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)

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
-
-
If you didn't lock it then it wasn't valuable to you
-
They won't fix it. People who get the exotic sword could just infuse and start a new quest line. I think you're screwed dude. What they could do is make a armory archive with shit we deleted that we could buy back. Not sure how but that would be a nice feature. I deleted a 306 ghost by accident.
-
That's what locking items is for...

Can you find it in abandoned quests?
-
Yeah I made a similar mistake with my Arc Edge (I accidentally infused it into some lame launcher). I really wish we could redo the quest. You shouldn't have to remake an entire character for it.
-
That sucks, but how come you didn't have it locked? I always lock the gear that I plan on keeping because I dismantle shit so fast I don't want this to happen to me. It already has in year , so lesson learned.
-
i did this in the days before we could lock items...omnigal nightfall arc burn, was trying to equip my mg18 harms way arc and my friend died ( 2 man nightfall) sooo i panicked and still in inventory and held x for revive..still on mg18 and its deleted ooops!
-
Yeah, bungie should add a mechanism that prevents accidental dismantling of gear I want. Oh wait...
-
Farm more flakes thats it
-
Nope. That's what you get for not locking. I'm all for mercy. None for stupidity.
-
I infused my bolt caster into my rocket for the raid, hell who am I kidding I won't even be playing this come Tuesday lmfao
-
If you liked it then you shoulda put a lock on it. That really friggin sucks though...
-
Edited by Dona: 10/25/2015 2:23:07 PMDang. Sad story, bro. Good luck getting it back.
-
There's a feature where you can lock weapons… Maybe you should try that
-
Man that's tragic. Blue prints though!
-
-
Have you try buying it back in the exotics weapons blue prints kiosk? I think you should be able to get it back for 150 marks and an exotic shard?
-
I believe you can still do the rest of the quest but with another sword.
-
You realize they installed a lock function to prevent things like this yes?
-
Really should lock your weapons, but I'm sure every asshole on forums has told you that.
-
1 solution. Move all your stuff to vault, delete character, start over, do quest again, new sol edge.
-
Ya, lock your gear and that won't happen.
-
There's a reason the lock feature exists... You just found the reason.
