There are a few visual issues on algalon that are making the encounter a bit frustrating. While it’s still killable it is extremely frustrating to lose pulls on a boss with a 1hr timer to visual bugs. These aren’t specific to my setup either as all of my guildies agreed to experiencing these issues.
- The floor on algalon is meant to be opaque while the encounter is in progress. What we see vs what it was like in 2009:

- The boss and sometimes cosmic smashes can become invisible based on what seems to be camera rotation. This is exacerbated by the above floor issues but in this gif you can clearly see that algalon is literally invisible.

The floor glitch does make the cosmic smash on the left nearly invisible, but I believe the one I get hit by to also be actually invisible. - The black holes created by collapsing stars are wildly inaccurate to where the teleport hitbox is actually located. It appears that the true hitbox is centered around the base of the circle that floats off the ground, but the black circle on the ground is not always centered on that circle:

Sorry for these being lower quality gifs, but I think they convey the issues we experienced.
