Scarlet Enclave may come back to Forever

The Scarlet Enclave, the last raid of Season of Discovery, may come to World of Warcraft: Forever later. In an interview with Joardee, Josh Greenfield (Aggrend) and Tim Jones explain why they still like it, and what they want to do differently.

Too much at the end of Season of Discovery

The developers praise the creative bosses of the Scarlet Enclave, but say its difficulty and tuning went too far. Raids expected players to keep their world buffs during fights, get them back after every death and use resurrection trinkets in the middle of a fight. That is why world buffs exist in Forever but do not work in raids and battlegrounds.

Challenging, but approachable

Most Forever raids should sit around the difficulty of Season of Mastery. The team points to the original Naxxramas as the example: fights where your utility spells matter and good play pays off, without every boss being a wall. Hard content stays, but with demands that players can reasonably meet.

When, not if

Lead game designer Tim Jones calls it exciting to bring the raid into Forever later on. He speaks of when, not if, but gives no date. Pieces of the raid are already in Forever. The first three raids open on 9 December.
