From Test Server:

Using the /yell command in Emerald Halls, Inner Sanctum, Clockwork Menace Factory, and Freethinker Hideout will no longer break the encounter.

This should clearly explain wheter SOE thinks yelling the Rumbler was legit or an exploit

Or maybe they changed the encounter or fixed something.

if they changed the encounter it would probably clearly state so, also no need to avoid yelling in other raid zones.

They probably (= my opinion) did so to prevent guilds yelling Rumbler in EH to progress to Tender and trash encounters in MMIS/FTH (even if they're not hard at all but some casual guilds might have great use of yelling colossuses for example)...no idea why clockwork.

I'm not saying they haven't changed Rumbler, i'm saying that this patch note states something else

nope, wasn't an exploit :P

that discussion aside, nice change. Clockwork was done since it was in essence a ring event. We never tried yelling anything, but as is known with ring events they tend to break after yelling :p

I personally don't really understand why it applies to FTH, but might aswell apply it to all zones while you're at it I guess..

So when are they applying this to the pedestal of the high priestess?

Comalv

so SOE is changing *working as intended* stuff into *it worked as intended but now u can't do that anymore*....yeah...right

I bet if you yelled Treyloth, you wouldnt be able to activate malkonis.

Just speculation, but its the only hole in the zone i can think of.

Yelling Malkonis's coffins also, maybe?

Comalv

must be english humor!!

We yelled the blood collosus' just for speed...since they (at least from what i was told) they dont drop anything ... but besides that and the Pedestal i cant think of a time/mob i've ever purposely yelled with the intention of killing it. Hell I dont even like Evac'ing, i think thats a puss way to go...but thats cause i play a Zerker, i stand and fight till the death .......... then i revive and blame everyone else for my dieing ;-)

But its interesting to see this now, i'm curious if anyone from the guild(s) that debated this issue so hotly on the boards would like to rechange their position. "Exploit or not" was such a heated thing, I dont know if this is a "Yes it was an Exploit" but its definately a "Your not going to avoid this guy if you want to progress" type message
