No immortal in Ulduar please

The only thing in this game that has made the members of my guild more frustrated while raiding is pre-nerf Mu'ru and for the same reasons. Please do not put a similar achievement in to Ulduar as failing at something due to disconnects is unbearably tedious.

At least we can't spend all night on the immortal though, so I guess its a little better than old Mu'ru.

We will see what achievements we decide to make for Ulduar, but honestly I would not be surprised if an immortal-style achievement was one of them. There can be some frustrating scenarios that cause this to fail like disconnects, but unless it is a mass disconnect it can be worked around a lot of the time. Overall, in my experience, it is almost always a player's fault for failing on Undying/Immortal by getting a little careless and not remaining focused on the achievement goal.

Q u o t e:
Please make it by boss then, not for the whole instance in one clear. Expecting no RNG disconnects or lag for 14 bosses seems a little much.

These meta achievements aren't meant to be easy. Making it by boss would make it much much easier.

Q u o t e:
Edit: Also, please no under-manning on the meta. It's not hard, just annoying and makes you sit out raid members for no good reason.

If getting the achievement is "no good reason" - why are you doing it? :)

Q u o t e:
You can check the elitist jerks discussion as well and see as a community, the under manning achievements are pretty disliked. It's not the actual accomplishment, but telling 5 of your guild mates to take the night off (when guilds are required to have more than 25 because no one is 100% attendance) is extremely frustrating.

At the same time it doesn't take more than 2 clears to take care of everybody, which is pretty quick and easy.
