No, that's about right I'm afraid.
I had this myself, very few times was I able to run an entire Zonal arc in Praetoria, especially if I joined a team or two as well.
If you stick to soloing you can have the opposite problem, where you can completely finish an arc and still be too low, but at least in that case you can start another arc in the same zone, or just join a team for a bit.
It's a conspiracy lead by Cole to keep people in Praetoria.
This is quite common on both fronts.

Working as intended. The same thing happens in the rest of the game when you out level story arcs. That's why we can turn off exp thru Options. It gives those of us who aren't in a mad dash to the level cap a chance to enjoy the content.|

I talk to her, again and again, nothing comes up. I try talking to the guy, he tells me he hasn't seen my face around before and that I should scurry back to Splice. Is this because I'm already too high level for his missions? I've noticed before that if I level up too much and don't contact Calvin Scott right away I can't access the missions in Nova Praetoria anymore since he's already recommending I go to Imperial City. Is this intended? It feels like I'm missing out on a big part of the story of Praetoria by not being able to do these earlier missions. Levelling up has become a scary thing for me just for this reason. I mean sure, I've already done his missions on a different character so I know what's supposed to happen, but that's no excuse for other players who might not be aware of the fact that they missed out on a lot of cool stuff. And I'm not even going to mention the rate at which you level when teaming with other players, which is the main reason I'm already level 11. If teaming with others is a no-go because you won't be able to do your own missions then... It just seems broken to me, perhaps unintended even. Maybe someone could shed some light on this. |
Just click on Options then scroll down the first tab that appears in the pop up window. There's a long list of things you can turn on and off. Look for earn xp and set it to disable. Then when you are done enjoying the story you can turn xp back on.
This complaint is as old as mmorpgs. Hopefully they will be adding paper/radio type missions to Praetoria.

This will give you a nice little button labelled "XP" that turns your XP on or off whenever you want, without the hassle of digging through menus.

still not as bad as haveing an open story arc on an inactive contact ... still counts as an arc to your limit of i think , what is it, 5? , but absolutely no way to complete it
