The Guardians Have Taken Over

They would be if each tier unlocked all at once. The unlock order is a bit...worrying. It really doesn't make a whole lot of sense how they unlock.

I think they are experimenting with quests and how they work as they take over the code base.

The 'What's New' thread for May alludes to this
"Implemented support for multi-tier Event Quests."

So they probably wanted to take it out for a test spin and used the Guardians movie release to create 4 tiers worth of events quests to see how well it's received and how much gets completed in the timeline by the player base. From that they will be able to adjust things for the next tie-in movie/show or even create PvP season based quests etc.

You happen to have a list of Tier 3? Not the initial tasks which someone else already listed but the final 4 that come later? I’m on the initial batch of t3 and curious what awaits.

Unfortunately I didn’t write those down. From my recollection I know one of them was “use 20 team ups” which is why you want to wait until the “use 25 team ups” in tier 4 to show up, so that you only do 25 in total.

I can’t recall if there was another extra, but if so, it would have been easy and will appear before the TU one.

25 versus missions with Guardians, thanks a lot Devs. Guess I will be retreating a lot.

The pvp tasks don't require using GOTG characters to complete them. Use any character that you want. I used Chasm/iHulk on lightning rounds and Surfer/iHulk on the Beast pvp and didn't have a single problem knocking out those tasks.

Just so we have a list… Tier 4 currently has 17 quests (and maybe an extra one at the end like prior tiers):

-Fire 5AWarlock’s purple 50 times
-Complete 40 missions
-Fire 5Gamora’s black 50 times
-Fire 5StarLord’s green 50 times
-Make 100 red matches (similar to prior tiers, these color ones happen 1 at a time)
-Make 100 blue matches
-Make 100 green matches
-Make 100 yellow matches
-Make 100 black matches
-Make 100 purple matches
-Make 100 TU matches
-Make 400 matches
-Use 10 Boosts
-Play 35 PvPs
-Use 25 TUs (this isn’t an extra. Actually part of the 17, but it does stack with the quests from tiers 2 and 3, so wait to do those until you have all 3 tiers showing and then only waste 25 TUs, instead of doing them each separately).
-Give 10 TeamUps to alliance
-Deal 6M damage (used to be “to GOTG character” but I believe there was a fix that any character now works).

(Edited to add 12-17)

Hope this helps.

On a separate note, not super thrilled with the location for giving 10 tu's in tier 4. Preferred the tier 3 location. All that work and I can't compete the final tier cuz I'm not in an alliance. Weak.

Seeing how extremely grindy this is, I'm curious what the metrics show for the participation in this. I can't imagine a lot of people even completing tier 1.

They could have at least made it so we had to fire Gamora's blue stun sixty billion times or whatever it is and not her red. 10 red AP! And it sucks!

Of course it's not fun.
It's mindless matching 3.

Overall its terrible grind. Also seeing a quest u cannot complete because u need specific 5* cover is depressing...

HOWEVER... getting chunks of 100k iso at tier 4 is feeling good

Yeah.
Adam, Starlord, Gamora.
And there's 3 hours left on puzzle gauntlet.

Any reason you can’t join an alliance for the week to finish it out?
