Why does Harvey hate me?

So I decide to see if I can get Harvey Maylor off my contact list.....
"Can you do a newspaper article about the Carnies?"
"Sure"
> Mission: Defeat 50 Carnies
> Drop Mission

"No one believes the stuff I write about the Carnies. If people see you fighting them, it may convince people."
"Sure, Harvey."
> Mission: Defeat 50 Carnies
> Hunt and defeat 50 of the elusive Carnies in Peregrine Island.....

"The Carnies are really getting out of hand. I need you to keep them in line."
> Mission: Defeat 50 Carnies
"Bite me, Harvey."

Seriously, 3 "Hunt 50 Carnies" missions in a row? Is this guy broken or stupid? And no, he isn't just killing time before offering his arc because I have too many arcs open or anything like that. I already got and FINISHED his arc.

Maybe he hates me because he knows how much I hate his guts.

Yeah, he is both broken and stupid.

He is Brupid.... Wait, that sounds pretty dumb.

He is Stroken.... Wait, that can't be right...

Ahh forget it, yeah he is just broken and stupid.

You remember that kid - didn't really know his real name, but everyone else called him Gaylor and took his lunch money, so you did too? Well, it's payback time!

I feel your pain, Ironblade. Easiest way to deal with him? Leave at least one other mission slot open, and take a radio mission to beat up on Carnies. Voila.

So...after you finish many contacts' storyarcs, while you're still in their level range, they'll offer you constant hunts if they don't have any new contacts to give you...

Just for future reference...

Don't take it personally if you think I was mean to you. I'm an ******* to everyone.

It's a penguin thing. Pingu FTW.

No, they will just offer you the hunt missions they have to offer. They won't offer endless hunts.

It just seems endless.

I wish they'd put a place in PI where Carnies reliably spawn, at least.

You hate Harvey...? I love him.

I love him because I would rather fight 50 Carnies ten times in a row than fight 50 Nemesis, Malta or any of the other PITA villain-groups we're given in the upper tiers of the game.

Now the PI outdoor Carnie hunts, those I drop because only about 5 Carnies spawn at a time [or so it seems] and I am not making a circuit of PI umpteen times, waiting for them to respawn.

But I like Carnies; I really do. They are weak to Fears, Confuses and stuns.

He has five missions outside his story arc, three of which are the hunt missions that you mentioned. So, if you still want to get him off your contact list, you should be done soon.

---

Heh, I've been having a similar problem with Maxwell Christopher. I picked him up as a contact at the same time as the Lady he is standing next too, intending to do both their plotlines simulataneously; do one mission from one, one mission from the other.

However, I had both gotten the other lady's plotline and finished it, before Maxwell even let me start his. Just an endless stream of generic Nemisis missions, hunts or (worst of all) stupid meritless mini-arcs. Gah! I so wanted to throttle the dam contact at that point.

to OP: you're lucky. One the hunt and kill mishes he gave me involved taking out 65 Carnie

If it weren't for the fact that I'd outleveled her and the arc was mostly lolmissions for my Ice/EM Tanker, the second-to-last mission that Janet Keller gave her, "Defeat 100 Crey", would have been a royal pain. Fortunately, it mostly consisted of "Jump into a large group of Crey, taunt them, apply Whirling Hands, let Icicles whittle them down" until I ran the total down. But some of the seemingly-interminable hunt missions can be tedious, particularly the ones you get before they give you their phone number. "Go to zone X and defeat 40 [group]." Run there, defeat, run back. "Go back to zone X and defeat 50 [group]." Run there, defeat, run back. "Go back to zone X and defeat 60 [group]. We're getting close now; I can feel it." Oh, yeah, feel this, you sadistic rectum; just tell me to go there and defeat the whole count at once, it will be faster.

I hate Harvey Maylor because of these hunts. Hunt missions themselves are bad enough (and yes, that 100 Crey mission is an insta-drop), but to hunt high numbers of a faction in PI, where there is limited area and all the factions share spawn points, is ludicrous.

I often stop by to see Harvey as I travel through PI and give him a hearty /em slap. He really deserves it.

They all laughed at me when I said I wanted to be a comedian.
But I showed them, and nobody's laughing at me now!
