Red Skills Overview

Yeah I’m kinda…:smiling_imp: sometimes…the I act stupid but I’m sorry…it’s not your fault i acted like an idiot

@mewtwoswag & @CMG4SpookMaster I’ve noticed you both responded to @PawpsicleSticks & were very similar by any chance are you both the same person useing alternative accounts? No problem just asking. As most members have more than one account.

I’m just asking as it’s always nice to know when I’m responding to a friendly accounts alt. :slight_smile:

Thanks for your response in advance.

So far, I’m not a fan of these Red Skills.

Main issue is the mechanics of it; the main effect of these skills will fail at the highest levels because they will fail against enemies that are higher level than the skills themselves. Upon unlocking them, these skills start out at level 121–horribly underleveled which means the actual effect of these skills are unusable competitively. I WILL acknowledge that the accompanying stat boosts from unlocking these skills are in fact useful and make a noticeable difference.

Now the next issue is the requirement costs. Holy jeez, this is an absolute nightmare. For unlocking Red skills, you must have 200 hero chips, 125 skill chips AND 10 million gold. This is a huge problem for the balancing of these mechanics. First of all, 1-star heroes will struggle the most to unlock their Red skills because they don’t get many chips just for unlocking duplicates in crates so this hurts the balance of the roster as a whole (also most new heroes being released are 1 Star). Secondly, 10 million is way, way, WAY too high of a cost just for unlocking—especially considering that to level up these skills, you are spending an additional 200k+ gold per level. And then there’s the skill chips… honestly, it’s hard to enough to grind through City Watch with exactly the right hero in mind to get more of their skill chips specifically, but to have us pay more skill chips to level up these skills? That is ridiculous. And for those of you who don’t know, it goes like this: 125 skill chips to unlock, 10 more per level, +5 more for every increment of 5 levels. In other words, the higher the level, the more skill chips required to raise skill levels. Oh, and did I mention that it also costs extra hero chips to raise levels too? Because ta-dah it just got worse!

Guys… you cannot possibly think any of this is good. Realistically speaking, it may take dozens of weeks of grinding just to get ONE hero to fully max their Red skill. Oh, wait… raising level caps will happen sooner than that doesn’t it? Well, what now? The math just doesn’t support any of this. NONE OF IT. City Watch, Surge, and Invasion will NOT give enough gold to keep up with Red Skills; The availability to grind for Skill chips at City Watch is limited to ONCE A DAY. All of these factors just conclude that Red Skills ARE NOT SUSTAINABLE IN ANY WAY. They need to be redone completely. You guys have only made this available in Server 1 because you guys are just TESTING how this works, right? So I HOPE that the people you claim have degrees in mathematics that work in PB take a really, REALLY careful look at what you’re doing here, because there’s almost nothing good that can be said about Red Skills as they are.

So basically red skills as a F2P will be very hard to obtain and/or upgrade?

So much for chip surplus…

What I would to improve the skills is

  1. Make them orange skills to make it easier for F2P players to obtain
  2. Decrease red skill unlock costs
    • 200 chips to 50 chips
    • 125 red skill chips to 45 chips
    • Decrease key cost by 50%
    • Decrease level up costs by 45%

“Very Hard” is grossly generous, but sure.

Every single day I grow more worried about these Red Skills and yet still no response from Perblue. Hopefully we will get at least some kind of response tomorrow or Tuesday because I really believe Perblue needs to rethink these Red Skills completely.

…I still sort of support the red skills but I’m just a vip 11 so I probably am just a whale trying to defend it xD

Those red skills sound like a nightmare to get and unlock!
At this point I’m not for or against red skills, I’m just bored! And they haven’t even come to my server yet
