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)

There's only 1 shard of Oryx's sword bro
-
I purposely deleted both my Sol edge and Arc edge. I never used them.

1) lock your items 2) use your eyes 3) buy one back from blueprints

Edited by S3CR3TN1NJA: 10/24/2015 5:41:22 PMOkay a few things 1. Lock your damn items 2. It takes soooo long to dismantle an exotic how did you not notice.<--not an exotic, got it. 3. Had you not picked up said item it would have gone to your post master so dismantling to fit it in is just silly
-
Yeah honestly the once per character lock out would be fine if they also had it pop back up if you dismantled it. I mean technically that would let you use it to infuse things but the quest is so damn long I can't imagine a lot of people wanting to do it a lot.

Should have locked the sword. I always lock my weapons and armor.
-
This is why we wait to dismantle rares after the strike or in orbit.
-
Don't worry man yesterday I bought the rong piece I'd armor
-
You can earn it again on another character
-
I locked my sword but it was deleted when I got rid of my alts I didn't like the look of. I blame character creator and its lack of turning heads. So many trolls on this topic in every forum. Blah blah "reroll" blah blah "lock it". NS. On a positive side the swords suck anyways, an Axe would have been more appealing.

Lock it down!
-
This is why I lock it down!
-
Lock Your Shit
-
You sound like an 8 year old crying for attention
-
You can lock weapons.
-
Just do the quest on a secondary character, and lock the new sword when you get it
-
Shoud've locked the sword to prevent dismantling. Just another lesson learned the hard way I guess.
-
Seperate thought but are people starting to dismantle year one legendary weapons yet. I'll keep my faves for crucible and collection purposes but I got plenty that I can shard. They aren't coming back right? Will this net legendary marks?
-
This would be a good idea, but I don't really think they will do this. And besides you should have locked it. I don't want to sound like a dick head but lock all of your important stuff you intend to upgrade.
-
You didn't think to lock it? You should get nothing back.
-
That is exactly why Bungie implanted the lock system in April
-
Or you could just lock it if you don't want to dismantle it
-
This is why there's a lock mechanic.
-
Feel sorry for you but you should have locked it.
-
Don't be a fool, lock your tool.
