Freedom of control. Just because people in DBZ never aborted their transformation, doesnt mean they couldnt. Besides if im transforming and someone who isnt transformed comes up to me, i want the ability to cancel out and fight him in an equal state without the need to finish the transformation.
Its all about letting the player do what they want. Besides if you loose control of the cancle, someone else can just charge a beam and wait till you are done to inflict major damage.
We do have an idea on how to handle the situation to satisfy everyone, but its not in the game yet though.
Still makes no sense. If you want to fight someone on equal terms, and you accidentally started transforming, then you can just finish transforming, while you transform you don't move so you can easily say in chat: "Wait a moment, I'll turn back to normal after I transform and then we will fight.", and then turn back to normal. Why do you necessarily need a cancel option in the middle of a transformation? Makes no sense as a mechanic once again and by this "letting the player do what they want as you call it", it only creates annoying problems rather then convenient situations like the spam exploit.
Again there is no reason for a cancel mid-transformation to be there, it just isn't when there are plenty of ways to do all the things you said without using a cancel button.
The solution would even be as simple as hell. No introducing nonsense no nothing. Just do it like this:
During the transformation, no matter what type, no matter how long, you are invulnerable to everything like in the show (if you want to transform then no one should have the right to stop you and besides even if you do transform they can still beat you afterwards), you can't move either of course and you can't stop it once you start it. Simple as ****, if it can be done, and it should, I see no reason why not, other then minor conveniences that do not apply to everyone and as I said cause more problems than solutions.
Again: Why do I have to go somewhere on the edge of a map, or behind a rock so I don't get beamed when I want to transform, just so there is a cancel transformation button, that makes no sense, is more useless than useful and that worst of all is useful only in very small and few situations such as duels (but even if it is useful, you can still find a way around without it) but in a map filled with people it is completely useless and because of it, it puts me in danger of transforming. Please consider this, because as I said, a solution for this would and should not be hard. Bonus: It should also give the players a better feeling that they are a character from the show and that when he transforms nothing will stop him from doing that.
Again with Friezas quote from TFS: "I want to go 100% power and you just let me!"
