Tonics no longer make noise in a town or outpost.
Thank you!! Thank you!! Thank you!! That was easily the most annoying thing about being in a town.
UPDATE - August 6th, 2009

I get the idea that the updates for the Assassin is Anet subtly saying "Hey, play the damn class with the weapons we intended it to be played with". I prefer dagger chains to using a scythe on my Assassin anyway, so I'm fine with that 
Yay Dervish changes, though none of them are anything I really use. However it's nice to see some attention paid to that profession. Now just do something to Mysticism to make it more useful.
And Comfort Animal = FTW. Now I might actually bring along a pet.

Less damage, slower recharge, same benefit (no blocking), without ending a stance.
Now, I'm not familiar with the use of that particular KD chain, but I'd think with a IAS the half a second wouldn't make a difference.

*Looks at Mshot*
*foams from mouth*
*has heart attack*
*recovers and wonders why Anet never thinks through skill changes or adjusts skills slightly so they are still good without being overpowered*
*continues to wonder how anyone could think Mshot was OP when it was just ever other elite bow attack that was underpowered (Punishing Shot, Poison Arrow, Crip Shot)*
*Loses faith in Anet skill balancers*
Edit:
*sees pet buff and faith restores slightly*
Too bad Comfort Animal buff only applies to PvE. Oh well, my pet might see some PvE time now.
*remembers shitty pet AI and how it wasn't updated*
Thanks anway for the update Anet.
Mshot didn't need a nerf, though. Every other ranger elite just sucks.

AWESOME.

I'm gonna start using Masochism instead of Signet of Lost Souls on my Discord necros now. Better minions, higher minion cap, more damage from Death Nova, more damage from Discord, more Soul Reaping for more energy management.
Worth the tiny sacrifice imo.

so that's why they're using paragons, they heal the lord, lol

I'm happy with the buffs, if only they could be less random...
on a pve point of view, I absolutely love this update, screw the QQers asking for nerfs

No Necro love once again, and gimmick sin builds to run rampant.
Seriously, Necro love please.

The water magic buffs should be interesting for PvP. Flag runners + winter's embrace could be quite ouch. Slippery Ground looks like a decent way to knock down rangers in your base, or enemy warriors. I mean, the two together are better than one meteor to the head, or at least it seems so on paper?

Yeah ummm... Sin spike much? Some of these buffs make already good chains into great ones...
Pet buffs uhhhh, YAY! Once again, something that's been called for since forever has finally been done.
I do apologize to the PvP community, as I can see this seems to be another heavily PvE centered update. However, as a PvE-er, I'm pretty excited at some of the prospects.

OMG! Loves for the pets! Thankyouthankyouthankyou
(It's only been 4+ years.)
I am cautiously impressed with the entire thing. Won't advance more opinion until after I try some of the new-and-improveds out.

OH MY GOD SAND SHARDS!!!
AWSOME!!!
i hope it uses the same animation as Varesh uses with Earth Vortex!!!
Invoke Lightining and Chain Lightning needed that buff! Awsome!
Im finding these pve updates ackward.. i dunno, its kind of losing the GuildWars aspect of it.
Well, it all started with Hard Mode, but lets not get into that.
Glad to see some changes to some other skills, it feels good for players like me who plays with 7 different characters to have new build options.

As far as PvE, not much changed for me, probably because I play a warrior. Melee hero AI is pretty bad, so I'm not going to start using assassin and dervish heroes. Nerf to Finale of Restoration killed one of my fun gimmick hero setups which had ridiculous amounts of shout spamming. Elementalist damage skills still suck in hard mode because of levels/armor, and necros are still better at applying AOE weakness/cracked armor. Masochism buff is useless.
I was hoping for some interesting new toys to play with to make new hero builds, like we had with the ritualist and paragon skill update (which I really liked), but there just isn't anything interesting this time.

Invoke buff is welcomed, though with chain lightning buffed as well, its still not elite-worthy.
Racway got hit with the arcane orders & finale of restoration nerf.
Conviction kills the only excuse I had to run a R/D scythe over a dervish in PvE.
Might throw Ebon Hawk over enfeebling blood on my earth hero...
Selfless spirit...what?

weird, after this update, it seems like the .exe 'double loads' and texmod wont work with it anymore
Dzjudz
Yay for Chain Lightning.
Chocobo1
Tbh, It's not actually awful. But it is once again ignoring PvP and making PvE easier. Actual areas need to be fixed, not buffing skills to make them lol1hitkill.
I thought this was going to be the PvP love update :(. Anyone know when thats coming along?

Anet is effectively making monks a PvP only class. awesome guys, I mean really?
Divine Boon- I'd rather have the old one back. I actually used this with SMITING PRAYERS guys
Shielding Hands- Ok, good. dartboard, but good.
Seed of Life- Still don't care
Selfless Spirit- Nerfed to hell. This was a fine skill for monks, and was usable better then Divine Spirit. Playing actively doesn't work in most PvE. just, no. I don't want a crappy Air of Enchantment for spells.

As for nerfs, I don't know which you might be referring to - uwsc, shadow form in general, discord heroes?
edit: I got too excited over the pet buffs; I've missed all the monk buffs. no comments

Why couldn't they make it 10 seconds? Not that it needed a nerf.
While you're at it nerf Dshot, Savage Shot, Apply Poison, Natural Stride, Lightning Reflexes, Burning Arrow, and Magebane. I hear they're good skills, too.
@ Above Post ^
The buffs to BM in PvE was welcome, but bar compression is still needed in PvP if it ever wants to see serious play. Also, 33% less/more damage taken/given? Pretty mindless if you ask me.
P.S.
