    I honestly can't tell if you are trolling here or if the connection simply doesn't occur to you how people are losing money on this. snip

    How much money are we talking about here? $5? Kinda brings it into perspective doesnt it?

    Friend, I really don't feel like derailing the positive turn this has taken by getting into a *** for tat over whether there is some arbitrary threshold under which people aren't entitled to grievances over financial loss. Under that flawed premise no grievance would be relevant unless it totaled in the millions, if you happened to be a billionaire.

    I am simply happy to see this come to the best possible resolution. A confirmed correction of the problem AND an additional TWO days on the event!

    You sir, get an awesome. :)

    lol its $5. I have really never seen such entitlement for a free gift. If I was ZOS Id just take it away from you be done with it. Refund your crowns.

    LOL entitlement, wanting the xp boost provided by scrolls paid for with real currency to actually work. Seems legit. Zos can keep their damn cake just give me the money I paid for a service which did not work back, like seriously how is this so hard for you to understand, wake up to yourself.

    But the XP scrolls DO work. They just didnt stack with the FREE cake.

    exactly they didn't stack as it was intended and advertised on there page. I want to ask you did you understand what common sense is?

    The XP scrolls did exactly what you paid for them to do. The cake was free remember?

    What if you paid for them because they stacked with the cake?

    Oh, and if we used the cake it actually didn't do anything but sit in our buffs list since the cake overwrote the scrolls. So you're wrong on two accounts.

    What you're saying is like giving someone shi t flavored candy and then ask them why they're complaining because it was free.

    I would contact your CC company and dispute the charges for the Crowns spent. However you acquired them.

    Honestly, I wouldn't bother.

    I'm no legal expert but realistically this was a bug, an unintentional glitch. ZOS responded in a timely manner with a sufficient good faith effort here, and offered reimbursement in the form of more time with double the paid XP bonus.

    Expecting more than that is just unrealistic IMHO.

    Sure you could spend the time and get really upset and try pursuing some recourse but honestly, legally, I don't think it will go anywhere and besides as they say...

    That ain't the hill to die for.

    If it were me (and I used a few of those XP items myself), I would simply cut my losses and enjoy the remainder of the extended event.

    Well said.

    You are right there. Since the scrolls are 50% and the cake is 100% the cake overrides the scroll just like it does plus.Remember too ambrosia and the xp scrolls never stacked before they wont magically start stacking now. So you cant use all three at once.

    Ive gotten free food I didnt like. I never complained about it. Since it was you know. Free.

    Lol, there won't be free crowns tossed around.

    Even if they did, only the people who bought them for a scroll would get them.
    But even then you will probably just get a comp scroll.

    I understand that. I wasted a crown scroll, but I'm not upset because I'm still gaining 100%. I'm happy to be earning 180% once it gets fixed. 500 crowns would be a nice jester to attempt to appease some. All in all, it doesn't matter to me either way in the big picture.

    They lost (potentially) a lot of scroll sales today, and even more in the coming week due to bad faith. This mistake hurt their pockets more than any individual player. And, it's a PR nightmare.

    I'm very slightly bummed that I lost 1 scroll, but I'm really glad I don't have to sift through PMs from angry players asking for their 2 dollars. I'd much rather be on this side of this mess.

    It's not acceptable. The people who used Ambrosia Potions or Crown Store XP scrolls are still ripped off with this supposed "fix." So ZOS needs to either award the XP they should have been given or, at a minimum, REPLACE the scrolls AND the potions.

    I disagree.

    As ADarklore points out, giving an extra ful day beyond the expected duration of a free 100% XP bonus trumps the loss of 1 day of 50%.

    It IS a form of reimbursement.

    Expecting them to devote man hours to pouring over logs to micromanage who had what buffs at what times for how long is, in my opinion, simply an unreasonable expectation in this case.

    Enjoy the extra time with massive XP boosts and the freedom to grind in cracked troll cave in PVP to your heart's content! ;)

    But this "fix" does not take into account people who only had a specific timeframe to take advantage of this bonus in. If the people who used XP Ambrosia Pots or CS XP Scolls submit tickets ZOS SHOULD be able to look at their accounts and see if they used what they claimed they did and replace it if so.

    Hi everyone!

    We have an update for you on this issue. Please see our post, here. (Also quoted below.)
    ZOS_JessicaFolsom wrote: »
    Hi everyone,

    When we pushed the anniversary event live last night, we discovered that the Jubilee Cake XP buff stacking was not working as we intended. We are currently testing a fix that, once implemented, will allow for the intended XP buff stacking so you can reach a total possible increase of 185%. We plan to roll out this fix tomorrow (4/5). We’ll provide the exact time tomorrow, and notify everyone when the hotfix is complete.

    We will also be extending the ESO anniversary event by two days, so it will now end on Tuesday, April 12th at 8PM EDT.

    In this post, you’ll find a brief explanation of how XP buff stacking works in ESO, how it is supposed to be working with the Jubilee Cake XP buff versus what is actually happening in-game right now, and what we’re doing to fix the current issue.

    How XP Buff Stacking Works in ESO
    In ESO, all XP buffs stack with each other, with the exception of Psijic Ambrosia and the Crown Experience Scroll. Not counting the Jubilee Cake, these are the different types of XP buffs currently in the game.
    • Alliance War Keep buff – 5% XP buff (applies only to monster and player-character kills)
    • Crown Experience Scroll – 50% XP buff (does not stack with Psijic Ambrosia)
    • ESO Plus – 10% XP buff
    • Grouping buff – 10% XP buff
    • Psijic Ambrosia – 50% XP buff (does not stack with Crown Experience Scroll)
    • Rings of Mara buff – 10% XP buff
    • Exploration Trait XP buff – Varies depending on how many armor pieces have the Trait (applies only to exploration XP)
    It is currently possible to stack XP buffs for a total possible increase of 85% for most types of content. There is normally a cap in place that prevents any event (a quest completion, a monster kill, etc.) from granting more than 10% of your total level value. For the anniversary event, that cap was raised from 10% to 30%.

