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.

Thank you for the update

There is a notification telling me I can claim a reward at the reef but when I arrive nobody has a reward for me. I'm at the waiting for summons part and I want to know what the notification is for because I have been waiting for days

Still get the double bounty from Skolas after patch.

2 RepliesTo those of you who are nervous about deleting the twin bounties, I just deleted my two bounties while in orbit and the fix worked perfectly. Variks had my bounty when I went back and it was even at the same stage (waiting on Variks).

7 RepliesEdited by timbo: 6/16/2015 2:10:29 AMEven after this update, I can;t be the only one who still has absolutely no idea what I am doing here? I have the Cipher on all 3 characters. 1 is waiting to be summoned by Variks, 1 is still to be chest looted, and another is a 'double' drop still waiting to be chest looted. No chance I am deleting the double. No confident of it being offered by Variks again, at this point. Will I still be able to complete it and get 1 weapon? I am happy to sit on 2 bounties, i dont care about the wasted slot. it will still work normally, right? :0/ The one I am waiting to be summoned for it still glitched and showing that i am summoned when I am not. Been like this for days. Why do i get the feeling this isn't how it's meant to be?

Ok it works. Thank You!

Edited by DoubleKen: 6/16/2015 7:07:27 AMI got 2 Cipher before glitch , after I open chest on Prison, I delet one, Variks ask me go back when ready, but nothing can click when he summon. (Variks clear have a (!) On his head on reef) OK, after hot fix, Variks got (!), but he ask me wait for summon AGAIN? I already wait for 4days, he showed me he was ready before! Just I cannot click anything buy glitch before. Today ask me to wait Again?? When I can go to 1000 point stage? Will Glitch forever? ( Ps: I have done one and half exotic Elder bounty before on other character)

Thx I actually got my bounty

Bungee you guys are -blam!-ing retarded for "fixing" skolas. The least you could have done is take out mines or devouring essence. Light switch is stupid too. Please re fix skolas. -your beloved destiny player.

PSN: Springer - 34 Female Human Titan... THANK YOU, Thank You, thank you! Now, there is one more properly outfitted Guardian whom is able to perform her required duties in a manner befitting elite status. Armed with The Hammer of the Gods, she will drive her ships to new lands, her only goal will be the western shore!! Seriously Bungie, Space Turtle really wasn't that hard of a language to pick up was it?
-
Hallelujah

2 RepliesMy Titan has an issue with this... I have a video where I can see the bounties, but it will not let me choose a weapon.
-
Thank you for fixing this. Finally I can start attaining the Dreg's Promise (only exotic weapon I don't have).
-
Can Bungie please confirm the specific details surrounding the drops for completing level 35 Prison of Elders? Please confirm if the emblem, shader and ship are guaranteed drops upon first completion per character or per account (i.e. only once across all three characters). Emblems and shaders seemed to drop at first successful attempt for VoG and Crota with the dreaded RNG controlling the ship(s) drop. The constantly moving goal posts in terms of rewards for completing top tier events are (imho) causing confusion and frustration within the community.

Picked up my glitched bounty this morning, thanks for the fix guys I look forward to my new weapon!
-
Can I get one?

79 RepliesEdited by Draka: 6/15/2015 7:44:22 PMBungie, UPDATE: June 15, 2015. The hotfix successfully corrected my glitched quest. Thank you, to the bug team for resolving the error and thank you to the community for the support. In the future, forum mods and community managers please communicate with us a bit more when these types of issues crop up. We understand it takes time, but cannot see behind the curtain to know where our issues rack and stack amongst your multitude of tasks and project milestones unless you keep us in the loop. In short: Keep in touch. Those of us that have found our way to this post understand you are aware of issues related to the "Elder Cipher" bounty. As a paying customer and fellow guardian I demand an update, even if it continues to be; "we are working the issue" or "we have found issue X and need to investigate how it affects Y, before we can deploy a solution". While I am sure much of your current efforts are focused on the upcoming E3 and "Taken King" reveal. This issue is a known bug and warrants a daily update instead of the BS where multiple days go by without a response. The lack of communication is both maddening and IMHO highly disrespectful to your players. Personally, the following issues apply- [quote]- Unable to accept first bounty step/select bounty weapon from Variks - Bounty not present in inventory[/quote] The community that has been affected is looking to you for an update. By responding you would show that you continue to hear the community and are actively working on investigating the issue (whether this is actually true or not, it would make your players feel like you were listening to them even if you were blowing smoke up their @$$es) We have put our good faith and trust in you. The least you could do, quite literally, would be to type a response on the forums or in the weekly news item. Have the newly reported cases this week shed any additional light on whats causing this bug to happen? Have you been able to highlight the root cause of the issue? Can you flag the elder cipher quest to show up at Variks following a boss completion and return to the reef? At this time you could accept the bounty and have the item go to your inventory or postmaster if space is required? Talking to Variks with the item in your inventory would allow you to progress in the quest chain? Have you come up with any possible solutions to fix the issue for the affected players? Can you flag Varriks to offer the elder cipher item if your character flagged as eligible for the quest and the item is missing from the player character? Since, players are flagged for Varriks to recognize the start of the quest chain, might I suggest that, instead of awarding the elder cipher at the beginning of the quest when the boss is killed, instead change the first step to quest acceptance at Varriks, followed by queens key acquisition from chest, return to Varriks and give queens key, which he takes and turns into an elder cipher (multiple hours or days), return once again to varriks and claim the ciper, then charge the cipher through kills in PoE, finally, return the charged cipher to Varriks for your reward. In this case you would remove the need to drop an item into a bounty slot from boss completion and instead accept the quest from Varriks directly. (FYI: running Skolas again, is a crappy solution. The cipher is not a guaranteed drop at lvl 35, and if it was the items would not be considered exotic) Bump - June 12, 2015 Bump - June 13, 2015 Bump - June 14, 2015 Bump - June 15, 2015
