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)

Wow the amount of assholes in this community. -blam!- this game; I'm out!
-
Lol that's completely your fault. They added a lock button on gear for that exact reason.....

Edited by cvg001: 10/25/2015 3:27:05 PMIf you're dumb enough to not lock your weapons, I've got no sympathy. Says in clear letters on any weapon Y or /_\ Details _ X or |_| Dismantle R or R3 TO LOCK/UNLOCK [b]when you press R or R3, the weapon is LOCKED and cant be dismantled unless you press R or R3 again to UNLOCK the weapon. You also cannot infuse a weapon if it is LOCKED.[/b]

Year one they heard about dogs and angry girlfriends deleting guns. That lock feature bro...what else could they possibly do?
-
There's a kiosk down by the vanguard mentors that has old missions you can redo I thought.
-
That's what weapon lock is for
-
Dude...go to the exotic weapon blueprint kiosk and grab a new one. It'll be 280 but getting it to 300 is easy.
-
They really should have a mechanic for special legendary items to retrieve them. I.E. If you've dismantled your Sword, you can go to a special Legendary items kiosk and pay like 50 Legendary Marks and some Wormspore or something like that. It would incentivize people to NOT dismantle these weapons, but if they did, they would have a chance to retrieve them.
-
Lol, I did something even more stupid! Long story short, I used my arc edge to infuse my sol edge! Luckily I had already got the exotic arc sword!
-
Why not just freaking lock things you wanna keep guys? They added it for a reason
-
You know you can lock it message so they can't be dismantled by accident. They gave that to us a long time ago
-
You can just pick it up at the exotic weapons thing by the vanguard. You can do that with the Lightning one at least
-
Guess you could say it was a sol crushing experience.

I did the exact same thing with my void sword. Was using the app to switch over weapons... at the same time whilst things were being moved around I was deleting a green heavy weapon. Things move around in the inventory as a weapon disappears because of the app and the sword moves under my cursor... Void sword --> legendary marks.
-
I don't understand how this happens. It takes so long to delete an exotic weapon. Lack of attention to detail

Edited by DeathByDesign: 10/25/2015 3:35:19 PMEdit: deleted reply, my tired ass forgot Sol Edge was the legendary lol. Thanks for reminding me.
-
Sry for you. You can lock gear with R3 button
-
LOCK YOUR -blam!-ING WEAPONS. They already implemented the locking mechanism a loooong time ago for idiots just like you, and you still don't use it...
-
I did exactly the same thing with my stillpiercer just moments after getting it. A few expletives later I got over it. Would be nice to not have to create a new Hunter and relevel back to level whatever in gunsmith to get another one.

Actually that's a valid point there should be a kiosk for completed quests that have a redo option
-
Should have locked it. Your own fault.
-
That's why you lock your shit bro
-
You could've locked it or put it in your vault and it takes a good few seconds before it delete so if you don't realize it that's even dumber on your part
