The Collector Kudos, which tracks your "capture, evolve, or hatch all the different Temtem species" isn't retroactive with your progress before this update.Because of this, I have a living Tempedia in my bank up to date with the game before this patch, and they are all therefore checked off as captured in my Tempedia, but not counted towards the Kudos.

Is there any way for me to keep track of which of the Tems have counted towards it or do I have to go back and just recapture EVERYTHING? What have I been doing the past few months?

I feel like it should either be 100% retroactively tracked or at least let me go in and see a checklist of which ones I'm missing, since the Tempedia obviously doesn't tell me as it's already been filled out for months.

In YaW's words (because I am not a tech person): "Due to multiple reasons we can only retroactively grant kudos that are non repeatable, we just made an exception with the lumas because that is a massive pain in the ass. Capturing the whole tempedia again is a pain in the ass, but not as massive. These are the kind of things that happen in an Early Access game without all the features already implemented."

So back to my words, we understand it's inconvenient, but it's due to technical limitations.

Hi, I appreciate the direct response and totally understand why the situation is what it is.
The main pressure point comes from not having a clear checklist to see which ones are needed to recapture, since the Tempedia is already checked off.
Something directly tied to the achievement, like a quest description could work.
If there's a way to implement that in the future, that would makes this situation be completely resolved.

Again, thank you for directly responding, and Merry Christmas!

No probs! Please do post the idea of adding a quest description to the Kudo in the forums, so the design team can see it!
And Merry Christmas to you too <3

Hi Tsukki, nothing against you or the team but that reasoning seems a little off to me. It's one thing to have technical limitations, but were they really limitations if, for example, the lumas can just be made an exception? Regardless of how exactly you managed to achieve that, there are a number of different methods that could at least be workarounds to this problem.

Haha could be because, as I said, I'm not a technical person. I can't on any level explain to you how it was, as I didn't take part in it, but I don't share that the reasoning is off. From what I've heard, creating the system that allowed Lumas to be retroactive was a lot of work, caused a lot of bugs and took a lot of time (and we don't have a whole lot of that). Which is why we could only afford to go that route for Kudos that were impossible to re-do. Inconvenient but doable Kudos couldn't get the same treatment. Achievements would, normally, be achieved progressively as one progresses through the game, so it's a growing pain of Early Access. And about possible workarounds: I am not a tech person so I don't know the feasibility of those, but we can always get to that in the future and you're welcome to give us suggestions in our forums :)
