saber color options affected by alignment

saw this on the dev tracker:

EDIT: Et juste une ligne en dessous, "Georg Zoeller confirme : la couleur du sabre-laser n'est pas lié à la classe, mais au crystal que l'on implante dedans."



Cela est correct, mais pas complet. Il est vrai que la couleur dépend du cristal, et que chaque faction a un accès illimité aux couleurs traditionnelles (par exemple: cristaux bleus et verts pour la République) . Mais pour les couleurs opposées, l’accès est pour l’instant limité par l’alignement du personnage. Donc, il faut suivre le coté obscure pour avoir un Jedi avec une lame rouge. Bien entendu, comme tous nos systèmes, nous testons tout cela et il est toujours possible que les détails changent un peu d’ici la sortie du jeu.

This is correct, but not complete. It is true that the color depends on the crystal and that each faction has an unlimited access to its traditional colors (for example, blue and green crystals for the Republic). But for the opposite colors, access is for now limited by the character’s alignment. So, you have to follow the Dark Side to have a Jedi with a red blade. Of course, like all our systems, we are testing all this and it is always possible that the details will change a little before the game is out.

Il est donc possible pour un Jedi de trouver un cristal rouge, mais ce cristal ne peut être utilisé qu’avec un certain rang du cote obscure.

“Only the possibility of using it”. Instead of access, I should rather say “usage”.

So, it is possible for a Jedi to find a red crystal, but that crystal is only usable with a given Dark Side rank.

    Cool. I reckon a blue LB looks pretty good on some of the Sith Inquisitor gear.

    p.s. I suddenly realize that dual wielders ofcourse get to use two different crystals so they can really go all out disco with colors. Whilst I doubt that double bladed lb classes would have the same option ...

    Yet another compelling reason to pick Sith Warrior -> Marauder. Though I expect that disco dancing would befit Jedi Knights even more.

    Hmm ...

    I'd want to have a silver blade.

    Or a pink one. XD

    Well that kind of sucks.

    I was kind of looking forward to dual-wielding one red and one blue like I did in KOTOR.

    There was a sort-of-silver color crystal in KoToR so.. :)

    This is true,  and being neutral (as all my characters will likely be)  I'm guessing that will be the color for them.

     

    I rather it be based off of crystals than alignment though...  I bet they'll change it, or at least have an option for it.

    Looks like they actually say that you still can: full access to traditional colors for your side + opposite colors if your allignment permits it. i.e. bad ass Jedi Knights or wussy Sith Warriors can go all out disco.

    It is based off crystals, they're just saying that for example if you're a jedi you can choose from green and blue crystals and if you want access to the sith red crystal you need an evil alignment, and if you're a sith and want a green saber your character needs an alignment with good, but it's still the players choice. Atleast that's what i got from it.

    You sure do like disco today.  Funny,  I never would have pegged you for a disco pony.

         Personally I rather like the idea that my choices have consequences, so as far as I am concerned they can keep this feature.  After all, it may end up being a neat little way to recognize the types of choices people have made in the game.

    Interesting design decision. I wonder if my Jedi alt will have to kill puppies to be able to use an orange crystal?

    No, these are LIGHT sabers... as we all know,  to achieve plaid you have to have a ludicrous saber.

    Methinks its a shot at Dark Jedi = Sith,  or something of that sort.

    Let me rephrase.

    I was kind of looking forward to dual-wielding one red and one blue like I did in KOTOR with out being restricted to how I am suppose to respond to affect my alignment.

    There was no such restrictions in KOTOR, why should there be one now? It's kind of pointless.

    In KOTOR your alignment determines what force powers are stronger (force lightning versus healing for example). But for light saber colour that's really more personal choice? Seems a bit silly.

    I think what he was saying is,  the traditional colors for your side,  (like republic would be Blue)  would always be available,  while red would have to be made available by your alignment.  So you could be a dark jedi and use 1 red and 1 blue lightsaber.

    Personally the only modern MMORPG trend that annoys me is the idea that MMOs need to be designed in a way to attract people who don't actually like MMOs. Which to me makes about as much sense as someone trying to figure out a way to get vegetarians to eat at their steakhouse.

    And you're not getting what I am saying. That any colour should be available regardless of alignment.
