@mikuuuu
Why rush s6? Any reason? You still believe this? What do you value more, your players or your DAU data? LMAO, 5 days off season. That’s cute. Its not meant “I don’t want to play yet”, I’m still gonna play no matter what day they start. But you know, longer off-season could’ve been great given the current lucky rework and all the other updates that still needs to roll in.
We need to apologize to the community for not communicating with them and opening S6 early.
We actually have a lot of new things in store for S6, which will be released soon. We hope players don’t just play the game for money, but more for fun.
Season leaderboards are just one of our segments, and we should look at the long term, with more gameplay coming online in the future.
@BBQ | BUFF DEMON DRAGON PLEASE
you pointed a gun to the devs head to tell them to rush to start s6?
DMT ConcernsThis is follow up to the last AMA.
I asked about marketing expenses and team referred me to the weekly data under operating expenses (which I assume includes other aspects as well like various operational costs). That operating expense is paid with DMT.
The biggest criticism I have is this. Is the team planning to pay for expenses using only DMT tokens? The team can easily just mint those tokens and not pay a single cent. Literally printing money to pay their bills. As a result look at how useless DMT has become. It will dump to 0 in no time.
All this while the team is not paying from their pockets for operational expenses but instead minting DMT to pay for them??? And the ones suffering are the investors who bought DMT during the seed rounds, as well as the players and guilds. Is the team seriously not paying cash for operational expenses?? Please clarify and elaborate.
Of course the marketing costs includes cash payments, we chose to make the DMT part public because it is directly related to the community and investors, you can learn in the whitepaper that a part of DMT is used to pay for marketing and operational costs, each week’s operational and marketing DMT expenses are in the weekly report.
Also to correct your point, DMT is not ‘easy to mint these tokens without paying a dime’, DMT is the economic backbone of the game as well as the community, there is a limit to the amount of DMT and it has been made public how much DMT will be used for operations and promotion.
@BBQ | BUFF DEMON DRAGON PLEASE
Also, @Ethan Brown I strongly disagree with point number 4 of your response. DMT is like a stock? I hope you understand what a stock is. Someone who owns shares of a stock actually own part of that company. And some companies repay investors with dividends if they have a profit. DMT is absolutely nothing like that. First of all, DMT is not even backed by anything. In Axie at least AXS holders are/will be rewarded by their community treasury. In Dragon Master there is no treasury at all. Where do the marketplace revenue even go to? Anyway, one look at the DMT page in the dragon master whitepaper, you can easily see that DMT is a earn but no burn token. It is used to reward, reward and reward. It is meant to be dumped. It is meant to be converted to USD the very moment you get it. This kind of token simply cannot last. You may as well scrap DMT and be rewarding TOTEM if DMT is no different from TOTEM.I cannot imagine u guys giving out so much DMT for operating expenses. Do you even pay USD for operating expenses? Cash that is actually out of your own pocket? You guys keep releasing DMT tokens at record pace. Do you guys even know what the DMT price is now? Do you guys even know how much DMT price drops just from leaderboard rewards alone?? Do you think people still want to fight for LB rewards when DMT go below 1 cent??
- This is the treasury of Dragon Master, from the market trading NFT fees, it has always been here.
https://polygonscan.com/address/0x481f55ae3a506C8FEDE72FdaB510E34E34b738A7 - DMT is not without burning scenarios, currently breeding is one of the core burning scenarios, the new burning scenarios will be launched soon.
- To conclude, all the question are because the price of DMT is now in a kind of low position. Some say the release of DMT needs to be lowered to save its price, is this really the right approach and the solution to the problem? We understand your concerns and would like to communicate together with a fair mind.
What benefits will players receive regarding holding DMT? We are happy to share with you.
Right now, the market does not generate much revenue from NFT fees, and giving airdrops to DMT-holding players does not solve this problem.
DragonMaster will give more and better airdrops to the community players holding DMT in the future, such as the breeding V2 planned to be released next week, which contains sapphires, rubies, topazes and other NFTs, for specific details please pay attention to the community announcement.
@ guildmaster
1. wen energy system changes? you stated last ama that you will strongly consider this, most players and managers as well are strongly requesting this.
2. wen replay feature?
3. wen invite contest results announcement? It ended 3 days ago already. Will there be another one for this season to increase popularity and players of the game
- Yes, our team is seriously discussing this change, it will affect the season ranking in addition to the economic output, and we must give sufficient consideration to minimize the scope of impact.
- The replay feature is in the development sequence and I’m looking forward to it.
- Now the invite contest has ended, because some players have violated the rules, we need to remove them from the list, this will take some time, we will announce the final result today.
The S6 season will also have a similar campaign to boost the popularity of the game and players, we will announce it soon.
@BBQ | BUFF DEMON DRAGON PLEASE
Not saying that the plan is bad, but wasn’t it communicated in last AMA that there will be a voting for the proposed compensation plan?
Yes, we are ready to post the details of the program to the community.
The link to the snapshot poll will be released after this AMA.
@CoolmanYH
Please change the energy system, I believe a lot players are not full time gamer and play the whole day
Okey
our team is seriously discussing this change, it will affect the season ranking in addition to the economic output, we must give sufficient consideration to minimize the scope of impact.

Regarding the angel dragon skill,Can you please explain again what does it mean?
At its last moment of HP, the dragon will own A1-second invincibility and increase attack power by B1
No offence, but the grammar and choice of words in this sentence is poor. The video is also not very clear in showing what determines the amount of invulnerability the player will get.
Thanks for the question, I’m sorry for not explaining the skills of the Angel Dragon clearly.
The background of Angel Dragon is to save lives.
In game play, when you have very little blood left, i.e. the next time you are under attack and will lose, the invincibility effect of Angel Dragon will be activated, protecting your blood from any damage for a few seconds, while the attack power of Angel Dragon on the battlefield will be increased.
Proper use of the Angel Dragon will turn the battle into a victory.

Yes, we did not fully communicate with the community on opening season 6, for which we admit our mistake and apologize to the community.
Regarding the new Lucky Dragon and the new feature changes, the team is working hard to test the implementation, and we also expect to release it as soon as possible to open together with the new season, which is our mutual goal. In fact, it is taking a longer process to complete the implementation of all the new features we are working on.
1. Lucky Dragon redemption plan
First, players need to vote, if passed, still need to develop the redemption function, it takes several days to complete the redemption.
2. New dragon release
For marketing, a limited number of FOUR-EGG BOXes need to be released for pre-sale for players to purchase directly to get priority access to experience, which can only be generated from breeding after the event is over. Part of the revenue from the pre-sale is used to buy back TOTEM and DMT, and the whole process takes a while.
3. Breeding V2 release
The plan is to give the community free airdrops of sapphires, rubies, topazes and other NFTs, which requires a step-by-step plan and implementation, and the whole process needs some time.
We can’t wait for everything to be ready before we act, it would be detrimental to the community and the game.
DragonMaster is a game with competitive combat at its core, and the season leaderboard is an important motivator for players. It should be a standard and regular feature, unaffected by other, non-force majeure factors.
Therefore, we need to set standards so that each season starts on a regular basis, rather than the result of discussion and voting each time. Regarding the time between each season, 5 days? 7 days? We can discuss together and decide together, which will benefit the community.
Regarding the new features, we will deliver it as soon as possible, thank you for your understanding and support.
