Purple Crystals for Republic. Still no response from Devs!

Signed.

The fact that Republic force users don't have access to a purple sabre crystal is blasphemy and it completely contradicts the lore.

The devs have their hands full, trying to save their jobs.... Or actually more likely, looking for new ones, as the lead writer did, and the three devs who jumped ship for "The banner saga" a minor indy game.

I actually like the fact that Sith have another color besides Red, and I play a Jedi Guardian.

I've always found it dull that the Jedi have Blue, Green, Yellow, Orange, Purple, etc. and the Sith are only identified by Red.

I like to see Sith have a second color. They may only use Red in the movies, but as OP already mentioned we are in a universe that takes place 3000 years before that. And I like the idea of Sith having the Purple color in this era.

So for me it's not signed... too bad for the people that like Purple. I like Sith having a second color.

Who said sith have to stop having purple? It can be universal if red is also universal..

Okay, for those bored about these threads, the options are simple, don't read it and ignore it

For those like me, who are still pissed off that Republic don't "seem" to have access to the purple crystal, some type of response would help.

So, let me get something out there straight away.

1. Yes, we all know how Mace Windu got his crystals.
2. Yes, we all know how Sam J got his.
3. Yes we know that 3000 years in the future, they "maybe" rare.
4. Magenta isn't purple.

This means nothing, as this game is set in the KOTOR universe where purple (and I am using KOTOR 1 and 2 as a reference), purple wasn't rare.

Also, it seems Sith NPCs can have them at every level so once again "immersion" would say they are not rare.

So my point is this, what is the design philosophy of making the Crystal either unobtainable by republic or so rare that 2 months into the game, no one on the republic has got one and that the Empire can have them at 50? What did they think, people will still play for months and months just to get a purple crystal if they leave it out for the Republic side?

Lets not let any Rep or Empire have it for their toons until 50, so forget about all the days played before?

I'm having a hard time understanding their reasons on this.

They also deciding to ignore the tons of threads on this which I find also bewildering.

Just give us some insight into this please.

Cheers.

Are you actually trying to use CANNON as the overall reason? Because if that is the case... I do not think you want to do that in this thread.

I mean, we are VERY LOOSE ON cannon right now with the KOTOR theme. From why you want a purple to the story and CANNON around it.

Your assuming they ignore things is kinda silly. Your just mad they do NOT answer you. There is a difference. Right now plain and simple, a color crystal in the game and or the reason you don't have it as a Rebel is low on the list of getting stuff in place I would hope.

The point is, there is sooo many things out of wack with CANNON excuse that this one is minor in the scope of it all.

But don't use CANNON as the excuse... if that was the case you would be building a saber for days.. maybe have to get crystal from a cave and so on...

I would say your better off just saying "I WANTS PURPLEZ LIGHT SABER TOO CAUSE IT LOOKS COOL"... because that would be more honest then the attempt at the CANNON comment.

Now what you should do is link the more understanding story of why he left and that he is not breaking all ties and is even writing the next story in the Old Republic Novel line.. and I think seeing his long list he is cooked from it.

He has been around... this does not remotely mean sinking ship silly... lol please...

THIS is someone moving on to do something else he loves... not exactly a OH I QUIT DUE TO FAILURE... oh no..

And restrictions should be based on the light/dark choices not factions.
I actually like the idea of implementing a power crystal slot, separate from color. I disagree about the no fee to replace idea, however. Modifying your gear under any circumstances should not be free, imo.
