[edit] Update - Friday, August 03, 2007
[edit] Heroes' Ascent Changes
Reduced the time on the Antechamber and Forgotten Shrines from 10 minutes to 6 minutes.
When a team in the Antechamber or Forgotten Shrines has scored 20 points more than its opponent, the game ends and the high-scoring team wins.
Players can now only bring a maximum of 2 non-human (Hero or henchmen) players into Heroes' Ascent maps.
[edit] Miscellaneous
Adjusted the circumstances in which Heroes use the skill "Death Nova" in PvP.
Fixed the skill "Vampirism" so that it now steals the correct amount of damage.
The Burial Mounds map has been added back in to the Heroes' Ascent map rotation to accommodate the large number of teams playing during the Heroes' Ascent Bonus Weekend.
[edit] Guild Wars Wiki notes
The Gladiator Title Track had its description reverted to as it was before the August 2nd update.

Bye bye heroway?

Is it 2 per player, or 2 overall?

BTW, woot Vampirism is back. That skill is so insanely overpowered!

Yes, heroes can no longer be used as scapegoats for people's incompetence!

"Fixed the skill "Vampirism" so that it now steals the correct amount of damage. "

Still doesn't trigger "Painful Bond" anymore. Bloodsong does, and it's darn near the same wording. Any chance this will get fixed before another fortnight passes?

Good, about time Anet nerfed that. Skill-less players playing a skill-less build to get fame was dumb. Oh wait....Rit Spike ISN'T nerfed yet...

Yeah, I hope they just make all Rit spells 10....60 damage. That way you can't possibly spike with them.

Some People cant use vent so they get stuck with the sloppy groups, that's why I've had 24 fame for 5 months now.

You can still do Hero (notice the lack of the stupid -way), you just now need 6 people instead of 4.

Yes, because sins, eles and rangers are all pro at healing and defense too. Oh wait... they're not, and aren't generally used in ridiculous HA spikes either...

Now add the same hero restriction to GvG , There is no reason that 4 heroes should be allowed in GvG.
