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)

Edited by specialEd: 10/25/2015 1:49:29 AMprime example why they created a "lock and key" for our weapons........Soooooo no there should be no "second chances" just go buy it off the wall and find weapons to infuse back to 310.......ooh waite nevermind sol edge is legendary..ya your screwed hopfully u have more then one character u can get a new sword for
-
This is why you should lock items.
-
[i]Shoulda locked it, stupid.[/i]
-
You do realize that you can reclaim your exotics from the exotic terminal? Or was that the legendary version?
-
One time when I was dismantling commendations, I accidentally dismantled [i]all[/i] of my plasteel plating. All of it. 3,000 of it.
-
No he didnt dismantle it because it takes a whole 10 secs to dismantle. in that time you would have pulled your finger off.
-
Lock everything. Only unlock it if you go to dismantle it.... Fool
-
U can get it back in the exotic weapon kiosk in the tower
-
There is a lock ability that was out since house of wolves scrub a dub dub
-
That's how I felt when I accidentally deleted my Thorn.
-
Buy from Kiosk, do hard mode, then you should be ok.
-
Umm why don't you just buy another one from the kiosk and infuse it. Problem solved your welcome
-
Kiosk you'll have to infuse it back to 310 though.
-
I am in a similar situation, I didn't delete my sword but I messed up and picked a duplicate sword on my third character and put the second one in the vault. Used the sword on a different character by mistake and now the third character is not being offered the exotic sword quest. They should give you an option to start the entire sword quest over once per account. IMO
-
Might want to lock all your gear now so this don't happen in the future.
-
There's a lock button for a reason...
-
0 -blam!-s given don't be a moron next time
-
Dismantled 2,000 weapon parts. Sucks, but was the only thing I have accidentally deleted.
-
Have you tried checking the abandoned quests kiosks by the vanguard? I know it probably wont be there but its worth a shot right?
-
Lmao I dismantled my void sword trying to fix the quest when I thought it broke...didn't know about the sword swap glitch before
-
The same thing happened to me with my fang of ir yut awhile ago ;-;
-
That's why there's a lock button
-
Get another from exotic weapon blueprint
