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.

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.

I think it was about 76 hours for me..

I don't see the sense in having to wait 2 days for an exotic bounty other than to extend the life of your game which is pretty cgeap
-
0 and 9 on obtaining bounty from poe. Haven't even seen one drop.
-
Since yesterday (Friday), hoping tomorrow is the day, want to have an open schedule to do IB so I'm hoping its done by then.

1 ReplyEdited by Myzster: 5/30/2015 11:36:19 PMI wonder--does the difficultly that you get the "queen's cipher" affect the time you have to wait? I just got the queen's cipher today after doing PoE lvl 35 skolas. If it truly is random, that just sucks haha
-
Anyone saying below 24 hours is a sack of shit for lying. I've gotten 3 bounties and all 3 took 72+ hours
-
6 RepliesHow does this even work? Do you have to play as that character with the bounty for the progress bar to well... progress or something? Or does it stay empty till Variks summons you at random?
-
I got mine Tuesday just gone and variks summoned me today, just gotta be patient

Maybe its the time you play on the char with or without the bounty that counts cant imagen some get it after a day and some wait a week
-
Got it at exactly 72 hours
-
As of 9ish-am (pacific) it will be the start of my 6th day of waiting. A friend of mine has gone though the bounty twice already...I'm seriously considering abandoning it...
-
What if we haven't got it yet
-
Im almost to 3 and a half days. been playing a lot of everything (PvP, PoE, strikes with archons and barons, key farmed) and still no luck.
-
I'm still waiting on mine. I'm wondering if it is a clue in the text on the bounty. Is it really random or do you have to kill fallen after fallen to fuel it?
-
Im still waiting n im on day for n my friend got it same time i did n got his at like 4 this morning
-
It really is one of the stupidest things ive seen for a bounty. You cant do anything about it so far as i know but play. Its annoying.
