[2021] The RAID is Timegated

Narratively, the Eternity’s End raid tells two stories, one after the other. Our current plan for the release of the raid looks like this:

• During the first week of the release of Eternity’s End, the raid will not be open.
• Beginning with the second week, the raid will open for Normal and Heroic difficulties, and the first eight bosses will be available in those difficulties.
  • It will not be possible to fight the final bosses on any difficulty during week two.
  • This is intended to provide a moment to tell the story in a way that accounts for the passage of time between the events of the eighth encounter and the subsequent encounters.
• Beginning with the weekly reset of week three, all bosses will be available on Normal, Heroic, and Mythic difficulties.
  • This will also be the opening of the first wing of the raid on Raid Finder difficulty.
