Wynternight Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 and btw Sith and empire players cannot have another color than red ! that will be nonsense !!!! if i se a bad player with another color than red i quit. (and don t tell me you choose the light path because if other sith see u are not red they NEED to kill you on sight as a traitor !) Damn, my Assassin with a blue saber must be a figment of my imagination then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msales Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 I am wanting purple very badly as well but I'm not going to QQ over it. I am happy with my red or orange crystal till I come across a purple. If it is a rare find then I look forward to obtaining a rare color. I for one am happy it is rare because I would hate for a color like purple to be exploited by every sith/jedi in game. Rare I can cope with but as the op said its not right if it's only available via raiding (unless it's BoE) personally I'd like it to come via a rare schematic that's then expensive to craft) that would make it 100% obtainable but not commonplace. I'd also like to see more different shades of colour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sky_walkerPL Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 When EVERYONE has a purple crystal you won't want it anymore. LOL. Typical MMO player logic. You know that people might want this for Lore reasons, role-playing or shaping the character the way they imagine? This argument is the silliest I have ever seen in the whole discussion about color crystals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlkalineKitten Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 A white crystal is also in the game. Nobody has ever said that you would have access to all crystal colors without raiding. Corran Horn?! YEAH! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sky_walkerPL Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 You're still free to obtain it for any of those reasons. It just won't be handed to you by achieving level 2. Sure, noone expects that I hope. Still though: IMO the colors of lightsabers are way too strict. As someone told: Some very uncommon colors can go as rare, but seriously: Purple?! W00t??? You see purple crystals in this game on almost every planet, and yet you need to wait for level 50 to get it in operation, or play the silly minigame (aka. PvP). As for me it's fine - I don't use purple crystal, and don't really care about it. Much more gladly would use cyan or white crystal if we are on topic of rares, and also I got quite a bit of minigame commendations to buy some gear, perhaps also I can get item with purple crystal - no idea honestly. Still though the rare crystals should be powerful crystals, not crystals in one of common Star Wars colors (and: orange, cyan, white, magenta, etc. colors actually also do count as common cause we are in the old republic era. They were less popular after the Clone Wars but in the times this game is all of the lightsaber colors were freely available to the Jedi Order members (and probably also Sith, although they choose red anyway ) ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperJason Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 Run a hard mode flashpoint or normal operation, check out your rewards vendor and look at what color the saber is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sky_walkerPL Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 You get a purple color crystal* from a PvP saber. Just from pure curiosity I just checked all the gear from PvP vendors as well as commendation vendors, Rakata vendors and Columi vendros - couldn't find a single purple crystal in any item. All unusual colors I've seen were: - Light blue - Blue with black core I checked all the vendors just in case some weapon would be thrown into Armor vendor, but it wasn't a case. I looked into both: lightsabers and guns. So... anyone can come out with specifics rather than "I think it can be obtained through PvP gear" ??? Screenshot would do wonders.

I've heard only Empire gets purple through PvP. Republic has to raid. *sighs* I suppose I'm fortunate in that I love my yellow crystal. I love small group missions but I hate raids.

I've seen a purple coloured pvp sabre but it was a purple item, not orange. I doubt reverse engineering would give a purple crystal so I think this whole pvp thing is a myth.

Aidan_Pride Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 (edited) no myth...someone posted a screenshot of a lvl50 purple lightsaber that he chose as pvp reward, but he didnt know it was purple before he drew it out the first time. and when you arrive on taris...many guards do wield purple twoblade lightsabers...gee i wish i could kill them just for fun to obtain them, so there is no argument its against lore since sith already have it ingame...but just the npcs. thanks...

I did this as well, some time ago. There may well be a purple saber from a PvP vendor, but there are no sabers with a purple crystal. And there's no way to know what the color is by mouseover unless it has a moddable crystal. You have to actually buy it and activate it. This is definitely something someone just imagined and has been repeated as fact ever since. At least Republic-side. And a purple saber that can't have the crystal removed frankly isn't good enough. Once you earn one, you should be able to take it with you as you level in the first expansion and get new sabers.

wolfsheadbane Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 Yes not to mention this makes artificing a joke , there is no need to buy a saber crystal from an artificer when you can get the same colour in abundance from any of the 1390571395713097 weapons that have them in it , essentially making artificing a useless trade since there are no schematics for purple or white Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doracahl Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 Im sure they will come up with something for it eventually and as far as people saying they want all the colors available. Just think of how bland everything would be, people are already complaining about there being "nothing to go for" and now others are complaining things are -too hard- to achieve. Too many people complaining already in this game, its ridiculous Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
