DragonMaster Community AMA Recap (May 13, 2022)
Dear DragonMasters,
Last week, we held our first community AMA on the official Discord #đ丨ama-channel where our Magic Hat team answered questions from the community! Thank you all for your participation and support! The details of this AMA are as follows:
DragonMaster Core Members:
- Ethan Brown
- ChuckRRR
- Daniel | Magic Hat
1. In the near future development of dragon master.. do they have plans on making a dragon renting on market place?? From @Mike1028
Sure there is, you can check our development schedule at
2. Do you intend to add another burning mechanism to the TOTEM? The two burning mechanisms are not enough. The restoration of durability is the only one consistent. Breeding is still expensive. @Lars
Yeah! We are planning to add TOTEM and DMT burning mechanisms.
We would like to share our plans with the community as follows.
The first will be TOTEM /DMT arena!
There will be TOTEM and DMT arenas opening soon! Players need to pay first to compete, the winner will get the TOTEM and mDMT from the loser, and DragonMaster will collect part of the fee from it for burning.
The second will be the Practice Room
The game will open the practice room for all players, you need to use the entrance ticket to enter the practice room, which costs TOTEM to purchase. Players do not need to consume energy in the practice room, and victory will not be rewarded with TOTEM.
Third, there will be lots of new NFTs! Like material NFT, gem NFT, skin NFTâŚ
In the future, the breeding process will support the addition of a variety of material NFT, which can shorten the hatching time, and improve the probability of quality, the probability of body type and the probability of inheriting from parents. Gem NFT will be used to strengthen or synthesize mutations and other roles. Skin NFT will be used for limited dragons.
How to get these NFTs?
DragonMaster will open a âTreasure Challengeâ, which is a mini ladder list, players must guarantee consecutive victories to get to the top. Once you lose a game, this will start again at the beginning. Each time you start, you need to burn TOTEM, which is risky, but also comes with the rare value of the treasure!
After getting the treasure, which is a voucher of the game, you need to go to the official website to Claim and get the real tradable NFT blind box, which will randomly give kinds of NFT and properties.
3. Is there gonna be another season of looking for streamers? My Viewers asked me wsedregarding this question. @Kei
And YES there will be, we will also be doing streamer events for countries with different languages. When we are ready, we will turn it on.
At the same time, we will select the best streamers from among those who are already our streamers for a long-term partnership.
In addition, what can be told in advance is, for the second season of the streamer events , we will have subscriber and viewer requirements for our collaborators, as well as more rewards, details of which will be announced in the next 2 weeks.đĽł
So, thatâs what Iâm sharing about streamer season 2.
4. is the team going to get doxxed? @Bayle
Due to some changes in team members in recent months, we have postponed it for now.
And if you do some research, you will find out there are many great projects also developed by anonymous teams and some of them are also doing a great job! We understand if we are temporarily not participating because the core team is not transparent. Our advice is that you can keep following and learning about the progress of our project updates, community cooperation and other details. Time will tell and distinguish between bad and quality projects, and we hope every player will participate in DragonMaster at any time.
In the future, we think it is sad for the industry if Web3 still has to rely on the core teamâs credibility to support the development of projects. The recent Luna /UST incidents confirm this fact, talk less, show me the CODE.
The Web3 revolution not only gives ownership of user data, but also gives all developers the opportunity to prove their existence to the world and to users with quality projects and strengths.
Rest assured that Magic Hat Studio will make the team information available to everyone at a time that will be appropriate.
5. The burning mechanism is too bad. Breeding is too expensive and not profitable, durability restoration is almost free. Do you have plans to add more burning mechanism? @NED
Actually, Breeding cost is still on promo right now, and this is a limited time benefit for our community players because itâs a really good deal. In the long run, breeding is still undervalued.
About the Durability restoration, itâs not almost free, on the contrary many players have given us feedbacks that it is kinda high.
Meanwhile itâs a core mechanism of TOTEM consumption, a cornerstone to ensure a healthy ecological development.
6. Yeah same question how will they fight the totem selling pressure do they have any ideas.@unfit
Relax, the selling pressure of TOTEM still remains within our expectations. We are clear on what to do next.
First, our priority now is to proceed the burning mechanism of TOTEM, which is necessary.
About the TOTEM burning mechanism, please check the answers above.
Second, about the Market makers, we are currently experiencing two small issues.
We know that right now the liquidity of TOTEM and DMT is low, resulting in many big investors not getting in.
