It was added based off the interview though. And in the trailer we see Jora fighting in melee combat at 1:32 with a giant creature. On top of that based off the descriptions of the Norn it seems silly to think of her as anything but a Warrior.

"Jora is a Norn hero in Eye of the North. She is suspected to be a Warrior." From Guild Wiki.
Anyway, I'm not saying she definitely won't be a Warrior, it was just a thought, as no one else really looks like a Paragon.

That was a presentation 
But no i was talking about the one Arcane quoted though looking at it "Jora is a warrior" doesnt seem to be said so my apoligies.
So with that i'm guessing they based her profession off other things (Concept art with her having a huge sword,her general race being strong and the screenshot that shows her fighting a White Fur Charr in melee combat)

Well in all teh concept art and screens jora has warrior weapons so beliveing she would be anything else is silly.
I doubt paragon because she is from tyria, where as the capaign specific heros most likely got to EoTN from the undergrounds of their respective continent.

Oh, and the second person after Gwen is not a Female Ele like I first thought, look at her hands. That's a Necro. A HOT Necro!
So, looks like IF Gwen is a Hero (crosses fingers), we know at least what the Necro Hero looks like.

The middle of the three big norns looks like my avatar...which I got from the trailer...so I'm guessing he's somehow important...
The Norn with the red hair is seen at the end of the trailer releasing the raven
Ritualist armor from the first pic looks...ummm...interesting...(4th from the left)
I like the looks of that 3rd creature in the 2nd pic...charr boss perhaps? The blonde norn might be a hero, and that one with the helmet could be his upgraded look. (Don't forget, heroes have hero armor upgrades)

In the one link given in this thread of screenshots http://s183.photobucket.com/albums/x...ens/?start=all in some of the pics shows elemental skins on the hands.
On the guildwars site it states "40 new armor sets, including rare, stand-alone pieces ".
Wonder if those hand pieces are some of the rare standalone pieces. Be cool if I could have a full elemental suit. I have always also wanted a juggernaut suit from factions.
As for the rest of the screenies, nothin really to impressive in my opinion.

Time to go shopping/ huntin' Charr. I'm guessing those are all norn armors that have the fur on them.

I hope the real modeled versions that are offical look much better. The "fake" warrior ones are pathetic! In the in-game trailer i also saw what looked to be a female warrior in ebon vanguard armor. I really hope to be able to wear that armor, especially the helm for my warrior .

Definitely not fake.
The armour he posted matches a lot of what we saw in the e3 video and what was released today in the new pictures. But we still haven't seen the fourth Warrior set, so it's possible they get the vanguard armour.. But I wouldn't count on it.

From the videos of the presentation. I can guess the Aztec-esque armor is the Asura one.

Anyone else out there disappointed?
As far as the second link, those are supposed to be armor pixels from the gw.dat file from gwen, put on already used armor skins. So those are not even accurate.
I have high hopes and expectations for GWEN....now its slipping Actually I all think they're excellent. The textures are great quality, and its the exact look I was expecting. The Asuran armor is slightly exotic, Dwarven is very artistic and regal, Norn armor is very vikingish with rune like designs. Its what I've been looking for, I'm sick of horny demon armors and what not, I want to be able to look like an average adventurer, not a flashy fantasy demi-god.

My favourite is new dervish armor.
Look 3. Picture it who remands of viking is very scary

As far as the armors go, it's for sure an improvement. I think the monk armors look better then any before it. Obviously IMHO.
As for the norns, asura etc. heros. It may very well be they are unique and not a *standard* class, since this is a preview of GW2 introducing the new playable races. I wouldn't doubt that they are quite different then the classes GW has given us. Just take the asuras ability to morph.

Krait? something like that The Norn CAN morph. See all those pics of the giant bear in norn armor.
Also you get PvE only skills that allow you to morph into an owl, bear, wolf.

Pretty sure Seissor was talking about GWEN.
In any case, I haven't heard any mention of these new PvE only Morph skills, and was wondering if Seissor could provide the source. (unless he's just talking about the list that circulated a bit back, that had no real information at all...) FoxBat
Stuff like wolven form, urzas (ursa) form, etc. was sitting with the other obviously PvE-skills. They are likely tied to Norn title track.

PC Gamer article stating Norn are shape shifters. http://www.execulink.com/~whisp1/guildwars/norn.jpg and also talked about on wiki. http://gw.gamewikis.org/wiki/Norn "The Norn are a race of shape-shifting half-giants who dwell in the Far Shiverpeaks. They will be encountered in Guild Wars Eye of the North, and will be a playable race in Guild Wars 2." However On wiki it is stated that Asuras havea "FORM" skill in which they can turn into a golem or something so I stand corrected on that part but we will see what that really is when it comes out. http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Asura "players can gain the ability to transform into a Golem with enough reputation with the Asuran, suggesting that Asuran possess this ability as well. " However with that said that may not mean that asuras themselves shapeshift , also doesnt state if this is gw:en related or gw2 related.

We get one as a hero and we meet them in the campaign. Just because we cannot play them, doesn't mean we won't meet them and they won't be able to shape shift.

The reports are incomplete at best, as survivors of these encounters are often too hysterical to recall any salient details Knew i'd seen they can transform, least i know i'm not mad lol Didn't know Norn could shapeshift, didn't know they were magical at all thought they were just big brutes lol

I stand corrected.
I really hope we can do bear form. That would rock. Imagining my monk doing bear form in battle, that made me laugh too hard. But I hope the gollem form we get from the the asura is cool looking. maybe Class and gender specific cool. *hope/wish/pray* I wish I could play as a norn right now though... humans are getting a tad boring. I wanna cook and eat a charr raw for breakfast. on a female character...

The mesmer armor with the slightly open jacket hit the nail right on the head. It's by far the most modern armor set. and unless this
http://s183.photobucket.com/albums/x...female4fq2.jpg is real, then this armor set totally craps all over the mesmer FoW set. HayesA
I'm most looking forward to those crazy fire, or glowing, or crystal gloves that I saw on a few charactors. The fire ones look perfect for my Ele. *glee* ^__^
I cant wait to pick GWEN up.
