Cake is Glitched

orlan · April 2016

I got the cake this morning, and one noticed on my character sheet you get a 100% boost, but after a while the buff vanishes from my character sheet, it should last for 2 hours hmm.

I keep having a problem with the xp buff not lasting more than 10-20 minutes. I prefer grinding xp in Cyrodiil, but since you can't use the cake in there you have to leave and reapply it every 20 minutes becuase for some reason it is not lasting the advertised duration.

This happens to me everywhere. Apply buff. Buff is gone 20 minutes later. It's a bit annoying, but I still think it's neat that they are giving people 100% bonus experience for a week (most people seem to take this for granted), I'm sure they'll be fixing it as soon as possible.

If you die, buff dissapears, perhaps thats the case? They should mention that but you know, its ZOS we are speaking of.

I loaded my sorcerer and did the little quest to get the cake. When I try to "eat" the cake, it doesn't display the animation and I get the message "target immune." When I check my active effects, there is no XP bonus for the cake.

So I load my dragon night and the cake works fine for him. But when I reload my sorcerer, the cake still won't work for her.

Oh well, it was free. I guess you get what you pay for...

Suggest making a bug report. Faster response than forums, but good PSA.

For anyone on PC I'd suggest getting a buff tracking addon to monitor the Cake XP Buff. Mine was working OK last night and showing buff plus full 2hr countdown using Circonian's Buff Tracker.

I was getting 4-6K per mob in Rinkadefelt, Paragon, and Old Orsinium in Wrothgar. Cake, Plus+, Crown XP Scroll. together.

For some reason also spiders and other non-humans were giving more XP than humanoid mobs, maybe the time to kill was slower on the humanoids and my DPS score was lower.

I'm going to check quest XP boost this morning.

The cake is a lie.

I have yet to eat my cake! Looking forward to that delicious xp. But I hope ZOS updates us soon about what is happening with the cake and its stacking, not stacking, how stacking.

Why can't I use the HAPPY 2 YEAR ANNIVERSARY DOUBLE EXP BUFF WHILE in a PVP zone?

Do I not earn exp while in this zone? When I turn in quests does my exp bar not go up?

Is there a reason I have to leave Cyrodil to activate this 2 hour buff only to spend 5 minutes of it waiting in a queue to get back to the part of the game I enjoy best?

... not to mention get ganked then have to leave Cyrodil again.. rinse repeat....

Cake or Death? Anyone?

Or they pull a PvP fix and try to fix it with the DB launch.

Cake works just fine for me.

I play on Xbox One primarily.

I'm screaming through Champion Points on my Vet characters. My non-Vet characters are screaming through levels. Took a Dunmer Templar from level 18 all the way to 29 in about three hours just through Questing last night.

The Cake is fine on my end.

Come back once you have read the thread.

1. The game has a hardcoded bonus XP limit set at 100%, as such, since the cake already provides 100% bonus, no other bonus stacks with it - which is exactly the opposite of how ZOS stated it would function.

2. The XP buff disappears when you die. In Cyrodiil you are not allowed to use mementos, hence the buff is unusable in Cyrodiil, as you would have to leave, reapply it and come back. Through a queue.

This game is coming more and more of a joke lol. TG performance is horrible and right after that, they have the nerve to launch $40 assistants and then a cake that doesnt even work for PVP players, only PVE players. Also it dont stack like they promised but hey that got some people to buy xp stuff from the crown store to stack with it. I honestly dont even know what to say anymore about this game.
