Bungie, please remove revival tokens from the game.

One of the single worst decisions Bungie has made regarding Destiny 2- in my opinion- has been the introduction of the revival token system. In one fell swoop they eliminated the heroic comebacks that made legendary clutches possible. Those brilliant flashes where the last player alive locks in, overcoming overwhelming odds to raise the team and carry on to success. Now? Now being the last player alive is a hopeless endeavor, as you will almost assuredly not have the necessary tokens to revive enough members to finish the task (especially in raids, as they continue to grow more complex and/or convoluted). That chance to shine under immense pressure has been stolen away from us. Moreover, this system sours player interactions. Deaths are never fun events- especially when the team is relying on you. But, where previously the team could expect to recover and carry on (provided they adapted properly and revived), now a death is met with anger and frustration when a revive token evaporates. Revival tokens add a toxic, artificial feeling difficulty that is out of place with the ethos of Destiny's play. The game already has permadeath/reset zones in challenging encounters that punish team death, a reasonable system. Now, these egregious revival limitation mechanics are encroaching further into the game, becoming a part of more activities. That is a net negative. They are not adding a fun challenge. They are adding a frustrating layer of lives management to a game that shouldn't have it. Time to ditch the revival tokens and put it back how it was. Let the guardians rise as many times as it takes to finish the job- assuming they can manage it, anyway.

    Nothing like the constant bickering and swearing you get when the revive tokens run out in what was supposed to be a casual match made activity. [quote]We create worlds that inspire friendship[/quote] That's some friendships in the making eh?
