You will exit in 10 seconds.

IF YOU DONT WANT TO WAIT JUST:

hit windows+m and just ctrl-alt -del and turn off the program

I do that anyways, can't get Zonealarm to let PS close out. Locks my computer everytime

The wait make sense especially if you are in a enemy or neutral SOI.. but when in the Sanct, unless it is required by game saving, should be reduce to 5 secs or eliminated.

..just my 2 euro cents.

Are you by any chance familiar with the acronym KISS? It stands for Keep It Simple Stupid. It's one of the golden rules for just about any good engineer. The more complicated you make something, the more oportunity for something to go wrong. The wait doesn't hurt you. It's a very minor inconvenience.

Well thank you for that little educational lesson Mr Elf, but im a Software Engineer, and have been for a long time, so i really dont need lessons from a drugged up hippy

Avoiding complexity at the cost of performace is not being a good developer, its being lazy.

i tried to quit the other night and of course my character decloaked and i got the normal"you will log out in 10 seconds.

I came back to my computer 5 mins later to find myself still logged in uncloaked with three vs muppets stood in front of me. at first i panicked until 2 of them walked past me as if i wasnt even there.

so i tried to equip a frag grenade hey presto it appeared in my hand, so i lobbed at the bloke as hes trying to rehack, what do you know chalk another kill up.

i dont know if this is abug or what but id have loved to see the look on his face when the grenade landed at his feet.

You're right, avoiding complexity at the cost of performance would be a bad idea. Of course the logout feature is performing perfectly so that isn't what we're talking about here. Now had you said avoiding complexity at the cost of a tiny inconvenience you would have been more on the mark. Of course that's not lazy, it's sound thinking.

You know what though, if the best you can come up with for an insult with no factual basis is "drugged up hippy" you're obviously not creative or intelligent enough to even have an enjoyable flame war with which, apparently, is what you'd like to start. Come back when you can come up with something a little better than that, maybe then we'll talk.

So I guess I'll just say this. It's not going to change. You're going to have to wait 10 seconds in any friendly SOI, 20 in any neutral SOI and 30 in any enemy SOI. So even though you seem to view it as a major flaw, which it isn't, you'll simply have to continue complaining, or cancel you account. Either way it makes little difference to me
