LOSING ALL REVIVES WHEN TIMER EXPIRES NEEDS TO GO

Pinnacle ops is just ridiculous at ultimate difficulty. The vast majority of pinnacle activities are impossible to do solo at ultimate difficulty, whereas most of them (exotic missions) were 100% doable solo pre-EoF on their hardest difficulty. And of course, in order to get any meaningful rewards or pass certain score thresholds, we now have to play EVER SINGLE activity on ultimate now. These missions were not designed with revive tokens in mind, let alone losing them after some arbitrary and ridiculously short timer expires. I just tried doing encore on ultimate, a mission I did repeatedly on max difficulty back when it was new, both times I made it as far as the jungle area after the subjugator AND tormentor fight. Let that last part sink in. You have to fight a tormentor AND subjugator separately then together, stuff like that takes time! I was then promptly nuked by the big cabal guy with the mini gun in the second jungle area both times, which would all be fine, except now we lose revives after a timer expires that's frankly WAYYYYYYYY too short for most of these pinnacle activities, especially this one. I've said this many times here but it can't be said enough, no other game in the history of looter shooters has a game actually punished its players for reaching "max level." And this post doesn't even go into the forced deltas! If you're going to insist on keeping revive tokens in every single portal activity (which is 90% of the relevant content of this game) then just stop taking them away when the BS timer expires. Keep the timer if you really need to, just make it add bonus score like in lesser difficulties instead, I think this is a happy compromise. With the state the portal is in now, it's extremely frustrating to get anything done. Every guardian and and their dogs have been asking for this to be changed, please make this happen soon, yesterday preferably. Edit: I finally beat encore, but obviously ran out of revives just before the boss, and that was while speed running like crazy. Yet even though I beat it, I ended up with only a C score, which means I didn't get what I was grinding for. Wtf!? So now we don't even get anywhere near the forecasted score if we don't finish on time!? I had a B+ forecast, I only died a handful of times (tormentor/sub fight of course) why did my score take such a huge hit, Bungie!? You seriously SERIOUSLY need to rework the scoring system and revives yesterday. The recent changes are a step in the right direction, I honestly believe revives and scoring are the biggest problem with the game, easily the most frustrating and talked about problems. Get on it... Please.

  • I agree 100%. The mission it self gives a time frame of 15-30 mins and the removes revives after 16:00. Plus failing this mission after sinking in 20 mins just for absolutely nothing feels horrible. This derealize mission is really demoralizing me on this game. If I can’t even make it to rank 8 when I’ve been rank 10 in previous seasons why even bother?
