Ever since I16 hit, I've noticed an incredibly annoying new "feature" of CoH that I can't believe no one has commented on here on the forums.

If another player so much as brushes against my character, I'm sent skidding across the floor. I've had this cause no end of problems, from misplacing Ice Patch on my Ice/Ice Tanker, to only hitting a couple of mobs with Sunless Mire on my Warshade.

It got on my nerves so badly with my Tanker that I have pretty much stopped playing any melee characters for the moment. I could only stand Fire Blaster 0499 just HAVING to be in melee and sending me skidding around for so long. And heaven help you if there is more than one melee toon in the group.

So has no one else noticed this? My entire SG has commented on it, so I can't believe it's just us imagining things.

I noticed this a few issues ago. Around the time they made all Pets easily pushable.

Teams are the number one killer of soloists.

I remember that, but it just seems like it's gotten much worse lately.
And thanks for confirming I'm not out of my mind.

I have yet to notice this. Darn shame.

It seems to be especially bad when exiting elevators.

And when trying to get a peek at Countess Crey in her outfit in that dimly-lit cave...

They all laughed at me when I said I wanted to be a comedian.
But I showed them, and nobody's laughing at me now!

The only thing I've noticed like this is that it seems more common now for two clients to be mistaken about where the other person is and the two push each other around until one of them moves.

On screen it always appears the other person is responsible for the pushing. It's become a joke between my wife and I as we chide "Quit pushing me!" in unison.

That's serverside, not clientside. It results from both characters being in the same position and being moved by the server. The problem being, they get moved into the same position again, and it usually repeats until somebody manually moves to break the pattern.

Happens to my wife and I all the time when we're duoing. A little annoying but both of us can easily blame the server

They do - as long as they are someone else's.
Pedestrians/Vehicles still push you out of their way though - indeed they will push anything out of the way except other pedestrians/vehicles. Makes sense for vehicles but not peds. Of course seeing two trucks phasing through each other doesn't make too much sense either.

Been that way for several years if not from the beginning.
