There must be a reason but can anyone tell me why XP boosts don't work in Cyrodiil?

It is a right pain keep porting out to boost XP.

    Yeah, perhaps due to the fact that momentos don’t work in Cyrodiil and the Breda Mug follows the same cooldown, best way to see what I’m talking about is if you use Almalexia’s Enchanted Lantern then try to use the Mug, it will be on cooldown until the Lantern expires.

    I never understood why momentos weren’t allowed for PvP regions as it’s been that way since the beginning and to my knowledge, none give you an advantage. If anything, a lot of them trap you in their animations until the momento is finished, putting you in danger.

    I'm guessing there was some concern that mementos might become a way to taunt the fallen?

    I think it's more of a performance issue thing. If you have 100 people spamming mementos, FPS and Latency would tank harder than a panzer battalion.

    Yes, and also why non-combat pets aren't allowed. They actually removed deer from the zone because they were degrading performance. So you can imagine why they only allow bare bones gameplay in Cyro.

    However, they keep churning out more and more complex particle effect mounts, polymorphs, and arms packs. And there's no way they will ban those types of big money items from the zone.

    I don't think that's the case, simply because there are so many /emotes that can be used for that purpose. I mean, it's always fun to use the little miniature trebuchet on your fallen enemies who lay dead in your keeps waiting for a rez. ;)

    There should be a way of using event xp boosts and other boosts just in the home bases.

    That way no need to port out every 50 minutes.

    Which is also an issue when there's a queue. Do you risk leaving to buff yourself and having to wait in line to get back in?

    But it's clearly no accident that they don't want you to buff up in Cyro, as they specifically removed the previous ability to zone into Cheesemonger's Hollow to drink your mead and then zone back out to base.

    Greetings,

    After further review we have decided to move this thread to a category we think is more appropriate for this topic.

    Thank you for your understanding.
