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.

3 RepliesWhile its a moronic idea to have "wait for a random amount of time" as an Exotic bounty's step, it's tolerable... to an extent. The big issue here isn't that you have to wait, but the fact that the amount of time you have to wait is so unclear. The time-span I keep seeing in the forums and majority of articles all say the same thing, between 24-72 hours, yet there are people claiming to have waited as long as over a week, which brings me to the important questions: Is the time of wait (24-72 hours) confirmed by Bungie themselves? If yes, does the timer start from the moment you turn on Destiny to the moment you turn it off? (Meaning 5 hours of Destiny a day would add up to 25 hours in 5 days, 50 hours in 10 days, and 75 hours in 15 days, just over 2 weeks of wait time.) Or does the Bounty work while you're offline as well? (Meaning you should complete the bounty within 3 days max, which conflicts with the week long wait people are going through and therefore confirms the bounty as being bugged.) I really hope Bungie answers these questions.

It won't come up and say "cipher is decrypted" you have to go to the reef every time you get on and hope it's decrypted.

If your console is off are you unable to be summoned or will it show up once you turn your console back on

1 ReplyA clan member and myself both got it this week. I was able to get the Queen item from chest 1-2 hours ealier for turn-in with other clan member. Last night he got his summon and I'm still waiting. His summons took maybe about 51 hours? I'm going on about 66 hours. I just find this part of the bounty stupid and retarded. I would rather have control if you want 100 fallen ultras dead or something... I mean there is the 1000 point boss farm that follows. It's just a stupid concept to be honest.
