I'm glad that you have so many XP buffs lying around waiting to be wasted, in a fully informed, adult and consensual way.
Bridge building may be a viable option for you.

Pray tell, building bridges? In what capacity must I build bridges? Where do I need to build a bridge? Or with whom, do I need to build a bridge?

Your statement makes no sense to me but please do explain as you would a child, so that I might understand your meaning.

Anyhoo's. I will wager that most of the player base who have played more than a year or so, have a LOT of basic crown exp scrolls lying around. I accidentally used one instead of the Grand I had planned, so I could get some good exp during the event. However, it seems that I am not allowed to remove the previous exp buff, and replace it with a higher one.

I can switch out all my skills, all my morphs, all my attributes, I can change my build, override a food buff, but for some reason, I am prevented from removing or overriding an exp buff.

I am pretty sure that Meatloaf would have a thing or two to say on the matter.

You can cancel any consumable buff (XP, food and drinks) by right-clicking it under the Character menu (default key C).

I think you need to try that out and see what happens

I recommend just playing normally. This sort of problem usually clears up by itself in a couple of hours.

Well at the time I didn't want to "play normally", and by that I believe you mean without any kind of exp buff. Had I wanted to play normally, then I would have played normally. But that is not what I wanted to do.

What I wanted to do was take a 150% exp buff, so I could use this in conjunction with the 100% passive exp buff from the event to level up the new character I had just created.

I also didn't want to have to wait the two hours for the 50% exp buff I accidentally took to wear off before being allowed to use the 150% exp buff I hand intended to use in the first instance.

However I was prevented from playing the game my way by ZOS because I was not allowed to override a 50% exp buff with a 150% exp buff.

I was simply making a request to ZOS to allow us to override lower level exp buffs with higher level ones. I mean, why we are prevented from doing this is just a nuisance and serves no discernible purpose other than to frustrate the player.

I never understood why xp buffs can't be overridden while there is no problem for food buffs. Makes no sense. As a result I have a lot of 2 hour 50% xp buffs I will likely never use.

I throw mine on my alts. I don’t play them enough to justify the higher % scrolls but it means they get a little boost doing Writs or whatever I end up doing with them.

Do you know what will happen when you try cancel XP buff scroll?


Anyway...
At least devs can reduce time of 50% from 2h to 1h or increase time from 1h to 2h for 100% and 150%

And about canveling or overriding...
I can see complains about it...
I accidentally override it / I accidentally canceled it!

Dear ZOS

Please allow us to cancel exp buffs if that is what we, as adults, with full and informed consent, wish to do.

It is a nonsense, that we cannot replace a 50% exp buff with a higher % exp buff, if that is what we, the player, your customer, your clientele, wish to do.

This one is most vexed.

Agreed. I would be Ok with an "are you sure" for cancellation, and leaving it so that scolls can't override each other. Seems like a fair compromise.

I'd support this. I'd actually love the freedom to be able to choose to level my character as slowly or quickly as resources permit.

I just wanted to refresh this topic... we still would like to be able to remove exp buffs! I want the exp scroll buff till lvl 10 and then i want it Off! so im literally sitting around doing something else and letting this silly timer run down. I do not want the buff any more! geesh I don't understand the logic behind this decision.

(deleted) didn't realise this was a necro thread.....

I wish there was a way to opt out of the "100% xp boost for everyone!" ... without simply not playing. I don't use the scrolls (well, very rarely) and I don't want my characters to speed-race up levels.

Have to agree. I like taking my time with my lowbies, a way to disable the always on buff, even if it is in a form that has to be renewed every time we log in, would be appreciated. Sometimes I'd like to play my lowbies, and end up shelving them until whatever event is over.

imo this was an oversight. and it stayed that way, since.

lack of time? forgotten? something like that. I don't think this was the intent.

please fix, ZOS.
