If it goes into game as it is shown on screenshot - another reason to buy MK X or GTA 5.

MKX? Hell ya. GTAV? Lol hell no.

Well, I've got that hilariously broken Skyrim playthrough I started when I was having technical issues with ESO...

NO! First you said it's 10% and now it's 50% ?! What the hell? I can see ZOS adding weapons and armor to the crown store

ZOS never said 10% or even commented on the increased rate at all for boosters. Everybody just assumed it would be that same value as the subscriber bonus.

Which doesn't excuse the 50% value. No offense.

Never said it did. And again we have no idea how old this item ID is and whether it's accurate or not at this point. I expect we'll know more tomorrow.

I've had a few of those. Mods I assume or just a silly OP character build?

Mods. Though, when I say "broken," I actually mean the mods were creating some unintended weirdness, not that the character was hilariously overpowered.

1. Retain Vet Ranks even though the community overwhelmingly dislikes them - check.
2. Create a new system that adds an entirely different and much larger grind to the game - check.
3. Design massive XP boosts to "ease the pain"- check.
4. Sell them for real money - check.
5. Cash in.

We all saw it coming.

Snit

Those pots should have a one-hour duration and a 24 hour cooldown.

Adding superpots to help casuals keep up is fine. Seeing casuals knock out their daily CP in 30 minutes shouldn't worry anyone other than those especially emotional about such things. A cooldown would, however, prevent more dedicated players from chainsucking them during daily 9-hour play sessions.

I had a mod completely break my save game upon uninstallation, even when I followed the mod creators dire tions for uninstallation. So I know those feels.

i aprove those potions being on crown store but only if same or better onea are available as rewards from daily/repeatable quests in game or like hireling rewards which were nerfed to the oblivion (which is not a bad thing).

on a side. note respawn rate of monsters should be tweaked... it's so difficult to find decent solo aoe grind spots(non ranged monsters) these days, mobs just won't respawn and you have to wander around and get bored, even worse if any other person 'joins' the spot xD
i did warn that current system forces to grind...

Skafsgaard

Well - this is shocking news to me. I understand now why they nerfed XP gains across the board. I must really say, ZoS is getting more and more cheesy by the hour.

Can we have a 50% lag reduction potion as well? Maybe I would buy this so I could remember what the most intense PvP experience feels like... (see sig)

maryriv

Yaay I can hardly wait, I will buy tons of these and farm v10 mobs all day till CP is full I have a ring of mara buddy ready to do the same, when that gets tiring ill go to AvA and sit on a node while my guild rushes into it feeding me tons of CP and AP this will be fun

Why do people who have so obviously never played a real p2w game throw the term around like they understand it?

I guess p2w can be in qualifying to various degrees - either it is MORE p2w or it is LESS p2w. It, however, remains p2w nonetheless.

People that think xp potions are pay to win hahaha you guys are funny.

Prizax

This is great, hope to also see an enlightenment potion since enlightenment gives you (x4 xp) +400% no?
And this potion will be only (x0.5 xp) +50% right?

kongkim

Nice. Looking very much forword to this.
Just hope they don't make it affect CP. But only normal leveling.

The main difference is, that enlightenment is / becomes available to everyone, automatically, the potion not.

Really? The Rings of Mara boost affects both and the ESO Plus boost affects both... what makes you think that the XP boost potion only affect the XP for normal levelling and not CP?

I still fail to see how 50% XP potions are pay to win.

Griding XP faster =/= Turning you into a winner
Will he be way stronger in battle than you? Hell no.
I'd say after like 1000 CP or so the BATTLE stat difference for ANY given build should be somewhere between 0-1%.

Then you are missing some crucial information.
1000 CP makes a big difference. What it should do is not relevant to this discussion. What it DOES do is. And it DOES create a significant power gap between players.

Soulac

1) get some players paying for your beta game
2) Add a system which requires a lot of time to complete and is needed by every player
3) switch from p2p to b2p, so no one would flame for putting stuff in a store
4) make it even harder to complete the system and sell it as 'intended'
5) Add huge buffs for a "fair" amount of money
6) since everyone wants to complete the system as fast as possible they'll buy these buffs.
7) profit

It would be great if these potions can be taken only by non-vr14 characters, I will probably buy some to level an alt.

WhiskyBob

ONLY IF it doesnt work with Champion Point gain. Otherwise P2W.

What does that matter, any vr character can gain champ points and they are used across all characters. Talking about stuf you know nothing about.

Muizer

Nice "divide and rule" strategy here. "what, 10% xp boost in ESO plus? P2W!". "Heck no man, it's only 10%. Chill out!" And here we are 3 months later. "50% xp boost potion in the crown store? P2W". "Heck no man, it's not going to matter much". What's next?

Frawr

No wonder they ruined all grind spots.

Who in the world would pay for xp pots when you could earn 1 vet level per hour.

Lol.

Not even subtle.

I'll prob still use them though simply because the quest-grind is so Horrendous.

I am just wondering what the reason for getting to 14 is anymore, since they are going to remove vet levels and they have already awarded compensation for the vet levels already out there. I have a 10 just using her for crafting and i have like 4 vr1's since the last couple of weeks, grind them up then make another one lol.

Cant really justify going past vr1 if we are not going to have anything to show for the work.

Grapdjan

I was personally hoping for double experience potions, so fingers crossed.

It's called "grinding for the next 400 hours."

Merlin13KAGL

You understand faster time to ____ Level/CP's does not an experienced player make, right?

I've seen more than one VR14 that hasn't a clue how to play their class or any other...

XP=Levels , Level != Power or ability / skilled play.

OP, refer again to your own post.
