Algalon really does feed on your tears

So to those that dont know, there is a hard mode only boss in Ulduar called Algalon The Raid Destroyer, and he says "Your sorrow only makes me stronger" aka the blues have dubbed "Algalon feeds on your tears".

 

Anyways, he's only been attempted by 1 guild so far, and thats in 10 man. He's quite difficult obviously since blizz wanted to make a boss that wasn't "required" for progression and was nice and hard like all the hardcore guilds want.

 

Thing is, he has a 1 hour time limit. After you engage him, you have 1 hour to defeat him or he despawns for the ENTIRE reset. He doesn't come back till the next reset.

 

LOL, you should see the crying on the raid and dungeon forums, it's great. Someone made me giggle by saying "Im not posting anything bad here - we're only making him stronger, stop!" =P

 

Should be "fun" eh?

See you in a few weeks, Algalon.

it ain't no thang.

I saw that today, and was like wtf?!?! Then I thought, "maybe he's not too hard if you only get 1 hour a week to attempt." But then I realized its going to be bad, very bad.

lol, 1 hour to do him. It's going to be hard and fun at the same time.

 

If people aren't bad, it's possible.

it ain't no thang.

 

Naw brotha. It aint nothin, BUT a thang.

I don't think the 1 hour lockout will last very long personally. I feel that the latest they'll remove it is when they remove the drakes for the achievement, but there's a possibility that it will be removed before. Somehow I feel that they tried to make it too hard and Algalon will become fat and lazy very quickly from feeding on too many tears.

I figure that's the true tactic to beating Algalon. He gets easier and easier as more guilds attempt him, till he dies, and then he resets to freshly uneaten tears mode. And you gotta beef him back up to kill him again.

plz just from stang tellin me this i wanna be the first guild to down him... imo just gotta do the research currently we maybe lack in the gear department but i think it should be a goal as a guild we set forth to achieve.

 

 

*incoming bang sucks replies*

Awe

Awe <3 Bang, but you gotta be able to do all bosses on hard mode 25 man to unlock him first, which noone else has done yet.

 

Yup. Nobody on Skullcrusher has gotten to him yet. Although some guilds on other servers have . Vodka is one I believe.

 

But Yeah, This will be HUGE competition simply due to the fact that he is the last boss in Ulduar. The first guild to kill him will receive the title for server first.

 

Hopefully it's Rage or Invidious. x.x

aight i think its time stang inacts marshal law or something and make raiding 7 days a week imo start at 6pm end at 11pm lol

 

which for us californians is fine 3pm to 8pm lol

jkjk

 

it would be awesome to be the guild that does it...

I meant to post this hours ago:

 

 

 

Bang sucks.

Link to the encounter Audio for those interested in hearing. Also contains the Audio pertaining to events after his defeat/completing the quest.

 

Pretty epic imo.

I was in Immo raiding when BWL came out. Vael had the same timer too for the first month or two. I had to switch to my rogue every week for that one fight. It was so funny to see a raid with like 9 rogues and 8 dps warriors in a 40 man. Everyone was screaming in between wipes for people to hurry up and run back. I literally think we could squeeze in 15 attempts in an hour. I like timers. They are fun and people that slack off (might plz) and afk don't get brought. Hardcore raiders are no different than the rest of the general qq'ing population. The only difference is they actually think they are good at the game when they really are not.

 

WTB more ZA timed instances.

lol I can see that. Vael wipes seemed to take about 2.5 seconds to complete.
