DarkLordV_xRKx Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 Anyone else noticed the lack of new saber crystal options in the last few Cartel packs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
illgot Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 I bet we start seeing Crystal Packs being sold in the next few months. Honestly, I would be happy to see this as I am not interested in outfits the way the outfit system/augments work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeaverBlodhgarm Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 I think they didnt want to run out of color's honestly. By not having any in this GSF themed "Set" of packs they can extend the amount of time and let the rest of the colors bleed off the market. This will also make things new and fresh when they put a new "set" out and it has crystals, thus driving the need for the new "set". Its a two fold marketing ploy.

HuaRya Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 Running out of colors perhaps but not color combinations. For Example: Red/Blue Crystal Purple/Green Crystal Gray/Black Crystal Black/Gray Crystal Pink/Yellow Crystal Gold/Yellow Crystal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gwena Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 (edited) Anyone who thinks they are anywhere near running out of colors for crystals clearly needs to go visit a paint store. There are so many possibilities! Off the top of my head, I would like to see: Emerald Green Sapphire Blue Dark Amethyst Garnet Red Silver Pastel Pink Periwinkle Blue Light Lavender Pale Yellow And I could go on. xD I miss having new crystals coming out, and I really hope they'll return with the next shipment. As excited as I am for housing, I don't want home decor to take the crystal "spot" like GSF stuff did! Though I do like the idea of crystal packs.

The colors in a game has to be far enough on the spectrum so you can see a difference. One shade of a color will not cut it, that is I believe why they have used the "core" crystals with the dual colors. This makes the crystal stand out.

Magnusheart Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 For the answer of the OP. This pack series of CM was G.S.F. themed in title and colors. We got gas cannisters and engine reactant colors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We got gas cannisters and engine reactant colors. I didnt really think about this angle but I am sure you are right as the cannisters are like color crystals in a way. So I wonder what that means for housing packs that are bound to come after that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is definitely the problem, as it is now, all the primary, secondary and tertiary colours have been released, though there is a lot of combos they haven't explored, there will be a finite amount that will work. The problem with combos is washout, this is clearly evident with the blue yellow they released, as from any distance the blue simply washes away and it becomes another yellow crystal, the same thing will happen to many combos if theres not enough contrast between the 2 colours used, so this really limits their selection. There is some room for shades, but they have to be extreme for them to be of any value and again, very limited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
