Not sure if this has been reported yet, but the healing hires still ask to be healed when they are being damaged.
Also, I know a lot of people say they love the new interface. I, however, have had a couple of problems with it. First of all, for me at least, changing any of the values in the hireling menu bar seems to make them go passive. I personally only used Garrett and Andaro, but they both had this problem. Further, it might be just my imagination, but I think if anything the hires are standing even closer to us than they do on Live right now. I was hoping for a command that would make them stand farther away, not closer, since the proximity to me, especially with healing hires, has always been one of the big problems with them.
