Why not make the purple one the rare one? Its something people want really bad and something you want really bad should be worked for not fisted over to you
No. The weird colors (like black/blue, black/red, white, silver, etc) are rare. PURPLE IS NOT RARE! I shouldn't have to use a gosh darn RED lightsaber like every. other. sith. player. while I'm leveling. That's just dumb.

While I would like a purple crystal for my Lightsaber ... I don't see what getting this worked up about it will accomplish.

Purple crystals, as in lore, should be rare. I'm fine with things how they are.

Except that they're not that rare in lore...

And they're a common color in almost every other Star Wars video game...including the KOTOR ones...

But yeah, they should be rare... >.>

Guys, purple crystals are in the game, they just aren't prevalent yet because you need level 400 artiface to craft them. Before you know it everyone will have one.

This 'rare' crap is the absolute worst part of MMOs.

I'm Dark Side, so apparently there is a magical force that keeps me from putting a blue crystal in my saber, even though I can just equip a non-red/orange color and no one would know my alignment. The restriction doesn't actually do anything to promote Darkside colors, until you take into account the rarity of other colors.

This is case where a player is restricted from choice, by limitations on gem equipping and rarity. This is a stupid method of making players conform to some 'iconic' look instead of rewarding players for equipping the 'iconic' look or choosing their looks over stats.

Please drop this 'iconic' and rare crap and let players choose their own colors for their blades.

Show me the craftable Purple color crystal. Not the "Magenta" one that comes from a rare world boss. And I don't mean "Epic" quality. I mean the color of the blade is Purple.

Not. Craftable.

All we get is Orange at 400.

Didnt the Sith not have a lot of access to the real crystals and had to use synthetic ones which turn red in the synthesis process which is why they all had red sabers? COulda swore I remember them saying this in KoToR.

http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Synth...tsaber_crystal

Also, they should have linked the crystal colors to the force-forms like they did in KoToR. This would stop all the QQing.

Also I thought Mace Windu had a purple saber because he used a borderline darkside force form. He was supposedly the only Jedi practioner of the Vaada form that didnt goto the dark side, which is why he was the only one with a purple saber.

The Vaada form basically channels his anger/hate into the light. (Red+ Blue= Purple)
