Why isn't the Jubilee Cake usable in IC?

LiquidSchwartz

Best XP farming in the game is in the sewers and you make it not work there?

Rkindaleft is already PACKED most of the time now its impossible to get any xp...

edit: it apparently is meant to work but isnt working
edit again: buff drops when i enter cyrodiil if i use it before ;/

Why everything doesnt work in IC, like IC stone, cost 10k AP but only works inside IC, why cant it work from anywhere? Why cant I queue up for dungeons in Cyrodil?

Hold up, you should be able to use the cake outside cyro, port in, go to ic sewers and grind away. If you die at any point you'll need to restart the process. Or are you saying when you enter into IC the buff just drops?

you CANNOT have it in a AvA zone
they did this on purpose its not a bug

jcasini222ub17_ESO

im happy that we get the cake and it gives xp... if they just made it give 100% and not stack i would have been happy so i would save gold and crowns from buying scrolls rings and potions

its whatever but it not being allowed to be used in the sewers or CWC kinda blows since those are some of the BEST spots for pushing out vet lvs

lol imagine if the cake did not worked in pve that would of had been an outrage but since it's pvp who gives a ***.

The cake has some issues in pve as well. Once they fix the cake it very well could work in PVP as I believe it is supposed to. From what I have read you just use it outside and then port in. Good for 2 hours (or until death which they left out).

Shader_Shibes

Wonder if they give an extra days duration or whatever to the cake, saying that it's not wai right now.

no point in using it in pvp zones

leave to use it again if you die (3 min)

use it
port in
(another 5 minutes)

run through cyrodiil and maybe get killed or die along the way from ABSURD fall damage (5-10min or even repeat first steps)
get into IC run to farm spot possibly get murdered by the endless mobs and some people (rinse repeat)
basically if you get lucky you can pull some great xp
if not you wasted an hour before you give up and realize a pve zone with 200k xp less an hour is better

they should make it useable in IC if not all PvP zones

It's because they used the memento mechanic to implement it. Mementos do not work in PvP areas.

No words......

I think they actually forgot that mentos cannot be used in AvA area. And unlike other XP buffs, when you die you lose the buff and you have to summon the cake and eat again.

Just to confirm, some of you are completely losing the buff after you zone into a PvP area? If so, that is not intended at all.

Are you supposed to be able to reapply it within Cyrodil? It's coded as a momento, correct?

ZOS_GinaBruno

Correct. Since it's a Memento you cannot activate it in Cyrodiil. However, the buff being removed when you die is a bug we're actively working on fixing.

The bigger problem is that the buff disappears every time you die. Each time you die, you need to reapply it. This is already annoying enough, with everyone whipping out their cake in the middle of a dungeon if they wipe. In Cyrodiil, where it means that you must zone out and re-queue, it makes it useless.

Chairo_Kuma

Yes the buff is removed when zoning into cyrodil. i made note of it after the 2nd time I zoned in yesterday.

@ZOS_GinaBruno

When we die we lose the buff.
Currently in Cyrodiil people play mostly on Trueflame and Haderus because most want to use CP. That said there is a queue time. Having to use the cake before entering is just flat out dumb. We have a queue. If we die we lose the buff and then what? Drop out of Cyrodiil and re-enter an otherwise 20+ minute queue? It's also not working in IC where the best XP in the game is.
It's also not stacking with scrolls or xp potions. We have lost a day already, do you plan on extending this to make up for another ZOS screw up? Do you plan on refunding people who wasted real life currency on XP scrolls only to have them not work at all?

@ZOS_GinaBruno please answer my questions.

Is this new since they moved them from trophies to momentos? Finvir's trinket on a scroll run or bonesnap binding stone as an emote were among my favorites.

idk

It is classified as a toy (momento) which is why it will not work there.

I doubt they can fix this without a patch and server maintenance.
