What about decentraland or sandbox collab? This is mentioned since early of the project, So please share us the detail and whether this had been drop off? Looking forwarc for this and please share us any quantified update about this. What i mean is date, what will happen and how will benefit us. Thanks @Aias | Burger Guild 🤡

Glad you mentioned this, the Decentraland collaboration is moving forward, and we’re in discussions with Decentraland team about it.

A little spoiler, possibly a limited event in Crypto Valley, or a permanent DragonMaster wonderland! Which we’re very excited about, so stay tuned!

What are your plans on strengthening our community? How will you going to get more engagements so that there will be more guilds will come? What is the future marketing plans? @ Gelo

In fact, I was just about to share our recent progress and plans for community and marketing.

The team and I have strong faith in the Web3 games, we agree the community is just as important as the tokenomics, and over the past week, you’ve seen our community grow like crazy. This is the kind of growth we’ve seen.

As stated in last week’s AMA, we laid out our marketing plan and we’re actually executing it.

During the week, we’ve united over 50 influencers from various regions to co-promote on Youtube, Twitter, Telegram, Discord, etc., connected with over 10 influential institutions and organizations respectively, and have already done joint campaign promotion with a select number of organizations.

We will continue to expand our partnerships and make DragonMaster a great community, here are some of our next plans.

1. Event sponsorship
2. Online tournaments
3. Influencer tournaments
4. More community events such as art, collection, etc.
5. More joint events with influencers and organizations

Of course, we strongly believe that as a member of the community you may also have suggestions about marketing and building, feel free to suggest to our MOD, thank you very much for your trust and support!

Are there any other way to submit suggestions beside the 📝丨suggestions channel? Sometimes it is very long and require some illustration and explanation. in these cases I would prefer to reach out directly to the team.
And i think AMA should be reserved for questions rather than suggestions, otherwise every AMA will get longer and longer as seen in recent weeks.
@BBQ | BUFF DEMON DRAGON PLEASE

We will support submitting in-game suggestions and feedback on the next update, we would reply to you directly after we receive it and show it in the game mailbox.

About AMA, we also favor your point of view and hope to solve more community issues. About the suggestions, we will collect and reply through the in-game reply, discord and canny, and we will grant some rewards for the good suggestions.

yes, for any suggestions now u can post on DragonMaster official CANNY! we will check there

Regarding Totem and DMT Obstacles, wouldn’t it make much more sense to just put it on Loot arena than the Main arena? @@Yuki |BUFF DEMON| ArtPhi

The looting arena is a player-to-player battle and does not consume energy, the system does not interfere too much, especially about the token part.

If team is serious about longevity then wouldn’t making it a properly balanced “competition” rather than a “certain composition” make sense? L XL lucky combo being a guaranteed combo to reach top ranks has resulted in many of my scholars to play less and less because hopes of reaching high in ranks are squashed. If this trend continues then maybe all that will be left is mostly L XL players playing as the game will develop a boringness around it. This has been an ongoing imbalance since beta, and still nothing meaningful/effectively has been done to curb the ongoing imbalance… does the team have anything in the works to tackle this problem? @ ProTruth

Yes, we work to make DragonMaster a balanced competitive game, not to create the ’strongest one’ or ‘certain composition’, which is not what we want.

We are in the process of releasing a new dragon that may have characteristics to counter the current lucky dragon.

In the meantime, we are discussing some options that will be open and discussed with the community once they are decided.

How can you handle the Damp of the token? @Aratsboi Gaming

The token price is affected by the crypto market, and is also related to the output and burn rate.

Regarding the crypto market, the fact is that we can’t control the whole market trends.

As for the output and burn rate, our R&D program is designed to solve this issue. You will see more burn plans coming next.

