    Has this happened to you?

    You're running away from a pursuer, and you run to close to a bench, and all of a sudden - You're sitting down! You see your purser's getting too close for comfort, and you try to run - but it doesn't register your movements for a long while, giving your enemy a kill.

    I sincerely hope this gets fixed, a magnetic bench has vexed me quite numerously as of late :P

    One of the problems is getting back up. I think if you are still holding the left stick down, you cant move. You have to let go, then start moving again to get up

    never saw it as a problem till I read about it yesterday and then BAM it happens to me twice in one match today. I was getting irritated but in all fairness I did see the hay, it was directly in front of me I didn't have to cut it so close but I thought i was pimp and was going to increase distance when all i did was shaft myself.
    Its not like the benches jump out in front of you with pitchforks and flaming torches and actually GRAB you, you're the one in THEIR vicinity.
    Hey lets change the crowds too cos when I run into them during a chase they sometimes make me fall over and it makes me quite angry when I lose a target because of it. And nowhere does the game state that I need to avoid crowds if I don't want hassle, its just not right.

    ****ing leaps of faith. In every spot i don't want them to be. They should have a button you hold that prevents all hiding spots besides crowd blends

    It seems like when I'm trying to chase my target, I'll sit on the bench and lose my contract because of it.

    Yet when I turn the corner, throw on Disguise and try and sit, I end up just walking down the bench like it's the sidewalk. -.-

    Anyone else notice this?

    Well what usually happens to ME is that I see my target, and I start to walk and I somehow end up in a bench. I try to move, and I get up for like 2 seconds and sit back down. Then my pursuer kills me.

    lol best thread ever. sounds like you need to give yourself a little more space from obsticles when you run. Use it carefully and you can position a hiding spot between you and your chaser. I usually try to get them to accidentally jump in, buying some time. They fall for it enough that I still use it as an escape stratagy.

    papartusedmcrsk, BlizzardGhost, both of those you posted have happened. Its annoying. What Jack-Reacher said is perhaps a solution to not getting up accidentally but when coupled with the "magnetic bench" it becomes a problem.

    Sometimes the get up sit down, walk the bench happens to me but usually I'm not in slow calm mode, I'm either pressing sprint or looking around for hunters or trying to swiftly get to my blend. When I do it slowly and methodically its fine. Monitor how clean your button pushes are when attempting these things from now on, Ill do the same then we can verify and agree whether it's REALLY that big of an issue that we want programmers futzing around in the code with their big hammers. We have to be certain that we don't ask them to fix something that's not that broke.
