Not sure if anyone mentioned this or not. The Hunter (neither 3 nor 5) does not have the Midnight Sons (how it's spelled in-game) Affiliation assigned to them. I had planned to use her, but instead am using Morbius as I fear using her would not count towards the goal given that she does not have the Affiliation.LMAO
I assumed the 3 did so I've been using her in DDQ. Unfortunately I ascended Blade so he isn't useable.
Well, at least I can stop using her and just use Omega again alongside Devpool and Headpool.

What’s the most point-giving player team that doesn’t involve the zombie costume?

And grind one of those low-level all-zombie wave nodes over and over?

I've been using the fourth one. One wave, tons of zombies, all weak enough to get chopped to bits by OR right away.

So on the first page of this thread, they say that Hunter counts for this challenge as well as Magik (in her Midnight Suns costume only).
So it seems like they didn’t add the affiliation but that it does indeed count assuming everything is working right.

If Tier 5 goal had "only" been in difference of 30 mio. from Tier 4 like all the prior Tier-differences, then we would have made it, but leaping from 130mio to 200mio is inhumane....even inzombie-like ;-)
My max point grind team Omeg5-Agath5-HeadPool is becoming zombies themselves now!

Here is an idea to close of this season with Dev-stylaz....
Update the Tier 5 goal to 180mio.... and watch the community roar with utmost pleasure in the grand finale!!!!

We don't seem to have got anywhere since I checked yesterday. To be fair this whole thing was confusing and quite hard so even if Tier 4 is where it ends I think we have done quite well.

Right, but is the game registering it as well...this site could say anything, but if the counter uses the Affiliation to credit the usage, it could be a problem. Your point about Magick's costume would counter that though, yes, unless that would add the Affiliation, which I'd assume not.

Honestly, I hope they give like 2 days extra, the first 2 days had like no zombies and people were mega confused, also the last pve events were a mess, Fight for Wakanda had very few swapped chars, DPvsMPQ was only two subs although many swaps and HaT has like one counting char, which is Nova in 3 nodes in the last sub
And you can‘t expect people to hit the Zombie pve nodes like 100 times each, some of us have a job…1 -
Yes, I hope we get another day until 31st. It would be fitting for it to end on Halloween.
Also note to devs, there are people who are still clueless about the challenge a month in. Let's face it, you can telepathically beam announcements into people's head and they will still ignore it. People just don't like to read or look up stuff online.
My suggestion is to have daily quests that organically contributes to the challenge. For example, kill 20 zombie enemies, or win with Headpool 10 times etc.

These community events won’t work until your progress is shown in-game.

They can go ahead and add a tracker but it not going to make a difference. This community challenge, they made a month long boost for characters that trigger points. They incentivised players with rewards for high contribution and we still did not reach the target. we also need to get rid of the, " we have not gotten t5 in last x times, so why bother trying" players it is not going to happen either.
Also we have completed two community challenges when there was no progress tracker in game.
My solution is just offer the stones in a store and be done with it.

They could rerun the infinity wars support store that introduced the stones.
I asked that in the Q&A but they politely ignored me1 -

The root problem isn't people ignoring communications, it's the truth that you can't force people to receive communications. No matter how many channels are leveraged with whatever frequency, some people will never see it. And the return in terms of reaching new people with each subsequent communication attempt drops dramatically.
If you want someone to see a message you've got to put it where you know they won't miss it, i.e., in the freakin' game. Pointers to other platforms are not sufficient.
Even if you get the memo in front of eyeballs, then yes, there is a hurdle of people disregarding, not buying in, effectively ignoring it. In this case, being resistant to changing daily habits, being resistant, even resentful of, a demand for increased playtime, etc.

Hence the suggestion in my last paragraph. Bake it into normal activities therefore you're making people contribute to it without forcing them to alter their habits too much.

My solution is just offer the stones in a store and be done with it.
The two we completed:
The first was at last year's Anniversary. I think a lot of lapsed players checked back in for the 10th and ascension which was at least interesting as finally something that felt different was happening. This helped the effort, possibly, if engagement was pushed up. BUT I think the main thing that differed was that the points came from completing quests which were in the game, and gave you iso for every one you completed. So even if you had NO idea that a challenge existed, you got something for helping the effort because there were QUESTS in the game you could pursue and get something out of.
The second one we completed was tied in large part to acquiring tokens (I think), opening them (definitely) and applying them - and a new 2 came out and they introduced the special 2* legendary tokens we all love to chase, AND had a whale challenge for getting your 2NC to 5* status so basically they gave us more things to chase to help OUR specific rosters as well as it just being a thing everyone friggin does. And we got points for it! And we easily cleared the challenge! And it didn't give us a Stone but it was better than failing to get one over and over and over again!
No "use your special costume you bought to get bonus points while also using that the other character with a costume but maybe both costumes help or maybe just one and which of these characters is the right one? no, not all versions, just the specific one we are mentioning on this forum post".
I am completely sick of these stupid end tier goals when they don't give us the events to use for points and FARK THIS WHOLE THING. Leave off the end tier if that's too generous or whatever. I don't really care if I can't get more stones tbh as I can one-shot many nodes already and most times I clear in 3-4 turns max every time.
The way we won is when they created conditions and goals that engaged thousands of players who only look at stuff in game that can benefit them directly, or when it's ancillary to things we already do all the time. So far.
