I'm not sure this is the right place for this, so I hope someone sees it. I was playing the Daily Heroic today (10/29, mission is the one where you have to charge the Gate Lord's eye) alone and right as I killed the boss, Primus Sha'aull, I died. Now, because the Darkness Zone isn't active, I'm not reset to my last checkpoint; but because I died while the Darkness Zone was active, I can't revive myself to go put my Ghost in the spire. So, I'm stuck here until either I return to orbit or can get a friend to join in on me and revive me (or just put their Ghost in the spire). Most other places in the game (or at least the tank battle during the Mars strike) will auto-revive you when you leave a Darkness Zone, but that didn't happen here for some reason. I've attached a screenshot I took (although it's not great since I don't have a capture card). The platform is X360, but I assume the problem exists on all platforms.
Update: I was kicked to orbit for being inactive. That's a little annoying, but oh well. It's not like the mission is long.

That exact same thing happened to me. It said waiting for friend to revive. Couldn't do anything but exit the mission, foregoing all associated bonuses. All that time completely wasted.
