Undo last action?

[cosmosis]

This is really my only complaint with the game.

It is just an annoyance, but every single person who plays this game will run into this annoyance. So it feels weird to me too to see that this was vetoed by the publisher.

It's not a matter of laziness or too much assistance, its about common sense and good digital UX. Lots of time got wasted on undos, punishing all players for just an accidental missclick and placing tokens on wrong fields. If game owners were opposed to this, then I suppose it's definitely a case of miscommunication. Pls reconsider, a more wise "step by step" undo will enhance gameplay, will save lots of time and won't break any game mechanics.

Kann man im solo Modus die Nachricht, letzte Runde, anzeigen lassen?

Just noticing that someone else opened a new bug about the issue. I “liked” the bug topic and maybe that’s the best way to get attention to the issue. Might be a good idea if everyone that shares my frustrations with the undo feature “likes” the bug topic in the link below.

What's worse is because there's no 'undo' button in finding that the 'end turn' bottom is on the side that many games have the 'undo' button (far left).
On 4 separate occasions, I've hit the 'end turn' button out of engrained reaction hoping to reset my tokens and have instead completely messed my entire game up.
Totally gutted that this has happened again. Why isn't there some sort of consistency across BGA? Many games have both of these buttons.

Has anyone heard/read an explanation for this somewhere ?

There's one bug report thread where the dev says that the publisher said no, but I couldn't find the beginning of an explanation for this decision to stick to a UI that many players find cumbersome. Currently it sounds as if the publisher's answer is "no because I said so, that's why". Which is not optimal public relation/communication, imo.

Has anyone heard/read an explanation for this somewhere ?

At bug 130002, I asked: "Why?" and the answer was: "Because the publisher didn't like the idea? The reason doesn't really matter though. They vetoed the suggestion, that's it."

Yes, formally that is an answer. But, no, I don't think it gives any explanation.

[SachaBear]

Yep, indeed, that's exactly the bug thread I was referring to.

Now, this answer is from ufm who, unless we are told otherwise, is neither the publisher nor the BGA dev for Harmonies. So it's not exactly definitive or official.

The only official messaging we have had is the BGA dev, Mizutismask, saying "We vastly discussed this point with the publisher and this possibility was not retained". Now, if the publisher would be so kind as to be more communicative than "it's no, because I said no, period", that would be appreciated.
