Original Alignment contacts still in lists!

Hello,

apologies if this has been posted before but search brings up nothing.

Rolled a Veat to lvl 20 and switched to full Hero.

I still have a lot of redside contacts in my active list. These contacts are mainly the Papers contacts that you get automatically added the first time you zone in. These were added as I worked my way through the necessary tips and location zones during the alignment phase.

I also have a couple of contacts of the regular mission kind but none of them were ever started or have open arcs (minor or major).

I also have a long list of inactive redside contacts but that is not a problem.

Is the "Active" list stuff working as intended or can I remove those in any way. I wondered if I have had some sort or glitch or bug?

I am aware of the lvl 50 alpha slot unlock arc situation whereby if you start it on redside you must finish it there and cannot just carry on with it if you swap halfway through, but this is different.

Thanks for your time

The only thing I can think of on the newspaper contacts is if they are 'full'. By 'full' I mean that you did enough newspaper missions to earn a mayhem mission, but didn't do the mayhem mission, nor told the contact that you didn't want the mission. My Soldier of Arachnos had one contact like that after I switched sides. If this is not the case, then I have no idea.

Go and pick up a police band radio and most, if not all, of them will disappear back to the inactive list.

Logs in to Forum and reads responses.

Logs into game, goes to Talos and talks to the Detective and gets my radio.

Opens contacts list and, like a kid peering through a hole in the fingers, nervously glances at Active listings. Sees a Radio and a Levanta and a Pilgrim and acres of blissful nothings else

So, OV, if you happen to see a large beer delivery lorry stopping outside your home, make a space for a large consignment

Thank you so much for an idea that would never have crossed this old mind of mine. Such a simple thing to do, but as I hardly ever do radios on my higher lvl Alts something I could have been driven mad by for a long time!

Cheers
