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)
-
Can you get the sword quest in another character?
-
My face slowly dropped as i was reading this... i am so sorry dude. Too late now but right stick 'click' is your friend.
-
U cant cure stupidity. Not even with the lock function
-
Lock your weapons and armour so you don't have this problem again in the future.
-
It locks for a reason scrub
-
I finally finished my void exotic sword with my Titan, a brutally grinding experience. I just went around punching anyone I could find, including fellow Guardians.

Edited by seb_MW3_play3: 10/25/2015 3:30:59 AMYou can rebuy it (if you had the exotic). Hard mode will take it above 310 thanks to infusions But you can still beat xylar and get another legendary one u.u
-
That's why you always lock your best items. ;)
-
Uh, any particular reason you didn't have the sword locked?
-
Edited by Eclipse: 10/25/2015 2:17:52 AM1. Lock your weapons and armor to prevent this in the future. 2. You can buy it again from the Exotic Blueprint. Shouldn't be hard to get it back to 310, especially now that the raid drops a ton of 310+ items. (Oh, you said Legendary. Well, legendary swords have no purpose other than to obtain an exotic version. You should be using a Raid Rocket or Machine gun for PvE if you're not using an exotic sword. All 3 of my legendary swords have sat in the vault ever since getting the exotic version.)
-
Lock feature it's there for a reason

Edited by The_Metador: 10/25/2015 2:24:26 AMXur should sell dismantled weaponry and armor every reset. The items recoverable are only the ones dismantled within that week. A lone item would be worth a combination of Marks, Strange Coins, Wormspore, and the resource used to level the weapon. Recoverable items will be costly so people are discouraged by the idea of farming it but recoverable because we are not responsible for little quirks like loading times between menu screens.
-
You might be safe here how far in the quest line are you for the exotic sword
-
Agreed. They should have a feature to buy back weapons and gear that you can only get once for some exotic shards and legendary marks.
-
Yea if it gets dismantles you should be able to buy it back from Shax for the 20 hadi in flakes and 5 legendary marks
-
I dismantled my legendary solar sword also but when I did the arc on my hunter it gave me the quest for the solar back on my hunter
-
I think we should have a legendary item blueprint kiosk just like the exotic ones. Pain in the ass if you want to infuse some raid gear but don't want to lose the gun itself.
-
Edited by I dab da best2: 10/25/2015 2:14:41 AMLock your weapons and armor... Why do people not do that immediately!
-
Edited by lakerjeff78: 10/25/2015 2:04:58 AMDude. Go check the Exotic Weapons Kiosk. You're welcome. Edit: just realized you meant the legendary sword. Sucks dude
-
Abandon the sword quest and go to your abandoned quest kiosk, it should be in there.
-
Should've, could've, would've locked
-
You didn't notice in the 4 hour timespan of dismantling an exotic? Also, can't you just go to the kiosk?
