why team with special dragon can draw more xl and l dragon than team without special dragon?? team with sd have already an advantage with their unique skill, and yet they can draw more xl and l.

After verifying the team algorithm with our devs, we discovered that teams with special dragons had their probability calculated separately, rather than being reallocated from the base probability of L. This ultimately increased the probability of L (and reduced the probability of S/M/XL).

We appreciate your attention and feedback, and we will work to fix this algorithmic issue as soon as possible.

@˗ˏˋ烫 ˎˊ HDC
Develop a chat function in the game as soon as possible.
Develop the tipping function in the game to motivate outstanding players.
Make the function of adding friends more obvious. After the game is over, the shared page has a function of viewing opponent information, and there is also an entry for quickly adding friends.
All 33 trophies still have to be restored. Because of the added weight, when players of different levels are matched, the algorithm between them becomes complicated, and the more parameters, the more scientific.
Show online status of players on the leaderboard page, I like to play against top players, when I see them online, I also open the game.
Don’t you feel that the popularity of Youxi has dropped? I feel like less people are playing. Because it is too difficult to play. I suggest adding a random easter egg function, which triggers a part of the totem or props rewards in the form of easter eggs in the game. This randomness can add to the fun and get more people involved.
In addition to the long-term monthly competitions, some small competitions should be interspersed every week or half a month. Not all players can be online for a month.
The shake function is added, and the player can change the opponent’s third dragon with a certain probability by shaking the phone. Only you can see the dragon’s changes. This kind of change has good and bad, but also increases uncertainty and fun.
Add a charm buff, which can be triggered with a certain probability. After starting, the dragon will exert force in the opposite direction. Add serendipity and fun.
One final reduction. There are more than 5 types of dragons. A variety can be removed, or blended. my advice lol

1. Yes, we will add social features to the game as soon as possible.

Chat between friends
World channel chat
Tribe channel chat
Create voice rooms where streamers and influencers can share game strategies and support tipping functions
Support community developers to create PFP smart contracts, and the one with the most votes can join Dragon Master for free after community voting.

2. Agreed, we will add the feature to add friends on the battle end page.

3. Next season, we will adopt a scientific ELO ranking system to match and settle players of different levels fairly. This month, we will release the DragonMaster ELO ranking system whitepaper, with the parameters and details of the system.

4. I like the idea of “displaying the online status of ranking players”. Top players should accept challenges from all players to prove their strength.

5. The game’s Easter egg feature will also be developed, which is a source of fun for the game.

6. It is not a good idea for players to shake their phones during battles. We can add an obstacle: imprisonment. After obtaining it, the next 3 dragons placed by the enemy are forbidden to be XL dragons. Of course, imprisonment may be XL, it may be L, it may be S, or it may be random. This will change the enemy’s plan. If the enemy stores all XL dragons, this will be devastating, which means he cannot put out any dragons and directly declares defeat. In the past, storing XL dragons always had an advantage, but now with the imprisonment buff, players need to bear certain risks!

7. Wow, this is the skill of our Bewitch Dragon, it will be interesting! We will consider adding it in the future.

@annoying luck card
can we have a crafting system?? where we can get a seasonal cards?? a spell cards, clickable, each account can used up to 3 different cards, each cards has its own unique skill.. you can put the cards at the bottom of the screen, each cards can be used 1 time each game, cards will expired every new season.. ex: of spell cards; like it can throw a bomb or stun enemy like obstacle etc. managers can include it in their dragon in free rentals or in direct rent.. this spell cards are withdrawable and can be sell in the mp..

Yes. We have plans to develop this assistive system, and it will be interesting!

@anneron
Can we bring back bots in rank and just make them stronger for high trophies maybe add special dragons with them but stick with fixed 30 energies? I know top players and also mid players would understand, this ranking system is not working for this game because we have less players resulting to long queue time of matching opponents!. it made the energy system worse than before because many players are just playing in battle mode, and unlike the previous energy system, you can still grind your 10 energies even with 2 hrs remaining before reset, but this ranking system you cant grind those energy because finding match is around 2mins or more! It’s more time consuming than the original ranking system

We have received many player suggestions, and in the next season we will adopt the ELO ranking system, you can check it on https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elo_rating_system

It will solve

1.The issue of long waiting times for matches.
2.The issue of fixed trophy counts.

In the next season, we will no longer limit the number of daily ranked matches you can challenge, as long as you have energy, you can challenge ranked matches, and the final score and ranking will still be fair.

@peeniece
Why does your data says we have 4.6–4.8k players on PVP battles yet we only have 1435(or less) players above 10 trophies.
Its either the data is fake or this is the effect of the new trophy, energy, and matchmaking system.

Thanks for your question.

The data includes the number of players in both the battle mode and the ranking mode. It also includes players who have logged into the game, even if they have not engaged in battle, but only participated in Treasure Hunt and farming.

