    Actually, just PC and only EU.
    That's because N/A players are still sleeping anyway and there's no need.
    XBox has an anti-XP policy (else all users would switch to Linux) and PS4 has an anti-cake policy (due to their recent partnership with Weight Watchers).

    For those who say they promised all xp boosts would stack. They never said that. Ambrosia and XP crown scrolls never worked together before and do not work together now. When they said all XP boosts would stack they meant stack with the cake. They never meant all the sudden ambrosia would stack with XP scrolls.

    Thanks for that. It was the ESO Plus I didn't factor in. Basically though my point was that he is capped at 100% like everyone else at present. :)

    Ultimately, I think that is the bug. A cap of 100% on XP buffs.

    ...which NEVER implied that identical buffs would stack with each other (which would mean you could drink 10 or 20 ambrosia all at once and get 500% XP or even 1000% XP). That's XP * 5 and XP*10. Ridiculous.

    Ambrosia and XP scrolls ARE the same buff, which is why they don't stack, never will, never should, and were never meant to.

    Does ZOS really have to explain *everything* ? ...

    All XP boost restrictions will be lifted during the anniversary week, so you'll be able to stack everything (just not with itself).


    Go ahead and tell me how we all misinterpreted that.

    EDIT: The white-knighting around here is getting absurd. They screwed up, it happens. Quit making excuses for them. They even admitted it's a bug and that they're fixing it.

    Stack the cake with everything is what they meant. You read into that the crown store xp would stack unlimited. Did you really think by reading that you could like use 1000 scrolls and instantly level to vr16 with one trash pull?

    I mean it isnt just me. Literally noone but you had that interpretation.

    No one is saying they said that.

    The bug is that XP bonuses aren't stacking with cake if it would take you above 100% total, because of a glitch that caps XP gainns at 100% bonus.

    When they fix it today, they will allow all current XP bonus that are able to stack to stack with cake, up to a theoretical max of 185% total bonus.

    The 50% XP bonus scrolls and ambrosia do not stack now, and never did. You use one or the other and can only have one of those 50% bonuses active.

    However, after the patch today whatever 50% bonus you use WILL stack with the cake's 100% for a total of 150%. At present using a 50% bonus (either one) and the cake will sill only net you the max cap of 100%.

    That is the bug.

    We didn't *all* misunderstand that. I didn't. You did.

    "just not with itself" is extremely clear. If you were not aware that ambrosia and XP scrolls provided the same buff, that's on you, not on ZOS.

    Why are you telling me this? I already know it and it has nothing to do with what I posted. This sallington person was under the mistaken impression that all xp would stack with everything. That you could hit 1000s of times the xp by using 1000s of scrolls/pots/etc. They never said you could stack unlimited buffs.

    James, respectfully.....please read before you upset people who are going off of actual ZOS employee written dialogue. As a company, you shouldn't suggest it stacks with all and then also say the normal stacking has been removed for this event. Just that alone suggests that all exp bonuses stack.

    Obviously you can't stack ambrosia with itself, but the scroll+ambrosia obviously should, from that statement. It's actually specifically what's being asked.

    actually read my comment above....they all were suppose to stack. Seems ZOS may have changed that as of the last 24 hours but ppl who thought all would stack aren't wrong.

To me, that suggests you couldn't stack scrolls on top of each other, or ambrosias on top of each other, but you could stack scrolls and ambrosias, as they are not the same item (specifically considering that was the question that was being answered). Technically I can see why it doesn't stack - because the scroll and the ambrosia provide the same buff, but given the question that was being answered, that was not clear.

    Obviously you can't stack ambrosia with itself, but the scroll+ambrosia obviously should, from that statement. It's actually specifically what's being asked.

    When I read it, I read it as similar buffs can't stack together. I understand that Ambrosia and XP scrolls are similar buffs. So I didn't initially read it as go buy both and use them together. But I can see how someone could read it another way. There is some ambiguity in the response.

