Guardians,
We are aware of a number of different issues regarding the Elder Cipher Bounty that can be granted from the Skolas challenge Arena in the Prison of Elders. These include:
- Simultaneously receiving duplicate copies of the Elder Cipher Bounty
- Unable to accept first bounty step/select bounty weapon from Variks
- Bounty not present in inventory
- Mission Notification present for The Reef while waiting for Variks to summon the player to continue
We apologize for any confusion that may have been caused and are actively investigating these issues.
[b]UPDATE 6/15/2015:[/b] With the release of HotFix 1.2.0.3, all issues with the Elder Cipher bounty should be resolved. Please speak with Variks in the Reef to check on status of your Elder Cipher bounty, if you have been unable to interact with the bounty previously. If you have 2 Elder Cipher bounties in your Inventory, please abandon both of them. Variks will offer you a chance to recover 1 bounty if you visit him in the Reef. Please note, you will not receive multiple awards for having 2 Elder Cipher bounties in your inventory.

I got finished the bounty, but when i try to talk to variks and collect my reward, nothing comes up for me to select. I did the waiting and killed the bosses and it says to turn it in to variis, So what do i do?
-
1 ReplyJust wondering what the average wait time is? I've waited nearly a full 72 hours and still haven't received the bounty back. The constant notification showing that there is a reward to be collected is quite annoying. Thank you,

I got a double cipher drop today and I've completed the chat part and now I am on the waiting phase. My question is when I end up completing them both at the same time will I get 2 of the same weapon I choose, get to pick 2 different weapons, or will I only get 1?
-
Still broken...

Im waiting for varika to summon me and it says i have a reward in the reef i go there but only to find that i dont wtf is going on i want my weapon. Please bungie fix this probkrm i hate waiting for variks its a load of crap. Is this happening to anyone else cause im really annoyed
-
How long do you need to wait til varkis summons you? I've been waiting 6 days now for it
-
Can you just remove he waiting step of the elder cipher because I killed Skolas for it and it would be nice to not wait three days to do it because my team wants to run it again so I told them I wanted to finish it first and I don't want to keep delaying because the stupidly unchangeable step that requires no playtime whatsoever and no skill to complete is holding me back several days and it isn't even tedious or anything it just takes forever and you can't do anything to make it faster as a player making it a completely unnecessary step that can be removed without harm.
-
So if I got mine 2 days ago and I'm waiting for him to give it back should I still delete it? Or would it not give me the choice to redeem it back?

1 ReplyAnybody know if you can keep beating the same boss and get points towards the elder cipher bounty?
-
So I got 2 ciphers and your telling me I have to delete them both to only get one in return with no progress on it!

1 ReplyI have been waiting since Wednesday (6/10) of last week for Variks to summons me. Is this fixed or not? How long should this take?
-
3 RepliesI finished the bounty, however now when I return to Variks and talk to him there is no option to select the weapon I want it just says press B to cancel, without showing any weapons. Anyone else have this problem? Anyone know how to solve this? BTW both my primary and special weapons have open slots.

I had a cipher bounty but variks did not let me recover it

6 RepliesEdited by Departed402: 6/16/2015 10:45:02 PMI've been waiting for Variks to decipher the Cipher for about a week. I just have the 1 Elder Cipher bounty. I have a notification for the Reef but nothing is actually there when I arrive. What should I do?
-
All went smooth for me... I'm at 625/1000. LOW'S here I come. Thanks for a good game, Bungie.
-
3 RepliesI completed the step where I have to get the queens cipher and I turned it in. Now it says I have to wait for it to be ready. But I have a notification above the reef and when I go there there is nothing.
-
And when he gave me the choice of what wepon I wanted to do the bounty for I picked it and I did not get the next step of the bounty bungie Plz help or give me another cipher bounty
-
3 RepliesEdited by Devilfeet1: 6/17/2015 12:19:04 PMI have applied the patch 1.2.0.3 and I still have the notification over the reef and variks has nil notification. Is their a way to tell if my cipher is glitched? I have had my cipher for four days now. Any advice from the community is welcomed if it is proactive. Should I delete the cipher and hope variks gives me another?
-
Edited by Ice: 6/17/2015 3:05:03 PMI dropped the Elder Cipher for the first time when i beat Skolas right AFTER the patch came out, and dropped 2. Abandoned them, picked up the one, and same boat, notification for Reef reward, but Variks has nothing. NOT fixed Bungie. Now my real question is do i need to just abandon the broken bounty so i can drop a new one, or is something ACTUALLY gonna be fixed?

1 ReplyEdited by prricci: 6/12/2015 5:25:38 AMI feel like I should add that POE is not well thought out and designed. Poor rewards are just the start and the glitches are just icing on the cake Bungie. When everyone is upgrading their VOG guns and deleting the guns received in POE is says something. When the time it takes to complete lvl 35 doesn't match the rewards people stop playing. To me the 2-4 hours is not worth the time. Yes, I run with experienced folks and it still can take too long. When it take more effort and time to complete lvl 35 than trials and you receive better drops in trials what use is POE? Anyone get the "Success Guardian" only to realize it glitched you out and you failed the match? Please address the reward system and glitches as my friends and I do not play 35 much as all anymore as a result.

Edited by xxC3rebro1xx: 6/17/2015 2:42:57 PMI just deleted both my ciphers bounties and got one back from variks. There is no risk in abandoning the bounty. You will get it back. The chance is 100%
-
Can you farm for this on lvl 34
-
4 RepliesGood morning, I have started elders cipher quest and have given variks queen cipher and now i have notification on reef panel that i have quest filled but after 36 hrs still nothing from variks - how long does that thing take? or something has happened and i should submit help ticket?

2 RepliesEdited by EPICtatertot18: 6/16/2015 2:57:43 PMI have two bounties and I'm waiting for variks to fix them but I get the notification that it's there but when I walk up to him nothing please help someone I don't know what to do. It says to delete them and variks will give me a CHANCE to recover them. Does this mean that I couldn't get one back? Also if I do delete them does it reset the steps because I already wasted a key for it?
