ESO+ Benefits Effective Immediately after Patch Today?

Jando

So, I know that TU doesn't officially go live until tomorrow 10am EDT. But will the ESO+ benefits start immediately after today's patch? I'm talking about gold/xp/inspiration 10% bonuses????

Senche Mounts too?

I'm wondering this as well. I would imagine all of the necessary work to enable these kinds of things will be done since there is no more scheduled maintenance between now and the "official" launch tomorrow. Would be pretty cool if the crown store was enabled and we got out crowns for current and past sub's.

If it doesn't go live until tomorrow, it doesn't go live until tomorrow. I doubt they'd publicly broadcast that time and then do a secret pre-launch thing.

They said in the Friday 3/23 ESO LIVE podcast that the Crowns bonus for time subbed will take up to a week to get sent out as they require a ton of bookkeeping to get everybody paid correctly.

The same is true for awards like the Tiger mount and the mask... some people haven't received the mask yet others already have it.

So I would think they are going to get things out asap but we should allow a few days to receive everything we are entitled to.

As far as the bonuses go on XP etc. I believe they will be active as soon as the TU patch is complete.

They're the ones that picked the date. Surely if it takes weeks of bookkeeping, they should've been on it weeks ago to deliver for said date? That would be what a professional company would do wouldn't it?

They said the official launch is tomorrow. They didn't say it won't go live, or gradually rolled out, before.

I think they will turn on the Crown Store tomorrow 10AM EDT. But, I would be a little surprised if our accounts didn't convert to ESO+ subs today - with all the bonuses. To me that doesn't seem like a flip of the switch kind of thing.

I agree with you but I am simply forwarding the information that ZOS stated on the podcast. Whether it makes sense to have to wait a week to get crowns delivered isn't the issue. That's what they said we should expect.

Don't shoot the messenger..

Well they needed to include people who had an active subscription today. So that would have to be started today I assume. Otherwise you could leave out people who bought subs at the last minute. Or include people who cancelled before the 16th.

I hope not, I was going to upgrade my subscription to 90 days today to get the senche. I really hope this patching today doesn't affect my chance @ZOS.

Edit: I've been 1 mo recurring sub since one month after launch.

Mr.Hmm

If its people who bought subs the last minute, if it was me I would do these first merely because it will be easier and really fast to handle them, then go to the long ones.

However I think the people who had an active sub since the game went live should be prioritized over the new ones.

Inactive Account

Well, so far as I can see, the update wont be starting till sometime later tonight, so I guess technically we all get it tomorrow.

NA will get it as soon as the server goes up, for us in EU we will get it tomorrow morning, lets say 6:00 AM ?

sean.plackerb14_ESO

I've seen 2 posts from people in the EU that do not have a active sub saying they can log in to the game right now. They are def in the process of changing accounts over since the account management page has been down all day, question is if the changes will go live today. Would love for more people in the EU that don't have a active sub to test.

sean.plackerb14_ESO

Looks like it is active for the US as soon as the server comes back up!
