EOS Nation has decided to shut down dfuse as of September 25, 2024.

Dark Emblem used the dfuse service to listen to updates to the WAX
blockchain and provide a rich game UI around Dark Emblem contracts. With
the shut down of dfuse, we are now unable to provide updates on our
site based on the newest blocks.

This functionality includes:

- Generating new card images for opened packs.
- Providing indirect functionality through darkemblem.com

The following will continue to work:

- Trading cards through the Dark Emblem contract
- Participating in raid through the Dark Emblem contract

We are currently working on reimplementing the realtime functionality
that is no longer working by replacing dfuse with Pinax.
We do not have a timeline for this, but we are
investigating options to mitigate this in the future.

There are additionally some interesting developments for WAX,
including WAX deals with Epic and
[AWS](https://www.coindesk.com/business/2024/03/26/layer-1-blockchain-wax-signs-deal-with-amazon-web-services/)
that we are excited about.

Thanks,
The Dark Emblem Team

Hi everyone, we've been busy these last year rewriting all of the server and UI code from the ground up. While our WAX contract has been sound, the UI has been inconsistent at times, and we wanted to address those issues.

## UI sync issues

There's nothing worse than interacting with a smart contract and not getting immediate feedback on the UI. Worse, the UI shows outdated information that never updates. Well, that was what we were seeing when users were staking and unstaking cards from raids. The blockchain state was correct, but we weren't updating the UI consistently.

We've fixed these issues with a few approaches. One, we've let you select which WAX node you'd like to use for UI side requests:

![Pick a WAX Node](media/2023-04-02-new-site-released/wax-node.png)

We've also started using dfuse to keep up-to-date with the blockchain in real time.

## Sharing

You've opened a pack, and got an awesome card. Time to share! Before, if you shared a link to the Dapp on Twitter, Discord, or other social media site, the share embed would just say the generic “Dark Emblem” site title and description. You wouldn't even get an embed of the card picture. Lame.

We've deployed an entirely new UI that fixes this issue and sharing is now better than ever.

## Continuing to overhaul

We are continuing to improve the site with new features. We've already combined the Dapp, Marketing site, docs and blog into one site to make it easier to navigate and find what you are looking for.

We hope to continue to iterate now that we've got solid ground to work on and bring the next set of stories to the Dapp.

<li>Fixed an issue with $DREM where the admin account could not issue DREM.</li>
</ul>


Been a while since the last State of Play blog post, but that doesn't mean we haven't been hard at work behind the scenes! Last month, we wrapped up our Ascension contest and distributed the rewards. This month we are rolling out Dark Emblem Raids!

## Raids

Our main focus this month is Raids!

<ReactPlayer controls url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q-L4K2DjUlY" />

We've been working on tons of features to make this happen:

### Joining a Raid

Hop on the Dark Emblem Dapp and go to the Raids page. From there you can see
open Raids and stake cards to join the Raid.

The raid is considered complete when all of the player's cards attack is larger
than the monster's defense and the player's cards defense is larger than
the monster's attack.

When the Raid is complete, you will be able to claim your cards and get rewards.
The rewards are split up among all the participants of the raid.

### When do Raids drop

Right now, a new Raid will be created every Wednesday. We will post in Discord
when a new Raid is dropped.

## Story Mode

We've upgrade our Tutorials into a full Story Mode page. Hop on the Dapp to check it out.

The tutorials have been split up to make it easier for you to get started!

## Enhanced Sign In

You will be asked to sign a dummy transaction that isn't actually sent to the blockchain.

The makes it easier for us to prove your identity and sync your Dapp preferences with
our server, which will enable us to roll out personal Raids, Story Mode,
and more!

## Bug Fixes

-   Fixed an issue with $DREM where the admin account could not issue DREM.

![Introducing Raids](media/2022-07-05-raids/introducing-raids.png)

(Splash courtesy of [TextStudio](https://www.textstudio.co)).

Get ready to pit your cards against monsters in Raids! Summoners like you will need to work together to beat these monsters to earn rewards. We are trial running Raids in Dark Emblem, which is our next step in the P2E (Play to Earn) space.



## What are Raids

Raids are challenge monsters that have a set attack and defense. Summoners must work together, stake 1 Hero and 1 Equipment card each, and beat the monster in order to receive rewards.

When you join a raid, you will be asked to stake a Hero and an Equipment card. The goal is to have all the staked cards joint attack beat the Raid monster's defense, and to have the total defense of staked cards beat the monster's attack.

## Winning a Raid

When the win conditions of the raid have been met, the raid will be closed. No more Summoners can stake cards to the raid. Any Summoners who have cards staked will be able to re-claim their staked cards and receive their portion of the reward payout.

