The topic name says most of what I have to say. After a long period of time OOO decided it was the right time to update Moorcroft with a machine to craft exclusive items.

Apart from the Winterfest update, wouldn't it be nice to see a little more of Emberlight, perhaps as another promo with exclusive items?

I believe there is still some untapped potential in these arcade subdivisions that could bring a bit of spotlight back to old arcade at the deeper depths.
So what do you guys think?

What I think OOO should do is

What I think OOO should do is to do an event about emberlight battling the crimson order. I think there should be a prestige mission, except there are 3 parts.

Part 1
Emberlight supplies!
Description: Emberlight is at war with the crimson order, how ever, Emberlight doesn't have enough weapons. You have to pay 2 thwack hammers and 2 wrench Wand to get 160-180 prestige.

Part 2
Arms of outcasts.

The Spiral HQ decides that if they help Emberlight's fleet, they will help them stop the crimson order. What you do: go through a clockwork tunnels gremlin grounds, then a deconstruction zone, and then an arena. Wrench warfare. The last level will be Emberlight, which you give supplies to.

Part 3
Wrench warfare

The truce between them suddenly allows them to unleash a full attack on the crimson order. The first level is called breaking the lines. It is a gremlin/construct level which you go through an arena themed area. The next level is called warpod warfare. It's only one room, but when you stomp on the switch, a dozen warpods come out along with 15 menders,healers and knockers. The next round will be 9 lumbers, a dozen mecha knights and 10 knockers. After that, there should be 6 of each gun puppy along with 8 retrodes and a dozen scuttlebots. The last phase, you are hit with half a dozen tortodrones and 6 of everything I mentioned. The last level is called revolution, it's where many gremlins leave the crimson order and come to Emberlight, the Emberlight thanks you.

Like it? They should also a shield called the crimson shield. The shield would have defense against elemental and resist to fire,shock freeze and poison.

I know that it's most likely Tortodrone.

I guess updates come when they feel right, but it could always be a possibility.

Emberlight has winterfest. the manor had nothing. I know it's one time per year, but's it's still a big thing.

As much as winterfest was a thing, there was no incentive to go into the arcades and search for anything. Emberlight is still the one horse show (Gracken anybody?).

At least the alchemy machines are unique to T2 moorcroft. There could more incentive to go further and deeper down into the arcades if there was such a thing at those further depths.

Personally I'm not so sure a Haven boss on the surface would be such a good thing. It would be pretty novel, but it would need to get people to spend there energy efficiently. I think it could be a daily prestige mission, but what about energy costs?

I might not be seeing it openly, but I was thinking of another energy sink promo that could happen.

First you find the "Emberlight Co-ordinates Log" which is a rare drop from Gremlin Mercenary Leaders that rarely spawns in place of regular Thwackers. When you get one, talk to "Crouching Toolbox, Hidden Gremlin" in Emberlight. After he says "What Gremlin spy?" tell him "I may have something of interest" and proceed in giving him the Log. Prepare yourself though as once you give it to him, King Tinkinzar will spawn and all the exits will be sealed. He will spawn Gremlin Mercs, be prepared for a tough fight. Once you kill him though, the person who gave the log will receive (alongside the 6 co-ordinate packets) a "Gremlin Mercenary Cloak" (5* armour, ASI High, MSI Low Split Normal/Ele defence). The Log will cost around 1m bid/3m Buy now in the auction house and the event ends in 3-4 weeks and everyone will be raging at the low drop rate.
