Update 3rd March - It's here!

No word on if they improved the melee hero AI?

Awsome update. It probably comes a few years later than it should have, but still the effort is appreciated.

Wait so $10 for a merc hero slot?? Seems almost as ridiculous as $10 to change the appearance of your character...kinda tired of EVERY microtransaction being the same price for completely different features.
That being said...i'll still freaking buy it

LOL @ people asking more than 200g per point for alcohol:
Dwarven Ale, 200g at merchants, endless supply.

This is really pretty amazing all the way around... if only because it's such an enormous update. Really makes me wonder what they might have planned for the Anniversary. LOL
VERY well done, ANet. Not everyone is going to be happy with every change, but it does feel like there is something for everyone in all of this.
Hope you guys are taking a long weekend off to celebrate your hard work! You've certainly earned it!

I just aggroed 3 groups of mobs with my current 7 hero setup, and well let me just say I love this update.

I'm...surprised by the Drunkard update. I was hoping for an on-screen drunkenness meter, a la Grog. If people want to spam their ale, that's fine, but for those of us who simply cannot play with post-processing effects on while drunk, now we absolutely have to rely on timers to know if our drunk skills are still effective? *sigh* I'm all for enabling people to max their titles, but it can't all be about the titles. Ale does have other uses.

I lol the new changes with the titles....just zipped up from 9000 minutes to 9800 minutes in about 1 minute.
However I just got booted with about 6 enemies left to kill in Jaya Bluffs and can't log back in for some reason. Wahhhh!!!

It's amazing to see people say Drunkard took "hard work".
If you people think clicking your mouse once per minute when a timer tells you to is "hard work", you really need to get out more. Like, at all.

Bug?
Friend status is wonky, guildies showing as offline in Friends list while they are online (and showing online in guild status). They need to go offline and back online to show back up.

DC-ing like crazy too.

And to think I feeling like I was getting on top of the huge amount of stuff I wanted to do, they go and add more to the pile...
But it still beats paying $15 a month to grind mobs over and over (and over) just to stay competitive...

Does this mean someone might actually buy my booze finally?
I'm still trying to wrap my brain around a full hero team that might even include more than 3 of a single profession if I elect to buy the mercenary slot(s).

I love this update:-)! I find it very handy that you can say you’re ready or not in Party screen. And just maxed my drunkard title. Saves me allot of time.

Lol I have survivor on my ranger, now my Assassin can go and get it.
But it's going to be awhile for him, with the way Survivor is now, I'm never going to grind for that title again, you can go and play the game legitimately now instead of worrying about loosing serious progression.
Also finally 7 heroes, Henchmen can be removed from my team.

I was 100 miniutes away from max drunkard.
GAH! I would have liked to have been able to finish it off "legit."

You have to talk to the Mercenary Registrar to enable the mercenary heroes for each of your characters which is kinda annoying.

Can Mercenaries use pve skills?
inscribed
now that henchmen are going to see a sharp decline in use, how about opening up devona and company as heroes?

A Disappointing and a good update at the same time. I Recall the idea of having a minion UI since when? 3 years ago?, Same thing for survivor, had this new way of the title in mind for years and I believe someone suggested it the same way aswell.
It's a SHAME these improvements come out after years. Just when GW2 is to be released this year (most probably).
As for the drunkard, 7 heroes and pre searing updates they're good implements even if with 7 heroes you promote less social gameplay and more Singleplayer online game, but considering the game's state I guess it's forgiveable.
Login with custom status is something I really wanted to see. As for mercenaries and embark beach I still haven't seen it, can't judge on that.
Would really like to see how mercenaries work before shelling out the money.
I may have been a bit harsh in my judgement about this update, I realise the devs worked hard for it, It's a good update overall but I think Anet added some of the features a little too late for the game's current state.

| In the event of their untimely passing, your title will maintain its current rank; to progress it further, you'll need to start over. For example, let's say that your character achieves the second rank of the Survivor title before dying. Your title-track progress will still display second rank as your current best. To achieve third rank, however, you'll be starting over again from zero experience. |

Can't wait to get off work and play GW! Thank you A-Net.

"Added a "Ready" status drop-down box to the party window."
5 years too late but better than never i suppose.

I bought the mercenary 8 pack, though I only have 5 PVE characters.
If I make more PVE characters, do they need running through the game to use as heroes, or can I use a new PVE charater anywhere on my main?

Man I was sceptical, but two major updates in two weeks turned me around. Well done ANet!
