So yeah, the title says it all.
(No, I'm not an 8 year old crying for attention because I made a mistake. Just hear me out.)
Basically, I was running a strike and got half way through it until I picked up a rare heavy that had dropped. Having Sol Edge equipped, I opened my inventory, went to my heavy slot, and looked to see if the rare was any good. Seeing that it wasn't something I needed and at the same time noticing that I was needed in the strike, I hurriedly went about trying to delete it but instead I equipped the rare and held down the button to dismantle (because Sol Edge moved to the slot that the rare had recently occupied) and BOOM! Before I could take my finger off the button, It got dismantled into a ruin, some materials, and a few marks. Thinking to myself, you're an idiot. You're really an idiot. After I stopped staring at the screen in shock and horror, I went and finished the strike so my Fireteam (randoms) wouldn't have to wait on me.
So yeah, I'm feeling pretty stupid right now. Honestly, I wouldn't be so mad if I could get the sword back. Even if that means grinding for another hour. I would do it. But I can't. Because I can't get the quest again. I can't get all three swords unless I deleted a character. I don't want to have to do all the stuff again on one of my characters for the sword. I would though, happily do the quest again to get the Sol Edge sword back on my hunter. In the end, it's just a video game. But, I was already so attached to that sword that I felt sad when I saw it go.
I would really like to get all three swords and not have to re-do a character for something so simple as a few button presses/holds.
Could this be food for thought Deej?
Bump if you think that a second chance for the "Sword Quest" should be an option.
(I don't think that it would be a problem with people farming materials from it because of it taking so much time to complete. It really wouldn't be worth dismantling)

I once dismanteled a helm of saint 14 Y1 when it was Y1 got anotjer on from nightfall...

Edited by RevntPotato: 10/26/2015 2:33:29 PMEdit thought this was the exotic sorry.

I have done something like that. Back near the beginning of destiny in dark below I had a thousand or so weapon parts on my titan I thought why not try and dismantle them because in my dumb head, I thought it would only dismantle one but no, 1100 weapon parts disappeared to my dismay. I never will do that again.

Bump...

That sucks. I accidentally deleted a stack of 20 exotic shards a month ago which blew. Fortunately I had a bunch of year 1 exotics still sitting in my vault. Since launch, this is the first thing that I have accidentally deleted.
-
It you did not get the exotic yet your quest will continue. Heavy kills seem to count as sword kills for the 50 majors. Don't know about the 25 crucial. Those I still need to do. And yes I know this from making mistake myself........

You need to lock all your good stuff by pressing L3, or do it from your app
-
All the legendary swords are rather similar anyways--only really useful in a nightfall where a certain "burn" is on and you don't want to use an exotic slot on the swords. Raze lighter is soooo much better anyways :)
-
It's sol edge not an exotic sword [spoiler]nobody cares [/spoiler]
-
Lock your shit
-
This is why they added the lock weapon and armour to the game.
-
I would check the abandoned quests kiosk, just to be sure.
-
I have played this game from day one and even before they implemented the lock feature, I have never deleted an item accidentally. I mean what could be so urgent that you had to check on the item at that exact moment? Or even the need to delete it there and then?
-
Always lock gear you like the minute they drop.
-
Bungie can only do so much..
-
I infused my raze lighter into a RL
-
Dude just go to the exotic weapon blueprints and buy it again . Just a heads up , it'll be light 280 so you're going to need to level it up
-
Bungie is already working on "fixing" this
-
RIP Sword. Lock feature was made for a reason.
-
Lmfao this is why they added the lock feature. Guess you can only have two swords unless you restart a character.
-
That is what the lock feature prevents.
-
I still can't believe that people are actually this retarded
-
Edited by Broke n' Tokin': 10/25/2015 11:34:38 PMWhoops. Use the lock feature.
-
Edited by DLitt1: 10/25/2015 11:31:56 PMJust get new character to that level.
-
Why wasn't it locked?
-
that's why they added the lock feature for gear
