Purple Crystals for Republic. Still no response from Devs!

I like my purple headed one eyed lightsabre

Then you just have an unrealistic expectations of what the developers owe to you, in my humble and solely my own, opinion.

My 2 creds:

1). Only comes on mid and higher level 50 gear, so it isn't every other level.

2). People only want it because they can't get it. If you gave the Empire a saber with a "baby poop yellow" crystal that made the sound of a kowakian monkey lizard laugh every time you swung, I believe most people in this thread would be whining that they couldn't get it.

3). This game will be updated with new raids and new lewtz. It might be in there.

3a). If a purple crystal does drop in the next raid, people will still be whining because they don't want to work to get their super special snowflake status. ie: "OMG this is so important for my character that I want it handed to me without any work!!"

I kind of what this now

Or if it had a Jawa yell "Utini!" with every swing or shot. That would be great.

I was a little disappointed, too. On one hand, purple is my favourite colour, and it would have been awesome to have the colour crystal from an early level.

On the other hand, the game was likely designed with the future in mind. IE: when the game level-caps at 100, getting to level 50 to get your purple saber isn't going to seem so end-gamey, and it gives people something to work for. The problem with any MMO is that there's no guarantee that it will ever get to a 'future,' but the devs still have to plan for it to happen.

It's pretty common in any video game for the weapons to get cooler as your level goes up. For reasons likely associated with Mace Windu and Samuel L. Jackson, the devs decided that purple was the epitome of cool, and made that the end-game color for the Sith. If I was picking a color to be 'cool,' though, to me, logic would dictate that it would be a color NOT in the movie, like yellow. The other two endgame colors (Cyan and magenta) aren't seen in the movies if I remember correctly. So why did they pick purple for the Sith, and not, say, orange?

It'd be cool if all the basic ROY G BIV colors were available from the start of the game, then at the end, magenta and cyan could be available to both Republic and Empire. Then future expansions could make use of some of the Expanded Universe color crystal effects, like the lava crystal that appears to drip lava, or the Krayt Dragon Pearl, which creates the rare white lightsaber (even in the Old Republic was it rare, IIRC). Unfortunately, I'm sure the Bioware devs haven't read much of the EU, and assumed that because Mace Windu had the only purple lightsaber in the movies, that purple must be rare.

Which isn't necessarily a malicious design decision on the part of the devs, it just sucks for the people who are familiar with the extended universe. XD

Anyway, I'd sign this for reasons that I think it'd be cooler if endgame colors were yellow and orange instead of purple, pink, and cyan.

Firstly, you don't know how old I am so what a stupid way to start your thread.

Secondly, what's with the elitist "I am better than you" kind of attitude? So what if I want a purple LS to roleplay with? I also want Jedi robes to rp with too, so in your opinion that means I suck at roleplaying? If your as old as your trying to portray, you post certainly doesn't come across that you are and instead makes you sound like a complete kid tbh.

So once again, why come into a thread that has 0 effect on you, but you deem to tell me and others that we suck?

Shesh man, have a look at yourself.

And what is an unrealistic expectation? Asking for a response to a question on a forum where Devs are known to answer questions?

I am asking for a response to a question that I would like an answer to as a "paying" customer.

I am sure that others would like answers to their questions on whatever issue or problem they would like an answer to and once again isn't this what the forums are for?

I did say "most" in my first sentence, did I not? If I were one to sling insults like you do, I might mention here that being called "stupid" by someone with an obvious reading comprehension disability is awfully ironic.

You may also want to look up "elitist." You seem to have taken everything I said hyper-personally... I have no idea why, but it can't be healthy. You also obviously misunderstood everything I said, so you may want to wait for the Ritalin to kick in and then go back and read it again.

All I said was that purple crystals are, in no way, required (or even important) for roleplaying. It's a baseless argument.

What I said was that, if you can't roleplay without a purple crystal, you suck at roleplaying. That's 100% pure truth. If you choose to be offended by that, well, people will get offended by all sorts of strange things, I suppose.

Incidentally, if you expect anyone who wanders into a thread you're in to always hold the same point of view you do, then I fully agree with what another poster here has said: Your expectations are obscenely out of whack.

And I will say again, if it doesn't have any effect on you, why post.

What is it with all these people thinking they know why I and others would like something?

Where does it say that I and others have said just hand it to us?

Why does everything have to only drop in a raid?

Have you seen my name? Solo "MACE" as in Mace Windu. I think my post says quite clearly why I would like it and or would like a response as to why it's not available at low levels and for both factions.

Once again, you and all the other trolls and yes I say trolls, are simply coming into this thread to sprout your bile and rubbish for something that once again has 0 effect on you.

In the end my money is just as good as yours and I am entitled to ask for something. Entitled doesn't mean I will get a response, but I am entitled to ask the question regardless of you or the other trolls who basically are saying I shouldn't.
