What's up with the arcade rotation? Is it just me?
I'm not familiar with any updates as i've only just decided to return to the game but the in game tooltip suggests that the clockworks are always changing, and I recalled the arcade changing its rooms daily like it suggested back in like 2011.

Though ever since my first day back, like 5 days ago, I've noticed my arcade floors have kept to the same floors with no new zones. I didn't see it as a big problem till my friend and I wanted to go to a Starlight Cradle zone so he could farm those Zee Cores without having to pay a hefty amount of crowns on the Auction house.

As it stands I still haven't noticed a single Starlight Cradle anywhere on my arcades. They've sat perfectly still... I know the game certainly doesn't have near the amount of players it did, but did the developers just decide to like, freeze the arcade? It doesn't sound reasonable enough to do that though.

Every 2 days

I'm not sure how often the arcade rotates. Starlight cradle is pretty rare. Check back in a few days.

each floor has like 2 or 3 rooms it can rotate to and they rotate roughly every 10 mins or so, you can wait at a elevator down once you get to it and watch the next level change on the elevator screen. once your in a gate your menu and options should have a gate map that shows everything that can be on the floors coming up

I'm only barely aware of the elevator reshuffle you speak of, but I think we're not seeing eye-to-eye. Are you saying that if I were to wait on an elevator at say, depth 6 of Sapphire Knight that has had nothing but straight Jigsaw Valley maps, the same 3 layouts at that, for the past week, I could instead go to a different place besides a map of Jigsaw Valley? That sounds like a very low chance of the game giving me what I want there...

I'm not asking "why are the maps playing in the same order every time I go in?" I'm asking "why are these the same maps, again? Don't they change more than the few variations of that map?"

Use the gate map to see which levels are available in each depth

Certainly seemed longer for me. Though logging in today I see Sapphire Knight has left and made space for Copper Titan, alas no Starlight cradles but at least they do still change.

Well it seems all it took was someone to say what I needed, after a couple day's of waiting it did as you said making room for a new one. Guess you said the magic words. Still seems abit slower than they say imo but we just have to live with it I guess.
