I have progressively been getting more and more fixated with Dungeon Master as the seasons go by. The game came out and I thought the world of it. I though they were going what R-Planet could never do and create a NFT staking game! Then it stagnated a bit and I got scared. Then the season pass was sort of leaked without any really mention of it and I got scared. Then Season 5 got delayed and well needless to say we are on Season 6 so far. However Dungeon Master has made me a decent amount of WAX so far so here we are.
Dungeon Master for me has been a love hate relationship or sorts. I loved what they did and how they initially executed the game. I also love how they kept making progress on the game and making updates. There are a few things that I am not a fan of but we will get into that later. From the initial game release they released updates which included 'Well of Wealth', Clans, Sidekicks, and various Wombatiums to name a few.
This game is truly free to play HOWEVER the more NFT's you have that can you stake means the more rewards you can get. So if you have invested into NFT's (that are compatible) then you will get better rewards. So while it is free to play it is very much not "free" to get any meaningful rewards.
I got into this game during Season 2 and I immediately dove head first into it and staked a bunch of NFT's. The first few seasons I earned a measly couple WAX as the season rewards (like 1 or 2 WAX). Then around Season 4 I got a lot better rewards but that is also because I started to stake more EOS NFT's as well as had 100 WAX NFT's staked. I also had better Mining Power NFT's to stake.
I am at a point where I have a mining power over 10,000 and have 180 NFT's staked.
For me it is just not about the rewards at the end of the season. Where I really make a buck is from selling the packs that I receive. I used to open my packs from previous seasons but I always had terrible luck so I stopped that and started to just sell them to turn a profit. Here is what I have received and sold so far this season:
Received:
11/7/22 = 1 Delta Silver Pack and 1 Delta Gold Pack
11/3/22 = 1 Delta Standard Pack
11/1/22 = 1 Delta Standard Pack
10/31/22 = 1 Delta Standard Pack
Sold:
11/8/22 = 1 Delta Silver Pack - 43.7 WAX
11/8/22 = 1 Delta Gold Pack - 187.99 WAX
11/4/22 = 1 Delta Silver Pack - 35 WAX (I combined my 3 Standard packs into a Silver pack)
Total = 266.69 WAX
As you can see I already made 266 WAX (minus selling fees) and I can promise you that 266 WAX is way less then I invested into this game already and this doesn't take into account previous season rewards. So even if Dungeon Master crumbles tomorrow and the game is no more I will still be grateful for the time I invested in it because I have turned a great profit so far.
The best single day pull I have gotten is this:
What I don't like about Dungeon Master:
1) It seems to me that without Sascha the game comes to a grinding halt. Like Season 5 anyone? I am all for job security but a single point of failure is never good.
2) There is no defined rules for the collections that can be staked and the mining power of NFT's. It appears on the outside looking in that the Wombat team can moon or nerf any collection as they see fit which is not a great situation if you are investing crypto/nft's into this game.
3) The constant release of new Wombat equip able gear means the ones you get from any previous season as getting nerfed. Look at the OG Pokemon cards and look at cards released now. It would be better if they only released new NFT's every 2 or 3 seasons so it gave players time to actually get the most out of their NFT's.
4) I wished the Wombat team created a whole separate Discord channel for Dungeon Master. If you have ever joined the Wombat Discord channel then you know that you will be bombarded with @everyone pings and it gets real old real quick.
