Great, we're still depending on loot drops. The one change i wanted MOST was to get rid of having tocamp for crystals. But oh boy, now its dependant on npc difficulty? So now i need to camp Nightsisters! I'm betting crystal price will go up based on what dropped them.
"Umm... i just killed a nightsister and looted this crystal so it must be pretty uber ... starting bid 10 million"
TH posted in another thread that the way in which we get these will be changing, but that it hadn't been finally decided yet. Shrug

if that were the case, wouldnt he be telling you to sell them instead of keeping them?
That, or they may become untradeable, and acquired through different means...

I just sold a bag with 19 krayt pearls for 25 million....
ok.. so they were all from 0 FPC to -3 FPC.. nothing great.. but still.. hrm
Why did you sell your pearls?
lets start placing bets now.
who thinks it will be that depending on the crystal and pearl color, will determine the dmg your saber has?
lets hope this dark yellow pearl i got stashed is stun...

Yes, the padawan level is strictly PvE, while the Jedi level will be PvP. The Knight Level (what is master now) is the new area, and consists of the duals that were talked about in the archive. I'd like to hear much more about our defenses and such before I get too enthused about all this though. I want to PvP... but at least give me a chance ya know? A chance when it comes to attaint pearls/crystals without being a multi-billionaire, or in standing a chance in winning some of those PvP battles. While SKILL LOSS might be removed, the loss of XP that is replacing it will still amount to skill loss over time. Way too many unknowns at this point.
Um, the jedi level is NOT PvP, its still PvE all the way to knight, after which it becomes PvP based and you are perma-overt.
If you make your 5th gen out of decent crystals only it will be 7.0 speed
You need pearls to greatly reduce speed. Even the good crystals are nothing compared to pearls.
I sincerely hope the whole loot whor thing goes out the window . I have played since launch and never owned 1 pearl. Now climbing jedi after grinding like a fool I cant afford 6-10mil for 1 pearl. If this doesnt change i will def go the Main with fs enhancements and lay waste to jedi like theres a special on chicken dinners at kfc.
Paying millions for lightsaber components is the stupidest thing ever in a game ive seen. This is my issue #1

Somone posted on a trade forum that pearls are being nerfed. They also stated that all crystals that are in sabers will become pearls on the update. Any truth to this? If soo why are pearls soo expensive and not dropping in price?
yep, it's true. both the nerf and the transformation. Pearls still wont drop in price though, because there will always be some uber crafter or credit duper willing to shell out 10 million+ for them.
