ZOMG what is this from? Omg oimg om omgogmg gsosoj thank you!!! Gosh it's been so long since we've seen anything... omg... just... thank you!!!!!!!! ^^ --Amannelle 03:07, 24 May 2010 (UTC)

It's just from the larger profession group image. :P Each individual file can be taken from the original flash file.-- Shew ♠♠♠ 03:09, 24 May 2010 (UTC)

Omg really? :O *mindblown* --Amannelle 03:10, 24 May 2010 (UTC)

Sorry to disappoint you Amannelle. But there's indeed nothing new here. Chriskang 03:12, 24 May 2010 (UTC)

I am far from disappointed, Chriskang. :D You showed me something I had never seen before, to me it IS new! ^^ Thank you so much for that. :D Now I can more thoroughly examine these pictures! :3 --Amannelle 03:13, 24 May 2010 (UTC)

the same head

lol, they have the same head: 01 concept art.png File:GDC_2010_daggerbattlestance.png -- Itay Alon • Talk 09:45, 29 May 2010 (UTC)

That's what I've always thought. Looks like the same image, just that his daggers seem to be more in front of him, in the ground.--Spigs 03:11, 5 June 2010 (UTC)

IMHO, the character looks to be a Sylvari ranger, with a branch-like bow, kneeling, possibly looking at the trail.--Warzog Watch your six! 06:41, 16 June 2010 (UTC)

I've been wondering what the scorpion tail-like object behind the character is. Looks like a devourer tail, which would fit a ranger or the other pet-capable class. Also, I'd like to point out that assuming they use each race twice for the profession reveal (8/4 lol) then that would mean they've already used up both humans, and so this could easily be a Sylvari. Eive Windgrace 10:18, 16 June 2010 (UTC)

Ermm... I believe the warrior reveal was a Male Norn. Not a Male Human. Plus, there are 5 races, not 4. How could there be 2 of every race in this image if there's 5 races. AsuranSylvari 10:38, 16 June 2010 (UTC)

^That's what I was wondering too. xD --Amannelle 12:19, 16 June 2010 (UTC)

IMHO, the pattern has been to reveal a profession and some other game related feature at the same time, each time. As there appear, to me, to be four humans, and one each of the other races, I'd guess that the last two humans, with their new professions will be revealed next, followed by the new races with old professions after that, and the last would be a new race and new profession (if there is one.)--Warzog Watch your six! 00:40, 18 June 2010 (UTC)

I believe it was a Norn and a Human revealed so far, not 2 humans :/ AsuranSylvari 00:45, 18 June 2010 (UTC)

I agree with Asuran; I'm quite sure it's a norn and a human. --Amannelle 00:51, 18 June 2010 (UTC)

I see... I was wrong on both accounts. I'll simply blame the 5 AM timestamp... Alright well that logic was flawed completely, so then...I'm still wondering what the scorpion tale-like thing is. I think it could be a bow, albeit with a more interesting design compared to GW1 bows. Eive 01:29, 18 June 2010 (UTC)

The reason I don't believe that the male Warrior is a Norn is because I've only seen one concept image of a male Norn in full armor, and he had his beard sticking out from under the helmet. Most male Norn Warriors have little, if anything, covering their chests. The disclosed Warrior is in full plate armor of a design only used by Humans. IMHO.--Warzog Watch your six! 02:49, 18 June 2010 (UTC)

I might add that if the Warrior was a Norn, wouldn't they have given us information about the Norn at the same time? I think that any images of the new races will be absolutely, undeniably, of that race, and not shrouded in armor to hide it's race.--Warzog Watch your six! 03:05, 18 June 2010 (UTC)

Reasons I think it is a Norn:

• horns are a trademark for Norn helmets
• The size difference indicates an average-size Norn, or an extremely tall human... It is much more likely that it is Norn
• As for the beard sticking out, Norn don't always have beards.
• Although Norn commonly wear armor that reveals portions of the chest, there is nothing that says they HAVE to show a portion of their chest, as we have seen various images indicating otherwise.
• When they revealed the elementalist, they showed Norn Wallpaper, yet they didn't reveal info about the Norn. When they revealed the Warrior, they showed Charr wallpaper and animations, yet didn't reveal any specific info about the Charr. There is no reason I can think of that they would reveal information about the Norn just because they revealed a picture of one as a profession.

