So I haven't seen many serious threads about this problem. Let's get to the point right away- The random waiting time for the Variks summon is just plain irritating. It's not a matter of patience, but a matter of not having something to look at and be patient for. I have seen some people who have been waiting since the first day of the expansion and others who wait an hour. I don't know if this RNG (Which is already used with the drop of the Elder Cipher in the first place) or a serious bug that hasn't been addressed in any way by Bungie. I know a lot of people are irritated at the situation, and I for one have expected some info about if this is intended or not from Bungie. A little clarity would be suuuuuper nice right now. I would like to appreciate the originality ( I use that term lightly) of the guns but instead I get to stare at an unfinished quest for days on end.
I want people who care about an answer from Bungie on this situation to post how long it took them, even if it was only a few hours to get the summons from Varicks, and state if they believe this is a bug/intentional thing. The main thing that makes me believe it might be a bug is that some people get a message in orbit, while others ended up flying to the Reef and seeing a exclamation point above Variks head without ever getting the orbit message.
Edit- I'm already seeing the large number growing in "over 72 hours". We really deserve an answer from Bungie on if this was intentional and if so WHY they chose to do it like this, taking into consideration the amount of work it took some of us to kill the bosses and "earn" the cipher as a well deserved reward. Then we also have to work and grind some more bosses to finish the quest to receive the new weapons as well.
Edit- I have gotten both of mine now. One took 72 hours while the other took 48. Nothing I did changed the times, they were both RNG. The speed this thread is getting attention should hopefully get Bungie to acknowledge it and give us some info on why it's like this.

Edited by Jebus Kreist: 5/31/2015 6:03:26 PMBungie couldn't come up with a worthy phase for an exotic bounty that would take some time to do... So they took the lazy road and added even more RNG and unneccessary wait time after you already grinded out the 34/34 POE to get your reward. Thanks bungie. You couldn't just have a set god damn timer at least? Or have a little green bar that slowly moves across the bounty phase' progress like every other bounty? I've also heard of people getting it in less that 2 hours even, so what the hell? Just leaving us in the dark needlessly and telling us "Eventually" like usual with most things related to fixing problems in Destiny. Whereas bugs that benefit people rather than being an overall detriment to the community seem to be fixed so fast they're like Day-1 Patches in comparison.

I got it after two and a half days.

Care about an answer from Bungie? You really think they will own up to more issues? No brother, this is beyond stupidity, and it's killing me, going on way past my 24 hour mark, and things aren't looking too good

I don't get it, why even include a mechanic like this. Waiting? Really?! After doing the hardest thing included in the dlc for pve, we have to randomly wait for this douche to summon! Like. It doesn't even sound good on paper! I got lucky for the first time in Destiny for like months, last luck stroke I had was with Gjallerhorn and that was like back in December, and now this? Although, I am grateful to even have the bounty, I don't enjoy the fact that I have it, but can't work towards the next part because Bungie refuses to even answer the question, why is this even a thing!? Horrible timing as I have finals, and I won't be able to even work towards this all week and was hoping for some fun over the weekend, Thanks Bungie, you've officially ruined everything Fix this shit for all the unfortunate souls who don't have the time for this shit, I expected to recieve my bounty, and get it compleletly done and over with....

I got mine Tuesday afternoon, I still have nothing and it's Sunday for god sake.

As of one hour ago I am waiting 72 hours. So 73 now. It's utter bullshit.

It took me 3.5 days for him to "summon" me I I never got the message in orbit and I myself think it's a bug.
