I'm not normally one to be qorried about an impleted change into the raiding system, but this hour-long period you're allowed to fight Algalon seems a little broken.
As we all know, sometimes in life, shit happens. This was shown sometimes when trying to achieve the "Immortal" Naxx title. Someone d/c's randomly, someone forgets reagents, the server shuts down...etc etc. This stuff *shoudln't* happen, but we all know it does. But I'm thinking this has been taken to a whole new level with this boss encounter. It seems as though Blizz didn't have ideas to really make him all that much harder so they decided to give a silly time-frame as to promote the "You think Ulduar is Easy? Link your Algalon achievement" threads that will undoubtedly spread like wildfire in a few weeks/months when people begin to get bored of Ulduar.
I'm not too sure what will really define this hour, whether it's actual fight time, or whether it's counting while you rez/corpse-run after a wipe, but it seems like a little bit of a scam to try and make the fight harder.
Your thoughts?