Overall, you could be right, it could be 2 humans, but I honestly think it is more likely that he is a Norn. --Amannelle 03:12, 18 June 2010 (UTC)

Did they give more information about the human when they revealed the Elementalist? Did they reveal more information about the human when they revealed the 'human' warrior? No, they didn't. So Why would they release info about the norn? They release more info when the time comes. Oh, and thanks for emphasizing male. I'm sorry, I have a tendency to capitalize words that don't need to. AsuranSylvari 03:23, 18 June 2010 (UTC)

As GW1 has been human-based, and most of us are human, there would be no need to give information on somethin we are already familiar with. As to the human/norn issue, IMHO, I believe that they would provide an image that is undeniably norn, or asura, or charr, or sylvari before they discuss that race. The warrior is unidentifiable as far as it's race, except that it's definately not an asura.--Warzog Watch your six! 04:48, 18 June 2010 (UTC)

"there would be no need to give information on somethin we are already familiar with." Wait, what? So you already know all the biographical questions for humans, as well as every human racial skill, set of appearances, every set of armor, clothing, and NPC? I'm sorry to be so blunt, but honestly, the only things we really DO fully know about GW2 humans are their anatomy and history; much of their society is still unknown to us, and there may be many more biographical questions we haven't even realized. I mean, we don't even know if the White Mantle will be their main opposing faction, let alone more specific details. o.o --Amannelle 11:36, 18 June 2010 (UTC)

IMHO, many of your points are the basic changes between GW1 & GW2, most of which will probably only be discovered during gameplay. My original point was that any new information on humans would be disclosed when the last of the four humans is revealed, followed by data on the four new races. (Which is why I believe the Warrior is a human, and not a Norn.) IMHO, if, and/or when any new human specific information is released, it will be rather minor when compared to the profession who's stats are revealed at the same time.

Granted, the Warrior may indeed be a Norn, but I am unconvinced.--Warzog Watch your six! 13:14, 18 June 2010 (UTC)

Oooh I see what you mean. ^^ Well, like I said, it's not impossible that the warrior is human, I just keep getting more of a norn vibe from it... buuut who knows? ^_^ Maybe the next revealed profession will be easier to decipher lol. --Amannelle 13:22, 18 June 2010 (UTC)

Well, I'm thinking.. If the Warrior is in fact a Human, then there are 4 humans. The Elementalist, The WArrior, and the 2 figures beside the Warrior. Then I imagine the crouching figure is a Sylvari, and the one above it is a Sylvari too, based on the fact that it has a very long cape on it's idividual flash image, and the figure next to it is a Charr. And then the figure right next to the Elementalist is probably an Asuran. ...I'm just wondering, where's our Norn? What I truly think, is that *The Warrior is a Norn *The Elementalist is a Human *The figure next to the Warrior is a female norn * The figure next to the female norn is a male human. *The figure below the male human is an asura *The figure on the left side of the warrior is a sylvari or asura *The figure underneath the sylvari/asura is a crouching sylvari *The one in the far left is a Charr

So we have 2 humans, 2 norn, 2/1 sylvari, 2/1 asura and 1 charr. That's just speculation. I don't think any information about the races will be revealed with the professions just because the professions poster boy is a certain race. I'd rather more info about the races be revealed with more info about the members of Destiny's Edge. I guess the only way we'll truly find out what they are is if my speculation is correct and we get a video covering the professions with them in it explaining their profession or such. AsuranSylvari 14:59, 18 June 2010 (UTC)

I honastly don't understand how people can say that the warrior in that concept art is human? It's clearly norn, I mean look how tall he is compared to the Charr and The elementalist... >.> --Naut 15:03, 18 June 2010 (UTC)

+1 for Naut. -- Cyan 15:12, 18 June 2010 (UTC)

As I see it, The Elementalist, Warrior, and two figures standing to the right, are all human. The hulk to the left is charr, and if it weren't crouching it would be taller than every character there. Which, considering charr are taller than humans, but shorter than norn, IMHO, that makes the Warrior a human. The caped figure is wearing an asura cape, (the three tabs to the left give it away.) The crouching figure below the charr is sylvari, and the small character to the right of the Elementalist is a female norn shape-shifted into a snow leopard, (the tail, fur, and breasts give it away.) IMHO--Warzog Watch your six! 16:28, 18 June 2010 (UTC)

"The size difference indicates an average-size Norn, or an extremely tall human... It is much more likely that it is Norn" I don't get a +1? Q_Q --Amannelle 17:42, 18 June 2010 (UTC)

Naut scored a 1-pointer, he's in the lead. -- Cyan 18:38, 18 June 2010 (UTC)

Nice discussion... Woke my eyes up. I now think that there are two Norn (Warrior and Mesmer,) two Humans (Elementalist and "Paladin,") two Asura (Assassin and "Druid,") 1 Charr (Necromancer,) and one Sylvari (Ranger.) I think that the "Paladin" will be GW2's version of the Monk, and the fur covered creature with the tail being a "Druid"-like profession that can shapeshift.--Warzog Watch your six! 01:34, 21 June 2010 (UTC)

As much as I'd like a Druid class, I highly doubt shapeshifting professions are in, that's what the Norn are for. A Druid would simply undermine the Norn while freeing yourself for other racial abilities. I still beleive the scholars will be professions we are familiar with from GW1. Eive 02:29, 21 June 2010 (UTC)

Norn aren't the only shape-shifters. It likely that there will be a profession with shape-shifting (obviously not focused on shape-shifting). Saying that a shape-shifting profession is undermining norn is like saying the elementalist profession is undermining asura and their Arcane Blast, professions are meant to be more important than race. -~=Ϛρѧякγ (τѧιк) 03:11, 21 June 2010 (UTC)

