35 minutes and no loot, because my lives are taken away

I was solo, the boss was a sliver, and captured me in his detainment. The time has just run out, and the game took all 17 of my lives away. He killed me after 35 minutes of an otherwise flawless run. No loot to show for it. I feel dissatisfied. All this week I have been feeling dissatisfied while playing. The chests are empty, the loot tiers seem to have lessened since last week. Can we change the timer to stop rewarding lives, instead of removing them.

    • We need to be able to BUY POWER!! This grind is really long and it would really help if we had the option to skip it. Its not like it would be pay to win either so I don't want to hear it! Higher level activities limit my power anyways! It would be a win for us and you don't HAVE to buy it! Just like cosmetics. This grind is very anti consumer

      • No more time gating or limited revives, let everyone play everything. Let us have some fun.

      • Destiny is no longer Destiny.

          Oh.. well see they can't do that... Then all their precious streamers will start crying and saying that it's dull and it's not entertaining enough, not challenging enough. there's no feel of being challenged enough, they won't have those limited lives and time limits to make everything suspenseful and exciting for their little minion following that they have. They can't give them a proper stream to watch and it makes for dull content so on and so on...

        • Similar thing happened to me on Kell’s Fall, 15 minute timer and all 7 lives disappeared, died at final boss. More evidence that Bungie do not play their own game or play-test solo. Hopefully Sony steps in and fires the idiots making decisions, should clean out whole upper management, maybe then there is a chance for Destiny.

        • the whole power system is terrible. I have been able to run content at -40 for an A score but the new activity when I do a -40 I get immune from the enemies. Plus it doesn't let me play with new players and get rewards. The lives being taken away if time runs out is STUPID!

        • Running out of lives is as old as gaming itself and I don't have a problem with it at all. However, I do agree with you to a point. The timer should scale with your Fireteam, as for your average person, running an activity solo will take far far longer than three guardians chaining abilities and supers. I ran the new activity solo, granted I did so because it was my first run ever and wanted to run the mechanics. Died to trying to get to a respawning cabal dude. Wasted 30 mins. Before EOF I would have been like challenge accepted and ran it solo till I beat it. Now 30 mins can't be wasted since the entire game is about grinding power level and that's it.

        • Per the TWID posted September 4th, this behavior is being removed from Grandmaster Portal Activities with the 9.1.0.1 update: [quote]*NEW* Reduce gameplay penalties when running out of time in Grandmaster difficulty in the Portal. • GM difficulty Portal activities will no longer zero out revives when you hit the time limit. • [i]Note that Revives will still zero out for GM Conquests.[/i][/quote] (΄◉◞౪◟◉`)

          • Bungie got you covered. You can get the next expansion, dungeon keys, season pass and buy skipping ranks, shaders, ships, ghost, emotes, projections, weapon ornaments, armour transmog, old season passes, earn the right to buy raid jackets, event pass ranks, campaign skips, and 16 pieces of premium dlc. It's all there guardian!

            • I’m feeling you, GM dungeon (Pit of Heresy, which I like - Mordor vibes) with a fireteam with limited revives and a stupid f’cking time of 15 minutes is plain stupid (feel for you going solo), NOT FUN whatsoever just infuriating and makes me despise Bungie more and more. They obviously can’t read or are just in a state of internal chaos and simply cannot pull back due to inherent lack of true leadership, culture, and end user respect and loyalty…

            • A lot of the new pinnacle activity timer makes no sens in GM. We did Avalon flawless with a couple of broken build like Sturm buffing abilities, Strand Titan with flechette… and despite nuking everything we could not make it in time.