I don’t know if this is an existing problem, but it could definitely be a future problem: What plans do you have to deal with bots created by human players to play the game. While it is true that it could be difficult for most people to program a bot to climb to the top of the leaderboard, it is easy to program a bot that can win at the lower trophies level, and those accounts can still earn at least 100–200 totems a day. If someone does this to the scale of what happened in Axie Infinity, the TOTEM inflation will be crazy. I think because Dragon Master is not that popular yet so it is not a big concern now (and also token prices are still very low), but if Dragon Master becomes viral, this can become an issue. I would like to hear your thoughts and plans on this potential problem, because I don’t see any anti-bot measures in game right now.
Suggestion to make free 2 play more fun: On a weekly basis unlock a certain type of dragon for free 2 play players, so that they do not have to only play with boring white dragons. You can just follow how League of Legends implement this.
Speaking about white and black dragons, why were they being created in the first place? At this moment it just makes breeding worse. And also I remember there was a proposal passed to have white and black dragons not be part of the breeding outcome. Will that be happening soon?
Will there be a game update this week?
Can we have loot arena data this week? Number of games in each of the arenas will do.

As you said, DragonMaster has different strategies, and it changes in real time, unlike other ‘scripted/bots games’, which makes it much harder to write bots.Of course, when DragonMaster becomes more popular or goes viral, then we will solve it in the following ways.

First, we can solve this problem by optimizing the matching mechanism.
Second, we will improve the system’s ability to intelligently identify bots.
Third, the reporting function will be online to combine the information reported by players to assist in judgment and processing.

Yes, the Icebreaker Program passed https://snapshot.org/#/dragonmasterdao.eth/proposal/
0xd613e8e5fe32cb77eafc3a7736e885d4c10e1a364e95d5bb0ad76e9cac58bc75, which came through the White and Black Dragons do not become part of the breeding results. We are working on it and expect to update it next week.

Still in development this week, expect an update next week.

Every Monday, we publish the previous week’s data, including the token burning data from the looting arena.

Could we please address the major gameplay balancing issue? Bomb Dragon has drawback: Blows up your own dragons on track. Demon Dragon has drawback: Makes you want to use your demon dragon at end when you have already won a track so that you can get max buffs. Freeze Dragon has no drawback! Freeze dragon should not both stop your opponent from placing dragons and lower their pushing power down to 0. Clearly this dragon is OP and the best players can consistently win almost every game with it. @MagicMikeSoL

Each special dragon has its own skills.

The Freeze dragon acts as a hindrance to the enemy and does not produce annihilation or damage. The Demon Dragon does direct damage, and the maximum damage inflicted varies with the skill used by the player. The Bomb Dragon acts to blow up all dragons, including your own of course, which requires players to observe and use timing, and it can give you an advantage or disadvantage.

The principle of our skill dragon design is not to make it invincible, but better to give some new features to make the competition more interesting.

Hello fam! NFT jpeg projects are really trend today, are you planning to launch that? Also, are guys going to have partnerships with different NFT projects on the space?

We don’t have this plan yet, the focus is on DM development. But we support cooperation with them, for example, we are now supporting the NFT avatar function

Hi there this is not so much a question as it is a suggestion maybe it’s nice to add mirror match random dragon teams to loot arena as I understand it now it’s just random ppl playing with their own dragons for the prize. This way it will lvl the playing field and might make it more interesting to play

OK, we will seriously consider your suggestion

I posted a question in the midst of my suggestions on meta but it was skipped. So I would post here again:
What are your plans for meta balance? Both short term and long term

In the long term, we see the introduction of new dragons and new player skills to make the game strategy richer.

In the short term, we may make some adjustments to some of the dragons in order to bring them back to equilibrium levels.

There a chance to change the theme of battle arena?
Maybe we can have new themes per season, like winter, christmas or anything

Good idea, I will give feedback to the art team

What about we can buy different trial themes(limited duration) in the battle arena?

Support👍

We are considering a game wallet plan, not yet finalized, with two options

1. Custodian wallet, similar to the mechanism of centralized exchange such as Binance, no need to keep the phrase words or private key, you can login through email and verification code.

2. Local wallet, create local blockchain wallet, DragonMaster will not record your phrase words or private key, you need to keep it personally, once lost, it will not be recovered.

Everyone can talk about your ideas and suggestions, and with the wallet function, the players will be able to do a lot of things, such as buying NFT without having to go to the official website to buy.

Second,Here are the new dragons we are working on, they are already in the modeling stage, waiting for the movement and effects to be completed so they can be opened to the community for testing.

You guys can guess their names and skills, hahaha.
