This is really beyond words, it shows that there is a good effort being made. If it were another project, it probably wouldn't matter, or it would just follow the sell-off. The most regrettable thing is that I was busy with the entire S3 and barely went online, I can only look forward to S4.

Seraph is undoubtedly not a grassroots game development team without funding, without consortium support, and without Web3 operational experience, modifying a Web2 game product that has been eliminated by the market into a blockchain game and coming to Web3 to experiment.
Grassroots game development teams coming to Web3 to experiment have too many opportunistic behaviors. Many projects first seek a Web3 fund and consulting agency to package themselves, relying on hype to attract new players. Once the hype and traffic are achieved, they immediately launch NFT assets, selling them to early players for initial profit.
In case the market conditions change later, or project promotion encounters obstacles, and the expected results at TGE are low, the team can simply abandon the project, retreat quietly, and leave investors and early players with nothing.
Alternatively, slightly better grassroots teams, after selling assets and realizing some funds, may manage the subsequent market and community operations well enough to run the blockchain game project until TGE and successfully negotiate transactions with a bunch of obscure exchanges, then continue to release good news to pump up the price, allowing the team to sell tokens at a high point for profit, crashing the price, leaving players and secondary market users who have expectations for the project to pick up the pieces. After a mess, the project team takes the funds from selling tokens at high points to start hiding in various islands in Southeast Asia, enjoying yachts and young models, and continues anonymously to launch the next blockchain game or other Web3 projects.
Only projects like Seraph, with a professional game development, publishing, and Web3 market community operation team, can make long-term project plans and will not abandon their work in extremely dangerous situations. Even in the case of the Seraph token being targeted on-chain on July 12, causing a sharp drop in price, the Seraph project team is still trying various methods and sources of funding to save the project from unfavorable conditions, striving for continued stable operation.
Seraph's S4 season will only get better! I’m very glad I didn’t make the wrong choice.
Using an auction method will likely deter many people, leaving only those wealthy players, and it will ultimately become a game that only a small circle can play. However, if it is in a blind box format, it would be different; drawing would depend on personal luck, and the gambling mentality is probably easier to manage than the auction price inflation.

The S3 season preheat for Seraph is ongoing. I went out for lunch, and when I came back, I saw that the group chat had thousands of messages. The PTR testing for the S3 season preheat is also fixing bugs, and there was an announcement last night about updating the content. Attached is the related explanation for the Mercenary Dungeon.
Dear users:
As an important gameplay feature newly launched by Seraph, the Mercenary Dungeon will become one of the important output channels for $SERAPH tokens starting from the S3 season. To help everyone better understand this system and achieve stable earnings in the new season, we provide the following explanations regarding the mechanics of the Mercenary Dungeon:
How to obtain mercenaries? Mercenaries will be produced through a limited auction event before the official start of the season. The number of mercenaries each season is limited, making them scarce.
What is the use of the auction revenue? The tokens earned from the auction will be injected into the Mercenary Dungeon prize pool for later reward distribution.
Will it affect the existing prize pool earnings? No, it will not. The Mercenary Dungeon has an independent prize pool that does not occupy the reward share of the original system.
How is the prize pool distributed? After completing mercenary dispatch tasks of different difficulties in the game, special items called 'Fire Feathers' can be obtained. Fire Feathers can be exchanged in real-time for $SERAPH tokens, with the exchange rate remaining fixed throughout the entire season, making the earnings clear and predictable.
What if the prize pool is over-exchanged? After the season ends, if there are remaining rewards in the prize pool, they will automatically transfer to the next season's prize pool. If the total amount of Fire Feathers exchanged exceeds the prize pool limit, the project team will make up for the excess.
Will it affect the original gameplay system? No, it will not. The Mercenary Dungeon is an independent gameplay feature that only uses the original system's crystals as a trading medium in the mercenary equipment trading link.
The above is an explanation of the current community's most concerned issues. For any other updates, please pay attention to subsequent official announcements.
I am not a professional, just a personal opinion. To attract new users, produce free outputs. If outputs are generated, there will naturally be a desire to trade, and the minting fees will come. If we can balance the natural consumption (burning) while producing for free, then market fluctuations won't be too large. There will be supply and demand because they can make a little money. In this situation, human nature becomes very lovable; people will convince themselves that if they invest a little, their returns will increase significantly. A small amount of money doesn't need to be much; if you allow them to earn 3 or 5 U, that's enough because it's real. They will continuously convince themselves that they can earn more, after all, human nature is greedy.

I really like this kind of gaming community where players genuinely participate in game testing and modifications. With so many different players offering suggestions for changes, deciding which ones to adopt and how to prioritize them is what tests the project team's capabilities.
To be honest, Seraph's various PTR tests since S1 have had too high of a threshold, keeping those who have worked hard to collaborate on AMAs online, organize exhibitions, hold player meetups, and send out press releases to attract new players completely out.
If new players have to make a significant investment just to start playing, they become 'onlookers' waiting to see. If they observe for a while and see that other players entering the game aren't making any gains, they will completely lose interest and never get the chance to experience what makes a game fun.
I want to open a discussion for players who are playing the game together to share their thoughts, but I'm afraid some players will use foul language and spoil my social space, so I end up having to block them. Although, players who use foul language can still be good players as long as they stay in the game.
A bit looking forward to S3, for me who has no spending, the rewards given are really good, after saving for so long finally have an NFT, finally can truly play the game.

