Henchmens really doing my head in now...they've become bugged

I don't know what the patch was suppose to fix or how the patch was suppose to fix the henchmans getting stuck problem but seriously they seem alot worse now and have cost me tiring missions to go waste. One was when I was doing the mission with one of my characters in Ice Caves of Sorrow, few henchmans always got stuck at this specific place where you go sort of slightly uphill, past the fences, the place where you blow up this gate. I spent about 15mins walking about that area trying to free the henchamns, one gets freed, other gets trapped...etc, I just couldn't get all of them so I did the rest of the mission with 6 henchmans.

The above wasn't too much of a problem I got around to it but later on I decided to go to the mineral springs to get some elites for my new seconday profession and well you should all now that place is a bitch and takes long to travel. I got quite far and the boss I needed to get the skill from wasn't far either, at this time I had -60dp and around this corner I died with few other henchies and was expecting to get rezzed by my healer who was at full health. Then I realized she and 2 other henchies were stuck as this bridge behind me around the corner, got so annoyed...then I was hoping maybe the patch migh have added a feature that rezzes me automotically to the nearest shrine after a certain time but sadly it didn't. All that long time wasted and was close to the boss .

I've been so annoyed, these few days henchies really have been buggy and I usually like to use them for just about everything, if it just happened once or twice I wouldn't have minded but its happening quite a bit in the last few days. If good groups came by often henchies wouldn't be needed and you can't always rely on your guild or friends to come and help you on annoying long quests everytime, they have other things to do as well.

Seriously something needs to be done, henchmans didn't get stuck this much atleast to me before the patch.

I go stuck for the first time ever yesterday.
I'm not sure if this is related to the patch, but from what you are saying, it might be.

Honestly i'm suspecting the patch, I didn't have much trouble before with them but these days they just get stuck alot.

This has happened to me and my friend numerous times, though not on the specific quest/mission you were on. I have had this problem pre-patch and other problems with henchman too. I've had henchman stuck in walls in the air you name it. Ive had them stuck behind barrels. Ive had other problems with NPC not just henchman like enemies being stuck on borlis pass and the gate not opening because there is no possible way to kill them......Anet needs to fix alot of things with how NPC's react and traverse with the envrionments in the game.


EDIT:Though the problem has gotten better.

oh yeah, if you ever walk by a post or a door, the henchman would sometime get stuck... also i was walking over a bridge and there were charrs under it. And so i thought that my group would just keep moving but no..... somehow my henchmen start attacking invisible charrs. i ran down to the low level and see that the charrs under the bridge is attacking .. but my henchmen is on top of the bridge.. weirdest bug i ever seem... and funny thing is that after it happened the game froze and i got kick out with a error 7!

stupid henchman bugs