Well, as I see it, ALL of the original six professions, which were in all three GW1 campaigns, will return in GW2, except that the Monk will become a "Paladin"-like profession, (the second soldier class.) (The concept art of the armored female with a shield and mace is washed in GW1's Monk blue.) The Assassin's Concept art is pure black and white, which makes me believe it's had a severe overhall from GW1, possibly to make it more like the D&D rogue. As to the "Druid," (which would be an adventurer class,) I can find no other explanation for a tiny, fur covered being, with a tail, to be in a Profession Reveal image. (in a Race Reveal image, maybe, but not in one designed to reveal GW2's professions.) IMHO--Warzog Watch your six! 20:32, 21 June 2010 (UTC)

Actually, that supposed Druid you see in common games like World of Warcraft is definitely not one, as there are two figures in the picture. One is appearing to be very small and holding a bow. The other is none other than a pet. I totally agree that your Druid is an Asura Ranger. As for your Charr Necromancer, that is definitely a gun-wielding profession with a pet. Necromancers would not have guns in their hands. The other Asura that you speak of can possibly be none other than the Necromancer. The crouching Sylvari, supposedly, could very well end up being a sort of summoner. As for the Norn Mesmer, well Mesmers do not usually wield a longsword. That is what I discovered when copying the pictures into a Word Processor. But as there are no true Monks, according to recent news, that could be a Human Paladin, but will probably only be able to use smiting abilities against their foes other than healing allies and themselves with traditional Monk skills. For these reasons, and for the hints given out on the professions, I may well be on track.

Wait. I am wrong. That crouching Sylvari is definitely the Ranger. I can see a quiver on its back and a long arm of a bow. There is definitely a pet somewhere in the picture. As for that Asura Ranger, I still do not think it could be a Druid. For now, we can only guess. - Kroff

I think that this is actually an Asura necromancer. When looking at the sandbox versions from User:Pling it looks like the aforementioned "bow" is actually a circle on the ground (as where the bow is placed in the picture, the Asura would need one massive left arm to hold it there from where its shoulders appear to be). Also, looking just to the left and right of the Asura's "torso" it looks like undead hands (looks like muscle and flesh coming off fingers reaching out of the ground). And, since there are 2 instances of these "hands" reaching out on either side of the Asura, perhaps the blob at its feet it a third undead crawling out of the ground. I know we're still speculating based on a blurry picture but I can't see this being the ranger. Can someone take a peek at User:Pling/Sandbox for me and tell me what they think? -- --The preceding unsigned comment was added by 75.158.80.79 (talk).

I think it looks more like this [1] crouched down "like" the assassins in GW1. - 74.171.163.219 06:32, 23 July 2010 (UTC)

Not ranger then,

But yet it seems to have a bow and in in a kneeling position. Something with preparations mayb, since they weren't mentioned in the ranger release. Also could pick up the interruption role, which hasn't been described. Thoughts? ,,"Klumpeet",, 08:20, 15 July 2010 (UTC)

I'm going to think of this as a trap-disabling, guileful thief-like profession. Lighter assassin replacement, more in style with D&D. Also, I think preparations are out Klumpeet, I could be wrong, but they weren't very useful in GW1 anyways. I could agree with interruption however. Eive 08:24, 15 July 2010 (UTC)

(Edit conflict) It's this (it won't be called an assassin, though), as mentioned in the beginning of this page. Erasculio 08:25, 15 July 2010 (UTC)

How can you be sure that assassin(replacement) isn't this? IMO that has both the long cape and dagger visible, but meh. ,,"Klumpeet",, 08:49, 15 July 2010 (UTC)

That is a necromancer : D Erasculio 09:03, 15 July 2010 (UTC)

Alright fair enough, they did have knives as off-hands in gw1. ,,"Klumpeet",, 09:11, 15 July 2010 (UTC)

Looks like it will be a Sylvari of some sort due to the twigs and branches, or whatever they are, but beyond that, it's hard to tell in my opinion, it looks like a crouching figure to me, and you really can't draw conclusions from detail because all the silhouettes are slightly distorted or "broken" if you look back at the professions already revealed. --Odal talk 09:53, 15 July 2010 (UTC)

Necromancer Asura. The twigs you're seeing on the right side are skeletal hands of a summon. -- --The preceding unsigned comment was added by 75.158.80.79 (talk). 15:19, 15 July 2010 (UTC)

Or so you think. :o --Odal talk 15:22, 15 July 2010 (UTC)

<3 Odal, :D ~~Zahra

Well, at least we know this is not the ranger. The ranger profession has finally been revealed as the weird one that looked like an Asura with a pet. Kroff

Preparations have been confirmed to be used by rangers in GW2. Also, preparations have always been very useful. -~=Ϛρѧякγ (τѧιк) 02:24, 4 August 2010 (UTC)
