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.

I didn't even know that this was a problem or a step in finishing the cipher as I just got my first one today. I can certainly tell you though that I'd be pissed after reaching that point only to be forced to sit and wait for no good reason. One of my first exotic bounties ever required me to purchase something from Xur but I didn't know it at the time. Got the bounty Sunday evening. Slammed it out on Monday after work. (Or at least I would have if not for Xur making me wait a week!)

1 답변I turned mine in 2am eastern last Sunday morning.I have had the reward waiting icon above the reef since monday, but when I talk to Variks nothing happens other than going to his "shop" screen. It took less time to do 25 strikes for bad juju. And get 500 points for thorn... Combined.

9 답변Crying about a bounty most of us can't even get (I've beaten 34/35 just rng hates me) makes no sense to me. In a month everyone will have every gun anyways might as just wait

Going day 6 and nothing, I been doing 28 Poe 2 to 3 times a day sence I got it, I'm getting real tired of things, I've been playing for almost a yr, and I've played pretty much everything almost, I've watch everyone I play with get ghally also. Even people who already have a few. This past iron banner I didn't even bother, cause the ethnic light never drop but do for others I've played with. I have no problem grinding everything everyday all the time. My only point is its tiring grinding out so much stuff and never getting anything for it. Most all my exotics had come from xur if and when he sold them. It's getting pointless to keep grinding things out and not getting rewarded for it. But I still play cause I enjoy the game and probably will keep going, just figured I throw this in sence now it's the same with the elder cipher as well. It's actually day 6 with it. I also like alot of others with the same issues are looking for answers to an on going major issue and want something done about it. I'm also questioning getting the taken king because I don't want to run into the same issues and there is no garantees the same issues won't carry over.

3 답변I'm on the stage where I have to get the cipher from the queens chest. Is that only the big chests or can I get it from the small ones too?

Have had two elder ciphers (not at the same time). Both took between 48 and 72 hours to be ready. It took longer for them to be ready than it did to finish them and I finished them both only doing lvl28 PoE runs. Feel sorry for those that have had to wait over 72 hours.