Please rest assured that we already have plans to add TOTEM and DMT liquidity, will announce the time and plan ASAP.
And we have talked with several market makers these days, they all suggested that we do it on CEX.
But we do not want to debut on some tier 4 or 5 exchange, we want to keep BUILD with the game.
Then weâll have more bargain to talk with major CEXs, which is the best for the game, players, and investors.
Meanwhile we are fixing the issue of DEX market making, the latest news will be shared with you soon.
7. Whats your plans on token prices and ingame? @Bayle
About token prices, please see the answer in question #6.
For questions about the plan, you may wanna check our answer in question #2.
8. How you would add liquidity to the totem? Will you be buying right from market and add liquidity or the team has a storage of totem and will provide liquidity from there?
This was in the canny but i would like to ask will the team able to help to give one or two more option through out the day to reset energy? As the if we want to have player from europian country or so they need to wake at 3am or 4 am to play the game. Can you help to consider to have a few option for reset time for energy? @Aias
There are two ways we are considering right now.
1. Buy back from the market and use it to add liquidity. This is actually not much because there are not many TOTEMs in circulation within the market.
2. Community voting, we can solicit the communityâs opinion and mint a batch of TOTEM to add liquidity directly. Of course, this will be open and transparently traceable, and this part of the TOTEM will not be used elsewhere.
About the energy reset
We sincerely apologize to players who woke up at 3am or 4am to play. We do have plans with this during the test, allowing each player to customize the energy reset time.
But we found that the energy reset time is so closely linked to the cooldown time, if the energy reset time is not consistent for each player, the cooldown time will be useless and there will be a game cheating loophole, which will eventually lead to a big problem.
Security and risk are our primary concerns, so we have suspended the plan. Hope you could understand. Meanwhile, we will continue to work on other feasible options, thank you for your questions.
9. can you add a daily summary in the records for each scholar? summary of battles fought (pk), win rate, total wins⌠daily metrics is bette than overall (but since this is already there, dont take it out) @lleCell/4cell4
Very good advice.
The rental data dashboard will be improved ASAP, providing more comprehensive data analysis. đ
10. do you guys have a plan to remove all this scholar streamer thing? because they arenât useful at all, imagine their 2 viewers comes from discord which is useless, they are just basically a selling pressure to the token, look at their number 300â400 scholar streamer can farm by 50% sp is 238totem daily multiply by number of streamer that is 83,800 totem daily then weekly 583,100totem that can punish the price, we all knew low price = low interest of new players, this streamers doesnât event reinvest at all, let the managers do the scholarship not by the management. @pags
In fact, if you follow the â¨ä¸¨looking-for-streamers channel on a daily basis you wouldnât say that, we only have 130 live streamers, 37% of them have 50% sp and 40% have less than 30% sp.
We are still optimizing this distribution table so that the streamers with decent results keep their sp and the ones that donât live reduce their sp.
The current market If you have survey data, there should be less than 10 ETH of TOTEM sold, which I think is a very small amount. Also as I said earlier, we will be inviting Youtubers or Twitcher with a certain number of subscribers for the second season.
11. our breeding system is not effective,you might consider random the type of dragons from the same size bred dragon but the sizes of the baby should be the same as the parent dragon. 50â50% chance inheriting parents size when bred with different size. @pags
ex breeding
parent. egg
small and small= random type small dragon also
parent. egg
small and medium = random type dragon of small or medium.
also burning of 20 dragons for one random special dragon or your choice.
also add something you can buy with totem like dragon skins, altar skins, chicken items or what ever can be useful with this totem.
You have a fair point about breeding.
We have received a lot of advice and feedback on breeding, and they are pretty like the same ones below.
1. Uncertainty about the breeding sizes
2. Uncertainty about breeding species
3. Single breeding function, no expandability
We would like to share the concept and initial intention of designing the V1 version of breeding.
Risk is our primary consideration, when we designed it, the most important point is not to let anyone have a chance to monopolize the market of a certain kind or a certain size of dragon, otherwise attackers will use the breeding system to blackmail the community, and more seriously, the whole game ecology will collapse. The market will be in the hands of malicious investors.
Therefore, breeding randomness is inevitable, which will allow the game to have better balance and stability. Secondly, we consider the breeding inheritance function, from the userâs point of view, no one wants to have too much randomness and uncertainty, which is insecure for the user.
So we added a function in V1 that child dragons will double inherit the genetic function of their parentsâ species and size. As a result, people still seem to be dissatisfied with this double inheritance probability, and we listened humbly to the problems people encountered.
