I noticed that we have recieved the same crystal the past 2 times the teal crystal. I thought of a unique idea to change this crystal as to make it rare, diverse and wanted that would also make it easier on the devs instead of having to program in individual crystals. Give us a very rare reward called something like the aurillian crystal or something. The mystery behind it is the crystal holds the 12 different colors of jedis past and present. When you get the crystal it appears clear like a dmg crystal however like armor you can change the color to any of the colors that have been proposed by the devs. It would be simple to change like changing the color on armor yet the colors differ from the normal looted ones like light blue like sky blue, teal green, true orange, and so on and so forth. This would make it so you can recieve the same reward but will make it diverse because once the crystal color is set it cannot be changed and to make it so the quest is worth getting the crystal will either not decay or will decay at 1/8 the normal rate of normal crystals to make it long and worth while.

That'd be nice i'd imagine but...then nobody at all would ever use colour crystals.

not really, they need to have pros and cons for each type of crystal, and besides, not everyone is going to get the crystal

well thats the thing because depending upon player response to a vote you could have the crystals be set to 1 color or allow them to remain as they are and have them changeable like armor color is right now. To get the most use they would automatically have 1k shelf life and decay at either 1/8th rate,1/2 rate or regular rate. This will make it so a person can have specially colored sabers. I also proposed in the jedi forums that they alter sabers so that the current color crystals add the elemental dmg but that add in another slot for the color crystal if people like my idea that way you can have a teal crystal color and to fit into this weird elemental schem you would put in say a blue crystal having it do electricity dmg in order to disguise what your saber elemental type might be adding in some strategy.

I could've sworn they were actually doing that in the CU, but not 100% sure, think I heard it from someone.....

could always see. We can petition for this idea to be added because instead of having 1 crystal per turn of the village you can get the same reward but choose to have it be what you will it would almost be like a veteran reward like the 30k resource kit you use it once and thats it you can get the armor color selection screen then boom choose your color the crystal stays that way.

do you guys still like this idea? It could be a way to get the special colors we want and to ease it up on the devs so that the village teal crystal doesn't seem to be a waste.
