Official Discussion Thread for "Twitch Drops & More Are Coming to The Elder Scrolls Online!"

ZOS_JessicaFolsom

This is the official discussion thread for the "Twitch Drops & More Are Coming to The Elder Scrolls Online!" blog article.

Very soon, you'll be able to earn unique Crown Crates just by watching The Elder Scrolls Online on Twitch, and we're bringing Crown Packs, ESO Plus, and ESO: Summerset to the Games on Twitch digital store. Want to know more? Check out this article for full details!

I'm guessing this doesn't count for the daily log-in for the log-in reward (because someone somewhere will wonder that.)

Are the purchases for *anything* in the Crown store or select items only? At the top the article mentions " Crown Packs, an ESO Plus membership, and The Elder Scrolls Online: Summerset Standard Edition" but later it talks about general shopping and getting a type of crate for purchasing through twitch, suggesting other items will eventually be available.

I guess this is good for getting more people into watching or streaming ESO but not something which I care for personally.
Depending how the drops are earned I might just leave streams on whilst I am working on RP stuff or something, I just generally am not a stream watching person.

Too far ZOS.

I don't mind console players not receiving this. But what I not know, temporary or permanently for pc only?

I'll tell all my guild mates about this on Xbox using the broken in-game voice chat that these are currently only available for PC/Mac users.

It's anything that will be available to purchase via Twitch; only some specific items will be available for purchase.

@ZOS_GinaBruno any word on this making its way to console accounts at some point?

Also, just want to add that although you will get a the Crown Crate after making a purchase, but you also will have a chance to get it through Twitch Drops too.

Generally that's how it works. Other companies let you have the stream up and you'll have a chance to get something. Quake Champions and Warframe are two that come to mind immediately. Warframe you need to be watching for a certain amount of time and you get something specific. Quake you get loot boxes just for lurking. But as the article says, you need to be a in a streamers channel that is "partnered" with the company.

Crates within crates?
This is truly the future.

OK, so sounds like it's limited selection, possibly on a seasonal or promotional basis, or maybe "TBD" at present.

Are there plans to include console users in this event down the road?

mdylan2013

Wait... what? Console users won't be able to get the special crates?

Aliyavana

Will there only be rare apex mounts and consumables? Will there be pets and other low tier rewards to cushion the rng? Will it be convertible to gems

Minyassa

More content that people have to go outside of the game to get does not make me want to go get it, it just makes me resent that I'm going to see it in the game.

Maybe an add-on could hide all Crown Store stuff and make it look like generic skins, outfits, and mounts?

No snark, I really wonder if that is possible.

Could also come in handy for those RP people and others who feel their immersion is intruded upon by some of the stuff that's out there like ice horses and cowboy hats.

As an avid watcher of ESO streamers, and a console player, I'm very, very disappointed that ZOS has decided to exclude console players from this promotion.

Excluded so far. As usual, they have to deal with Sony and Microsoft with accounts and what not.

AverageJo3Gam3r

@ManwithBeard9 I'm not buying it. Plenty of other games have twitch drops cross-platform.

BenevolentBowd

When exactly does this go live @ZOS_GinaBruno on May 21st? If it is, say if it is midnight eastern time, it's only 9pm here on the west coast and there are often ESO streamers on.

VaranisArano

I haven't watched any Twitch streams so someone please correct me if I'm wrong here. I will be able to earn a welkynd oroborus crown crate for watching something related to the game as opposed to actually playing the game?

That seems a little strange, but I guess it supports streamers.

Im aware. For whatever reason ZOS has issues with Microsoft. Sony a much lesser extent.

We should get a Twitch Crate for linking the accounts just to get us started!

nothing about apex mounts

exclusive Senche of Scarlet Regret mount or Senche Cub of Scarlet Regret pet.....
Note that beyond the typical “Common" and “Fine" rewards found in regular Crown Crates and (on rare occasions) the above mount and pet, Welkynd Ouroboros Crown Crates do not contain any other tiers of items.

that's all

From the article:

Note that beyond the typical “Common" and “Fine" rewards found in regular Crown Crates and (on rare occasions) the above mount and pet, Welkynd Ouroboros Crown Crates do not contain any other tiers of items.

So, the answer is no. Just consumables with a rare chance at the mount or pet.

Why in the hell is this only available for pc/mac players console players should get the same opportunity this is both dumb and a joke