The S2 season of Seraph has concluded. This season, I only played the new class Druid and reached level 72. I completed the 7-piece NFT set and received the following rewards:
Output: 1. 2 Level 30 Fate Cards (seems worthless; need to collect 5 of the same type of Fate Cards to exchange for fate points to buy NFTs) 2. 1 Chaos Source Crystal with 500 energy 3. 28,000 Soul Crystals
Input: 1. High-level upgrade items, 2880 Chaos Stones, about 42 USD 2. 7-piece NFT set fully energized, consuming a total of 6920 energy 3. Used about 500 feathers to wash equipment
For players who can do the math, please help me calculate whether I made a profit or a loss... I'm still too weak at the game; I can get killed by bosses in the T4 maps, wasting energy on 10 maps at a time. I didn't do the Berserk, didn't play much in the Secret Realm, and didn't play the Secret Prison cards either. My Druid ranking only reached the top 100, so if I lost, I have to admit it. I really didn't perform well; in the past season, I relied entirely on power leveling.
The S3 season announcement has been released. I noticed there are quite a few benefits for veteran players. In previous seasons of Seraph, the servers were shut down early before the scheduled date due to the economic system nearly collapsing. The recently concluded S2 season smoothly transitioned to the last day without an early shutdown, which is a significant improvement. I hope S3 can run smoothly.
Sister~ I visited your website, and your designs and concepts are very special. Although the designs related to games are relatively niche, I personally believe that as long as one IP becomes popular, you will definitely be very successful. Keep it up!

Six years ago today, I set up a booth in San Francisco to display the game jewelry peripherals designed by my company VectorGems.
Now my love for gems has died down. I spent millions of dollars in four years and finally accumulated a lot of raw stones and colored gems. Rare minerals will not be cut in half or ankles like altcoins, but it is difficult to cash out, and they are still on the books [leisure][leisure].
Starting a company a year before the outbreak of pneumonia was really a great disaster in life.
There will definitely be no newcomers wanting to invest, the threshold is too high, NFTs are too expensive from the start, but earning gold is still acceptable. However, the earnings from earning gold in the second season approach zero, how could newcomers possibly consider buying NFTs right away? If you don’t buy an NFT, you won’t be able to get crystal stones, and then the content you can play is only up to the 70s. After that, the content has nothing to do with you at all. So what will happen in the end? Of course, players will give up this game. Let me ask, how can a game that cannot retain players possibly make money?

Because I was once a full-time employee of the blockchain game Seraph, I rarely expressed personal opinions about the Seraph project after leaving. Instead, I shared data from my experience playing Seraph, highlighting both the gains and losses from gold farming, and presenting the real data for reference to players, allowing them to draw their own conclusions.
I mainly feel that since I was a colleague of the Seraph team and had a good relationship with them, my opinions may be biased due to the emotional factors tied to the projects I have worked on.
However, since the token TGE on January 6 and its listing on several exchanges, the situation for Seraph has indeed not been ideal. The token dropped from $0.8 to $0.15 on the first day, and game equipment NFTs also fell by 70-80%. Veteran players have been experiencing increasing losses as they continue to play, leading many to stop playing; due to the negative feedback and FUD from early veteran players, new players are also hesitant to join.
In fact, in past tests and seasons of Seraph, I had opened 4-5 accounts, each with 7-9 NFTs costing around 2 to 5 ETH. I played one account myself while hiring others to help me with gold farming on the other accounts.
However, I did not start the S2 season opened in March at all because I had personal issues at home and couldn't play, and the players I knew who used to help me have already stopped playing Seraph. Without profits from the revenue share, no one is willing to take orders.
The state of blockchain games and the overall market is not good, or the design of the game's economic system is lacking, which is certain. The departure of veteran players is also a real feeling I have as a Seraph player.
However, the determination of the Seraph team to continue pushing this blockchain game forward is truly moving! Their stubbornness is impressive! The belief that one must rise up after falling into a pit is quite heroic!
Today, I continue to play the role of a veteran player and big sister, collecting the opinions of real players in my blockchain game player verification group and several Seraph player guilds.
Is there hope for Seraph? How can it be saved? --- Please ignore the clickbait title; I wrote it purely to catch the attention of veteran Seraph players.
In my opinion, as long as we find the right direction, it is never too late. Instead of asking "Is there hope?", we should ask "Can it rise again?".
Welcome, veteran players of Seraph, to join the discussion.

@BinanceSquareTW They don't even give a reward for check-ins, points are limited, how stingy can you be? The Christmas event promotion encourages people to participate, but in the end? Not giving a sign on the seventh day is really frustrating!
$BNB Judging from the downward trend line, the previous one was a false breakthrough. There is still some distance before a breakthrough, but in a bull market, anything is possible. Do you think the bull has passed, but I only think it is a correction. $BTC are all rushing. 50%, these small ones can't stand up to the bull market if they don't reach 80%!
I am also waiting for the price position. I want to buy the box position. It has been like this recently. When it drops to about the same level, I will find a mine to pull it. I am not afraid at all if I can buy it at these positions. I am afraid that I just can’t buy it😆😆😆
$BNB You may think it’s rubbish not to pull it up, but from my point of view it’s very good, because I haven’t bought enough, and I don’t want him to pull it up that high. It may also be a belief, but as a Holder, he does give me a lot. The profit is a feeling that I won’t worry about when my position will be liquidated, so I will continue to buy!
