PSA: Jubilee Cake DOES NOT stack with other XP bonuses.

Well, hopefully my PSA on day 1 came soon enough for them not to blow their whole week's worth yet, and they now have an extra 2 days to use them with this event.

Plus no loss of the buff on death. Now you can grind worry-free in PVP zones.

That definitely seems like a plus to me, and I was one who burned 1 XP scroll and 2 Ambrosia before I realized the issue and took the time to post about it.

Thanks for the update, as well as the positive attitude regarding the time extension with the event. That's certainly a step in the right direction.

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!

Bang up QA team you guys have. Every patch ... they deserve a medal at this point.

And, We all thank you for bringing it to our attention, And don't get me wrong i agree they have made it better and extended it HOWEVER, I know my guildies spend all day grinding using Scrolls only now to find out its been wasted? that's not really worth an extra 2 days especially now they need to buy the scrolls again

@ZOS_JessicaFolsom

I'm glad you guys where able to respond quickly to this bug. I would also like to hear if you are or aren't going to address the loss of experience scrolls that where overridden due to this bug. Though it may seem like a small monetary loss it is still a service witch was paid for and was nullified due to issues on your side not are side. good customer service dictates you address this in some way or form. as I stated before I only lost one scroll but others that have posted weren't so lucky. I know my guild mates as well have lost scrolls due to this bug.

Oh @ZOS_JessicaFolsom this is only acceptable if you ALSO award the XP that SHOULD have been given to those who burned Crown XP Scrolls or Ambrosia Potions and thus wasted them. The 2 day extension is a nice mea culpea for everyone who was disappointed by this. It in no way reimburses those who wasted time and money on XP Scrolls and Potions. Fortunately for me, I'm not one of those people. But you reallllllly need to make this right for them.

They are extending the Cake for two extra days... I'd say that's a fair compensation. Further, they can still use those unused Ambrosia Pots after the fix is implemented tomorrow, 4/5... so it's not like a total loss... you're getting two extra days AND the issue is being resolved to provide the full buff for the remainder of the time.

This works out awesomely for me because I took an extra day off (tomorrow) because I have to work the weekend and wanted an extra day to take advantage of the XP boost... but now it seems I'll have two extra days to use the Cake as I have next Mon/Tue off.

FilteredRiddle · April 2016

So... I've wasted ~5 Crown Experience Scrolls and who knows how many Psijic Ambrosia. Brilliant.

If by tomorrow they have not made an announcement letting everyone know that the XP that should have been gained from Ambrosia Potions and Crown Store XP Scrolls is, in fact, being applied to all affected accounts, OR that they REPLACE the scrolls and potions that people used for nothing, I would call customer service. And put in ticket after ticket. And maybe go to other gaming sites and report what has happened. Because unless the company takes ownership of this debacle and does the ethical thing and makes it right, you have been ripped off and defrauded. And that is my advice to everyone who was affected by this.

That's awesome for you man! But it still doesn't make up for the people that had taken the day off and played all day using scrolls, Only to find out it didn't stack. Now personally i don't mind. i don't use scrolls and i stick with XP pots BUT! my guildies do and i'm just trying to get more information for them.

That's kind of exactly why I used only one, thought something was off, and didn't use another, logged on and noticed players were complaining about not seeing the stacking. However, they DID extend the timeframe TWO days, so that's 100% XP for an extra 48 hours.... that's equivalent to 24 XP Scrolls and they're only 50%.

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.

If $5 is that much to you then maybe you might want to rethink your priorities. I mean are you homeless? trying to figure this out? You have to panhandle that $5?

Paulington · April 2016

Thanks for extending it and having it fixed so quick, but a reimbursement of the frankly wasted XP scrolls would be lovely.

Also, for the love of all that is well and holy, allow us to use this damn cake in Cyrodiil! Having to leave every two hours and re-queue is such a huge pain in the backside. Mementos were fine in PvP and I am sure there must be a way to make some kind of exception for this cake for the week.

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!

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!

Seraseth · April 2016

Glad it's being fixed. On a semi related note though...

I don't know why they attached the buff to the cake in the first place though. After the event the cake is staying as a memento but the xp is going away, so why didn't they just make the cake a plain ordinary memento in the first place, and just do a server wide xp buff, like every other mmo I've seen that has double xp weekends etc.

Would have avoided losing buff on death, having to reapply every 2hrs, and would have worked in Cyrodiil.

Plus if the xp was automatic and the cake was just the memento, probably less of a rush on day one to get it, that caused the crown store to crash and massive lag and latency in the cities.

Money is money, and it's not "entitlement" when you expect something to work. Good on ZOS for working on the fix, but how can you @jamesharv2005ub17_ESO NOT expect people to be p i s s e d about this? Yeah, it's a free double exp event...an event that we were told would stack with other exp boosters and ended up being bugged. People spend cash and gold on the premise that it WOULD stack, and when it doesn't it's not "entitlement" it's just wanting to actually get your money's worth.

The younger generation may often feel "entitled", but have you ever thought that the older generation thinks FAR too many things are entitlement? Like honestly I see that word thrown around so much around here it's asinine.

Yeah, but we were explicitly told they would stack. They did not stack. See where we're coming from here? If you don't see it then you're flat-out stupid or a troll.

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?

Also if you used a scroll then said hmm this isnt stacking then used a bunch more of them why would you do that?

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.
