After acquiring all 3 exotic swords in 1 month here is my takeaway.
1. Acquiring the materials is a stupid grind.
- I get it, you're trying to stretch out the content but damn guys. I shouldn’t have to farm 150-250 materials to get 10 materials I need to move on. This was no fun and kinda killed the experience for me. Which is why I waited so long to complete it.
> if you do this again fix the system so I get a mat every 2-3 nodes.
2. Killing the warden and dark blade within 30 seconds.
- holy shit! This is broken! How come the quest will recognize I killed the warden but doesn't recognize I killed the dark blade in the same instance. So now I have to play the whole goddamn thing twice, or 3 times, just to finish the quest = dumb
> don't put a time limit on when I have to kill the boss, just let me kill him and move the fack on.
3. Wait for arms day materials?
- seriously?! WTF did I collect all of these materials for
> no more, goddamn guys you know this shit is stupid
4. No more crazy long quest lines
- I love long quests, I liked the SS quest, the BG quest, but these sword quests are dumb.
> make it more enjoyable for us, less than a grind and more of an adventure.
==== tequila fueled rant over, feedback follow ups below ====
Edit 1:
Wow, thanks everyone for your responses and sharing your thoughts, we were on the Trending page for a couple days, pretty rad. Time for some follow ups:
Gathering Materials:
- Some of you disagreed that this was a chore, you actually enjoyed it. I don't mind farming materials, but getting the special materials needed shouldn't be so spread out. Again, every 2-3 nodes should drop what you're looking for.
Are they worth it?
- Yes, if you havent tried to get one yet, I recommend that you do. If you only have 1 definitely go out and get the other 2. They are very fun to use and very powerful. Also, each one has its own special perks and attributes, which makes each one feel unique.
Long quest lines:
- I also love longer quest lines. I thought the SS and BG quest lines were fantastic and really enjoyed that it felt like I was working towards something. However, my complaint is filling quests with "busy work" to make them feel more in depth than they actually are. I think some of the steps in the sword quests could be evaluated and improved for future quests. I.E. no more busy work - make the steps fun.
Keep the feedback coming!

I guess that's why I stopped at one exotic sword. Well that and the fact that I only have one Guardian who really uses exotic heavies.
-
Go play other games. Patrol is the best for you. 💃
-
Yep, had the game screw me outta the whole defeating the dark blade thing. Then I realized that I don't really use the sword too often, and gave up.

20 AntwortenDark drinker-Voidwalker Raze Lighter-Gunslinger Bolt Caster-Striker Made the mistake of using the titan for dark drinker.....it was painful
-
The only single point I agree with is that waiting for Armsday was stupid. However, as long as the quest had a legitimate reason (been awhile since I've done them), I think it's fair. I would prefer quests mix it up (not Crucible) rather than all be like go kill shit really fast and come back for the gun. Farming materials, Strikes, Raids, Patrol, Public Events, and Missions are all legit activities. Adding mechanics like the Wardens and timers mix things up as well. I hope to see so many more quests this Fall.

4 AntwortenBearbeitet von Dynamo Ultima: 7/14/2016 10:57:23 PMSo you'd rather it be even more trivial to claim an item of the highest rarity and (arguably) power in the game? No thank you. I come from the faraway land of Year 1, where Exotics were actually difficult to acquire. Nowadays, they practically serve them on silver platters. Not only should Exotic quests be longer, they should reqiure immense amounts of skill to complete. I will agree with you on one thing, however: timegating is lazy and should not play a part in recieving or completing exotic quests.
-
I agree the grind for this one is tedious but nothing compared to the one that requires the kills in the crucible with the last word equipped. PD - Which do you like the most the shoryuken, the sonic boom or the spin kick sword?
-
4 AntwortenI got my rate materials in 60 materials
-
For what it's worth, I agree with the OP. It's a very shitty quest.
-
4 AntwortenDid all 3 on warlock, earth took 40 mins, but mars and moon took like 2 hours Abilities wasn't too bad, voidwalker infinity grenades, stormcaller melee = nade and nade = melee, sunsinger radiance made that part simple as well. I feel bad for anyone who did dark drinker on a titan
-
4 AntwortenDay 1 person here See materials gathering was like the good old days
-
2 Antwortendo you know that if you use the same guardian for all three swords you can skip A LOT of the steps after you get your first sword. You go through and do all the steps and get your first sword, then go back to Shax (with that same character) and get whichever sword you want next. Upgrade it. Collect mats and get ability kills. Wait for Armsday. Kill Warden and Darkblade. Receive new exotic sword. as a side note, how can you enjoy the SS quest and not like the sword quest? The SS quest was a complete waste of time
-
1 AntwortenA month? I did them all in 4 days at the same time (all on warlock, the best to use for the ability kills)
-
Everyone did this like a year ago. Nobody cares.
-
4 AntwortenDon't worry, the year 3 noobs will be able to skip all that grind They'll just buy it from Xur in legacy engrams in a few months

2 AntwortenBearbeitet von OurWildebeest: 7/14/2016 10:36:03 PMI did all three [b]on one day.[/b] That was fun .......... On point 2. It isn't broken. Say you need the void sword. What you do is immediately kill the arc and solar knights, then get the Darkblade to a sliver of health, then kill the void knight, then immediately kill Darkblade.
-
4 AntwortenOMG HE USED AN EMOJI
-
4 AntwortenDid the strike yesterday. Killed all 3 of the knights with the shields and then the boss. Ez pz. All 3 swords done in 1 run. Just remember that the boss is the last one you have to kill in 30 seconds after you kill the first of the knights.
-
The materials section DID suck. It took too long, especially combined with the FOREVER long ability kills. But in regards to killing the warden and Darkblade within 30 seconds, the quest states that you must kill the warden and [b]then[/b] the Darkblade. I wish I noticed that the first few times we tried.
-
Whoever came up with the sword quest is either a sadist or has never played Destiny.

4 AntwortenGoing a bit off topic here (sorry!( But so someone know why I can't get the starting quest line for the Sword? I've done it on my Warlock & Hunter, so going to do on my Titan now. I've done every vanilla story mission, every TTK story mission, and it still hasn't popped up...
-
It overall wasn't that bad. If you start asking for things to be shorter, you'll start making posts about how you've got nothing to do...
-
4 AntwortenI liked the material farming, mixed with with the void kills on a Titan for dark drinker... Bad idea but the grind for materials reminded me of the vanilla grind and I loved it, gave more reason to do patrol
-
Bearbeitet von WormChi: 7/14/2016 7:56:54 PMHonestly tho the exotic swords are the most fun weapons from TTK. The materials grind is incredibly dumb, but they are worth it. Makes doing strikes for a chance at a LDR bearable if you have an exotic sword.
-
I only had an issue getting guardian kills. Did all three on warlock. The minor pain was getting raze lighter and bolt caster at the same time.
-
Took one week of focus and dirty sword kills on my bladedancer.. and i banged out all three swords this past wednesday.. was a pretty simple quest line.
