Bloom issues for lightsabers, any dev's please look?

So out of all my time playing, I couldn't help but notice to see the blooming issues for lightsabers. Whenever bloom is off, it looks way better imo. When you have bloom on, it looks great, BUT it have two colors to it. For example, when you use a standard green crystal it omits 2 colors, yellow in the inside and a green on the outside. For the purple crystal, it omits a purple on the outside and pink in the middle. This is the same for every crystal in the game. Is there any date/plan to fix this? Thank you.

This is by design. The lightsabers with bloom on is how they are advertised in the video and artwork and other advertisements. Bloom is just turned off for those computers that cannot handle it, like my old laptop.

 

You can see the differences here:

It is true that some lightsabers look better without the bloom, I think the way they use bloom in the game ruins lighter colored crystals. For instance, the blue lightsaber crystal looks fine, but the cyan crystal looks much fatter and the green lightsaber crystal looks like it is yellow/green. It may be by design, but then I wonder why they made the normal green lightsaber crystal be the short off hand lightsaber Ahsoka Tano uses in the clone wars series.

I would love a normal green lightsaber crystal without the yellow tint.

There are 3 regular green lightsaber crystals. "Lime Green" or "Mint Green" might be more of what you are looking for.
Those are nowhere close to being regular green. I want regular, like yoda/qui-Gon green. Green has always been my favorite, its pretty disappointing. I do use mint green though, its different.
