Now I can finish War in Kryta, and continue with HM and Eye of the North dungeons.

Also I can get me a Black Widow, and I'll have a full Zaishen Menagerie.

Mercenary Hero slots are neat, but not 100% necessary.  I don't use my existing heroes 100%, no need for me to bring other characters on my account as heroes just yet...

Also, as a part of this hero-related update, the hero dropdown goes from being completely disorganized to being grouped by profession, making it a lot easier to get the exact hero grouping you want.  I approve.

Embark Beach now offers a nice and fast way to get to any outpost in the game that you've unlocked.  I would have preferred that the boat travel dialog be extended to do this, but they added an extra town in the Battle Isles for it.  Whatever.

Drunkard title was changed so you no longer need to be essentially idling in-game for 10,000 minutes of real-time.  It's now point-based like the Party Animal and Sweet Tooth titles, with different levels of points for different alcohols based on their strengths.  Now I no longer need an entire storage tab dedicated to holding alcohol...

I haven't yet played my Necromancer to try out the minion panel, but honestly I'm surprised that it took them over 5 years to think of and implement the idea.  Hopefully it makes targetting individual minions for spells like Death Nova and Jagged Bones easier.  Edit (March 8): Just tried it out, and it now makes having a human play a Jagged Bones MM or a minion bomber possible.  Before it was impossible to reliably target different minions, but now you get a list with their health bars and whatnot.

Now I just need to get more HoM points for GW2.
