Don't know why people are being so negative in this thread - I guess they are insecure. This game brings up very mature situations and how you're character reacts can mirror real life situations. I guess it hasn't changed my behaviour, but many things in politics and life can be related to some of the missions in this game.

Great post, thanks for the help and imput. Sabers look better without bloom, but still unfortunately not as good as beta sabers. But it is a good quick fix for people this bothers. I will be keeping bloom off.

Hopefully. I noticed they look great in the preview window as well.

I agree with you, but there are literally 8 class storylines to play through. That's a lot of hours of captivating story/KOTOR experience. But yeah more minigames, story content like HK, bioware knows the D.

I have discovered the nature of this issue. The armor and hood appear to be a more muddled version of the red displayed in the preview. This is because the game does not use the HIGH textures you see in conversations. Here are screenshots: IN GAME: http://i.imgur.com/KIe5x.jpg I was unable to get a screenshot of IN CONVO, but I can assure you that it appears the perfect red in the convo. How this can be fixed, IDK, but the armor looks epic anyway.

Are you kidding? I was gunna buy this.

*VROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM* bump!!!!!!!!!!

Some great ideas in here, others are too far gone at this point. I think this game really needs a big expansion that adds 3d explorable space, make coruscant and dromund kaas the capital worlds and add life to them, and make more planets like tatooine or hoth that are very open and explorable. Give us swoop racing and pazaak on nar shadda. Add some star wars to this game by giving the worlds life.

I have noticed stuttering, have crashed multiple times and blaster/lightsabers are glitched when in combat, light starts flaring all over the screen. Very annoying.

Same. Wouldn't it be cool if they made dailies on tython and korriban and pubs and imps can go to both? That would be epic wpvp .

Whats that? I want a krayt dragon world boss and some dailies there that intersect with imperial dailies for epic open world tat pvp.

Until this is fixed (if it ever is) a way to diminish the effects of is to turn off bloom. It makes yellow look slightly better at least.

That's a great thread and well thought out. That would hopefully come in something like an expansion, but hopefully for a quick fix with the current sabers they can change the models back to what they were.

Very good idea and well thought out.

Bump for the good of force wielders everywhere!

Honestly, no one is quite sure. Could possibly be a bug/oversight, but with all the threads they should have noticed by now. If it was done purposely, it seems kinda odd as well. Most people think the older models look much better. Best we can do is let Bioware see that having the sabers all be drastically different not only looks awkward and unlike the SW movies, but also mabye dual wielding certain colors look totally out of place.

According to some Beta testers, it was brought up even before launch!

I edited the post with an additional paragraph and implore everyone to rewatch class progression videos to see lightsabers in their better form! Even red and blue were changed, but they weren't made to look much worse like many of the other colors. Except for the consular progression video! That shows the post lightsaber change!

Defintely good idea, but I don't want to get too far off topic in the thread. This thread's purpose is to bring to Biowares attention the fans dissatisfaction with the changes to lightsabers made in Beta, and there is a lot of support to bring them back to the proper versions.

Yes, many sounds are quite unconventional. More lightsaber customization for a star wars RPG is a no brainer.

As they already have the models in game, It should be a quick fix!

Yes, I've discovered after making the thread that every lightsaber is multi layered with 2 colors ecxept for red and blue. Even the purple which looks pretty nice has a magenta pickish core.

Good idea. They could just name the thin green one "dark green" or something because instead of the yellow core it will have just a white core. It looks totally odd to dual wield blue and green in game at this point because of the different thickness.

Agreed. Totally lame.