    How the Jubilee Cake XP Buff Works
    The Jubilee Cake buff for the ESO anniversary event should be stacking with the following XP buffs:
    • Alliance War Keep buff
    • Crown Experience Scroll OR Psijic Ambrosia
    • ESO Plus
    • Grouping buff
    • Rings of Mara buff
    • Exploration Trait XP buff
    With the Jubilee Cake buff, you should be getting an additional 100% plus the total possible 85% detailed above, for a grand total of 185%* as the highest possible XP buff increase during the anniversary event. That is not currently happening, though, and the percentage is capping out at 100%. We’re looking into why, as that is not intended.

    *Please note: The Alliance War Keep XP buff applies only to monster and player-character kills, and the Exploration Trait XP buff applies only to exploration XP

    As part of this hotfix, we will also be changing the Jubilee Cake buff so that it is not removed upon player-character death—this will make it a bit more useful in Cyrodiil and Imperial City.

    Thank you all for your patience and dedication—now let’s eat some cake!


    NICE! Good on your guys!

    Thanks again for all the fish... er... cake!

    Perhaps the world isn't ending after all! :p

    Hi everyone,

    When we pushed the anniversary event live last night, we discovered that the Jubilee Cake XP buff stacking was not working as we intended. We are currently testing a fix that, once implemented, will allow for the intended XP buff stacking so you can reach a total possible increase of 185%. We plan to roll out this fix tomorrow (4/5). We’ll provide the exact time tomorrow, and notify everyone when the hotfix is complete.

    We will also be extending the ESO anniversary event by two days, so it will now end on Tuesday, April 12th at 8PM EDT.

    In this post, you’ll find a brief explanation of how XP buff stacking works in ESO, how it is supposed to be working with the Jubilee Cake XP buff versus what is actually happening in-game right now, and what we’re doing to fix the current issue.

    How XP Buff Stacking Works in ESO
    In ESO, all XP buffs stack with each other, with the exception of Psijic Ambrosia and the Crown Experience Scroll. Not counting the Jubilee Cake, these are the different types of XP buffs currently in the game.

    Alliance War Keep buff – 5% XP buff (applies only to monster and player-character kills)
    Crown Experience Scroll – 50% XP buff (does not stack with Psijic Ambrosia)
    ESO Plus – 10% XP buff
    Grouping buff – 10% XP buff
    Psijic Ambrosia – 50% XP buff (does not stack with Crown Experience Scroll)
    Rings of Mara buff – 10% XP buff
    Exploration Trait XP buff – Varies depending on how many armor pieces have the Trait (applies only to exploration XP)

    It is currently possible to stack XP buffs for a total possible increase of 85% for most types of content. There is normally a cap in place that prevents any event (a quest completion, a monster kill, etc.) from granting more than 10% of your total level value. For the anniversary event, that cap was raised from 10% to 30%.

    How the Jubilee Cake XP Buff Works
    The Jubilee Cake buff for the ESO anniversary event should be stacking with the following XP buffs:

    Alliance War Keep buff
    Crown Experience Scroll OR Psijic Ambrosia
    ESO Plus
    Grouping buff
    Rings of Mara buff
    Exploration Trait XP buff

    With the Jubilee Cake buff, you should be getting an additional 100% plus the total possible 85% detailed above, for a grand total of 185%* as the highest possible XP buff increase during the anniversary event. That is not currently happening, though, and the percentage is capping out at 100%. We’re looking into why, as that is not intended.

    *Please note: The Alliance War Keep XP buff applies only to monster and player-character kills, and the Exploration Trait XP buff applies only to exploration XP

    As part of this hotfix, we will also be changing the Jubilee Cake buff so that it is not removed upon player-character death—this will make it a bit more useful in Cyrodiil and Imperial City.

    Thank you all for your patience and dedication—now let’s eat some cake!

    Does no one else find it hilarious that they don't even know that Cyrodil keep bonuses can go up to 15%... LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

    They lost (potentially) a lot of scroll sales today, and even more in the coming week due to bad faith. This mistake hurt their pockets more than any individual player. And, it's a PR nightmare.

    I'm very slightly bummed that I lost 1 scroll, but I'm really glad I don't have to sift through PMs from angry players asking for their 2 dollars. I'd much rather be on this side of this mess.

    Well to be fair I don't think there are enough people still playing or that dedicated for it to be a real PR nightmare.

    Did a quick twitter sweep and thought I would put the findings here in case anyone was interested/in case OP wanted to edit their original post.

    We do have an update on the issue. It's being fixed tomorrow (and the event extended):

    Actually, I think a lot of people are playing, and that a lot of people are unaware that they are wasting Potions and Scrolls. They don't read the forum and unless someone mentions it in Zone or Guild chat, they would never know. One of my guilds updated their notice today to warn people, but to be honest, it is not our job to get the word out for ZOS.

    Hopefully, all those people will write to Customer Support so they can get replacements for the Potions and Scrolls that were wasted.

    Can you please answer this question.

    Will the cake exp also stack with public dungeons 100% EXP that is given within public dungeons. I did not see this in the list and I just wanted to make sure this wasn't left out. If so technically the EXP cap will need to hit 250% as a max for those in public dungeons using ambrosia/scrolls.

    185% EXP buff is exactly what I am currently getting... this is crazy pills. How am I the only person on server this is working for? I will take screen shots tonight and post though it will take a bit I have to wait for buffs to wear off. And if someone could pm instructions on how to link an image into forums I'd appreciate it.
