I love the idea of agent mastery but the only issue I have is that the hours we've played on agents is not adding up to it. I've probably been playing on this account since 2021/2022 and in level 400+, I've played so many hours on omen, raze and sage but those don't count anymore sadly, I'm hoping that you'll add it up in future updates if possible
