Open Arcs?
I have a Thugs MM that has become a Hero, I'm trying out story arcs on the Hero side.
I've tried running radio missions and then doing the bank missions from my detective, once I complete the bank mission my detective just thanks me and doesn't offer any new contacts. I've done this like 2 times now. After looking through all of my old and current contacts I've discovered that I have 2 open arcs as a Hero and have 6 open arcs as a Villain. So I'm wondering, is 8 the maximum open arcs anyone can have? |
Prior to Issue 17, characters could have a maximum of two active main arcs (blue book). With the increased active mission list from three to seven in Issue 17, the maximum number of main arcs that can be active was raised to five[1]. Contacts will not give missions that start a main arc if you are at the limit. They do not prevent minor arcs (green book) from beginning, however. While there may actually be an upper limit to minor arcs, there is no functional limit as there are reports of characters with as many as 46 minor arcs open at once[2]. Active minor arcs should not prevent main arcs from beginning. There are, however, some contacts whose arcs count toward the "two main arcs" limitation. If there is a mini arc active for any of these contacts, it must be completed as if it is a main arc. |

Thanks, DumpleBerry for the tip. It appears that I have all of my 6 story arcs on the Villain side as minor arcs, (they have the green book icon) so it looks like I have to become a vigilante and clean up those old story arcs on the villain side, so I can move on as a hero.
Not sure if the 6 minor arcs on the Villain side is causing me not to open new ones on the Hero side, but I'll go clean them up anyways.
I did some more digging around after seeing your post, I wanted to see what the difference was between major and minor story arc icons looks like and I found this posting on the forums, thanks goes to Zombie Man.
After applying the new texture to the major story arc icons, (see article) apparently I have 1 Major & 1 Minor on the Hero Side and 1 Major & 5 Minor on the Villain side. So I will definitely for sure go back to Villains to clean up those old arcs.
Gah. They still kept this in place?
Why the heck can't you just dump an arc you are not interested in? Having to clear up old arcs was miserable back when it was just a level issue. Now with changing sides, having to make an alignment change to clear up an arc sounds positively soul crushing.
Is there still no way to just dump/abandon/close an arc completely?
