Allow Iconic Agents of all ranks be converted to a tradeable item that people can reclaim. Add an AA or XP reward for retiring Elite agents. Allow Iconic Agents like Santug Claugg to be retired. There is no reason for them not to be.
I was under the impression that all uncommon and higher agents were iconic but I stand corrected, there's a subset of uncommon agents that are non-iconic. Regardless, even without duplicates you have a massive excess of job level 3 agents. The only things you'd ever realistically run out of are rares and elites which are 100% iconic agents. Even that's only happened to me on a couple occasions, both post-autofill because it has a tendency to assign elites where a rare or even uncommon would suffice.
I would argue that the simplest solution is a toggle that prevents critical successes from giving you additional agents. Then, at least, the problem won't get any worse.
Yea still doesnt fix the problem. What they really need is a MASS conversion and that will help fix alot of the lag but when you starting getting alot of agents the problem is it takes too long to convert when its only 3 at a time.
The "fix" would be a better data structure that requires less CPU and network time. The amount of data which Overseer needs to manipulate is vanishingly small in modern terms.
I would be happy if they just tossed the Nth copy as long as I could pick N (or N was in the 5-9 range). I have not selected a recruitment task in ages. Get everything via quest rewards. Frequently getting two as well.
having max duplicated agents set at 4 or 5 would fix the problem for me , and if they had mass conversion on top of that it would be great.
Patch improved Overseer lag times. Did a quick test. Starting a quest that normally takes about 7 seconds, now takes about 5. It is an improvement, but it doesn't eliminate the need to auto-reduce the number of duplicates.
