Questions about the Roy Cooling arc (spoilers)

That level range where Tsoo and Carnies overlap doesn't leave a lot of Tsoo mobs available to spawn. After level 25ish Tsoo just spawn as Inkmen, either Red or Blue. The level 20-30 Rogue Alingment mission is pretty much all Tsoo. I think the mission is pretty cool, but once all Tsoo minions are the same mob, that mission gets pretty monotonous.

What really bugs me about the Tsoo is how they have all these really cool and unique bosses (I like that part) that are level locked to 5 levels (this I don't like). Head to AE and take a look the level ranges for the Tsoo bosses. It seems like such a waste of great art assets.

Several mobs in this game have mobs that spawn as bosses in the low level, but in the 20s they spawn as LTs. Lost Aberrant Eremite as an example. Some of those Tsoo bosses for the early 20s would make good LTs in the low 30s.

Also Chimera has Ninjas as for henchmen. Those Ninjas start at 45. Can't be that hard to make a NPC powerset that spawns at 45 usable by NPCs at level 30-35.

Alright,

What I really want to know here is: Who designed the final boss fights?

I mean...I loved Castillo. I totally liked that he's a drama queen kind of bad guy who thinks he's all that etc.

I genuinely enjoyed his multiple fights. But then why tack on another EB?

There is no break. No opportunity to get some additional inspirations. Nothing!

What pissed me off the most was that it didn't take damage from the fire that was happily cooking my *** if I so much as stepped too much to one side.

There is a huge freaking AH-64D Apache attack chopper fueled and ready to go, but I can't at least jump in it and fire some missiles at that thing? There was nothing to use in the environment to make the fight more tolerable.

My DP/Ice blaster died about 3 or 4 times trying to take that thing down. It shot me multiple time through 4 and 5 purples. Worst is the fact that I couldn't take it down fast enough before my inspirations wore off. That part was just stupidly done.

I thought we were at a point where we would start to see some more interesting things done with the environment in special battles to allow us to approach fights in different ways. This was just plain retarded in terms of difficulty if you weren't something like an elec/elec brute.

off topic of the writing, but finally got around to playing it today, and i really wish on the fire rescue mission that, after slapping arrows on just about every boss at that point, that they had put a indicator that you could use the easy to overlook fire escape door.

I enjoyed the arc, though you have to remember to apply a good dose of comic book logic to it. Why can't you just build a new prototype MacGuffin? Because it's the prototype. In comic books, that's how it works. Nobody ever builds backups or makes copies of the schematics or anything, there's just the one-of-a-kind, irreplaceable prototype. And the bad guys reveal their hand by making a grab for it immediately, rather than just sending an agent by the MediTech offices to plant a camera in their xerox machine. What does the device do? It keeps the Praetorians from jamming mediports. How? With their mediporter jamming devices, of course. Because they broadcast mediport jamming rays.

This is totally normal for comic books. What you're asking for is a pretty typical comic book plot to be plausible in the real world. But that's no fun. I'll take fun, exciting comic book plots where I can be a super hero over "realistic" plots any day.

So I was reading one of the other threads where someone, I think it was Sam, mentioned the Praet Penelope Yin arc. I had never played through this arc, so I went to the wiki and read through it. I believe much of the motive of the Malta can be found there. Just to be nice depending on how much you've played through *Possible Spoilers*

They have concerns that their tech isn't at the same level as the Praetorian stuff. This would mean that they would want any tech that emerges, that pulls advantage from the Praetorians, the moment they hear about it.

Additionally if they discover that the tech is ment to save the lives of metahumans in an invasion, and obvious secondary objective would be to prevent it's use by those metahumans. I believe this would be secondary because a group like Malta would look long term and see that technological superiority would be the more benificial goal in the long term, allowing them the ability to defeat more of their enemies.

And looking at the story as an outsider, I noticed something interesting. The only evidence that shows Malta was even involved, is when the Titan showed up. It means that 'Peter' could walk up, say he's from Malta, be implicated in the whole situation, and there wouldn't be a shred of physical evidence that Malta even exists. Except for the Malta tech they sent to try an salvage the situation. All there would be is a bunch of dirty cops, sky pirates, and incoherant testimony saying some group no one can prove exists is responsible for it all. That actually sounds familiar. A Malta operation that no one can prove they did, that makes the people, saying it was them, look insane.

So Malta operative that no one can prove is a Malta operative, approaches a Rogue PPD convincing him to steal the tech and the Information on the tech so it can be given to the people. He sets it up to be stolen by the Sky Raiders, and tries to make it look like the Family did it. But when he's found out, cuts his losses and simply tries to get the information on the tech for their use without worrying about preventing metahumans from using it. However his hostage was saved, his guards were beat, and he was arrested. And assuming the wreckage wasn't destroyed, the only way he could be linked to a group no one knows about is the robot they sent, when they could of just let him be arrested, and sprung or killed him later.

Inconceivable!
