edit: You can use them at all places you can use henchmen.. so you can take them into gvg for example, but not into FoW or w/e.
also, there will be new titles in nightfall other than protector/explorer. That's about all I remember from her visit :P
CONFIRMED - heroes will be able to travel to Tyria and Cantha

bit hard too read on this background, but the message is clear

My paragon is going to blow through prophecies and factions so quick its going to be funny. Wonder if our heroes can get infused?

Nice to have it confirmed, I figured it would be true because during the event Cantha and Tyria characters had hero slots in there inventory and the 1 2 3 flags. We're still gonna have to go to Elona with each character to get them though.
Heroes are truly a godsend (I'm tired of ragequitters and 12 year olds)

You are thinking too small, Tadace. "Protector of Tyria" will be ridicolously easy to get. "Protector of Cantha" will be much easier to get (due to less incompetant people). The Cartographer titles will also be pretty easy to get, since you can blow through fights.
Kind of A Big Deal won't be as big of a deal. Although I'll live with that.

I won't mind just being able to do missions on my assassin, assassin is so much fun to play but nobody wants to group with them..

So it won't be that much easier for most but it will be for those who are experienced with the game.

Heroes are many times more powerful than their henchie counterparts due to their extreme customizabilty. Best of all, they are infinitely more reliable than ANY 12-year-old rage quitter!

HERO's in Cantha and Tyria thats awsome....
I am sure you all also realize you can use henchman controls in Cantha and Tyria as well don't you? This alone will be awsome..
I realy hope there will be an Assassin & Ritualist HERO option...

Anet has set the bar really hight for this chapter and it has me already wondering what they will have to do to top this one.
Diablo???
This is the most exciting news I've heard since Macaroni and Cheese was invented. Now what would kick even MORE arse, is if they also introduce special heroes originating from Cantha and Tyria... but I serious doubt they will.
oh well, good enough

ChildeOfMalkav
Hmm you're right. Personally I think it should be allowed access in all the chapters and not just a Nightfall specific thing...even though I'll have access to Nightfall anyway.

Heroes are one of Nightfalls biggest selling points...take away the "exclusivity" of heroes and Nightfall is starting to look a bit standard already..
ChildeOfMalkav
Oh I understand gimmicks and selling points. But it still doesnt change my opinion that this should have been a GW thing. Not just a Nightfall specific option. But I'm not going to complain since I'm getting Nightfall anyway and backwards compatible. It just seems odd that such an important feature is chapter specific.

Anyways, great to hear this news, I was really hoping we would be able to take them to the other continents.
Thanks to the OP for posting this, Gaile for confirming it, and Anet for making it

This is exciting news, henching missions will be much easier. And the missions you've gotten bored with can be played differently. Possibly making them enjoyable again.
If eight Nightfall characters took their heroes into a Tyrian mission, for example, Aurora Glade. Everyone sends their hero to protect the middle attunement pedistal, while they run around to kill the demogogue ...naaa that would make it too boring.
I'm sure there are some missions that having eight players and eight heroes would be fun; not too easy--maybe in sorrows forge or the underworld. Also,farming or chest running would be alot faster.
The possibilities for variety and new ways to play are endless.

Oh wow... this is amazing... it is like both dream and nightmare comes true at once!! (I hate offline game, but this is online while behaving like offline with no monthly fee!)
An Offline-Mass-Multiplayer-Role-Playing-Online-Game, aka OMMORPG, had just been invented.

The Tyrian mission bonuses will be even easier to solo when you can tell the heroes where to stand >_<

I think I'll finally be able to do "The Last Day Dawns" now(it's been sitting in my quest log forever). Thanks Anet. 
CalypsoX
They had to do this. Otherwise, people trying to do stuff in Proph. and Factions after Nightfall release would need bots spamming "LFG" for them. Kudos Anet.

Really glad to see this confirmed! It was logical but I was trying not to get my hopes up too high without an official word. Happy Happy Joy Joy
