Official Discussion Thread for "ESO Stream Team & Current Twitch Drops Schedule"

ZOS_GinaBruno

This is the official discussion thread for the blog article ESO Stream Team & Current Twitch Drops Schedule. We’re thrilled to officially unveil the current members of the ESO Stream Team. Check out this article for all the details on the program and when you can earn Twitch Drops just by watching some of your favorite streamers. Moving forward, we'll be publishing a bi-weekly Twitch Drops schedule so you know exactly when they're enabled, for which channels, and when you can expect to receive your Drops.

I dont understand things like these.

"Hey! How about you dont play the game and instead watch someone else play it! And we will reward you for doing so! Yay!"

My experience with this is that the twitch streams will just overflow with people wanting their drops and then leave as soon as they got it.

Dracane

The absence of one particular name on this list made me laugh
Anyways. Thanks alot for this list I had missed all the recent Twitch Drops.

Runs

This is awesome. Thank you for doing this.

I prefer to play the game by myself, instead of watching someone else playing it... Boooring.

You don’t have to watch. The stream can be running in the background iirc.

Turelus

Congrats to all on the list, some well known names who put a lot of love and effort into their ESO streams on there.

Not a big stream watcher myself but will try and watch some more.

One question is the section about earning crates says

Want to get your hands on some Twitch Drops? You can watch your favorite ESO streamer AND earn some in-game loot by checking out any of the below channels.

So this is just the names which follow on set days or anyone, as "your favourite streamer" could read as any streamer to me.

Aeslief

Thank you for clearing up some of the mysterious nature of drops and when/with whom they are available. This schedule is very helpful.

Halke

As a streamer this breaks my heart. Having them only on specific channels hits a big way I was getting people in when drops were live. I understand the move but it still makes me sad.

VaranisArano

I continue to be amused by the idea of being rewarded for watching someone else play the game rather than just playing it myself.

(I also think that incentivizing current players to have the streams running in the background rather than actually watching is a snazzy way to inflate views without actually attracting a whole lot of new viewers.)

bo_n_sai

Way to hurt every streamer that isn't a social or pvp streamer

VaranisArano

Any progress on getting Twitch drops made available for console users?

It depends @Turelus and that's why it's nice to get these articles. Sometimes twitch drops are only on for specific streamers as part of a special event (like the ones listed in the article). Other times, twitch drops are turned on for all ESO Stream Team streamers (everone in the big list) and other times, drops are turned on for anyone at all who is streaming ESO.

The bi-weekly articles should be helpful in knowing what's happening now, as to who drops are coming from at certain times.

I used to think the same thing until I actually sat and watched some twitch, way back during the ESO stream weekend that happened way back during first year. Why would I want to watch when I play?

Turns out I watch while playing. I watch when I can't play, turn it on for background noise just like many folks do with TV. Or interact with the streamer and their chat.

pareidolon

This is cool, congrats to all the players who were chosen for this event!

Could we please clarify a couple things about Twitch drops? When I sat down at my PC and watched a full ESO Live, I was awarded 4 crates. I rarely have the opportunity to do this though, so I tried streaming to my phone a couple weeks later. It used up just about all my high-speed data for the month (don't worry, I'll get by) and I was awarded just 2 crates. I'm not sure if this was because I had to reload a couple times. Are we able to get drops with audio only or chat only settings when we're away from home?

Most use it for white noise or just someone friendly to interact with between loading screens

Wooo, fengrush is on there

Guys, you can leave the twitch stream running on the background nearly muted and get free stuff while playing the game

The ESO streamers I tend to watch aren't even on the list. Looking through the list, I am hard pressed to find ones that I have actually watched, and those I have, rarely more than once. Not that I watch them for drops, though.

Is the technology just not yet available for console Twitch drops or are there other companies that do it? I wonder, but haven't looked it up. I'll continue watching ESO Live regardless because Gina, you're hilarious. Can you have more loremaster Schick please? He's my favorite guest

I just assume they'll do it as soon as they possibly can, but don't know when that might be. They did say on the last ESO Live that they're still looking into it

Ankael07

Is there a limit on how many times we can get the drops in a day?

xb1LL_mr_sir_LL

show the console peasants some love. our money is just as green. without us lowly console people this game would've been
a financial flop. many instances of the consoles being overlooked. i realize it's easier to do things for pc people,
but how about moving forward do stuff with all "paying customers" or none at all.

Yea i know, but then... whats the point

Will i start playing the game more or buy more stuff if i see others playing the game?
Or do they want higher viewing numbers on the streams so that non-eso-players will start watching it too and get intrested in playing themselves?
Im just confused why so many developers are pushing streaming so hard.

Boollet

It turns out now, drops will only be "elected"? Then the question...How to get into this team? What about the Russian-speaking community? Where to apply or do you decide who is worthy?

CatchMeTrolling

Why isn’t Jack Daniels on this list

Fake Remedy

Can we get an idea on what specific content your Team members stream? Too many people on eso twitch streaming the same generic content.

jwjackson5674

Dumb question, if were on PC NA, do we have to watch PC NA streamers? Or can we watch PC EU?

jvachez

Hello ! There a big problem with the streamer Yogscast ! He is streaming Minecraft instead TESO !

StormChaser3000

Yep, looks like there was a miscommunication. It was scheduled but is not happening today.

BoloBoffin

Yep, coming to report the miscommunication on Yogscast streaming too. They are currently playing DnD live with 30 minutes left of "ESO streaming" time.

I did notice last week they did ESO on a Tuesday and people were upset with them because WoW had also dropped some big content. So Yogscast isn't the best when it comes to adhering to a schedule.
