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)
-
That's why they made locking an option. I'd maybe feel for you before they introduced locking, but after? You really have no excuse.
-
What kind of rune did you get from dismantling it?
-
I deleted my void edge in a similar way. But I don't think I should get the quest again. I should have had it locked, Yea I was pissed but it was a moronic fault of my own. And I'm not big on mulligans for when you screw up. Not just in Destiny, but that's my thoughts on life in general. You learn and move on. You can't just expect shit to change and be fixed cause you made a mistake. And I'm not putting down the OP, just my opinion.
-
It's always funny when people don't lock things.
-
I lock everything (even of it something I won't use),then if I want to dismantle it I have to unlock it.lol
-
This is why I instantly press the right trigger on an item as soon as I get it, glad we have the lock function here now
-
One word and one word only..... Ready........LOCK!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ps ha ha ha
-
Go to the weapons kiosk

Edited by pass_tha_adobo: 10/24/2015 6:49:08 PMGo to the exotic blueprints man and just get another one.
-
Edited by joey big guns: 10/24/2015 6:17:45 PMYou can buy another from the kiosk. It's at 280 though so hopefully you got some stuff to feed it. It's an exotic you must've held that button down for a long ass time, deleting that shit ain't instant. I'm planning on feeding my void sword to one of my heavies. They're good for infusion and like I said, you can buy another from the kiosk.
-
Thats why we lock things.
-
Edited by themattysuave: 10/24/2015 6:14:58 PMThat's a bummer
-
Have you heard of locking guns? Lol you're stupid. You deserve what happened
-
Lock your weapons ?? It's not hard
-
Do people not have three characters? I don't understand.
-
That is why locking your gear is so important. Every time I get a good piece of gear I lock it before using it that way I can't delete it by mistake. Sorry for you man.
-
I know this doesn't help now but... [spoiler][u][b]LOCK[/b] YOUR VALUABLES !!![/u][/spoiler] [spoiler]this was a problem long ago then they fixed it, you just have to apply the fix.[/spoiler] [spoiler]looks like you have to re do that character now, I feel for you, just make sure you get lots of coffee[/spoiler]
-
Can you not go get the quest again from the kiosk? Idk if it's works like that just an idea
-
Lock your weapons always.
-
You tried. Sorry mate, delete your character and try again
-
I agree that you should have locked your sword, but I also agree there should be a quest that recovers your lost sword. Especially since there ARE no ways to get another per character.
-
Edited by A Cute Pokemon: 10/24/2015 5:47:33 PMI dismantled 1500 armor materials by mistake once
-
You can lock weapons...
-
Since the 'lock' feature was introduced there should be no excuse for things like this you shouldn't get a do over for being a fool
-
We should get another chance. It drops at 220 and takes a lot of resources so why not bungie?
-
I accidentally discarded 875 weapon parts by accident while lvling up w motes. It could be worse.
