So before I waste XP boosts later is the cake stacking with ANYTHING? - I'm an ESO+ Member with XP Scrolls.

"Attention heroes! Chef Donolan is running a little behind & will arrive in Tamriel at 8PM EDT for the ESO anniversary event. See you then!"

Strange, because the store legit WAS open, and it said "cake: free." Guessing it crashed from the mass of people getting it.

It was overloaded when the event started. To be expected since it started during prime time. Did not take long for me to be able to access the store.

Anyone else experiencing this problem? It was literally just working, I was about to get the cake... Then it said the crown store was unavailable... Wow.

I tried for over an hour then logged onto alt and presto problem solved... but the lag o my the lag in Auridon....

idk · April 2016

If you have lag then go to one of the initial main zones of one of the other alliances. From DC I went to Auridon and got my cake. I ate it too. Then shared some cake with the queen.

@ZOS_GinaBruno

And those who used Crown XP Scrolls purchased with real money for them to not work as advertised and ultimately did NOTHING during this event, will we be receiving crowns or the scrolls that we lost?

I'm guessing they would either Extend the time or just compensate the people who used $$ or crowns to get the XP scrolls.But will have to wait for there next response till then.

jamesharv2005ub17_ESO · April 2016

I think if you used more than one XP scroll after you knew they didnt stack seems like that would be on you right? The most they should refund is one xp scroll if you can prove you used one during the event.

I think thats the point people are trying to make, its been live for less then 24 hours, yet once gone live has caused issues, general logic or even consensus is you would Test this with Q & A before releasing to the masses. Just to make sure there are no side effects. Which sadly have transpired now.Were all relaxed if were having a intellectual conversation on the matter lol.

They're not even some weird bugs that snuck passed QA.

They didn't test applying another XP buff that they said would stack? They didn't test the cake buff anywhere in Cyrodil or IC? It's not like the testing was bad, it's like they didn't test it at all.

2 scenarios:
1) They didn't test it, and just pushed it out hoping it would worked like they said
2) It's working exactly how they expected it to work
2a) So they lied to us AND screwed over PvPers
2b) Their communication is just that bad

Ya I mean ok "Maybe they did test it"if we wanna be forgiving and say that, but to Us who play the game it feels as if it wasnt tested at all lol

JamilaRaj · April 2016

But enough of bashing ZOS. If it worked as intended, the cake event would have been just thoroughly stupid grindfest and a sneaky way to promote XP scrolls only The Monetization department would truly enjoy. Thanks to ZOS's symptomatic utter lack of QA, they brought it to entirely new level. I would not believe ESO could still be so much fun. Hilarious.

jamesharv2005ub17_ESO · April 2016

People assume (and you know what they say about assuming) that stuff cannot bug up when published live that worked internally just fine. making these wild slanderous statements about how this was some sort of ruse to get you to buy XP scrolls is simply crazy.

What I was saying is can we give them at least 1 full day before you start complaining how they hate us and want us to suffer etc?

It seems like people are more frustrated with incompetence than with "foul play", just from reading the forums.

true, but then id say, Say that to the individuals who bought XP scrolls using Crowns because they were told by ZOS that it stacks then upon release popped the scroll to find out ti doesn't work and they lost $$ not in game gold lol. All i can say is luckly I didnt use my crowns or $$ to buy any of those.

No but life is dependent upon real money.
So for those who spent real money for EXP scrolls or what not, this is more of a serious issue than to others who are only using in-game options.
