Look… I’m not server 1… but i just wanted to know. WHY Make a red skill and not an orange one?? Probably less than 5% of players have reached the red 0 rank… let alone unlock the red skills…i just think that was kinda of a dumb move on PB’s part

I’m not a high enough level to go for these red skills, but from what I hear it’s wayyyyy to much. 200 chips??? That’s a lot… and plus there’s more…

After reading this entire thread I believe the best course of action is this:
Red Skills “Stay” on Server 1. And by that I mean if you have unlocked them you can keep them, but the new City Watch difficulty will disappear and no new way to unlock them will immediately appear. Additionally Red Skill will not work in PVP modes. You can sell any Keys you have left.
Then wait till the cap increase update in November-January. Any of those months will work (That way more people will be close to having or already have Red Heroes). In whichever update you release to server 1 Red Skill Tales (Got the idea from @Noble_Moon). Every character who has a red skill has a Red Skill Tale. You get dialogue and then you get an objective (Like @Jackal403 said). After you complete a certain amount of objectives (I don’t know 3? 10?) you can unlock that heroes red skill (Because the objectives will have cumulatively rewarded you with enough of the chips and stuff.
Doesn’t that sound perfect? Not on Server 1 btw.

Yes & yes & yes to the point about skill quests -
Something that doesn’t seem to have been brought up here yet (though I’ve seen it once or twice elsewhere) -
What’s up with the names?! If we’re having red skills, they need to have actual names like the other skills do. “Kevin Flynn’s Red Skill” is just the laziest & most boring thing I’ve seen in the game to date.

This is the same for the other skill colours that are level-reduced (ie. blue & purple go all the way to 135) and was confirmed by PB to be intentional in order to bump the difficulty. It’s probably intentional for the red skills, too
Was it intentional that you ask this and then provide the city watch immunity to buffs and a huge shield making it almost impossible to complete? Really highlights the terrible aspects of this mode

As I remember, Polaris mentioned that the skill names will be added soon. Wakkatu has the names on some languages.

I can’t even get past the first level in epic city watch .I don’t have many red hero’s and can’t unlock it . It’s entirely to hard for players that don’t have strong hero’s. I already dislike it. To much time. It should be available with gold .

Simply a terrible idea. Way too many resources are required for red skills - especially since we’re being overloaded with too many heroes on top of it. There’s no point in even trying.
I can’t even beat City Watch on normal anymore because I can’t level up any of the newer heroes, so an Epic level is just beyond ridiculous for me to even think about.
The game is being flooded with too many heroes, and the rewards and resources just are not available like they should be.
I’d have to spend a LOT of money to even remotely catch up and be competitive. If your goal was to make people want to spend more money, it’s done the exact opposite with me. I used to spend about $50 a month, maybe a bit more because I felt like the deals were worth it and it helped. Now, it feels like it doesn’t even help, so there’s no point in me spending my money.

You have to spend money way before red skill. I mentioned this in my post: I used to spend roughly 50 month, supporting a game I enjoy and play daily. Those deals felt worth it, like they gave me resources worth the money. Now… it’s not even a drop in the ocean, so why spend any money at all? I’ve stopped purchasing deals because there are too many heroes, and too many badge bits to get, etc. Worst of all… I’m just no longer having any fun.

I very strongly dislike this concept for 2 reasons:
- We have many modes that take a lot of time weekly: Surge, City Watch, Invasion, Heist, Friendships Campagins and Contests.
- We have enough “other objective” stuff to do already such as: Weekly Challenges, Challenge Books and Collections.
I really, really, don’t want to spend any more of my time doing other random tasks. Additionally I don’t want to play any game mode with less than efficient heroes for that mode.

Allow me to try to convince you.
A great deal of these “quests” could be part of that daily/weekly gameplay. As an example, my proposal for Zurg (see above) requires you to do 10,000,000 damage cumulatively with his Ion Blaster skill. If you have his Red Skill quest unlocked, he’s clearly a hero you’ve put time and effort into, so he’s going to be usable. Now all that needs to be done, is using Zurg in the eligible modes (Invasion, City Watch and Surge in this example) and activating his white skill. The damage from each battle is added to the total, and once it reaches 10 million (1 day, 1 week, 6 months, it’s up to how often you use him) that quest branch is completed.
If the red skill is something you want to focus on, you can knock out 10 million damage in the first few hours of Invasion with Zurg on a Blue week. In this way, some of these quests could be completed in the background while you do everything else, some could be completed while completing other quests, some could be your primary focus, but the main idea is that they have some individuality to them.

Way too much of a grind. Can barely beat CW on normal with 4 reds, let alone the top level CW for red chips. Then there’s the 200 hero chips.

No, this is a ridiculous amount of grind and work for a red skill. Couple with the rate of level cap increases, this has effectively destroyed the game for f2p players. I used to spend a decent amount, maybe 1k in the span of 3 months or so. Ive been f2p since may. Due to everything i went from 11th on the server to 177th now. At this point with the red skills, im on the verge of quitting. Dragon Souls was a fun game. Portal Quest was decent. This game has been turned into a pile of money grabbing trash.
