XP Anniversary buff becoming permanent for ESO PLUS member with at least one vr16 charachter

Katahdin · April 2016

The cake buff has already caused some general nastiness in certain popular grind areas. So perma cake buff is probably not a good idea as much as I am loving it.

dday3six · April 2016

The benefits from ESO plus are a bit lackluster, however 100% exp gains is way over the top. Perhaps increasing to something like 20%, but a flat double is going to cause issues. Like with CP gaps for example.

Hazethemadman · April 2016

I think that would be a terrible idea.

A- It would be a "pay-to-win" element. It would also speed up the leveling far beyond the intended standard speed. To compensate for this, they would prevent it from stacking with other xp effects.

With that in mind....

B- It would reduce the sales of xp scrolls. Makes little business sense. Sure they could get more subs, but it wouldn't cover the loss of profit from scrolls. Lets be honest, they sell ALOT of those scrolls.

C- It would reduce the sales of my ambrosia. Everyone would just get ESO plus or xp scrolls. Why you do this to Haze?

vyndral13preub18_ESO · April 2016

What i am surprised they havent done, is something i have seen done in other games, and that is let you stack xp boosters.

So the first xp booster gives you 50% the second would take it to 75% and the third to 100%. 100% boost being the max.

Encourages people to buy and use more then one scroll at a time. And lets those who want to rush rush, and those who dont, dont have to.

Only if you can toggle it off.. Some ppl actually like leveling trough quests and wouldnt like double xp

NinjaApacHe · April 2016

Maybe I did not make my statement clear: if you ALREADY have a vr16 toon (it means you already went thru all the stuff, bla, bla, bla). Then I really wonder: what advantage? A pve advantage? And what is it about? Ok. Let's give a permanent CHOICE (I love those saying: How can I quest anymore with so much xp?? I have to unsub..... - JUST DO NOT EAT THE CAKE!) to have a cake to all that have at least 3 vr16. Happy? Ahahaha. You moan like kitties.

dsalter · April 2016

100% is to strong. rather see it buffed up to 15-20% tho. but thats stretching it
and thats coming from an ESO subber

DangerMan · April 2016

Only ONE weekend (Fri-Sun) every month (every 4 weeks) with the 100% xp boost would be nice to get as an ESO plus subscriber.

babylon · April 2016

How about making the cake trophy come with a cooldown of a day...so that each day we can use it to get 2 hours of the 100% xp buff.

And using it at other times it's just a fancy cake with no buff.

That wouldn't be OP.

As per title: what do you guys think about making the xp buff permanent to ESOplus members with at least one vr16 toon?

vr16 toons going away in 3 months.....
you already get 10% bonus...

Ghostbane · April 2016

As a subscriber, I think this would give unhealthy connotations to the game. 10% is more than generous, people who do not subscribe, but remain active and productive members of the community should not be left out in the dark.

What would be good, having the occasional 'xp boost' themed weekend, available to all.

I'm in since beta, but I'm not so elitist like you seem. So no.

Agree, what a ***

+Support on the thread, not everyone has the time to no life the game.

The conspiracy theorist in me says they did the cake buff for free to get people hooked on cake, which will then be part of a membership or a two hour version will sell in the crown store.

"Hey kid, the first cake is free"

Aquanova · April 2016

"All the eso subs" ain't saying no. These forums don't represent the majority of player's. Your nuts if you think that. I for one love the idea of making the cake xp permanent, and if ZOS wants a REAL concensus, they will ask (via in game mail) the player's that play the game, not only the ones who visit these forums.

I guarantee you they'll be more in favor to make it permanent then not!

Cavedog · April 2016

We maybe should get a couple more days of cake buff due to maintenance, MAYBE. But as a "lifelong" plus member, giving us the buff permanently would be pretty excessive IMO. ....now, let's talk about a ninth toon or a materials bag for plus members please.

