I'm on 7304 team ups. As William said in his correction above, the reward is a single 5* Carnage cover for using 10,000 team ups. When I think about all the hours of effort I've put into DDQ to use extra team ups each day it does make me wonder what I am doing with my life...
I’ve used 98 in all the time since milestones went live, and I play every day, with all PVE events to full progression (at least). The only reason I ever fire them is for the daily quests, and only if I can’t avoid it. You’re already teaming up by playing a game with three characters. You don’t need a sneaky fourth, fifth and sixth one lurking at the back, who once they’ve each blown their load are out for the count… Not a fan of the mechanic and never have been. I guess it’s mostly to help newer players?
Approaching week 1 and nowhere near the 2nd goal
Looking like we will get tier 1 maybe tier 2 by the end of it
There was no way we were ever going to get close on this one, hopefully their next one of these is a better one and nothing to do with team ups
To misquote Mean Girls:
Stop trying to make team ups happen! It's not going to happen!
This is just depressing.

Yeah. See if it had been complaining about maybe getting Omega Red I would have got us to tier four on my own by now! We need more complaining about tasks!
Like: Complain about Chasm on the forum 5000 times. We could smash that!
It's odd. They picked the one thing that most at higher levels never use and if you are at a lower level you probably aren't using them at any rate to make the numbers. This wasn't very well thought through by whomever came up with and approved it.

"We need something that is absolutely no work for us, yet looks like the community is involved."
When and why did the multiplier change? Its currently 2.36 lol. And we added just over 100k to the total in the last 12 hours? Can anybody make sense of this because I'm more confused than ever.

Reasons. Things. Huzzah!
We've been monitoring the numbers for this community challenge and decided to investigate after players weren't hitting the internal estimates that we were expecting based on previous average Team Up abilities fired. After some investigation, we came up with an issue which we've now fixed. This brought up the numbers immediately!
For a bit of inside baseball, many Supports have effects in Team Ups (AP, damage, etc). We didn't want every time one of these Supports fired to be counting as a Team Up (since it's in the power description), so they were filtered out. Problem was, we accidentally filtered not only these, but the entire battle that the Support was used. IE: If you had a Team Up affecting Support equipped in a battle and fired a Team Up ability, it wasn't tracked. Ooops! That's now been fixed.
Additionally, we've made a change to the Team Up Lending multiplier. Instead of being a binary 2x > 3x multiplier when the goal was hit, we've now made it a sliding multiplier. Meaning that the closer you get to the 250K, the higher the multiplier will get!

Good stuff.
@Borstock that made me crack up
So we’ll get more time, since literally half the time is over already?
We're still comically far away from all the tiers, though.
The rules of the game were unclear and the sheet showing progress was confusing. There is no momentum.
still feel that the rules can be read a few different ways and not completely clear.
Maybe next community event will benefit from the takeaway learning on the issues of this one and the last power firing one also. If there was some sort of task on the quests for using TU/sending TU whilst this is running whilst this is on it might get a bit more activity on them.
Just to be clear though, i personally dont want a TU task again, bit tired of them now and becoming a real chore
Too bad we can't give out rewards for the High Evo challenge; at least that one has actual rules and clear winners.
The new Puzzle Quest should had been centered around cracking the quest using TUs
I think it's safe to say that this event has not been a fan favourite.
0 out of 5 stars.
Would not recommend.
This whole thing never really made any sense when I read it. So I just skipped even particiapting. The numbers looked absurd, and many of these teams up are pretty useless in todays game.
Why would a player want to trade 1* Black Widows team up for Grey Suit? People ask for MBW, Whales, and Polaris pretty much for their utility. Not just to use a team up for no reason.
I don't even understand how the "fan favorites" were chosen.
