Have yous thought of implementing a dynamic price for breeding? I don’t breed at all because most of the time is cheaper to buy from the marketplace rather than breeding. With Dynamic pricing you can adjust the breeding price based on what the game needs to keep a healthy economy. For example:1- When you need people to breed: if the floor price of a dragon on the marketplace is $11, and the breeding price of one dragon is $15, then the breeding price should adjust itself to reflect a lower price then the fp on the market to encourage people to breed.
2- If for some reason the game needs control overpopularion: for this the breeding price can dramatically increase to discourage people from breeding
We understand what you’re thinking, but we can’t do that. There are not enough dragons in the market, the floor price of dragons can be easily controlled and it would be devastating if the system would define the breeding price based on weak rules..
In addition, the cost of breeding should be dynamically adjusted by the market mechanism, not controlled by the development team. When the game is on an ascending path and demand is greater than supply, then the price and breeding cost of dragons will increase. The opposite is down. Of course this also relates to the factors that affect the big trends of the crypto market.
Finally, the point of breeding is that when the market price of the dragon that players prefer is too high, or the attributes are too weak, then they will consider the option of breeding to get it, even though the cost of breeding is 10% higher than the market price, which is the free choice of the players.

Should we expect a breeding event when the V2 is release? Like more chances to get special dragon or lower breeding cost that can influence breeder to breed more during the event?
Yes, we will be planning a breeding event with more chances to get special dragons!
@Cr△kZ
is there any chance that the maximum breeding is 4 or 3?, because i would rather buy in MP than breed a 5/5.
If the number of breedings is changed to 4 or 3, then some players will also suggest changing it to 2.
The reason why we decided to change it to 5 is because it is the result of our experience from studying many breeding mechanisms.
If this number was too small, then it would not be able to meet the fast growth of DragonMaster, and if it was too big, it would not be possible to use a higher Breeding number.
@Edigital
Can simplify Breeding V2 info such that it is easier to understand?
<<< Matchmaking>>>
Can we not be matched against our fellow guild team mates?If cannot, is it illegal to allow fellow team mates to win?
The whitepaper has all the information detailed inside and is actually easy to understand if you read it carefully.
A brief summary
1. Support for accelerated hatching
2. Support to improve the probability of body size
3. Support to improve the probability of species
4. Support to improve the probability of quality
5. Support burning rebirth for dragons with 5 breeding counts
Other non-breeding questions will be answered in our next AMA, thank you.
@MJF22 | RDG
How to get gem in Breeding V2? It will only get in destroying dragons? Will the gem can also bought or sold in marketplace?
Actually it is all mentioned in the Breeding V2 whitepaper.
1. Gems will be generated from in-game events or on-chain staking events.
2. Gems have nothing to do with destroying dragons.
3. Gems are NFTs and support buying or selling in the NFT marketplace.
@RV
Can we have a breeding simulator/preview tool on the website to easier visualize the new breeding mechanics?
No problem.
At that time we will develop a breeding simulator for all players to experience.
@BBQ | BUFF DEMON DRAGON PLEASE
Can we only use maximum 1 of each type of gem for breeding?
Yes!
Inside the breeding V2 whitepaper, it is mentioned that during a breeding session
-A maximum of 2 Sapphires per body type
-Up to 3 Ruby NFTs per egg
-Up to 2 Topaze NFTs per egg
Of course, you can choose not to set any gems and breed naturally.
@jim
can you make a video explaining everything, i do not like to read.
We’ll be making picture and video tutorials to explain it all, thanks for your support.
@BBQ | BUFF DEMON DRAGON PLEASE
On first glance, the probability of inheriting the parent’s dragon type is still too low in my opinion, despite using 3 gems. From your diagram in your document there is 50% chance of getting another random type despite combined breed count of 3 and 3 gems. But overall I think this system is a huge improvement and also more interesting
Thank you for carefully reading the breeding V2 whitepaper.
Yes, from the diagram examples, it seems that the probability of inheriting a dragon type from the parents is not high. In the limit case, two parents of the same species and size, and the total number of parent breedings being a maximum of 8, plus the bonus of all gems, would be an interesting result.
Of course, the data in the diagram are examples, please refer to the actual publication. The principle of developing the numbers, as mentioned in the whitepaper, ‘We will increase the importance of strategy while ensuring the safety of randomness.’
Any timeliness for mutant breeding?
First plan: complete the update of V2
Second plan: consider mutant reproduction
About the new eggs with mixed classes, will the new dragon have both the abilities of its parents or its just purely cosmetic? Will the mixed dragons have 2 abilities but with lower skill power or will there be a chance to have 2 full powered skills on one dragon?
This is part of the mutant planning. v2 hybrid eggs are just a change in appearance to easily tell us which parents the egg was bred from.
This appearance design, of course, is also applicable to the planning of later mutants.
Hi, is there more info on the ranges of stats (especially attack damage) for each quality? And for this breeding v2, will the way the stats are determined still be the same as in v1?
Good question.
We will share with you next week about how quality is calculated so that you will understand it more clearly, and we think this is the blockchain game should be open.
I agree with you and take back my initial comment on the breeding being too random. Without gems it should be random and most people will probably breed this way and this will prevent people from making huge meta farms.
If someone wants to have a much higher chance of getting a good dragon, be ready to grind harder or pay more for multiple high quality gems to get the probability higher.
Anything is in question, Musk early also encountered a lot of questions and pressure, but can not prevent him from becoming the richest man in the world, ha ha
We will post the snapshot voting link after the AMA is over, welcome to vote on breeding V2
Breeding V2 was released. Then came the wallet and multi-chain program!
Gameplay wise, you will see more interesting modes.
We have a clear goal and have been delivering plans to prepare for the crypto ticker recovery!
This work will not be done overnight, and it will be our advantage and competitive threshold