I am thinking a 9th "toon" that is actually a mule would be an awesome perk for plus members. Cap the mules carrying capacity at 500 or so just like a guild bank. (we can already make this happen in game without switching toons by creating our own guild and using our personal guild bank, so giving us an actual mule won't change much except convenience and availability without having to form our own guild.)

WldKarde · April 2016

Been subbed since the start and really have no complaints as far as the value.

That being said, with crafting bags coming soon(tm) I think ESO Plus is going to be well worth the money. No need for any more XP bonus than what we already get.

The cake has been a wonderful treat and a nice gesture from ZOS, I'm happy to just leave it at that.

Caeric · April 2016

While I agree that the current benefits of subscribing are a bit weak, I would have to respectfully disagree with this suggestion. Subscribers don't need further XP boosts - the current 10% is enough.

Instead, ESO Plus should provide the "frosting, not the cake". That is, other than what already exists there should be little extras that don't have any additional impact on character advancement or the ability to achieve certain goals. The new crafting bag is one example. Other possible ESO Plus only benefits:

Access to subscriber only dyes, costumes, pets, etc.
Visual addons for character or armor (wisp lights, floating forehead gem, glowing circlets, etc.)
A unique well-made crafting motif
A 5% or 10% discount in the Crown Store (on all items, or alternately on some items)
A small boost to storage space
Free or reduced travel costs - click a Wayshrine and go
A small boost to travel speed, both on foot and on mount

Some of these (such as the extra storage space) would require that ESO Plus be maintained. Others, such as already made armor using the ESO Plus motif can still be used (but you can't access the motif to make new armor if you're not ESO Plus).

demonaffinity · April 2016

As an ESO Plus member, I think it would be too much of a significant boost in exp gain. I'm already quite satisfied with the boost I recieve.

ThePonzzz · April 2016

Why even have exp and levels. Why don't we just log in and have access to everything. You pretty much get that with how easy this game is now.

emily3989 · April 2016

How about subscribers have the cake on a 7 day time or something like that? Once a week 2 hr buff. I don't know, don't care, I don't like to out level content and grind, but just an alternate idea.

I think that would be a way too big of an advantage and not very reasonable.

What's the advantage to levelling faster?

You could outlevel people who start the same time as you but it won't affect gear so surely endgame would balance things out. ESO plus needs something to make it worthwhile.

Ashtaris · April 2016

As a subscriber since the game started, I would still vote No. We have a 10% XP buff now as a subscriber, so that's enough. There are nicer perks they could give subscribers, and I'm REALLY looking forward to the crafting bags

Dueydoodah · April 2016

To those saying no - Guess what. You don't have to eat the cake. Let those that want it have it.

This game isn't too hard to level and exp in, especially if you came from Everquest.
Please lets not get to WOW standard where you can get from 0-100 in a matter of days.

In my experience you tend to miss content if you level too fast.

Be safe

I agree. Also, it is just going to produce a bunch of players that have no idea how to play their class. (Oh yes, we've all had those pugs.) There are nuances to each class that you can't learn from spamming the same attack while grinding mobs. You need the variation of some quests, PVP, and hard bosses to really learn your class. You learn your class best when you try the hard stuff, like trials, Vet Dungeons, IC Sewers. When you wipe, switch out skills, try again, learn a new strategy or attack combo, that is great for learning a new class.

Saucy_Jack · April 2016

What about 100% exp for ESO Plus members, but only for levels 1-50?

RedRoomGaming · April 2016

I think we should be able to buy the double xp along with the scrolls (at a cheaper rate) @ZOS_GinaBruno because let's face it some of the quests take 10-30 mins and you get roughly 2-6k xp.

On your 3rd or 4th char youre sick of repeating the same content.

Ruben · April 2016

Give us a +100% xp buff for every VR16 char we have. Please, and thank you.

Why should only those with 3 v16 get the cake and not anyone else?Is it because YOU might have 3 v16 toons already?
I think the cake should be something that randomly shows up occasionally for everyone.As it is now,in the momentos. Something to look foreward to and never knowing when it will be there.
