@Brylle
Before you do a breeding event can you guys fix the quality of angel first? We keep getting class ss or s quality of angel, I didn’t see a single class c, b, or class a angel in meter network. Please fix this first before doing a breeding event
Thank you for the feedback.
Yes, we have rechecked the issue with the Angel Dragon on the Meter network and have indeed identified a bug that resulted in the incorrect display of the quality.
We will fix this issue and ensure that the correct one will be displayed before tomorrow.
@bug or bold
SD dragon abuse.. Can you make a solution for those who are abusing the use of SD dragon?? Ex: when an account has reached a high rank, they transfer that sd dragon or the whole team to another account so that this extra account can raise the rank too.
Thank you for your question.
In fact, NFTs are personal assets belonging to players, and the development team cannot control nor will control them. This is the biggest difference between web2 and web3 games and is also the main attraction of web3 games.
If we were to prohibit NFT transfers, it would damage the NFT trading market. No one would be willing to purchase SD Dragons, and it would lead to a loss of trust from investors.

1.How do teams intend to genesis players？
2.How to make NFT value maximize?
3.What do you think of using bubbles to increase reproductive probability?
Thank you for your questions.
1.Recently, we have reached a partnership agreement with the Japanese team Oasys, and we will be deploying DM on the Oasys network. When the mainnet is released, we will be conducting an airdrop to community members who hold the Genesis Player NFTs.
2.Last week, we revealed our plans for NFT staking, aiming to enhance its financial value.
3.Apologies for the confusion. Could you please clarify what you mean by ‘bubble’? We will address it in the upcoming Q&A session. Thank you.

Why is some dragons that can only breed, can not trade (no Sale button)
According to the report from our testing team, the issue occurred because these dragons already had existing orders in the marketplace, and when they were transferred to another wallet address without canceling the orders, it resulted in conflicts when the new wallet address attempted to list them for sale. As a result, the “Sell” button was not displayed.
We will fix this issue before tomorrow.
@MIKEL | LWG
please enable replay on matches its really a big help if there’s a bug or error on the game and in future tournaments so players wont have a hard time uploading large files
We are working on developing the replay feature as soon as possible.
@Eph
Feature Request:
PLEASE make all dragons available on Practice Mode atleast once a week (without the need of buying/using practice mode ticket). This will help players to test different combinations of dragons and find their best teams for leaderboards. Thanks.I know this will lessen the use of practice mode ticket and trial cards but it’s only 1 day a week that players can try and enjoy different combination of dragons.
Sure, we will update the features and costs of the practice mode to make it more accessible to more players.
@BBQ Gaming
I will try to write more today, seems like the AMA team had it too easy the past few weeks when I didn’t ask many questions and their progress is becoming very slow again despite saying they are focusing on game development. So let’s start with a very important topic that we all have been discussing recently, which is the usefulness of Dragon Master NFTS:Usefulness/Utility of Dragon Master NFTs
Ever since game launch, there has ever only been 1 use for DM nfts, which is to play the existing dragon master game with only 1 game mode. This doesn’t seem like it is going to change anytime soon. What is worse is that the meta has been the same forever, which means there are many useless NFTs. This is obviously very bad for the DM economy and marketplace, which is obvious by now. Questions have been asked and the team gave very simplistic answers with no elaboration. The player growth system has been spoken about for so long but there is nothing concrete yet. In fact in recent weeks the team has been all talk but no visible action. Active players are also falling. Can the team finally give a detailed answer on how they feel about this and what is the complete plan to revitalise this game? Time is also not on our side, the marketplace earns the developers almost nothing and I can’t thing of any other revenue source that exists now. Eventually the team will go bankrupt and close the game if nothing changes. Nothing has changed for 1 year, how can we be convinced that year 2 and 3 won’t be the same? Is the team just hoping for the bull market to come? All pray but no action? Prayer is not a substitute for hard work.
==========================================================================
Having said that, I have an idea. One thing that the team seems to be doing are partnerships. So I propose this. I think you would know that one of the advantage of using NFTs is the interoperability. Meaning that the same NFT can be used in multiple games. One of the best thing about DM NFTs is the design and art. It is really well done but it is such a shame that the NFTs are so useless.The team should partner with more game developers (including community developers) to develop more dragon master games in different genres, such as MOBAs, RPG, ARPG etc Similar to what Axie is doing.
