A Sword Reforged is needlessly tedious
I've already spent an hour running around the Cosmodrome, a place I currently have no reason -- aside from this quest -- to be wasting time at. I've gathered easily 50 spinmetal so far and haven't gotten any drops of the 'rare material' I need. There really isn't any reason the drop rate should be this low. This isn't good/fun game design, it's tedious false difficulty meant to take up time. I get that you don't want it to be easy for players to get a better sword, but there is no skill involved in forcing us to waste hours gathering resources. I've seen posts elsewhere where it's taken players up to 10 hours to get everything, and that's ridiculous.
Plus, 500 ability kills, that's a little much, don't you think? (Clever trying to hide it behind a percentage, though.)

Why not involve the whole game into a quest?
-
There are two things that should never be done in Destiny quests: 1) mixing PVE and PVP content 2) forcing a wait period (armsday in this case)
-
It's for an exotic sword. I get that it's tedious (have all three) but atleast you are guaranteed a weapon instead of relying on rng.
-
Why cant anyone stop complaining for once amd enjoy content.

EVERY QUEST is an over tedious grind. Why the blam do I have to run the same BORING STUPID content in a QUEST I've ran for a year to be able to pick up bounties from vendors my rep was good enough to trade with before 2.0?? Blam Bungie and their blaming "how many hours in game we play"

Getting all my rare materials and kills took about 90 minutes total, including loading in time, driving my sparrow to my preferred farming spot, and then heading back to the tower to turn in all the engrams I got from killing enemies. If you farmed for any length of time back in vanilla Destiny, you should be completing this pretty quickly. Throw on some music or a podcast and just relax and knock it out.

I had to gather 500 spin metal, and make 740 ability kills to complete mine. Even at 100% i had to kill 60 or so more just to complete it. The swords are awesome but it really is needlessly tedious. Just wait til you cant raid anymore because you dont have touch of malice. Ive already had fireteams kick me because i dont have it. All i need to do is kill oryx to get it, but gotta find a raid team not full of dick bags. Bungie replaced gjallerhorn with essentially a full auto sniper rifle and caused the same bullshit they had to fix last time.

no offence, but it is clear as day you have never played any kind of mmo before. If you find this bad, please, by all means go and do the legendary quest lines in WoW. i guarantee you'll find this a pinch by comparison. For me, i got my solar sword done in maybe....3, 3 hour sessions. Just sat down with a podcast to listen to and grinded away. not hard at all.

2 RepliesWhaaaaattt I'm still on the 25 guardian kills in crucible lol Not looking forward to farming materials :(

I'm actually ok with the ability kills. I will in fact kill things in the course of normal play with abilities. If you want to just focus on that you can also go to siege of the warmind with bad juju, or Monte Carlo. But the materials...ugh. Just ugh. Ended up with 165 relic iron last night. That's still way better than you're seeing, and it was still mind numbing. I honestly wouldn't have believed the crucible wouldn't be the worst part.
-
Yeah I pefer doing dozens of strikes, raids and other stuff for months hoping rng gives me the exotic I want. Wait... Nope. That's a lie. Quests as grindy as they are Make me happier.

2 RepliesTook my about an hour and a half to get 10 arc frags, and like 5min getting 500 ability kills. Just camp the hive spawn in the dreadnought. So in sum, get gud scrub.

Edited by CatMan: 9/28/2015 11:37:30 PMIt's just more pointless gring. The quest is crazy as is and they want us to spend 4hr looking for something that has a 5% drop rate wtf. I'm only doing this once. Anyone who likes this has been B=======D'ed by bung lmao.

Isn't "needlessly tedious" how Activision advertised "Destiny". [quote]Needlessly tedious, repetitive, and surprisingly addictive cinematic experience.[/quote]

6 RepliesSeriously complain about the crucible crap.

2 RepliesYou can only get the rare material from resource nodes, not from chests. As for ability kills, this will depend on your class. For example, if you are a Titan and got a void sword, you have no offensive super as a defender to use for ability kills. But you can use things like montecarlo and armamentarium to boost your grenade/melee charges for the farm. Any mission where you can get a group of hive thrall running at you is a great farm option for group grenade clear out

2-3 hours tops to complete both parts.
-
Duh Bungie makes the quest so shit.

6 RepliesGet a spinmetal ghost she'll and go to skywatch Got mine done in 3 hours.

You don't know tedious until you finished the Lord shaxx quest solo on all 3 characters
