Have you already got 3 story arcs running on other contacts? You can have a maximum of 3 Story Arcs running at once (not including mini arcs).
edit: Oh i just re read that. You say your contact bar is full? You mean the Detective *insert name here* bar is full? then you need to do the bank mission and complete it, return to the Detective and he will pass you onto a new contact.

Thanks for the reply 
I had two active arcs open when i started the Harvy Manlor arc. And i've been stuck doing these samey missions ever since. As i say theres normally a small book just by where the call button is but it isnt there for him. Any ideas?
You need to clear one of those active arcs. Its two yellow arcs and something like 7 red (cant remember for sure on red) that you can have open at one time

I'm not sure, but I always thought it was 3 major+unlim minor arcs, and clearly remember having Nemesis prototype+2 RWZ arcs being open simultaneously last week.
RWZ arcs and certain other (Ganymede?) count as "major arcs" irregardles of their length.
That said, been there yesterday... I was sure I only had 2 RWZ arcs open, yet Madeline Casey disagreed with me... Not sure which arc I did that made the difference, but eventually I've got her arc.

Pretty sure that's correct - but, when in doubt, this wiki page is my usual reference.

So, I was wrong, that's 2 open major arcs+unlim minor... Explains why I had problems yesterday, but how did I get 3 major arcs open then?
Hmm... IIRC I got them in that order: Levantera #1, prototype Fake Nemesis, Serpent Drummer, completed Levantera #1, got Levantera#2... then completed the Fake Nemesis arc... Bug?

Ohh thats new to me
. I always thought it was three Main Arcs and unlimited Minor Arcs. I guess this is something that has been changed at some point?

It's always been 2 main (yellow book) arcs.

RWZ arcs are Zone Arcs (red ones). The limit is 2 gold ones.

They still count as if they were gold for arc limit purposes (see the wikilink someone posted.)
OK, as the servers are down for maintennance i figured id hop on here and ask the brains of the forums a quick one.
I've been doing The Harvey Maylor missions most of the evening, and i cant get my head round what i've done wrong..
Myself and my brother, both at 50 got the contact after completing the bank mission in PI. After 5 missions my bro unlocked the arc. He has the little book by the progress bar, so no problems there. Annoyingly my progress bar with the contact is now full, but i'm not doing any of the arc missions. I get the choice of 'defeat 50 carnies', or a 'rescue person a..', or a 'grab the glowie mission'.
And its been a repeat of those missions for me all night long. The bar is full, but the missions are incorrect - i should have fought some malta, devouring earth or Praetorians but its been carnies all night long!
Just seems like i'm never gonna finish this contact and i'm forever going to battling carnies until i'm blue in the face
I hope this makes sense.. because i'm confused as hell
