    I hope Adam's quest goes fast. I don't want to have to tell anybody to wait a minute as I need to finish skeining. 🙁

    Tier 4 observations

    17 quests! And I am ashamed to admit that yes I started up on this at 5.30am. It is now 6.27am and well, I don't know where the hell I am with this stupid thing.

    Whereas the tier 3 Guardians were very useless, having a god boosted Adam is actually making this harder. These damned ninjas are too fragile. I can't Skein fast enough or laser them before Adam has already murdered them like the great big shiny gonk he is.

    Why do we have to match all the colours again? I already did that! Am I stuck in an episode of Sesame Street?!?

    There is something strange going on. Why aren't my Alliance members asking for team ups? I can think of only 2 reasons

    1. Do they secretly meet up when I am sleeping and exchange team ups without me?
    2. Am I hallucinating the team up quest?

    I seem to have reached the paranoia stage of this now, that is normal right?

    And so this happened:

    Mrs. Daz - Are you OK? You've been in the bathroom a while.
    Daz - I'm Skeining with Adam
    Mrs. Daz - ...Is..is that a game thing or a porn thing?
    Daz - Hang on..charged green, yes...BIt of Both!!!
    Mrs. Daz - There will be no more Skeining in this house

    I'm deceased. I laughed way too hard at this.

    Just got to tier 3; the fire powers a billion times ones are not very fun lol

    Tier 1 - hated only being able to match one colour at a time
    Tier 2 - can't remember, blitzed through this quickly
    Tier 3 - its like puzzle quest, which I thoroughly enjoy. Actually thinking about team choice in order to generate the appropriate AP to fire the required powers

    Still got tier 4 to do, and there has been a lot of PVE grinding which if I was a competitive placement player then I could see that would be an issue.

    I hope we get more fire X power Y times as general milestones. Gives a reason to use different characters and they can be completely optional for those players who don't want to join in

    Hopefully there will be more to come, with a few bits corrected to make the experience better - mainly quests running simultaneously

    I'm into tier 3 now with 5 days to go and no grinding.

    I expect to get into tier 4 before time runs out and then I might push 1 or 2 quests that are easily attainable for the rewards.

    A lot of the 'fire power X times' are can be really racked up in the wave nodes of the PvP if you aren't trying for placement and don't mind doing them a couple of times with IM40 as your 3rd character to generate lots of AP. I got Gamora's Red and Grockets Green fired 5 times each in just 2 clears. If I grind a couple extra clears I should be able to get a long way into a bunch of those later today.

    If these kinds of events are going to become common, I guess it makes sense to favourite 5s that are missing certain powers. I was quite lucky with Warlock and Star Lord in that both were on 305 shards and both their feeders were in level 294 so I only needed to open about 30 latest and 30 classics to get the required powers. Now I'm all ready for tier 4.

    Anyone know what the last tier 4 quest is? I'm just waiting on TU cooldown to give more. Thanks.

    Last Tier 4 is do 6M damage. No GOTG requirements.

    If you're in Scl10 PVE it's done pretty easily

    Honestly I didn’t find the ‘use power X amount of times’ to be that difficult. Did it during puzzle gauntlet and brought the Guardian I needed to use plus Valkyrie and then the highest level character I had that tanks the color I needed to use. And if that high level character got downed before completing then just retreat and bring the next highest leveled character and rinse and repeat.

    Yes it was very tedious but nothing overwhelmingly difficult.

    Definitely should have gone after these during puzzle gauntlet. The tier 3s weren’t too bad in the end; most had an available battery.

    You don’t have to win the PVP ones, you can join and retreat to advance the counter.

    It seemed like the tier 4 PvP ones too also didn’t need a guardian on the squad to complete either. I still needed like 18 earlier today to do and didn’t use any guardians in any of my games today and was able to still get it completed. Not sure if that was intended or not but I’m not complaining.

    I have some fun finding new teams to grind down the milestones. For 4* R&G, I actually used 4* ChoHulk, 5* Mighty Thor to complete it. 4* ChoHulk generate green and black charge tiles, which feeds into Thor board shake. The green charge tiles feed R&G green. Once you fire R&G green, Thor board shake will destroy it next turn and you can fire R&G again! Don’t need to wait for so long.

    Having said that, it is indeed a drag. It adds up to a lot of time and I won’t have done it if not for the huge iso.

    Probably said somewhere in this thread but why is Warlock required but he doesn't count as a gotg????

    I really, really hope they reduce the grind when they do something like this again. Because this absolutely does require grinding and it's tedious and takes a LOT of time.

    HOWEVER. However, other than that, I love it. I'm currently in tier 4. And constructing teams to do these and finding the best node to do them in is a lot of fun and has honestly given me a huge motivation boost. It's a sorely needed break from just "complete everything as fast as possible". If they get changed to be a little less grindy, I'd be very happy if something like this comes around again for other sets of characters.

    As an aside, I was running lvl 255 3-cover 5* Starlord/ lvl 209 Deathlok/2* Mags to do the blue matches one with. (Strongest 2 colors being yellow/purple due to Starlord being boosted, which makes Deathlok generate 2 purple/turn for Mags to make blue matches with.) They accidentally got through 3 repeats of a SCL 10 goon node (lvl 300-500 enemies!) and I just think that's funny. I wasn't trying to win the node and the only champed character in that team is 2* Mags lol.

    btw, someone told me that Blackbolt works to do the "firing skill" ones with for characters whose skill you're missing. My Warlock is only 0/0/1 and is missing purple, but with Blackbolt's yellow, I can fire it which is nice. Am 9/50 so far thanks to my trial run, but I'm going to wait until the purple matches quest comes back to do them. Made that mistake with 5* Gamora already, where I finished her and then realised there's going to be a quest for black matches. Duh, should have waited for that one.

    He’s most likely required since he’s the only other 5* that’s in the movie, other than High Evo but they’re not gonna use him since he just came out, but since the movie just came out they probably didn’t have time or think to update his affiliation to GotG since he’s technically not a Guardian.
