Mission Transport Confusion/Harvey Maylor/Alignments

[lemming]

I have been doing Harvey Maylor missions and am in the Upon the Psychic Plane arc.

After your rescue Percy, the next mission in the arc is to hunt 20 Carnies.

I decided to just knock them out in St. Martial as a vigilante and grab the exploration badges. All solo.

On dealing with the Carnies, you get the mission "Rescue Ellie Weissman"

It put the mission in Nerva.  Odd, but fine.

I selected it and hit Mission Transport.  Had the usual warmup, but instead of porting me to the mission, it gave the message

"This is a side specific mission and requires all team members to be on the same side."

It then ported me to Peregrine Island for my other mission.

It then placed the "Rescue Ellie Weissman" mission in Independence Port.

You were trying to do a blue side arc red side. The game does that whenever you are in the wrong side for the content being done. It attempts to place the mission, but the provided way point for the mission is not correct. For instance, if the mission were to be in Atlas Park, odds are the mission location for your character being in a red side zone would show as Mercy Island. However, the mission is not in Mercy Island, it is in Atlas Park. And if you go to Mercy Island because you were red side and went to where the nav bar said, you would either not find a mission there despite the location stating Mercy Island or be directed elsewhere. To get the correct information, you need to be on the correct side. As for the whole "This is a side specific mission and requires all team members to be on the same side" bit, it is the notice to you that your character is technically the wrong side for the mission, simply due to being in the wrong alignment side area.

 

(Edit: The alignment system, particularly Rogues and Vigilantes, always was a bit of a kludge to get working.)

Yep.  Just pointing out one the examples on when this happens.
