It proves that yelling the Rumbler was not an intended way to pass him. If it was they wouldn't have changed it.

I'm sure you realize that though, hee hee.

But who to blame? It's easy to play your role. I think a better person doesn't make a big fucking deal out of nothing, and realizes its the fault of poor design and shit implementation. Who even knows if this change "proves" anything, except that they didn't want people /yelling colossus?

Well, okay. I'm not going to argue with you when the consensus will be that the /yell mechanic was changed in instances so that you couldn't bypass content. As was already stated newer guilds to EH weren't even trying the Rumbler because they knew to /yell it.

You can talk about the colossus all you want and point out that it could've been changed for all kinds of reasons that don't involve the Rumbler or the numerous huge arguements and discussion that happened because people were using /yell to despawn mobs they couldn't beat.

I'm going to go play VG however, so have fun with that.

All I'm saying is, I think you were being far too specific with the rumbler. To my knowledge SOE has said nothing about the mob, which says a lot I think.

Clearly this change was created with the rumbler in mind because that is why it was applied to freethinkers, IS, and clockwork. Oh wait, that would mean it was implemented based on something else....

Were people yelling trash mobs that dropped no loot to progress through zones faster? I bet so!

Which would be what? What encounter in any of those zones was yelled repeatedly and/or was yelling passed off as a "strat".

Ishbu

What encounter is ANY zone was yelling a strat? A strat is a method of executing against a specific encounter to defeat it. To the best my knowledge, the rumbler (wich is what we were talking about) was never defeated therefore nobody ever executed a strategy for it.

If they had the rumbler in mind...then they have other issues to work out...

1. How do you stop guilds from zoning in an alt group, ghosting through the zone to see if the Segmented Rumbler is up, and if he isnt, zoning the raid in...

2. They need to make the Segmented Rumbler beatable...if not what the fuck is the point in having him spawn at all? To prove that you can offtank him through the tender?

3. Who the fuck is the Segmented Rumbler and why the fuck is he blocking my progression...(i.e. Where is the story behind why the rumbler is harder than any mob in the game?)

4. If the intention was to make it so guilds can't get to Woushi, then I say fuck you you god damn cocksucking whore whoever had that intention I mean...

Sinnach

Exactly. You're batshit insane if you think the rumbler in its current form can be killed without breaking the ring event. Unless they tone down the encounter some this is quite easily the worst patch imaginable. We've got an encounter so unbalanced guilds are yelling it off to kill it with no chest to progress? Let's make it unyellable but not fix the problem of the encounter itself!
