Cancel button when logging out

Can you please make a "cancel logout" button instead of the "push any key to cancel" thing. I always get annoyed when I'm logging out and can't alt-tab or talk on ventrilo (because I use push-to-talk).

If you hit alt-tab at the exact moment you hit logout, you will alt-tab successfully without canceling your logout.

Not that this is a bad suggestion, it's a good one, but in the meantime, there ya go.

Play windowed.

Click on a different window during the countdown

Playing in windowed is blah.

Wanna know a fool proof workaround?

Note: Credits for this workaround goes to my friend.

1. Go to Menu -> Quit

2. When the window pops up asking you wish to quit to login screen or exit game, press and hold the Windows Logo key on your keyboard.

3. While holding the Windows Logo key on your keyboard, choose an option (either quit game or quit to Login Screen).

4. Once the countdown starts, let go of the Windows Logo button. This causes the windows Start Menu to pop up, taking focus away from the game without pressing any key.

5. Voila! Now you can alt-tab regularly or do whatever while you wait for the countdown!

And yet another option is using /buycoh to bypass the timer. It brings up a browser window/tab though.

It's a good and simple suggestion though. I always thought it should be "press escape to cancel" at the very least. A button would be even better.

Though I think this may be made obsolete, due to the feature announced as being planned for Going Rogue, seen at http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showthread.php?t=196483

"You do not have to log out to switch character."

Since you can already log out of the game whole without waiting, and changing characters will be apperanatly instantaneous, this should solve your issue as a side benefit, right?

Still hate the visit Winscott mission- make it dropable, have it give actual exp or remove it altogether. PS- Down knows who you are.
