I have had an admittadly brilliant idea. Why fix the HAR? (that's Heavy Acid Rifle) Instead why not CONVERT it!
Yes ladies and gentlemandoes, you heard me right! Screw asking to improve the Heavy Acid Rifle, instead, let's make it the "Heavy Cold Rifle!" Unorthodox, yes, but if they are capable of changing lightsabers to be 'lightsaber' damage, surely they can do something tiny like making the the HAR a HCR right? This would also give us access to a weapon that does an unsual damage type, and if it were made say, AP2, we'd have a rather unique point, sort of like the Fire and Ice
Is this just whimsy or a good idea in the making? (comments, suggestion please!)

Unusual, yes, but it would be an improvement over the HAR seeing as most mobs with high fire resist also have high acid resist. Personally I'd prefer they convert it into an assault rifle, but that's just me.

I'd rather they completely revamp the thin myself, though giving it cold damage could potentially be one way of doing that, I think they planned on keeping the acid damage to make it like a disrupter weapon.

Wouldn't that be awesome, having a high-power weapon like the acid rifle that does stun damage. That would definatly help us in PvP.

Thanks, but I was sort of hoping you'd say "HCR" what a great weapon you've come up with

I would love to have it as a AR1 or AR2 cold rifle. That'd be awesome.

That would be awesome.
As a rifleman/commando I already have the acid rifle (thanks geonosians) but the SG-82 is a piece of crap. seriously. It is pretty much worthless. Having the HAR changed to a HCR would be awesome. It would make sense to me because you just don't see anyone dishing out the cold damge. Its like cold was forgotten in this game. We have cryo-greneades, the SG-82... and what else that does cold damage?
Of course, if given the choice between a full revamp and just changing it to cold, i will go witht he revamp, but the cold idea is a very interesting propostition.

I do like the cold damage idea. Not many things have resistance to cold and pretty much all we got right now is the cryoban grenades. Maybe those will get fixed soon?

This is kind of an on the spot idea, but I was thinking about what kind of attacks this Heavy Cold Rifle could do. I was thinking back to KOTOR (now plz know I am not asking for them to put in a weapon from KOTOR, I mean an improved version), but there was one enemy capable of freezing you. What if besides just damage, there was a move capable of immobalizing an enemy for like 10-15 seconds, and at master, maybe a similar move that had a chance of "freezing" multiple characters. Commando has no knockdowns or dizzies, so this could be a great alternative.

OOO ice damage i like that and when we shoot the female Players and NPCS we should notice a ummmmm diffrence in there appearence cuz its cold after all *wink*
But yes we need to get more then just Heat damage that is useable as a every day wepon. Icewould be nice (hey that rymed) that way like some one else said in this thread. Ooo we have heat and cold. That way we could have both sides of the coin on that one.
Love yas