We believe that a good product is not designed and successful at the first time. It needs to be explored and improved together with the community, and gradually updated together.
This May, we will hold a special AMA on Breeding to talk about all the details, and propose our solutions with everyone.
12. Other Special Dragon Wen and their abilities reveal đ @Yukiartphi
There are 3 special dragons in V1, Freeze Dragon, Bomb Dragon, and Demon Dragon, but we found that there is not Bomb Dragon right now, and we hope it will be bred out or opened from the single blind box soon.
New special dragons, we have actually designed internally but not yet the right time to disclose to the community.
For example, the Legendary Dragon we talked about in our white paper, it can enjoy X% of the market fee (WETH) every day, only if you own it, I believe you will open your wallet to check the balance every day, HAH.
All special dragons could be generated from breeding, there is another way for Legendary Dragon to be generated, by collecting and destroying the five-star dragon series to summon the Legendary Dragon. And there is a cap on the number of legendary dragons.
There are some drawing artwork you might wanna see.
13. some rent to the dragon master @Renz.
About the rent, currently the rent is not transparent in the market. Guilds took most of the costs, such as restoring durability, which may not be known to players.
We hope to improve this as soon as possible. Our solution will be to launch a personal public rental market soon, so that everyone can publish rental contracts on the rental market, all rents could be transparent, and renters can find more competitive players.
Finally, we hope the rents will be self-adjusting through the market mechanism, back to a range that is acceptable to both players and renters. We even heard some playersâ feedback, âI just want to play the game, not the rentâ. Haha𤣠, this proves that our gameplay and quality are recognized and we will continue to work hard to provide more interesting games to everyone.
14. plan of listing on other big cex?, like kucoin, gate io, binance etc. @pags
Yes. We are targeting major CEXs like Binance, FTX,,, And we need some time to BUILD our game and community at the moment. Because we donât have much leverage right now, letâs work together to make DM stand out from the crowd, HAHA.
15. Can you add a feature which is something like âFriend Listâ and we can practice battle with friend, like friendly PVP? @ReZ
Of course, this is within our R&D schedule.
16. There were some players asking us before, how to get more gamers to play DM?
In fact, we are planning to improve the registration and login function.
Right now the threshold for users to come into the game is too high, requiring the use of a crypto wallet, then binding an email address, and finally purchasing NFT.
We will break this process completely, players search on Google Play or App Store, download DragonMaster, and register by email to play.
How to play without a dragon? We will make the API and functions of the personal rental market on the official website, and players can play the game without needing to operate on the website.
The significance of this plan is that ordinary players do not need to know blockchain knowledge, and low threshold can participate in DM. For investors, there will be no need to worry about the purchase of NFT without players usage.
Finally, there may be an oversupply, many players participate in DM, there are not enough dragons on the rental market to feed investors for mass reproduction, TOTEM and DMT enter the deflationary stage.
17. Are there any plans we can use the totem to buy dragons in the marketplace and of course it must also correspond with the price in the market and how much totem will it cost
There are two disadvantages for TOTEM to buy NFT.
- DM is still in the very early stage, the number of TOTEM releases is actually very low. When the product encounters an upswing and players breed more dragons, the possible result is that TOTEM supply and demand will be out of balance.
- If the price of TOTEM fluctuates too much, it is not a good thing for NFT, we would like to pay with major coins as much as possible.
Finally, in fact TOTEM payment and WETH payment are essentially the same. If potential stability is sacrificed to save one to token conversion, then weâd rather not open it first.
18. Do you have plans adjusting rewards token for people with higher mmr? For instance, people with lower mmr will receive smaller rewards. Since most of the people change metamask to play with bots. I think that is bad for the ecosystem.
MMR ranking will gradually open up to more users, and as the number of users increases, we will increase the proportion appropriately, so take action and introduce DragonMaster to your friends around you!
19. Do you have plans for fusing dragons and in exchange for additional stats to have burning mechanism for lower rarity dragons?
Yes, mutation breeding will have burning NFTs, which we can discuss in the next breeding topic AMA.
20. Are you guys planning to have TOS for the game? đ
Yeah! Weâre considering it, and youâre welcome to share any good suggestions you have with us!
21. do you plan to add a lock on totem withdrawals/faster withdrawal approval
Good question, actually we are considering pulling out of a poll and let the community players to vote and decide, stay tuned!
