    At this point, my working hypothesis for our progress is fairly simple: The game is giving points for using Sam or Red Hulk (as well as the airbornes) and every day, one of the quests that appear in game require using Sam or Red Hulk in some capacity.

    So even players who give zero hoots about the community challenge but do care to do quests to get more season pass stuff will use them every day and get us all points.

    Hence we are more than halfway done after 5 days. There is no doubt in my mind that we'll clear Level 5.

    The 10th Anniversary, where we blew past the Level 5 goal, also was based on completing quests which appeared in game every day.

    We have completed challenges when there weren't quests to provide daily goals (and missed others without them) but the two I have been playing during with quests clearly appear to provide the best incentive/structure to help the community finish them.

    Actually we struggled with the anniversary challenge as well. If it weren't for the extra weekly prizes which gave people a reason to grind those zombie nodes for hours.

    That was this years anniversary (11th), the 10th year anniversary we blew past the goal as blue wolf said. They added extra stretch goals because we reached the final tier so easily. IIRC the final tier got us the power stone and stretch goal got us the time stone.

    Will the rewards be distributed on March 6th, cumulatively, when the event is done?

    I have the same question and coun't find teh answer. So far I have not been given any reward from this event so I assume the reward will be provided at the end of the eveny.

    Have any of you got the reward alreday?

    They usually all land at the end donโ€™t they?

    I seem to remember another time when they gave some out in the middle of the event before it was over.

    They have given out prizes in phases in the past. So its certainly not impossible. but no I haven't seen any prizes yet.

    Thanks for the response. I have not received any rewards yet, so I have been assuming (and you know what happens when you do that) all rewards will be delivered after the event.

    This is my first time participating in one of these events since I just started playing this game last August. Looking at this thread I am one of a few that could really use the stretch goals ๐Ÿ˜†

    I really hope the rewards come in before the seasonal vault ends. I barely made a dent.

    Currently only 17/60 and my season pass is already at lvl87.

    Agreed, even though I am only lvl 74 in SP.

    Currently:
    Season Pass has 10 days, 21 hours
    Season Vault has 11 days and 2 hours
    Days until March 5th: 10 or 11 depending in if you count today. That is just the end of the event so who knows if we would receive the rewards that day, or on March 6th.

    I am not sure if they would release the rewards for the vault that is no longer available

    Not the only one. Most of the forums for this game seem to be populated with longtime, expert players. Judging by the comment someone made that it takes 619,206 red Iso to completely level up a support, I will eventually need 22,291,416 red Iso to get my 36 currently Level 1 supports maxed, if and when I get them all to rank 5. And then there are 14 more that are currently ranked in between 1 and 5 that will need it as well. I seem to only be getting enough red Iso to bring about one up a month, so this looks like a goal that is over 3 years away from completion right now. I currently have 6 at Level 5 with no red Iso in them yet. I seem to be getting supports ranked 5 at a much faster rate than I can get the Iso for them.

    "Expert" - that is definitely us! Well some of us**. Yup. We know the stuff!*

    • I stumbled on here by accident and sort of just post pointless pictures but the REST of the Forumites - top notch! Except @ThisisClemFandango . Also maybe @turbomoose. BUT everybody else, proper Experts!

    ** @MegaBee hasn't yet to my knowledge provided any bee tips. Likewise @Godzillafan67. Godzilla tips that is, wouldn't expect bee tips from them obviously unless maybe Mothra tips? But seriously excellent otherwise!***

    *** Please don't get @entrailbucket overexcited, he will take you back to 2013 and talk about the golden age like he was your grandad. But apart from that...experts!

    The moment Swarm is added to the game...
