Purple Crystals for Republic. Still no response from Devs!

Shesh,

Thanks peeps. Way to really derail the thread.

Those who don't care about colour of LS, fine, don't care and leave those of us that do to question why we cannot have a colour we desire.

Those who are trying to tell others how and why they should care or shouldn't care, are also not thinking straight, as an MMo is about all different flavours of players and how you should play an MMo is different to others.

The one thing that I am annoyed about is that in Beta, you could get purple crystals easily and item from vendors had crystals that could be removed. This was stopped at release.

Also, didn't I read the the guardian class was based of Mace Windu? Once again they must have had an idea that republic Jedi class be it sentinel or guardian, would want a purple crystal so they can imitate their favorite Jedi?

I see the Luke/Yoda fans can have blue and green. The dark Jedi can have red so why not purple for the Mace windu fans, or even just those who like the colour purple (not the film BtW).

So much for the blurb, "be the hero Jedi you want to be".

Come on peeps, stop trying to tell people how you think the game should be played and play it how you want. Asking for things in game is a different thing and me asking for access to a purple LS or the reasoning behind why I cannot have one, is not impacting on anyone else's game play.

I trust I am not alone in this.

you are not alone.

I too want my Mace Windu "Parties Over" lightsaber action.

Once again that's what you want and not what I want.

It doesn't stop me from asking and it doesn't stop you from asking.

Why this attitude of what you want is more important than what I want?

I am not at level 50 so what your saying is not something that effects me. Does that mean what you are asking for is wrong? Nope it doesn't. It just means it does not effect me so I don't care about it.

One thing about all us MMoers is that we are a very selfish bunch of people who only want things that effect us at that time. I don't think it's a wrong opinion, as we all pay the same money, but I don't go out of my way to say fix mine before theirs please. I am not that selfish...

we want purple!

Purple should in game at all levels, the coding was already there, don't understand why BW removed them.

You'd think something as simple as this would be returned to the game.

Lol I've killed plenty of npcs with purple, shame I can't just loot there sabers... Just sayin'.

Yeah umm..... I want a WHITE color crystal. Why isn't it in the game

Whether the colour unobtainable for the Jedi be green or purple, it is still a crystal colour that is in the game, & should be obtainable to those whom seek it!

Bioware.. I'm sick of the imp favouritism, (IMO) SWG had the same problem, the Empire had most of the goodies & the Rebellion was left out in the cold just a bit. I know SWTOR is not SWG, but SWG was shut down because of SWTOR. So I think Bioware needs to do more to fill some of the gaps that SOE left open.

They have such a time period they can do so much with, I personally don't see why they are not really doing much more to keep people playing. I mean the game has been out for barely three months, yet most of the server populations are the same density as SWG's where when that was beginning to die. It's the little things that people want, "Boo hoo it's just a colour, get over it!" yeah well what if your favourite colour was yellow & they left that out of the game?
Either way it should be obtainable to the greater public of the game. IMO purple is a colour for both sides of the force, I see it having no real bias between light or evil.

thats light red not purple

Honestly, I'd like to have a cyan lightsaber on empire too. Why restrict the colors? Repblic can get red sabers, why not just take off the restrictions? I remember how common purple crystals were when I was testing.. I miss that.

Well, this is certainly a new and interesting topioc of discussion. "I don't like my faction's unique items as much as I like the other faction's unique items, so obviously the developers favor the other faction and the game is broken...because lord knows I couldn't have just played the other faction instead" That about sum it up? Yep. Makes perfect sense. Never heard it before either.

Because having unique items that are unique just for the sake of being unique is stupid. Purple wasn't ever just a sith only color. Furthermore why limit a player's ability to customize their experience? Are the unique stories not enough to give people a reason to go one faction over the other?