The team should also invite community members to give ideas on new game ideas. For example I think a PVE adventure style game that hunts for props would be an amazing addition and complements the main game too. The team can then set aside some resources to make the game a reality.
Thank you for your questions.
It’s great to see your insightful question this week. You have always been an important member of our community!
Looking back at this time last year:
1.We were in Season 4, still troubled by issues with the old Lucky Dragon.
2.The Breeding System v1 was facing challenges, and the community was actively discussing the core issue of complete randomness without any breeding strategies.
3.The Trading Market v1 only supported purchasing one NFT at a time and did not support batch purchases.
4.The season scoring mechanism was unfair, where the more battles you fought, the higher your score, making it easier to achieve a top ranking.
5.Free players were not supported, and registration could only be done through the web, requiring downloading the app for login.
…
A year has passed, and as we reflect on our team’s work, we have accomplished several things. Here are some highlights:
1.Released Breeding System v2
2.Launched Trading Market v2
3.Introduced ELO Ranking System
4.Introduced Props System
5.Established Props Trading Market
6.Introduced Treasure Hunt feature
7.Introduced Universal Revenue System
8.Implemented Chat feature
9.Expanded to multiple blockchains: Meter Mainnet integration
10.Collaborated with C14 for DMT and TOTEM purchases using bank cards
11.Established partnerships with multiple gaming guilds
12.Organized various tournament events
…
The above can be seen as a brief annual report from our development team to the community.
We, more than anyone in the community, are eager for the growth of DM’s data. Despite our efforts, it is a fact that the active users and token value of DM have not increased. We accept the criticism and suggestions from the community.
We have been working on many things related to the game’s system architecture, especially features related to smart contracts. Each of these tasks requires a significant amount of development time, which has resulted in slower game updates. We sincerely apologize for this. We promise the community that after the release of the new version of the hosted wallet, we will accelerate the progress of game development.
=================================================
Now let’s address your questions:
1.Currently, NFTs are primarily used in game battles and don’t have many other utilities. We are aware of this and during the last AMA, we mentioned that we will develop the NFT staking feature to enhance its financial attributes and provide diverse value to NFTs.
2.The DM team will not go bankrupt and we will continue to persevere in our development efforts. Regarding funding, you don’t need to worry about us. We will find ways to resolve it without actively seeking support or fundraising from the community. If community members choose to support us, they can do so by purchasing and supporting the new dragons we release. Thank you all for your support.
3.This year, we have plans to release more new features and initiatives. Last week, we introduced DM UI v2.0, which provides valuable information and is also part of our updated Whitepaper v2.0. Soon, you will witness a completely new DM experience.
4.We are working hard and looking forward to the bull market, rather than sitting back and praying.
5.We appreciate the recognition of DM’s design and art. We are establishing more partnerships, including collaborations with the community and other game developers, to introduce additional gameplay with DM NFTs.
Finally, once again, thank you for your ideas and suggestions. Let’s work together to make DM even better.
As Shakespeare said, “Though this be madness, yet there is method in it.”
Can we improve the UI for TOTEM and DMT history in-game?
Like adding search history by month, day, and year.
And of course, when there are irregularities happening on that account, it will be easy to track and report them.
Okay
For a long time, I have been asking to being able to generate daily summaries in managing scholars in the guild pages, when can we possibly have this?
Next week, when the hosted wallet goes live, push for this feature 🫰
Also I think we need a community manager and analyst that is the bridge between developers and players. Right now the discussion in new-special-dragon-discussion has no replies from devs at all. What is the point if we discuss without devs?? Why are we wasting time?? If the devs are busy, at least assign someone to communicate with the players feedback daily. Something like a moderator but with more power and also directly communicating with the developers regularly!!
Okay, I’ll get back to the community leader, and I’ll also take the time to come out and talk to everyone. 😭
any update on the What is our dream dragon event? based on the winners lists any update on them comin g to reality is after bewitch dragon is released? and when will be the next tournament?
July will see the release of bewitch dragon, legend dragon will be released this year
Also, didn’t the weekly update 2 weeks ago say that bewitch dragon should be ready by now?
July will see the release of bewitch dragon, checking out the hosted wallet feature now.
