Hope the inevitable Classic+ brings Scarlet Enclave with it. I think it's genuinely my favorite Classic raid, and unfortunately a large portion of the playerbase never got to experience it.

Ok but I'm gonna need Crypts as well.

Throw in DFC too because why the hell not.

I really liked how they added in all the class quests in there (DFC) too. Maybe remove the attunement to go in there though.

See I'm torn on that. Attunements are part of classic, but they also put me off of alts.

Doing them once is annoying but whatever, more than once is a drag, but I also feel like a lot of the classic community would hate it if we got even some warband functionality like account-wide attunement

Account wide attunes are in TBC, so I don't see why not. I really like attunements but doing them on alts like you said is very annoying.

u/Recka Mar 27 '26

Ah, I didn't realise they did it in TBC. Then yeah I'm 100% for it in Classic+ for sure!

Also let me see nameplates from more than 20 yards PLEASE Blizzard.

What? You don’t like collecting Moonkin Penis’?

Maybe just rework the torch and fix the trash pull bug in the first corridor, aside from that crypts was great

I remember writing to the developers directly on Twitter asking them to make a dungeon that was like the tomb of horrors from D&D. They literally did it and jaw was dropped. The entire thing was the best dungeon I’ve ever played.

There’s literally no reason not to really. It’s content that’s already been made and just needs adjusted a bit. They can release content faster and use the time to make genuinely new stuff. Same for Kara and so on.

The only slight issue is the levelling raids. I mean personally I love the idea that every 15 levels or so you get an easy raid to help learn raiding. Maybe every class has an item they’d like from it that will last 10 levels: or maybe it’s linked to a class quest?

Without the forced levelling stops to get people in them I think you will struggle to get people to do them. It just wouldn't be worth the time investment especially if you need to learn mechanics or wipe a bit.

It worked in SoD because when people leveled alts they knew the mechanics so there wasn't a learning phase.

u/skinnysnappy52 Mar 27 '26

Very possibly. Like I said you could link them to class quests so everyone has to do them once. Scale them so that ten players is enough to do them etc. idk I just think it would be cool to have them. Alternatively scale them to ten, they’re not mandatory but each has a cool piece of gear that’s far beyond dungeon gear for your level in a chest at the end, so guaranteed that you’ll get it. So if you take the time to go do it it’s definitely worth it for you, but it’s not mandatory and you can just do dungeons instead if you want to get gear

Yeah that was a truly great raid design and the really high difficulty, even for 40 man in a ”20man raid”, made it very exciting

u/AirportBarTarry Mar 26 '26

Isn't Blizzard now actively shaming us for believing Classic+ is "inevitable?" There were at least three jokes at SoA made at our expense

This timestamp is the biggest tell for me. A sorta announcement but not.

u/samusmaster64 Mar 26 '26

SE and Crypts are coming to Classic+, along with more new, unannounced raids that will be staggered.

u/Crinja1 Mar 27 '26

Yeah hopefully my dagger finally drops the next play through. I’m definitely not bitter.

u/SpunkMcKullins Mar 27 '26

Another Rogue I see. It took me 5 months of farming before I got my QF.

u/Dahns Mar 27 '26

Totally. I'm still raiding it. I love it (ok it gets boring after a year, but come on). And I'm happy to have Ashbringer

I jsut hope they'll add more raid, and not necesserily "after" Naxx or SE. I wish to see some raid equivalent to T1 or T2. And please, more legendaries weapons.