@DOXX MAGIC HAT PLEASE GOD DAMNIT
The emotional investment in the last couple of weeks in this game is taking a toll on me, I don’t even know what to say now 😂
But one thing I want to say is I wish the team takes marketing seriously because at the moment I can’t see any effort and resources put into it at all.
If I am wrong, then prove me wrong. Tell the community what are the marketing efforts you are working on now. And that does not mean ‘we are looking for people to talk to’. That means you are doing nothing. Please say exactly who are you speaking with and what you are hoping to achieve speaking with that person/organisation.
Right now you are only relying on giveaways to do marketing, but that won’t tell people how good the game is. It will be nice if there if you guys make cool video trailers or ads that can actually attract people’s attention. DMT/dragon nft prizes won’t attract anybody in a bear market and when your token price is so low.
You are already creating good art on your loading screens and game design, why not put these skills to good use in marketing?
I also wonder, why free public rental dragons cannot be used with special dragons/special dragon trial cards? Many players use free public rental but sadly cannot use special dragon, even though there is a cheaper way to use special dragon now with trial card.
I suggest:
- Free public rental should allow use of own special dragon or at least special dragon trial card
- scholar team with no special dragon should allow the scholar to use special dragon trial card in the same team
Scholar/manager share can still remain the same. Key thing is to give the renter a choice, because he/she may want to join a tournament or climb the leaderboard.

Thank you for your question.

About marketing, we have not done enough in terms of marketing art. In the future, we will make more teaser videos and promotional graphics. In addition, we will create a series of videos that showcase the features of the game, such as:

1.Introduction to the skills and battle strategies of each type of dragon

2.An overview of how to play the treasure hunt lottery

3.An explanation of the feature that allows you to send items via mail

4.An introduction to the ELO ranking system

…

In addition to written articles, we will make more exciting videos to attract the attention of more players.

Next week, we will fix the bug that allows free rental dragon teams to fight with special dragons.

@˗ˏˋ烫 ˎˊ HDC
There is no difference in two button consumption, a difference should be made. The one on the right instead consumes 225 totems. It is encouraged to consume more at one time and have greater discounts.

Thank you for the suggestion.

We will optimize this detail when Treasure Hunt is reset on Sunday (12/18).

“Next week, we will fix the bug that allows free rental dragon teams to fight with special dragons.”
@Ethan Brown sorry I don’t understand this sentence, can you clarify it? If I rent a team from share profit, and I use a freeze dragon trial card, will I be able to use them together after next week?

Yes, right now profit sharing teams cannot add special dragons, we will fix this rule next week

When the special task available and also the props send by mail?

Today the game will have a new version of the update, preview content.

Updated.
1. Christmas activities
-daily task
-Seven days sign-in
-Candy Mall
-New Christmas dragon
-Christmas emoji
-Christmas avatar
-Christmas avatar frame

2. Replace the expression function

3. mDMT/TOTEM transfer, season, treasure hunting ranking rewards will be sent by mail

4. Mailbox support to send props

5. The end of the battle page to increase the lucky card function

6. Modify nickname: free for the first time, the second modification needs to consume the name change card

7. Dragon trial card can no longer complete the daily tasks, only dragon NFT and leased dragon

can you buff the gems?? gems seems not that worthy.. but in exchange make it harder to fuse..

As the demand for breeding increases, the value of gems will also rise. In the future, we will add more burning scenarios for gems.

How about debuff on opponents track? Like speed reduction.

Skills that reduce speed should be used to develop new dragons. The goal of the demon dragon is to increase the damage of group attacks

should it at least get a damage increase ? its weaker when put vs 2 other special drags that’s also the reason why it’s price is low compare to the other 2

Yes, special dragons have their own characteristics. after the AMA is over, we initiate a proposal for a Buff adjustment for Demon Dragon that boosts the attack power of all friendly dragons on the field.

Titan Dragon leaks? 👀 also Skins preview in battle field? @Ethan Brown

Titan Dragon, size L. It has the skill of getting heavier as it spends more time on the field, eventually even exceeding the weight of an XL.

Demon dragon buffing all attackers on the field will be a good start, at least it enables multiple lane strategy, but I still feel it will be niche and remain weaker than Freeze/Bomb.
But niche team is better than no team

Proposal no. 1
Remove the rule of limiting 30 battles per day as long as the energy is available, player can fight rank
-meaning this will become the s6 style, unlimited game as long as an account has energy.. instead of the s6 style, can the devz change it to unlimited game in rank mode even if there is no energy available.
-playing with energy can win trophy and earn totem and consume durability
-playing without energy can win trophy but cannot gain totem but durability wont be consume for the sake of managers money
-and also with unlirank like axie, players in top rank will not become a fewer players who own 3 or more account in top rank because of the multi account.. if there is unlirank top rank player will be force to play a fewer account because he/she will need to grind

It’s great. But I have a concern about whether players without energy will give part-time jobs to players with energy, since they have nothing to lose by losing.

@Ethan Brown I think regarding ELO, perhaps it will be good to open a channel for discussion also because there are different ways to implement. Maybe after the whitepaper release. Or before if you still need feedback to help with the whitepaper

We have created a new discussion channel for ELO. 💬丨elo-discussion

Feel free to tell us your ideas and opinions here, your feedback is valuable to us and will help us improve the game!

Any plan to bring more Daily Active Player?
As you can see in the leaderboards today, even you have only have 30 trophy, you can enter the Top 1k LB.
More DMT Burning when? It keep dumping since you gave a DMT Salary to the moderators. Also DMT has no used (Only for Breeding)
More Utilities for Dragons. Give more reason why player need to hold and breed dragons.

1. We are developing a multi-chain initiative and are currently in conversation with Meter.io officials who will support our deployment to Meter and work together

2. For next month’s moderator salary, we will provide USDC, not DMT
