Some unofficial gameplay footage from gamescom. Looks quite good, a basic rundown (with some stuff already forgotten no doubt...)

- The interface is mostly certainly work in progress, my own personal opinion is that I wish the buttons were bigger, just because I remember them being big in GW and that stood out somehow, or something.
- The game does look as pretty as the trailers make it out to be.
- Camera seems more pulled in from the original GW, though this might have been the person demoing the event and not the camera in of itself.
- Combat has a certain level of impact, though that first scene where the guy was ressing everyone didn't look that amazing if I'm honest. It got better towards the end though.
- Those cannons look fun to use, I remember in a brief look at the trial for WAR I had fun with the cannons in that.
- Map travel is back! Saving lots of pointless hours of walking once again, though I believe it will come with a small fee to stop it being abused.
- I hope those enemies weren't attacking as part of the demonstration, hopefully in the full game when the players are retaking that fort it'll be a proper brawl rather than look like a piddly level one starter zone.
- Looting enemies has gone from the more Diablo style system where items instantly drop on the ground, to looting the individual corpses. I guess that was pretty much a cert - having lots of item drops on a real Persistent world would probably cause problems.
- A man walking past during the display had a nice hat. Not much else I can say about that really.
