UriahF Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 (edited) So after running a daily in Section X, I noticed my saber looked a little off. Purple crystal was looking pink-tinged. Thought maybe it was environment so I went to fleet...same thing there. http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/820/screenshot2013030810240.jpg/ Maybe it's me but I'm pretty sure my purple saber looked like it does in the preview window just a day ago. Thoughts? Edited March 9, 2013 by UriahF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackavaar Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 Yeah, looks Magenta to me. I'm going to have to check mine and see if they look like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buttlintel Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 (edited) my black purple looked black pink the other day during my raid... weird. Edited March 9, 2013 by buttlintel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidichIorian Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 Looks normal to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UriahF Posted March 9, 2013 Author Share Posted March 9, 2013 (edited) Looks normal to me. Huh, well, everyone sees color different and some are more sensitive to hue shift than others. Are you saying you see a match between the preview window and the "live" saber? Just curious. Edited March 9, 2013 by UriahF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UriahF Posted March 9, 2013 Author Share Posted March 9, 2013 my black purple looked black pink the other day during my raid... weird. But that went away? Maybe when I log back in my problem will be magically solved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oinks Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 So after running a daily in Section X, I noticed my saber looked a little off. Purple crystal was looking pink-tinged.

Thoughts? The previewis 2 tone, purple and white, the in game is 3 tones, purple, pink then white core. So yes to me they look different, my ones always looked like the preview you show ill have to hop in game to see if in game mine have gone to 3 tones as well. As a note your perception of a given colour will change depending on what colours sit next to it, the purple you see when purple is on its own will look different to the purple you see when there is another colour sitting next to it. Asa preference I prefer the 2 tone look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andryah Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 Worth noting... IMO.... crystal colors in preview never match actual. Actual appears more washed out then preveiw. Same for the sharpness of the blade graphic as well....looks less sharp in actual then in preview. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyfy Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 (edited) Seeing how some people have been having issues with coloring on armors depending on the shade of your skin (darker skin made armor colors loom lighter and lighter skin made armor colors look darker) I have to wonder if this is an off shoot issue from the base black of your Gree armor.

TheSeventhJedi Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 Both my preview window and actual saber match the actual saber you're seeing. Your preview window actually looks a little bit darker than what I'm used to with my purple blade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spartanik Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 (edited) Yeah, looks Magenta to me. I'm going to have to check mine and see if they look like that. Nah magenta is basicaly pink. That is clearly purple. The colors on preview window always look a bit diferently, mainly without the white glow arround the core.

Magnusheart Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 It varies by your settings and bloom being on or not. bloom makes the glow brighter and more intense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
denisabc Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 I have the purple one and it looks exactly like this. I had the feeling of it being too "pinkish" too. But i noticed it is that way on lighter ambients, specially when on outdoor areas and its sunny, like black hole. When you are on dark areas, specially those really dark areas like the ones u need that probe flashlight (kaon for example) the beam really looks purple, close to the dark blue. I hate when it looks too pinkish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samoth_Nomad Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 It varies by your settings and bloom being on or not. bloom makes the glow brighter and more intense. This^ Turn off your bloom setting and your saber color will look more purple again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joesixxpack Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 (edited) If you've spilled beer or mountain dew on it it'll leave a residue on the projector lens. Just wipe it periodically with a clean cloth or robe, problem solved. Edited March 11, 2013 by Joesixxpack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know there is always a difference in the preview window (though I don't know why), but the light saber he is showing looks pretty damn magenta to me. My purple light sabers appear normally however (I checked over the weekend), so I don't know why his looks more magenta all of a sudden. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have magenta crystals, belive me they are much more lighter and brighter than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not saying it looks exactly like the Magenta crystals. I'm saying that it looks more magenta than purple and it doesn't look like my purple crystals, which don't look magenta at all. Now maybe there is something up with his display or video settings, but that wouldn't explain a sudden change, now would it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UriahF Posted March 11, 2013 Author Share Posted March 11, 2013 Well I was just gonna let this thread rot but it popped back up on the first page so... First, yes as others have said, the bloom setting is affecting my saber color. Bloom: http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/132/screenshot2013031112172.jpg/ No bloom: http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/189/screenshot2013031112175.jpg/ I like the bloom effect so don't want to part with that really, and the saber still looks good to me so I will live with it. One more ss with Jaesa sporting a "true" magenta (or "light red" as some tool tips like to call it) in the BG, just for comparison. Bloom is on. http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/854/screenshot2013031112185.jpg/ And my sin tank has a pink-purple so I know what those look like too.
