Request: Cancel Character Load (After Selection)

damiandjay24
Not sure if this has ever been brought up, but I’d like to suggest a Cancel button for a mistaken character selection. Why do I get so pissed for choosing to load the wrong character? Am I the only one? Lol. I’ll live for now.

EDIT: I forgot to mention this would be an awesome feature on CONSOLE.

    Considering it'd be a mild headache to implement such a feature, and the "problem" it would fix can also be fixed by very simply... slowing down and actually paying attention when picking which character you want to play as

    It is likely not a big enough issue for the effort and possible issues such an addition would carry. Mere moments after the character loads you can choose to go back to the select screen and start over.

    I have wanted this feature since the start. This would be great.

    This would be a major quality of life improvement for me. The character loading screen is often when I realise I have forgotten to do something more important on another character!
    #1 tip (Re)check your graphics settings periodically - especially resolution.

    Yes yes, nice to know you never make mistakes. For those of us who aren't robots, a cancel feature would be really nice.

    This is not like a web page where you can combine java script for client side operations and through it, execute server side operations when all conditions are successful (all validations, a confirm button, etc.). When you execute a server side operation you can't cancel it. On a web page even when you refresh the page, the previous server side operation will continue to execute until it finish.

    Since the game is not a web page, you can't ask to them to cancel the process. Your only solution is to be careful when you click with your mouse or hit the Enter key.
