    Not that big of a deal considering you would need to purchase an ESO related product through Twitch to receive a crate

    I already play 8 hrs a day. No way I’m gonna start watching eso on twitch for a “chance” to “win” a specific crown crate. No thanks.

    If they really feel this is going to boost their twitch viewers, and have people buy crowns through twitch, I’m sorry but I believe they’re sadly mistaken.

    Also, only making these “winnable” isn’t helping. People should get 1 for each stream at least.

    The whole concept is just ridiculous.

    Well looks like I won't be opening any of these. I do not have a twitch account as i choose to spend my limited free time actually playing games instead of watching others play them.

    Edit: for the record I'm not actually bothered that they are twitch exclusive. I would've gotten a bunch of meals and soulgems anyways. This was simply a matter-of-fact statement.

    Do they not understand that a lot of us work so are free time is used on playing their game and not on setting up a twitch account and watching it , I do wonder about some of the decisions made on this game

    This is going to be one of those things where folks whine about it on the forums but run to link their accounts anyway.

    I watch the ESO channel anyway so...I lose nothing by linking my account even if it is RNG.

    Well, you can scratch me off that list of people who will link their account anyway.

    I'm not gonna make an account just to play another RNG game.

    That's really special...still my point stands, working in Social media I know what works...this will be a success for them.

    Fantastic, another thing console can't participate in. I would have done it, but I can't join in even if I wanted to.

    From what I have heard from a friend that streams ESO console is coming this fall.

    As a Twitch regular I like the sound of this. Plus at the end of the day it’s just cosmetics.

    Open a stream in a browser tab, mute the browser tab (not the stream), it thinks you're watching, go about your day playing ESO.
    Unless some how this doesn't work?

    Sadly cosmetics are a big part of what people enjoy about games and more and more of them are being moved to requiring money or doing tasks which are not actually playing the game. :tongue:

    Oh look, ZOS creating some glowy, neon-red uber rare senche mount, and making it only available from off-game promotion activity and purchases through third party websites.

    How utterly .... unsurprising.

    I have to ask @Turelus and no offense...but is crying about the business model incessantly like a prerequisite of being a Community Ambassador? I ask because it seems to me like that is yours and Santies MO (Well that and death threats in game by paws members for the high crime of riding a Legendary apex mount) Not trying to be inflammatory here...it's a serious question, because Ambassador means representative....and very little you say represents me or anyone in my guild for that matter.

    Pretty sure there wasnt an option to link your twitch account till now.

    Twitch Drops is nothing new and have been happening for a while with many other companies and games.

    so... you want me? the user. to go off onto another site, to watch someone else play the game instead of contributing to the games current population and not participate in the game or possibly using the crown store so i can go watch twitch... for free stuff...?
    do you not see the problem with that?
    if someone dedicates more time to free stuff from twitch they arent playing the game, lowering the amount of people currently playing and risking selling crowns to said players because why play if you want us to watch?
    PLEASE REPLY TO ME WITH @dsalter otherwise i'm likely to miss the reply if its not my own thread

    Just stream it on your phone, mute it, and then pretend it's not there. Essentially free crates

    I don't mind the ones that actually do it right when you just need to login once to click yes, but the ones that make you literally watch it 24/7 no thanks.