    Unfortunately, its issues like this that cause moderators and marketing employees of MMOs to avoid replying to threads in message boards. People get so worked up and scream bloody murder if one of them miscommunicates. While this was an obvious error by ZOS, its now going to incite a crowd of people that enjoy trolling and complaining to demand reparations. So while you may get your reparations, you will likely receive less responsiveness on the message boards to avoid future miscommunications. So we will go full circle with complaints about ZOS not being engaged in the boards.

    Its the same item. One is just an in game version and one is a store version. Its the same. Buffs dont stack with themselves.

    Normally, "the same" doesn't mean different names and different durations, acquired through different means.

    Stack the cake with everything is what they meant. You read into that the crown store xp would stack unlimited. Did you really think by reading that you could like use 1000 scrolls and instantly level to vr16 with one trash pull?

    I mean it isnt just me. Literally noone but you had that interpretation.
    I actually had that interpretation as well. She does specifically say you'll be able to stack everything (just not with itself). To me, that suggests you couldn't stack scrolls on top of each other, or ambrosias on top of each other, but you could stack scrolls and ambrosias, as they are not the same item (specifically considering that was the question that was being answered). Technically I can see why it doesn't stack - because the scroll and the ambrosia provide the same buff, but given the question that was being answered, that was not clear.
    Well thats obviously you misunderstanding. We all know that all xp boosts dont stack with other xp boosts. The same buffs as she clearly says dont stack. XP scrolls and XP pots give the same buff. They dont stack. Never have.
    Sure, and I admit that. The confusion clearly arises from the fact that the question she answered was specifically about stacking scrolls and ambrosia, and the fact that she said "All XP boost restrictions will be lifted" and "everything will stack" rather than "every buff will stack". The ambrosia and the scroll are two different things, and them not stacking with each other is the only existing restriction, so it was clearly an easy misinterpretation to make.

    They do NOT stack and will NOT stack. She said max exp will be 185%. BOOM!
    I take issue with people stating the obvious to make a point. It doesn't help anybody.

    The question being asked was about specific items, not the buffs from items. The response was that all restrictions were removed, and we could stack everything. There was no clarification about similar buffs not stacking, even though the items are different.

    Its the same item. One is just an in game version and one is a store version. Its the same. Buffs dont stack with themselves.

    Normally, "the same" doesn't mean different names and different durations, acquired through different means.

    The buff is the same the only difference is duration.

    Yes, it will. It's being pushed to all platforms today. We'll let everyone know the moment it's live!

    There's a bug list of about 75 in the alliance war section, doing the job that your QA team should be doing. Any chance we'll actually get those addressed as a 2 year anniversary gift? Any chance we'll be able to know what the plan is for DB before it hits PTS in a month so we can help ZOS mitigate the damage that Wrobel is going to inevitably do to combat again?

    More importantly, after two years and multiple promises (lies) to do so, any chance we can get ZOS to actually communicate on relevant and important topics?

    ZOS_GinaBruno: All XP boost restrictions will be lifted during the anniversary week, so you'll be able to stack everything (just not with itself).

    Obviously you can't stack ambrosia with itself, but the scroll+ambrosia obviously should, from that statement. It's actually specifically what's being asked.

    When I read it, I read it as similar buffs can't stack together. I understand that Ambrosia and XP scrolls are similar buffs. So I didn't initially read it as go buy both and use them together. But I can see how someone could read it another way. There is some ambiguity in the response.

    Unfortunately, its issues like this that cause moderators and marketing employees of MMOs to avoid replying to threads in message boards. People get so worked up and scream bloody murder if one of them miscommunicates. While this was an obvious error by ZOS, its now going to incite a crowd of people that enjoy trolling and complaining to demand reparations. So while you may get your reparations, you will likely receive less responsiveness on the message boards to avoid future miscommunications. So we will go full circle with complaints about ZOS not being engaged in the boards.

    ^^This^^.

    Admittedly the phrasing was slightly ambiguous (although imho 10 seconds of brain activation on reader's side would remove said ambiguity).
    The point is, how do you expect ZOS people to communicate more and more openly if most of you are ready to take them to court r submit them to your entitled raging based on their spontaneous posts ?
