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)

1 ReplyI have done something like that. Back near the beginning of destiny in dark below I had a thousand or so weapon parts on my titan I thought why not try and dismantle them because in my dumb head, I thought it would only dismantle one but no, 1100 weapon parts disappeared to my dismay. I never will do that again.

Bump...

That sucks. I accidentally deleted a stack of 20 exotic shards a month ago which blew. Fortunately I had a bunch of year 1 exotics still sitting in my vault. Since launch, this is the first thing that I have accidentally deleted.

4 RepliesIt you did not get the exotic yet your quest will continue. Heavy kills seem to count as sword kills for the 50 majors. Don't know about the 25 crucial. Those I still need to do. And yes I know this from making mistake myself........

You need to lock all your good stuff by pressing L3, or do it from your app

5 RepliesAll the legendary swords are rather similar anyways--only really useful in a nightfall where a certain "burn" is on and you don't want to use an exotic slot on the swords. Raze lighter is soooo much better anyways :)

Lock your shit

3 RepliesThis is why they added the lock weapon and armour to the game.

I would check the abandoned quests kiosk, just to be sure.
-
I have played this game from day one and even before they implemented the lock feature, I have never deleted an item accidentally. I mean what could be so urgent that you had to check on the item at that exact moment? Or even the need to delete it there and then?

1 ReplyAlways lock gear you like the minute they drop.

Bungie can only do so much..

I infused my raze lighter into a RL

3 RepliesDude just go to the exotic weapon blueprints and buy it again . Just a heads up , it'll be light 280 so you're going to need to level it up
-
Bungie is already working on "fixing" this
-
RIP Sword. Lock feature was made for a reason.
-
Lmfao this is why they added the lock feature. Guess you can only have two swords unless you restart a character.
-
That is what the lock feature prevents.
-
I still can't believe that people are actually this retarded

Edited by Broke n' Tokin': 10/25/2015 11:34:38 PMWhoops. Use the lock feature.

Edited by DLitt1: 10/25/2015 11:31:56 PMJust get new character to that level.

Why wasn't it locked?
