I hate this! With the CU, in order to do more damage, you need either Banes Heart of Sunriders Destiny! So basically, you either see Jedi with the teal saber or rose saber! I want orange back! Or blue, or purple! I hate it!

and now we got the candy cane "lava" sabers to deal with... I use the dark purple crystal still becuase thats just the color i like saber colors to me anyway are a big part of your toon we need options all they need to do is add the other named color crystals.


pink and teal is Star Wars? if they had justgreen,blue and red then ya if you gona limit colors limit them to these 3 IMO. I say limit becuase 99% people want more damge so 99% of the sabers we see are pink or teal.... just amazing what these guy have tured Star Wars into.

If you watch ANH and then ROTJ you will see that in ANH the LSer Luke gets is not "blue" like in the new movies and looks exactly like Sunrider's in being a teal color. And same with Vader's in ROTJ, it was more pinkish than the red we see in the new movies.


While I think the Lava saber looks stupid. Other vareint shades of color were in the Expanded universe and this game follows both the EU and movies.


But other than that I agree, give us all the same elemental damage of 30% on the regular colors as well. Actually raise it to 50% on all of them since Jedi dont do the damage they should.


And make it so those special color varients are just for someone who wants different looks.

Yeah, malak. We definetly dont do enough damage, and I would much rather use one of the original color sabers.

I knew someone would say this. The ones on DVD could have changed all of that but they didnt. They in fact made the sabers better looking than the original but kept the palette the same. I am just pointing out the fact that Sunrider's looks identical to Luke's in ANH and ESB. And Bane's looks identical to Vader's in all 3.


I have my own theory as to why Vader's is not as dark red as the other Sith since they forge their own color crystals.


I am glad Lucas kept it this way so we can have our own imagination.

yeah, when they made the original they thought "we're gonna use banes heart and sunriders destiny colors, as those are going to be the more effecient sabers in SWG when we finally assemble a dev team"

Thank god they scrapped the lava crystal idea.. SpaceBalls didn't want it either

All in good fun.

O.o

Why cant we just add an option to the Banes or all "color" crystals that lets us choose color - regardless of damage? Ex give them all a default color - yellow or something - but when u loot em - the damage type is random - yellow heat , elec, whatever - then when you tune the crystal - you get to pick the color - but not the damage type - everybody wins. Sigh - ya i know - prolly never happen

I think necrossis or how ever you spell it should drop an attachment that can be placed on any color crystal that increases its elemental dmg to that of the current banes heart and sun runners.

Lol, I never said that... all I am saying is dont act like those colors did not exist in Star Wars. When in actuality they are closer to the Original Trilogy colors than the normal Blues and Reds we have in game.


Not to mention this game breathes a ton of EU items as well. Thus you will get the diversity. Except the Lava crystal palettehas to go. Make it a dark orange, just not all candy caned/reese's wrapper.

Sadly the only way to enjoy the apperance of the lightsaber colors is to mod them yourself.


(Not an exploit, it does not change anything on the server side, nor does anyone see the colors you changed. They will see the defaults.)


Sunriders Destiny= Movie Blue. (almost perfect representation of the episode 1-3 blue)


Bane's heart= Fire Red. (Deep red, I'm not a fan of light purple)


Other colors = enhanced and actually made a difference between orange and brown, and the dark and light colors.



This took me 10 minutes, can't one of the art department devs do the same????



Doing this has made my gameplay more enjoyable (thats all that matters right?).

sure while we're at it why not make the crystals harvestable in crystal caves. and we can "craft" them to what ever color we want.. this "crafting" would also affect the % damage depending on crafting skill... O.o
