(THIS THREAD CAN BE EDITED AT ANY POINT)
My guild, like most people; enjoy playing around in Spiral Spy and looking at files and models for stuff, new and old, and unknown. However, most of you guys who use Spiral Spy are probably aware of that 'corrupted' style of gear, which appears blue and dark gray.

For those who don't know what these textures are like, follow these links:

This got me thinking of promotion or even just a nice little activity that could go on and further expand on the Shadow Lairs and the Swarm, something avid players of this game would all love to see.

Just like how you needed to find Creep Cakes in the Clockworks, or even Punkin and collect tokens for prize boxes, you could find certain Swarm-infected areas in which you step on a party button, 'Whitespace Swarm' plays as the battle theme, and you need to survive a set amount of time fighting off the Void enemies in that area. After it's completed, you can get a certain amount of tokens just like how Creep Cakes dropped the cake tokens or Punkin dropped candy tokens. These tokens could be traded in for Void Prize Boxes which contain Swarm-themed accessories/costumes that would be Black and Purple in colour. Boxes would cost 50 tokens each.

These rooms would also give bits of lore involving The Swarm. This could also be released alongside a Daily (meaning it cannot be grinded more than once a day, and tokens are awarded AFTER the mission is completed, the mission would reward 5 tokens, and 90 Prestige) mission in which you Traverse a Swarm infected Clockworks tunnel, the tunnel can vary in design much like regular clockwork tunnels (or not, it could be static which would most likely be easier to develop). This could also (and most preferably) be released alongside a general storyline-related content update.

I feel like this would not only get people back in the arcade, but give everyone something to enjoy, including those that cannot afford to go on Shadow Lair runs, and give new players as well as old a taste of the storyline involving The Swarm and The Core and what is to come.

Whimsicality

Because this game is spiraling into what sums up to an overpriced cosmetic gear gathering simulator, I for one am a bit skeptical to see more recoloured proto gear. Despite that, I am all for getting the Arcade more love.

Oh. And finding out more about the Swarm. That would be awesome, too!

@ Whimsy

The more hats we bring into this world the better.

Honestly though is this idea /were/ to ever be given breath to; I'd want it released alongside a storyline-related content update, just as something to do for new and old players alike. Something fun.

I'm MORE than certain that

I'm MORE than certain that this style of accessory is referred to as Shadow in the game files. Matches the Snarb set and whatnot.

BUT ANYHOW, a capital idea! I'd love to delve into the arcade once more for something OTHER than the occasional boss recipe.

But instead of it being available as a daily mission, what if Cradle had periods of "Swarm Surges?" The Swarm would manage to break out of it's 'containment' and try to spread itself, to give players an idea that the Swarm is nothing to sneeze at. The event would occur for a week or so every time, would have the Swarm spots in the Clockworks much like the Punkin Lairs, and have a one-a-day Daily Mission for those who can't spend time searching for these spots. The event would end with the 'Core' managing to maintain the Swarm once again and everything returning to normal.

Gives players a little something to look forward to when waiting for updates!

As per the forum rules, please do not "Post exploits, spoilers, or other sensitive information about the game."

This would include any items you find in the games files that have not yet been released.

@ Alphastevo

That is correct. Like I said, it just gave me the idea for this.

As for your idea, that is also very interesting! Perhaps it could go along with this whole thing, who knows. It would make obtaining tokens a lot harder though. Plus knowing how the game changes, a patch would be needed for it at the start and end of the day unless they find a way to code that stuff in.

Processing Thoughts of You Always

Personally request that Void Stetsons, Void Bomber Caps and Void Flowers be added to the above list.

You never said what the Swarm Aura looks like

I assume the Swauram (Swarm Aura :D) looks like the Haunted Aura, but faster and with a billion tiny black squares? I likey.

P.S. ASFJSDAJGSAJ SWARM DEMO AND GUNSLINGERRRRR D8
