Rescue needs to go away.

[MiaShino]

No one is getting an aneurysm over a rescue but it's very evident that it doesn't feel good a majority of the time, and I find it ironic that some of yall go "but think of the poor well-meaning healer's experience! heartless psychopath!" when distaste towards rescue is expressed but the experience of the rescued person is "no big deal, go seek therapy, you have anger issue".

This entire thread is one big aneurism over Rescue. Being chain stun locked or cc'ed causes mild feist at the worst, being wrongly Rescued by healer hardly even registers. My first thought is usually; "Welp, they tried I suppose"

It is not "Ugh control of my character was just taken away from me. That healer is playing the game for me by the twelve such abilities should not exist!"

I assume non malicious intent from random strangers first until it becomes obvious they did not mean well. Thought this was normal?

See;

I'm not specifically talking about rescue, I'm talking about just making you do something you don't want to because THEY think it's the right thing. It could be as simple as popping your buff everyone cooldown for you, or changing your target to the "right" one. Would you be OK with that?

How does giving the example that the majority of the time I am rescued, It is either done maliciously, ignorantly, or unneeded weaken the argument for saying I don't want OTHER people deciding where I stand

The other is the result of someone taking control of my character from me, cancelling my cast, and killing my character. I get all the consequences for the healer "accidentally" pulling me into a one shot mechanic or a pit and they have no risk or consequences from it.

News to me. It interrupts my cast and displaces me without my consent, with a net negative effect on me 95% of the time. Not unlike a debuff.

Big difference between how this reads and the mild irritation being stun locked in Dark Souls can cause. It sounds like incredibly unhealthy way to view an action occurring in a fricken video game. Many apologies if that ruffled the jimmies? Reality does stink some of the times.

Yes, I do think of the poor healer that might lose yet another unique utility skill because trogs cannot stop malding over complete nonsense issues. I do not sit there postulating about every botched Rescue attempt then proceed to attribute it to malice from team members. I think someone going on big angry tirades about their pixel character being yeeted miiiiight have anger issues of the short guy variety.

Now we can sit here pretending we are not saying things that we in fact are all day long. Gas lighting or whatever the buzzword of the year is. Now that is marginally more irritating then botched Rescue attempts "taking control of my character away from me."

Perhaps small bit of confirmation bias going on here too. That one is tossed about most frequently but I feel it is highly applicable this time.

TL;DR - Sure sure I get that it annoys you and many others.. had no clue if there is honesty. However if the choice is lose a skill most useful or get over it I am going to have to pick get over it.
