Oddzball Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 Eh first off, who here thought the pre-order color crystal which said "Pre-order comes with a color crystal that allows you to change the color of your lightsaber or blaster" meant that you got a crystal that would let you pick a color for your lightsaber? Yeah pretty much everyone. Now, its a nice pre-order gift I suppose, but good god is it ugly. Does Bioware have a lot of Steelers fans or something? Can I maybe get the same thing except without the yellow? Maybe a red or hell, any color but yellow? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myiven Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 I tried it out and swapped it out for an inferior crystal as quickly as I could find one. It was too ugly to keep. I didn't feel ripped off or anything, but I just didn't like it at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oddzball Posted December 20, 2011 Author Share Posted December 20, 2011 Oh and I quote "Change the color of your Lightsaber blade and blaster bolts" Yeah i suppose it changed them. But good god is that the most ugly color combination. It looks like one of those plastic safety wiffle bats? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RuNuB Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 Try it out in a blaster. Black and yellow blaster bolts look awesome to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morgasi Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 /sigh I agree with you. But get ready for the folks who are going to say it's not misleading at all, nope, nosiree, it does exactly what it says it does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oddzball Posted December 20, 2011 Author Share Posted December 20, 2011 No no no. EGA wasnt misleading. it honestly said UP to 5 days. I dont care about that. Thats over and done. That pre-order crystal though. Even ALL the news sites reported it as "Being able to change color" not as "You get a new color" but you get to pick you lightsaber color. Nobody saw that horrible monstrosity of a black and yellow wiffle bat coming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TradewindNQ Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 If you're disappointed in your crystal I feel bad for you son. I got 99 problems but reading advertising ain't one. It does exactly what it says it does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oddzball Posted December 20, 2011 Author Share Posted December 20, 2011 No, not "pretty much everyone". I didn't. Don't assume and you won't have that problem. I wouldn't except odds are your just disagreeing with my to be argumentative. You know darn well EVERYONE thought that meant you could pick your own lightsaber color. Even the NEWS sites thought that's what it meant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skoobie Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 I actually like it in a saber. But as far as the OP....I believe one of the very first things they mentioned after announcing the pre-order, was the color for the crystal. Way back in July. It's been well known for quite some time what the color was going to be. I'm not saying they shouldn't mention it on the box as well. But it has been known, all it took was a little research.

qqemokitty Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 I thought I would get to change the color to w/e I wanted too, but I'm not too concerned with it anyway. It does look much cooler as blaster bolts than it does as a saber color. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they did I apologize, but still, that thing still is god awful ugly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahhhhhh no. I didn't even remotely think you could just pick any color of the rainbow. Honestly, that never crossed my mind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We all instantly asked: "Does that mean we can change it to any color??" obviously. They came out and said no, it was black w/ a gold glow.

PibbyPib Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 Yep, looks truly horrible on a lightsaber. I removed it about 30 seconds after installing it because seriously-- a black blade with a yellow glow...? Bleh. Yellow would be fine if the beam was still white, but black...? Blech.

Nivelis Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 (edited) Yes, I also was expecting crystal that allows you to change lightsaber for DESIRED color not for YELLOW AND BLACK color...

Thradar Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 (edited) It changed the color didn't it? It's only misleading because your mind convinced you that you were getting more than the wording indicated. It will be sitting in your bank by level 16-18 anyway.