Example: If the Raid has a Monster with 6000 attack and 4000 defense and a DREM reward of 300, then the Raid is considered completed when all the staked cards have a defense greater than 6000 and attack of over 4000. Let's say this required 3 Summoners to beat the raid – then each Summoner will recieve 100 DREM when they claim their rewards.

## Losing a Raid

Careful though! Once staked to a Raid, cards cannot be unstaked until the raid is defeated and you have claimed your rewards.

In the early stages of Raids, we will give Raids and unlimited duration, however in the future, if a Raid is failed to be completed within its duration, then all cards staked to the raid will be locked and eventually burned since the Raid has failed.

## Trial Raids

To kick start the new raids system, we are going to start with 1 Raid per week. We will announce each raid in a new announcement channel.

Let's get Raiding, Summoners!

<div class="text-base text-gray-50">Hey Summoners! We just deployed a new version of the contract yesterday. The contract improvements were to help us simplify packs, roll out some new features, and re-level prices. In the future, rather than mint promo cards directly, we can mint packs for those promos instead. This will also show how many promo packs there are in circulation since each pack type will be tied to a template.</div>
<div class="text-base text-gray-50">For this change, we closed all existing pack templates and created 3 new ones:</div>
<ul class="ml-4 list-disc p-0">
<li>GEN0 Legendary packs - now cost 150 WAX. Max supply 100.</li>
<li>GEN0 Rare packs - now cost 120 WAX. Max supply 300.</li>
<li>GEN0 Common packs - now cost 80 WAX. Max supply infinite.</li>
<li>CELE Special packs - not purchasable. Max supply 100.</li>
</ul>
<div class="text-base text-gray-50">The cost to Ascend and Transmogrify has been increased to 2 $DREM – we will keep an eye on this and readjust the Ascend cost if needed. Remember, $DREM is our official token used for in-game rewards and actions. Check out <a href="https://darkemblem.com/game/drem">the DREM page on the dApp</a> to purchase $DREM with WAXP and see your balance.</div>
<div class="text-base text-gray-50">Ascending and Transmogrifying can now only be performed with cards from the same pack name. Example, you can Ascend two GEN0 cards, but you cannot ascend a CELE card with a GEN0 card. This means that you will want to collect at least 2 cards from the same pack name.</div>

Hey Summoners! We just deployed a new version of the contract yesterday. The contract improvements were to help us simplify packs, roll out some new features, and re-level prices. In the future, rather than mint promo cards directly, we can mint packs for those promos instead. This will also show how many promo packs there are in circulation since each pack type will be tied to a template.



For this change, we closed all existing pack templates and created 3 new ones:

- GEN0 Legendary packs - now cost 150 WAX. Max supply 100.
- GEN0 Rare packs - now cost 120 WAX. Max supply 300.
- GEN0 Common packs - now cost 80 WAX. Max supply infinite.
- CELE Special packs - not purchasable. Max supply 100.

The cost to Ascend and Transmogrify has been increased to 2 $DREM – we will keep an eye on this and readjust the Ascend cost if needed. Remember, $DREM is our official token used for in-game rewards and actions. Check out [the DREM page on the dApp](https://darkemblem.com/game/drem) to purchase $DREM with WAXP and see your balance.

Ascending and Transmogrifying can now only be performed with cards from the same pack name. Example, you can Ascend two GEN0 cards, but you cannot ascend a CELE card with a GEN0 card. This means that you will want to collect at least 2 cards from the same pack name.

To help our Summoners gain some $DREM, you can burn cards for DREM:

![Burn for DREM](media/2022-05-22-contract-updates/burn-for-drem.png)

Go to the card details page for any card you own and you will see the “BURN FOR DREM” button. Burning a card will grant you 1 $DREM. Careful though, this action is irreversible and we will NOT mint you a new card if you burn a rare card.

To help boost some sales, I have personally gone ahead and bought the floor from AtomicHub. I’m still working with the team to figure out the best way to vault these cards to help provide value to our community.

Last, but not least, we are rolling out some experimental features to help us with our story driven game elements. The first of these experiments is our new Tutorial feature – best experienced on desktop. Clicking the Tutorial button at the top of the page will guide you through Dark Emblem – from buying your first pack to Ascending your first Heros.

Thanks Summoners, we hope to have more updates shortly!

We have made some updates to how DREM works in the Dark Emblem dApp.

DREM is now a full token that should show up on WAX block explorers. The contract was updated with the change and existing users with DREM were migrated to the new token structure.

Everything else works the same way – you can still purchase DREM by sending the contract WAX, and you can Ascend and Transmogrify your cards using DREM.

Thanks everyone!
