OfaraAerno Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Why would you release a crystal that was already released? Why not release something unique and new? That way people who do this even a lot, get a new rare crystal that no one else has! Lazy stuff in my opinion, Bioware. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GratuaCuun Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 (edited) This is a re-release of an event from last year - the big 'no one else has' crystal WAS the black-green crystal. People are playing this event to GET the black green crystal they DIDN'T get last year In fact the ONLY other way to GET a black/green crystal was to buy TOR gear from Razer - and while those crystals had the same COLOR they didn't have the same benefits or collection totals that these crystals have Edited January 21, 2014 by GratuaCuun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OfaraAerno Posted January 21, 2014 Author Share Posted January 21, 2014 Yeah I understand all that.. I know you can't get the black-green crystal, but with this event you can again. I just think it would of been cool to release something new and not release the same thing again. That is all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might be off by a hair or it might be your monitor - my Trooper has my rak crystal from last year (and her pet red rak - Mr. Squee) and her companion Elara has the Razer crystal and they look the same to me... Either way though, the Rak crystal is WAY better than the Razer crystal and I am VERY glad we get another shot at it Yeah I understand all that.. I know you can't get the black-green crystal, but with this event you can again. I just think it would of been cool to release something new and not release the same thing again. That is all. For a lot of people it IS new - more importantly there's a lot of armor and weapons that ARE new. Not to mention the fact that people have been petitioning/begging/SCREAMING for another shot at the black/green crystal through this event. Hell, people have been crazier about this event more than any of the others BECAUSE of that crystal Edited January 21, 2014 by GratuaCuun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KTap Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 So glad I spent 3 mill on 2 of these a few weeks ago, when they would be available for next to nothing had I waited Thought they might at least flop to green-black crystals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what the data miners have found not only is this event going to end up like the bounty hunter event but it's going to be on one of three random planets - Corellia, Tatooine or Alderaan. We got Alderaan this time but it might happen on any of those three the next time it happens Edited January 21, 2014 by GratuaCuun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People are playing this event to GET the black green crystal they DIDN'T get last year No, it actually isn't. Its a completely new event. I played the original. it is not the same and not even close to the same. Where people get the idea where this is a re release of an old event, I'll never know because it isn't. stop spreading false information, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where people get the idea where this is a re release of an old event, I'll never know because it isn't. stop spreading false information, I'm not spreading false information - the story, rewards and set up is based on the original Tatooine rak event and from what the guys on Hater and Dulfy have found it could be on Tatooine again the next go-round Edited January 21, 2014 by GratuaCuun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dorpen Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Yeah that sucks... You would think they would release something new. The varactly and dewback skins are something new to work towards I guess. Maybe you all should give them some ideas on what would be new and cool to receive from a rakghoul oriented event?

If you want new go buy some cartel packs The only 'old' thing I heard complaining about was the legacy gear from the old event since it's required for achievement/title. Didn't see a single person suggest bringing the old crystals back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There have been dozens of threads in the suggestion box about getting that crystal through the Rak event - people complaining because they COULDN'T!! I got ONE of those crystals on my trooper and that was all I had time for - I hope they release the same armor from that event so I can get my hands on the belt I don't have If you want to get something that's been released but that you'd missed you're damned right you want them to release the same stuff again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still think if they released the same crystal, they should release a new one with it, to keep advancing. Perhaps they will when this event continues, who knows.

Any ways, would like it if I could get it from collections since I have it four times over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlienEyeTX Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 I just hope I can find enough play time to get the crystal. This is an ideal color combo, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ikinai Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Yeah, the color crystal is quite nice. I just got my trooper to 50 before I had to leave last week for well, stuff, been waiting a long time to use it. I've got other characters that can't use it yet waiting to level up.

That way people who do this even a lot, get a new rare crystal that no one else has! Lazy stuff in my opinion, Bioware. Sounds like you should've sold those crystals you were hoarding, OP. I thought we would have learned after the Life Day re-release. Also I'd like to second a request to put it in collections. I've got one on my sorc but as I've switched mains it would be nice to have on my new main and my later alts as well Oh well, guess I'll just have to farm them in the meantime.
