FredicusCaesar Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 Something i have thought alot about is that the color of ones force lightning. I have an idea of that conserns force aligance. For example if you have a sith inquisitor that is darkside V the lightning should change color. one color could be the dark black/purple that Vitiate uses or the blue that Malgus uses. What´s your thought on this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lunafox Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 I like this idea, especially the idea of black purple lightning if you're dark 5...which I am. I think it'd be pretty damn cool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamuraBob_Fl Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 I'd like to see it simply as a customization option. Provide a number of colors that people can choose from. It could be a legacy unlock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SentinelDranoel Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 Now that hte game is past the one year mark, features such as these would be cool. Variations and color differences for the people who create new toons would be kind appreciated. I bet it is not even on the list of priorities though.

Omisri Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 (edited) What do us Shadows get? Differently-colored pebbles? Blegh, I want lightning. Well, why can't it all depend on your alignment. Light V you get the pebble dash, dark V you get lightening. Neutral to dark or light 4 means you get the default for your class Edited April 28, 2013 by Omisri Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aries_cz Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 What do us Shadows get? Differently-colored pebbles? Blegh, I want lightning. TK Throw should be remodeled and renamed to the "hadouken" Satele uses in Hope trailer, just saying. I would switch to Balance immediately (love the Idea of "Force in Balance" and all the cool mind tricks this skill branch offers, but I hate pebbles) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zzoorrzz Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 It's not about color, but I post this here, since your title is just force lightning. I have 1 issue with lightnings since I started palying this game. It's werid when sith cast lightnings alway with the activated lightsabe in their hand. It would be ok when they hold lightsabe in one hand and the lightning goes from other hand (like Malgus's master in Return). But when they use both hands together to cast the lightning, lightsaber seriously needs to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorc's could use some sort of rod, and sages could get a rake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pscyon Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 I'd love to finally get blue lightning instead of the dumb purple, but I don't think tying it to alignment is the way to go. Rather see it customizable in some way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saremun Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 oh i love it! it would really make sense and give a reason to have the different dark side ranks! i would also like to the the apposite skill for the Sage get a change to the animation!

Echriado Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 What do us Shadows get? Differently-colored pebbles? Blegh, I want lightning. Dark sided jedi should absorb some of the sith magic. Replacing skills/abilities that make sense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not exactly, Plo used Electric Judgment [aka Electric Lightning]. Electric Judgment showed up as yellow or green energy[instead of blue or white, but otherwise it was very similar in both appearance and usage to the Force power known as Force lightning. This power was uncommon and controversial among the Jedi because of its intrinsic association with anger and aggression. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RowanThursday Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 What do us Shadows get? Differently-colored pebbles? Blegh, I want lightning. Easy! If you're a Dark V Consular, "telekinetic throw", fires skulls at your enemy And look on the bright side. As a Shadow *and* Assassin myself, yes, Gravel Attack is a weak cousin to Force Lightning. On the other hand, while the Inquisitor's "Shock" is basically 'quick and less impressive looking lightning', the Consular gets to smack people in the head with rusting astromechs! Now.... there's a thought. Maybe the Inquisitor gets different lightning colour options- as options, not mandatory- through Force Alignment changes... and the Consular gets to unlock a) different Project-junk, and b) gets an increased chance of pulling the *interesting* stuff out of the ground- astromechs, speeders, whatever new stuff is unlocked, and less of a chance of it being "Rock, holocron, floorplate, rock, holocron, floorplate, rock, rock, rock..." Mind you, I'd love a Dark-side only Project-variant of "telekinetically pick up your companion and throw them at your target's head". Preferably available through Legacy Project, so my smuggler can do it with the massive blunt instrument called Corso Riggs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mufloni Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 I would like to see just more fraction and class specific things. Who says that we all have to be equal? Shouldn't that make it desirable to play other class's for the fact that they do different things based off lore? I would love the ability to customize your force lightning color but make it for the inquisitor class only in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordmird Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 What do us Shadows get? Differently-colored pebbles? Blegh, I want lightning. You actually want lightning? In PVP, Consulars have an advantage over Inquisitors because the animation is less flashy. The "pebbles" are less likely to be seen, allowing you to stand in the middle of a mob, finishing off your enemies. If I see lightning splurging all over the place, I am tracing that lightning down to its source and killing the caster. I cannot see "pebbles" as well as I can see lightning. At the end of the day, who's laughing? The guy with the flashy lightning that just got killed, or the guy with the "pebbles" that don't generate so much "eye aggro" and is still alive?

That sounds really....really stupid, but I guess that is what happens when everything has to be black and white morality. Can't imply that Jedi use "evil" powers now can we!

AlexDougherty Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 What do us Shadows get? Differently-colored pebbles? Blegh, I want lightning. Sages too, we get loads of little pebble or one big rock, does the damage, but a glimmering force effect in with them would be nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
