Lightsaber Color Crystals

NEED to be addressed. I don't mind there being super rare colors, but purple needs to be available widely to both factions. It makes zero sense that Jedi can't use them, when the only person to use one in the movies was a Jedi. Make them only craftable in artifice if you must - give that profession a reason to exist. But please, PLEASE, put them in the game! I think the reason why I get so worked up over this issue is that the restriction is just so arbitrary. I can have pink, or blue with a black core, but not the color of an iconic movie Jedi?

I'll have to agree with this.

Plus, light/darkside restrictions on colors is just silly.

I'll sign off on this as well, if my sith wants to use blue to taunt the Jedi by mocking there ways, he should be allowed to.

Or make a crystal color RGB combiner... X% proc to get purple, when combining RED + BLUE crystals of same type.

E.g.
To make purple lvl 37 + Critical Rating,
Both Red and Blue crystal has to be the same type of crystal at lvl 37 with + Critical Rating of the same quality. By increasing the quantity, it increases the x% proc chances to get the desired color during combining process.

They need to remove all stats from the crystals and remove all restrictions other than rarity.

I would disagree with you, but I can't find a logical argument against it!

In all seriousness, we can turn off sith corruption - essentially hiding how dark we may choose to be.
Whether someone else plays light or dark doesn't really affect my gameplay.
Why is there a restriction again...?

I made a point on General a while back saying basically;

There shouldnt be these stupid Black colors, Black Red Black Blue Black Gren Black Yellow, all rubbish, and I said a good way and many have agreed, if they added Rare End Game Crystals to be any color the user wants but the Blade has a visual effect, where depending on the crystal, has a Pulse effect, or emits a misty aura from the blade itself. Something like you can do on the Force Unleashed game.

exactly. there's NO reason for it.


if a Jedi in the Star Wars universe picked up a red lightsaber, he could use it just as effectively as if a Sith picked it up.

I agree with this, with an adjustment:

Red, Yellow, Green, and Blue should be the most common colors. In addition to all 4 colors being available through Artifice, Red would be available on all sabers that have a Dark Side requirement, Green and Blue would be on all sabers that have a Light Side requirement, and Yellow would be on all sabers that don't have a Light or Dark Side requirement.

Orange, Purple, Cyan, and Pink should be available at every level of Artifice, and only from Artifice, as you level the profession.

Black, White, and all of the two-tone colors (like Black-Red and Black-Blue) should only be available from Artifice, and at the highest crafting skill level.

I could get behind this. I think the black colors are hideous. If some want to use them, more power to them, but don't make them the freaking TOP TIER! Want the best saber in the game? Are you sure? It's ugly as all get out.
