The reward of XP for completing the DLC is worthless to 90% of us...

Rittings · November 2017

I say this, because it's character bound. Can we at least put it in our personal banks to use on new characters we may create?? At least make it worthwhile. I've got nearly 1000 CP .... I have absolutely ZERO use for 150% XP boosts... It was a horrible reward for me personally.

At least make it so it's bankable, then I might even create a new character/buy a character slot from the crown store and be inspired to level that one up!!

As it stands, it's a chocolate teapot taking up a valuable inventory space.

Wait we can’t move it

??

I have no use for it on my main character.

That's correct. Unless they fix it, we are just getting a worthless reward

I'm hoping this is a mistake and they will allow us to bank the items at least in our personal banks... much like we can edicts... still bound to account etc. But as of right now, there is no point completing Clockwork City on more than one character.

OutLaw_Nynx · November 2017

Yeah. Hoping they’lll change it.. I enjoyed the story for the dlc but have desire to repeat it.

Hawco10 · November 2017

Glad I read this. Think I’ll just stick to nas and Dailies in clockwork. Sorry you had to go through all the questing to find that out.
But at least you saved the rest of us from the same fate.
I salute you sir.

90% of players are not at the cp cap or do not roll alts

So those of us that are (the most loyal players to have been playing for that long) should get the shaft on the reward? There is no reason why the xp boost can't be put into the bank other than whoever designed it didn't think it through much, if at all.

Edit: I'm skeptical of that 90% number as well. If dead accounts are counted in that, it means nothing. Care to cite your source?

What’s the point for players at the cap. If you are like me you are not way pass the cap but you’re far enough that unless you stop playing you will never be able to use all the points you have.

McI · November 2017

Speaking for myself personally, being someone with 3 characters who are all maxed. I honestly couldn't care less about the reward.

What can ZOS give me for completing a DLC zone that any level of character can complete, that would or should benefit a max CP character?

For me, I just did it all for the fun. I understand some disappointment, but not outrage over it.

If I wanted to make an alt, I can go get this reward on that character to make use of the reward. Getting some xp and achievements done in the process.

ZunaRoath · November 2017

Lol, if they change it I'm rekt. I tried to put it in bank but nothing, and it took one inventory space in my bank so I just ate it to get rid of it.

But I agree, terrible reward if I can't give it to my other chars that need leveling lol.

Tandor · November 2017

This only affects a small number of players, certainly not 90%

!

However, it's also possible to continue playing a game for enjoyment rather than for achievement.

VaranisArano · November 2017

I was hoping I'd be able to give it to a lower level alt. I guess it makes sense on one level to bind the quest reward to the character who actually does the quest, but on the other hand, 6 out of my 8 characters are all past level 50 and well past CP 690.

kendellking_chaosb14_ESO · November 2017

Quest rewards that are character bound are dumb if you are at or pass the cap a reward like this is only useful to alts.

Rawkan · November 2017

90% of the playerbase are at max CP? Source?

THWIP71 · November 2017

If you think that's bad, I heard that everyone who works for ZOS gets the same X-mas bonus at the annual office X-mas party....their choice of a wool, argyle necktie OR a T-shirt that reads "My boss got a fat 7-figure bonus for X-mas, and all I got was this lousy T-shirt".

Runs · November 2017

I cant believe so many people don't believe 90% of players are over cap, especially after the announcement last week.

menschikov2 · November 2017

I did the Quests because i need more skillpoints(have nearby all in the game and they are not enough)^^ I destroyed the XP-Boost because i have nothing to Level in the next time

Turelus · November 2017

It's a nice item but I do wish it was account bound and not character bound.

Hopefully if we can give good feedback (and not be snide) they'll take not and change it or the very least all future DLC rewards at the end.

Now you know how I feel with my Inspiration passive on my orc.

But yeah, the "character bound" should be transformed to "account bound" so that we are able to use it for alts aswell. Because on the mains it's not useful.

Someone being snide isn't an excuse for not implementing a change that would improve your product. It was a poorly designed reward. Should be changed. Behavior on a message board shouldn't make the product suffer.

Edit: yes people should behave better on here but it shouldn't impact dev decisions in any way

Well at least you got a reward, that's better than getting nothing

If the reward is useless is it actually a reward? Or just something that takes up space?

@ZOS_GinaBruno @ZOS_JessicaFolsom

I realize you guys have seen this before, but it really make sense to allow the item to be bankable, bound to account, not character.

If this is something Zos is not interested in changing can we at least get an explanation?

Actually, nothing is better in this case. Lol. As of right now, it just takes up a spot in my inventory that is more valuable

Runs · November 2017

It may be character bound instead of account bound to prevent farming it. Same reason I think the quest recipes are bound.

The Orsinium quest recipes are not(or were not it's been about a year) bound. It would take about 30 minutes for a brand new level 3 nightblade with no gear and no waysrhines to finish the all the recipe quests. This was also when Cloak was the first skill in it's line.

If it wasn't character bound you could farm it the same way, for yourself. New toon, farm, delete... I assume in this case a set of gear to pass each time would be preferred and I'm not quite positive the time it takes would be worthwhile.

I've been playing essentially since launch. I wasn't CP cap for a long long time, and just now I hit the new CP the day the dlc released.

Its been awhile since Zos posted about that, so I'm not putting in the effort to dig it up.. but they did mention it was active accounts, I think they considered playing within the last 30 days or so as active.

ZoS posted that 90% of people do not roll alts? I don't expect you to put in the effort to dig it up but that seems odd to me still. Either way it doesn't really matter. The whole point of this is that the quest reward is useless for those of us who are at max, even if it is only 10% of us. That's no way to treat your most loyal/active players.

AlienatedGoat · November 2017

This debate is meaningless.

The XP item should be bankable.

It would allow those who want to use it on other characters to be able to do so, and it would have no ill effect on those that have no alts or aren't CP capped.

Why was this even backpack bound in the first place?

Fischblut · November 2017

I was also disappointed

I chose power only cause I remember mages guild final quest (where I always choose skill points)... When I was expecting to get at least one (better two) additional skill points cause of my choice, I got useless scroll

I heard we get almost same scroll either way though, so better to choose "more powerful" one

I also hope it will at least become bankable - someday I will create another character to level, and such scroll could be nice to have in bank.

Apache_Kid · November 2017

Yeah I'm gonna hold on to mine as well and hope that they see reason and make it bankable

SydneyGrey · November 2017

I agree. It's worthless to most of us since we can't transfer it to another character.
