Add a 'Cancel' option to the 'waiting for tram' period

[srmalloy]

I'm sure most, if not all, of you have done it at one time or another -- rushed up to the tram, been unable to select a destination despite the still-open doors of the tram, waited for the tram to leave so you can bring up the destination window... then mouseo'd your destination, selecting one completely different from where you wanted to go, and had to stand there waiting for the next tram to arrive, then for the zoning screen, to arrive at not-your-intended-destination, and have to run around from the exit to the tram entrance, only to find that the tram graphics are again out of synch with where it is in the transport cycle, so you have to wait again for the tram to leave before you can click on the doors and pick the destination you'd intended to select the first time.

 

Is there some way, once you've picked a destination from the tram menu but before the game allows you to start the animation of entering the tram -- i.e., waiting for the next tram to arrive -- there was a small window with a "Cancel travel" button that you could click to end your character being locked into travel to the new zone. For people who don't want to bother with this, there could be an option 'Show Cancel Travel Window' defaulting to 'No' that hides the window so everything works as it does now.

Alternately if you didn't have to wait for the sync (like red side) this would help ease the problem.

Oh PLEASE yes. haha. I have lost count of the times I accidentally clicked the wrong zone, right as the tram left..then you are stuck waiting, knowing you are going to the wrong zone.

 

As 'realistic' as it is to wait for the tram to come and open up..does it matter? Redside has ferries that are open all the time, and never move, same with the Flyer's

It's not waiting for the tram to arrive and open up that's annoying, it's the animation synch offset — where you get to the tram, and the doors are open, but you can't click on them, and have to wait until they close before you can click and pick a destination, coupled with the tram arrival offset, where you've selected your destination and are waiting for the tram, then when it shows up, you can't wait for it to stop and open its doors, but just jump in front of the tram before it fully reaches the station, getting run over by the tram in the process.
