sadly missed this poll, but i'm kind of disapointed, cuz i wanted to see game devs in the top of the chart.
still we've game designers, means we can interview Paul Toderas, so here's my first question :
- How are you ?
- which games actually inspired you while building up the story of nadirim ?
- Nadirim has got a great background story, but the game doesn't really highlight this fact. why haven't you guys introduce some special effects that would urge players to read the books we collect from quests ? (i'm kind of talking about the way Skyrim did, means they added some cinematics and quest related stuff, that takes advantage of the story books spread arround their world, becuz i believe most players just click the finish quest button and do not take the time to read the books they get as a drop).
- any idea about the 2 other classes release ? instance system ?
- do you like tea or coffee and why ?
- the storyline leads to killing the Nadir, so we may wonder ... what's next ? will the game have different extensions or will it stick with the main version but keeps on adding features ?
- were you inspired by the game : prince of persia ? have u played it ?
- any idea about how the collision detection system was designed ?

this was my first question for now (which is actually a mixture of mmorpgs basic elements ) , again thx for taking the time to read and answer this first wave.

see you in heaven

For example, if I'm in a fight with a 50% def mob, while wearing 3 gears with 7%, 10%, and 5% ignore defense, does that mean that mob is now only working with 28% def now? (50 - 7 - 10 - 5). Or, do you have a different way of calculating?

And how about the other two? Hard to gauge without numbers attached to them.

Thanks in advance, and keep up the great work .

• Ignore defense: we sum all the "ignore defense" attribute on your gear, and reduce the enemy defense percentage by that percentage (not flat reduction).
  Example: you have 10% armor ignore on you, and the enemy has 30% defense by default. Every attack made by you on the target will face only 27% defense, as we ignore the 10% of the 30 which is 3. The higher the target's defense the more valuable this attribute gets.
• Enhanced damage: It is a similar attribute to any other stat modifier, but it does not say the exact value of the bonus, instead it is added directly to the weapon's minimal and maximal damage. What it means is the weapon with this attribute hits harder than other similar level counterparts without enhanced damage. The bonus varies between 5-10 usually depending on the quality and type of the weapon.
• Enhanced defense: This one is something like the above mentioned enhanced damage but works on armor pieces instead of weapons. Basically it provides around double defense points on an item compared to the same level items (rarity and slot matched).
