides forward with character representation. Very impressed.

yeah...no kidding. btw, I have always hated the "but I can't spare anyone" line in the english version...thanks for reminding me of that.
Wow...now I am thinking to myself how CRAPPY the old build looks compared to the new one...Anet is spoiling us rotten.
I used to TL;DR, but then I took a bullet point to the footnote.
It almost looks like they overhauled the conversations completely.. face and gesture animations look AMAZING now o.O
GG ANet!
Eat me!

I Really love the graphical & animation updates they have in the newest demo... just *Drool*
(Deleted the pic, bcos it seems to be an fake. Too bad tho :< )
Failth, while I appreciate your optimism... we have seen those clothes before.

Gotta remember, clothes are not class specific - they are "type" specific (Cloth/Medium/Heavy)

They are pictures taken from the character creation screen taken (mostly) by the press so far.

& I know it's most likely an fake ^^
Agreed, it really makes the game look a lot less cartoony. Brilliant highlightning of the models.
MESMER LIKE CLASS!
If it wont be mesmer like I'll be dissapointed

I really don't see how you got racism from that comment and what he says is typical of asian mmo's....do you see racism in everything?
Yes the green one is necromancer, how about the one right side of it?
Btw. Pic of Shadow Behemoth :P Looks interesting

It's just you. Look up racism, think for a second and then I'm sure you'll be able to explain why it isn't even a slightly racist comment.
MOAR G-Star Gameplay! ^_^
- The Shadow Behemoth Boss Fight (with new mechanics & weapon ugrading)
- The Shatterer Boss Fight (with new mechanics)
- The Tequalt Boss Fight
- Underwater Combat
Someone just uploaded 6 amazing PvP videos from G-Star. Here's the first. Still waiting for the match AreanaNet lost.
EDIT: Holy Sh*t these Koreans are amazing. They've barely played the game and yet we see Elementalists Attunement dancing like a boss. Oh wait, that was Karl, an ANet dev. :P
Sweet mother of... good find!
Indeed it was 2k. I hadn't seen that one yet. Good videos all around. Thanx for the input!
RIP Jimmy "The Rev" Sullivan and Paul Gray.
I had the same thought xD.
Thanks for the links. They are amazing.
I used to TL;DR, but then I took a bullet point to the footnote.
This poorly quality video I found has one of the best fights I've seen. Warrior vs Thief. Who will win? ^_^
A PvP vid featuring the 2 devs (Izzy & Karl) duking it out in an endless battle. Lots of running.
Plus some interesting PvE vids, featuring some improved AI...
- Low level Warrior gameplay
- More low level Warrior gameplay
- Personal Story gameplay
When you see the improvements one can tell it comming closer and closer to release date
I have the feeling its 95% done !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
