Hmmmm we'll see if this makes a difference in terms of being able to do master with heroes n hench. But I won't get excited. 
Good fix though and well spotted.

Huzzah! 
No more Tanking Dunkoro and Tahlkora!

I've also noticed that Imperial Commendations are now back to their old white color, instead of gold. I imagine it's to prevent them from being scammed off as Scrolls of Hero's Insight.
Though, I remember them having a red wax seal in the middle originally...

Furthermore, I'm pretty sure the graphics used for inscriptions has also been changed slightly with this update. It still looks the same, but the coloring and shading looks a bit different now. Miscellaneous stealth updates FTW.

All I can say is thank God. HM was really hard with Alesia making crappy healing decisions and not kiting. Now she just makes crappy healing decisions. >_>' Well, I can cover for her in that sense, at least.
Also, has anyone heard the new axe sound? I usually play in windowed mode without sound on, so I have no idea what they sound like, but I did see a thread the other day that said the axe sound was kinda screwy.

I'm actually more excited about the axe sounds compared to the hero bug. I'm very happy they changed them.
Edit: They're not too good. At least Random Arenas, etc. have new and cool loading screens. Can anyone turn that into a wallpaper? Wtb.

Hopefully, since ArenaNet has given the PvPers their fix, can they finally give us the Sunspear skills and the Hard Mode tweaks?!
Also, I don't think the update fixed the anti-farm problems mentioned in other threads...

Also a stealth update included new sorting of titles by:
Max (highest to lowest tiers)
Clickable Non-max (highest to lowest tiers)
Non-clickable in progress (highest to lowest percent of the bar filled)
Enjoy.

Now I have Legendary Skill Hunter garbage on top.
wtf :/

Yea, it's a good update, nothing extraordinary, but a good one. Now...if they could just fix Keen Arrow....
RSGashapon
I think Titles have been that way for a while now, Dragonious...
Now if Anet would just swap the Faction and Titles tabs around, so Titles show up first when you hit H, I would be a very happy GW player.

Ah, thanks for the clarification Zing.
And what do you mean Xenex, do what? Sort the titles? They sort themselves automatically.

Ow ok i see what he meant, for a second i misunderstood him saying that you can now sort them using those options, but i see they are already sorted like that.
Silly Warrior
This is very odd, upon installing the recent patch, I'm unable to login.
"Already Running
Guild Wars is unable to start because another copy is already running on this computer, or because the application has insuffcient rights to sucessfully detect whether another copy is already running on this computer"
What the heck??!
I rebooted to try and solve the problem, no sucess. I'm unable to now login in!
Is anyone else seeing this...help

I was able to log in to run the patch. However, I was dismayed of how BADLY the heroes did. I was hero/hench vanquishing at Regent Valley. At one point, I died. Then the oddest thing occurred. Koss and Drunkoro just stopped doing anything. They stood over my body, looking at me for 15 seconds. The grawls aggroed them and they still stood doing nothing. I tried to manipulate their bars but it was too late. They got smoked.
If this is an improvement, sheesh. They went from not kiting to not doing anything.

yeap the heros and henchies are still fubarred.
Bryant Again
I confirm that yes, heroes and henchies are still borked.
I'd rather that they not kite than not cast.

IlikeGW
Mine work fine, the little angels. Hench are still mediocre players at best, but I don't have problems getting wiped because of no kiting or responding anymore. One thing I have to ask, is your build set up to protect from the serious bitch slap of hard mode? If it is and they aren't working still, damn that sucks. I'm glad mine do. 
Bryant Again
Monks are set to passive, everyone else is set to guard. The warriors seem to be fine, but Zhed and Talkora are having hour-long brain farts.
Orphan Anthem
Did most of Tyria HM with just me+hero's+henchmen anything i couldnt handle on my own i got a guild member or someone off my firstlist to go duel hero's with me.
erfweiss
Bryant, mine was set the same way. Olias and Koss to guard, Drunkoro to passive. Although, from the way Koss was going, not sure if Leroy Jenkins is a setting. When he did respond he thought he was Hercules, soloing against 4-5 enemies.
seut
two rules of data representation:
-if a list surpasses the length of a page: add a scrollbar
-if it surpasses the length of two pages: add sort options or categories..
Anet, please sort titles into collapsible lists for
+PvP/account wide titles
+Tyrian titles
+Canthan titles
+Elonian titles
..this doesn't take long to program and please add a [collapse all] button next to the skill sorting menu.

perhaps I chose the easiest zone to vanquish, but I totally breezed through Watchtower Coast with Alesia, Tahlkora, SS necro hero, MM necro here, and myself as warrior.
Guess I should try Old Ascalon and really put them to the test.

Nexus Icon
Another stealth update: select inscriptions have different graphics; it's now easier to tell apart ones for spellcasting weapons and ones for melee weapons.
Torqual
Well, this update is a list of everything I wanted....
Will just have to get home and see whether the execution is as good as the theory. Good to see that the moan thread I started on axe sounds has prompted a response.
Moaning on Guru FTW!

Heheh some guy in Europe was laughing at me because withing *seconds* of the update, I was in the Great Hall with my paragon looking for skills.. and then grumbling loudly.

So, try not and whine about something you obviously never done before.
Cassandra Tanacel
which is a fair comment. But surely there is some testing that should pick this up
And moaning is unhelpful
Constructive critisim is helpful, even if its unwanted.
If it does resolve some off the "Rambo" nature of heroes and hench ill be most pleased, as most of my guildies are not interested in hard mode so its fairly certain im soloing with Heroes for much of hard!

Try Diessa Lowlands, which is full of charr (who are now hard) for more of a challenge.
Some enemies went from realy easy to really challenging in hard mode (for example the kournan army) but a lot stayed about exactly the same in their difficulty.
Diablo???
another stealth update: Dyed Straw Effigies now reflect their dyed color in the inventory slot.
Sir Skullcrasher
This update is cool, but I don't noticed any difference with the axe sound!
savage vapor 33
When you use a different skill, i was testing critical chop, it made a sound like crunching metal. LoL. Also i think when you axe criticals it sounds like you are smooshing a bug or something, i never really had my effects turned up loud, so this is all pretty much new to me.
Agree on heroes, they are really messed up, not attacking and stuff.
