    Yeah I think I will lose a few boss fights in round 8. I'm going to have to try and build some synergy and stategy with supports. I don't have Adam and my grocket tiles never seem to last long enough to matter!

    I'm heavily boosting Round 8 and using Avengers Tower support to fortify special tiles nearly every match I make

    I’ve been running 5* Star lord/rocket/Adam, it’s been ok so far but my alliance won’t get that far

    Oh I forgot to add.. for those that are using 5* Starlord, he can use the Omnipotence City support for that double AP on the first match!

    Grocket, Starlord, Adam, with the occasional pack for Adam if he gets too low.

    I've been using grocket, 5 star gamora, and 5 star lord with 4 star elements gun support on starlord. 73% chance to gain 3 ap in a random color for each guardian on the team, and using color boosts. Starting almost every match with 11 ap in one color has worked out pretty well.

    To all the players that thought I was just whining to whine about the 12hr refresh, our alliance just squeaked at T50. Meaning that if I didn't stay awake until midnight every night to get those "few points", we wouldn't have gotten T50.

    The point is, the Dev made this refresh change cause players complained about lack of sleep, but this change impacted my sleep. Changing refreshes is going to impact someone. However, I did appreciate the less overall refreshes.

    Maybe changing the start time could help this? There are a lot less players at the start of the Boss events compared to other times. For instance, 12pm EST is Slice 2 in PvE, which only flips once, compared to the other slices that flip 4x.

    Midnight? Luxury. It was 5pm/5am here. It needs changing, but short of being able to choose our own start times, I can’t see how to do it without affecting someone.

    You have a 12 hour period to play each refresh. It is your own choice to play at the very start or end of each refresh period. So yeah, it does sound like complaining to complain.

    You know there are more timezones than EST, right?

    Well we had it tough. We used to have to get up out of the shoebox at twelve o'clock at night, and lick the road clean with our tongues. We had half a handful of freezing cold gravel, worked twenty-four hours a day at the mill for fourpence every six years, and when we got home, our Dad would slice us in two with a bread knife.

    But you try and tell the young people today that... and they won't believe ya'.

    You want rough, go back to PVE before there were time slices - and try to play from Europe.

    see, Dad just made it easier. Twice as many people each time, so less work!

    Luxury? I'll gladly trade the 5pm/5am with you to better fit my work schedule.

    Since there are Round Rewards for alliance placement, they could add SCL and time-slices to Heroic Boss. There are no rounds. The difficulty and points are based at the choice SCL with 12hr refreshes.

    You know most of the timeslice complaints come from EST, right? Look at every previous Q&A asking about time-slices, they're from EST

    Because they're from you 🤣
    But seriously, every time slice sucks for all of us.
    Just some are better at making them work for them.

    I think wherever you are there will be a problem fitting in a game around life. There is an arbitrary start time which doesn’t change and and end time that doesn't change. The event is always 84 hours. There are limited numbers of options to make it easily divisible and isn't hard for someone due to timing and time zones.

    As an example, if it were 10 hours, it still leaves a 1am - 5am slot for UK-based players. I can't see a point where that is "fair" on UK-based alliances. 12 hours is fairly reasonable since it gives most people an opportunity to play at some point. Maybe not optimally, or perfectly, but it is impossible to find something that will suit everyone, because real life exists.
