Evolution Cancel doesn't work

[DE3me]

Ok, I'm done with this game. I'm sure people are aware of the most expensive Tem right now and as most people I wanted the middle evolution step for my team. When it got to that point I didn't think much by it pressed the cancel button and nothing happened.
Now I have a Tem I never wanted and weeks of money invested in something worth nothing, just because the cancel button didn't work.

There is no point for me to start rebuilding weeks of playtime at this point.
This is just a heads up for people that may run into the same problem, because for me this is it. Maybe see you again after the game comes out, but goodbye for now.

dude... you could have taken a second and explained what the problem was.

Cancles button not working?
What Keyboard or gamepad?

did you check if canceling was even possible atm? Also what Tem get's badder when it evolvs nothing changes not if even then the moveset but the rest is the same wtf?

My guess is that the server stuttering or the keyboard layout wasn't working.

if you where going with keyboard please take into consideration that the

Z button and Y button switch place on a europe layout... so if youw ant to press Z you actually need to press Y but that is something that everyone should know.

You need to press the button for a couple of seconds...

Why would its evolution be badder ? o-o

Great, not sure what to make of that. I don't really understand why that would be a thing, basically a quicktime event in a strategic round based creature collecting game, why?
(Don't take that as a flame, I'm really curious about what lead to such a decision.)
What about an item similar to the TV reducing item that devolves your Tem? That could at least help somewhat and would be in line with other items in the game.

@DE3me Because it's familiar. That's how you cancel evolution in Pokemon, so naturally, people expect to be able to do it in a similar game, like Temtem.

Could we at least get a message on the evolution screen that says "Hold Y to Cancel Evolution" or something?

It seems a bit strange to just wing it because "people should know how because they played Pokemon" in a game that is trying so hard to say that it's not just Pokemon again.

this

also to prevent an accidental press... just imagen a temtem evolves at 45 because you caught it with a high level and then you interrupt the evolution.... people would rage way often than the other way around..

also.. i really thought you pressed the button down and not just pressed it shortly. That one really is on you and not the game

also please tell us which TemTem you mean, which one is better unevolved than the evolved.

It literally does show you to hold the button down when you even press it,..lol...

It doesn't tell you how to cancel the evolution UNTIL you press it, though. You have to look it up outside of the game somewhere.

That's poor design.

uhhh...yeah it tells you when you press it to hold it...if you hav'nt taken the time to know what buttons to press to do things then i'm sorry but that's the player being dumb..lol...it's not poor design if someone is being dumb..sorry but that's the truth.

I mean durr...temtems evolve...don 't want them too? ask or look up the damn button or you got no one to blame but yourself.

Don't come in here and start posting (that's poor design) It does'nt make you look smart.

By that very logic that the game must show you how to do things then I guess every game that does'nt tell you to hit w to move forward has poor design as well.

Also for another point...OG pokemon games did'nt tell you to push the B button to cancel evolution either so..poor design I suppose :P

I think, it's about Raibers evolutions as they switch ATK and SPATK. Raize has 46ATK/69 SPATK while Raican has 77 ATK/51 SPATK. And its strongest attack is Fire Tornado which is a special attack.

The game doesn't have chat. Literally can not ask anyone in game yet.

It isn't listed anywhere in the game either.

Having to go outside of the game to find out the controls to the game is, by definition, poor design.

Pokemon was also poorly designed at the beginning, so using "Pokemon does it too" doesn't really hold water. At least they have the excuse of having been designed in an era where these types of messages were rare and memory was precious.

And again, for a game that is trying so hard to distinguish itself somehow from Pokemon, where it's taken 90% of its mechanics from, the argument of having had to play a completely different game to understand the controls to this one is also poor design.
