@Edigital
Greetings Dev…Will you consider this…
##############
POWER UP DRAGON
##############1. Burn 1 dragon to upgrade attack by 1 on selected dragon.
2. Max attack for each size will be capped. (e.g S = 70, M = 50, L = 30, XL = 20)
3. This will reduce the population of dragons, esp3cially black and white and also to get ready for the upcoming CONTINUOUS breeding seasons.
Thank you for your question.
Yes, we will consider plans related to dragon burn. The main focus will be on improving the basic attributes and skills of the main dragon, as well as increasing the probability of skill mutations.

It’s a good idea but I hope for a more interesting and fun system.I saw this quote from an Axie developer regarding their upcoming parts upgrade feature:
“Axies will be released for Materials. And Materials will be used for many things, one of those things being part upgrades”
We already have an inventory and item/props system, it would make perfect sense to add a crafting system to complement what we already have. And crafting would require materials which can be obtained by burning dragons in different ways.
Example of some things that can be crafted:
- Potions for temporary stats boost or permanent stats boost. Temporary stats boost will act like current props system which only give benefits for fixed period of time or number of games. This will encourage continous burning of dragons. Permanent stats boost may lead to potions not being crafted anymore after some time, especially in the current environment where there is no player growth. Stats boost will be similar to what @Edigital mentioned, adding attack or speed etc
- Crafting of existing props, gives people a non random way to obtain useful props like trophy protection card. Of course powerful props will require a lot of materials.
- New props. It has been a while since the initial batch of props/items were introduced. Hoping to see a new update on this soon with new items!
- Skins. Currently skins are lucky crystal exclusive. I propose that we add crafting exclusive skins as well to encourage burning of dragons for materials. Having said that, when new skins for the rest of the dragons? We have been stuck with the existing skins for some time already.
- Emotes. probably low demand but some people might like it
- Anything new that will make the game interesting! Passive buffs, active skills etc etc
Thank you for your sharing.
1.We are developing backpack, item/material systems, and auction features specifically to create conditions for future new item creation and to enhance the dragon NFT plan. Perhaps the community did not understand why we spent more time developing them at the time, but as time goes on, we will connect these systems and unlock their potential.
This is a key to Pandora’s box, once opened, it cannot be closed.
-Good impact: It will fully stimulate the economic system, encouraging players to burn tokens to collect/purchase materials to create more powerful new items. Burning idle dragon NFTs will enhance the strength of the main dragon NFT.
-Bad impact: It will have a significant impact on the existing battle balance system. Paying players will collect more material resources to enhance the strength of their dragons, resulting in more advantages in battles.
We have completed the development work of the first phase of the basic system, and the second phase we must keep in close communication with the community, share our plans, and provide more game design details before we implement the development work. The specific time will be within this year, and we are looking forward to its arrival.
2.New items, skins, emojis, and dragons will be updated gradually after the release of the DragonMaster on Meter mainnet. The good news is that the DragonMaster on Meter mainnet may be updated and launched tonight, and eligible Polygon players will receive a dragon box airdrop. Please pay close attention to our recent community announcements.
@Brylle
Replay wen?
Thank you for your question.
It is still waiting to be developed. I really like the replay feature because it allows me to analyze better battle strategies and share them to my social media accounts. I will help urge its development and hope it can be implemented faster.

Start having some dragon buff/nerfs to make something new. A good game should have updates that have nerfs/buffs so every season will have something exciting and more to look forward to. Dragon Master still on a linear gameplay with same meta in 5 seasons i think since the lucky update.Still no update on this? Make this every season even a tweak of stats like i said is good. Make the leaderboard and tournaments exciting by doing so and not having players play same team. 2 tournaments with a few seasons gap, but both champions used the same exact team lol no change at all.
Thank you for your question.
Yes, this question has already been answered in the previous AMA. We will improve this feature in the next season! Each season, we will randomly buff and nerf some dragons, not just limited to the skill buffs of family dragons.
When new skins? It’s been months since the first skins was launched
New skins are ready, and we will update the backlog with new features for the game after the release of Meter’s main network
hi! how to participate in tournament?
You can contact @Daniel | Magic Hat @ Wilson
Hi, it does sound like you already have bigger plans for your inventory system. However little has been shared in general from your team of the long term plans for the game. First of all we need an update of the whitepaper.
At the moment it is unclear what are the plans for the game beyond a 2 week timeline which is mentioned weekly in your weekly updates. But I think investors and players will appreciate a longer term outlook and plan for the rest of the year at least.
Hope you can share more with us soon!!
And we want more leaks on a regular basis!!
Yes, we do need a new white paper on DM’s recent goals and plans. I think this is where the development team is not doing enough
We’ll update the white paper as soon as possible in May and welcome community oversight
Hi, you mention about paying players getting more advantage. But that is already the case with the trophy protection card. In the current system, more protection cards = higher rank. I’m sure you have the data to verify this.
Yes. It still has very little impact compared to making more powerful props and the Dragon NFT upgrade system, the actual essence is the same.
what is your opinion on players using trophy protection cards and win trading to secure top spots in the season leaderboard?
The Trophy Protection Card is a prop obtained by spending more tokens, and it has an advantage over players who do not have this prop.
Victory trading is an officially forbidden practice, but it is ubiquitous and we will be upgrading technical security detection to reduce this.
Please create a Chinese chat channel on Discord today.
I remember that in the early days there was, later because of Chinese policy canceled. I will consult with my colleagues in charge of operations later
in game progression system, for player retention because currently if i am a new player there’s nothing besides a tutorial and nothing else i can do besides climbing leaderboard
It is the new player growth system. in May, we publish some preview images of it
I hope you recognise the seriousness of the issue because win trading in normal games is already a big issue. Win trading with protection cards when the losing side don’t lose trophy is a much bigger issue.
I believe that any game has the problem of victory trading, and if removing the protection card can completely solve this problem, we have no hesitation in doing so
Chinese is not limited to PRC. ROC/Taiwan has a different policy on crypto and don’t forget Hong Kong/Macau. There is also a huge Chinese community in Singapore/Malaysia. Hong Kong in particular is promoting cryptocurrencies.
If anything, the USA is the anti crypto country right now 😂
I agree with you, I look forward to a diverse community! 🔥
What upcoming updates this month? Or next month?
The main website of Meter may be updated tomorrow, or in a few days, please pay attention to the community announcement
May update growth flywheel system
