Okay sorry in advance if i seems like I'm complaining, yes I'm complaining a bit but I feel like they need to redo the drop rates. Also I'm sorry if this is in the wrong category feel free to move me if you need to.

I'm curious how long other people watch the Twitch streams to get their crates. Please post how long you've watched for each day (a day is from 10 am est of day 1 to 10 am est of day 2 and repeats) and than how many crates you received for the day. Try to only post your info for the current drop schedule for the Summerfall event which is from September 20th to October 2nd.

    For day one 9/20-9/21: I watched for 12-13 hours on a Twitch Stream Member (can't remember exactly what time I started but I know for sure it was 12 hours but I think it was closer to 13). Crates received = ZERO

    Yes my account is linked

    You've got to be watching for at least 10 mins to have a chance for a crate :smile:

    So do I. I don't understand why people who like the game enough to watch someone play, watch someone else play instead of playing themselves.

    If it's to learn with the streamer, then that's fair. I also noticed some streamers make one heck of a comedy show and it definitely has its appeal. But when they're just playing.... meh.

    Me? I just open 4 or 5 tabs on streams, mute, set to lowest quality and let it sit in the back. I got one crate since yesterday. And I suspect it was from today's streams because it was not there when I first logged in, only popped up later. But hey, it's free stuff so I'm not complaining.

    According to the article you need to watch for 10 minutes and have a chance for one per day.

    Twitch is bugged for me and status keeps setting to "away" every few minutes for no reason and then a delay in going back to "online"....

    No response from twitch support and streamers no idea on how to fix it even though many people have this status auto set to away bug problem....

    Used to have a chance on each streamer you watched. Yesterday I watched 9, today got one crate from that. Today I watched 8 but missed the official one, will see what tomorrow gives. But I believe I will only get one, if.

    Kind of guessing when Gina mentioned you only had to watch for 10 minutes to have a chance, people started twitch hoping and the number given out increased great enough to decide a limit of one was needed. Of course just pure speculation though.

    Watch for 10 minutes. No need to chat. No need to spend 10 hours. You either get it after 10 minutes or you don't. You often won't even know until the next day. The limit is one per day for standard streams. ESO live streams and other special events can break that rule.

    Make sure your twitches are not muted INSIDE the browser as that can make it not count, If you wanna mute do it from your computers sound or just turn it down so much its almost muted..

    1 crate out of 3 days here. On linked account. So my normal sucky rng holds true there too.

    You are not the only one. While I received one today, yesterday I received zero. I'll see what tomorrow brings.

    Prior to this week, three crates are more typical for me. Perhaps there is a drop rate difference during this week?

    It's RNG you know. It clearly states you have a chance of getting one. There's no guarantee. It's been mentioned ever since they began giving out these crates.

    You simply have to watch for a min of 10 mins with the sound on for a 'chance' of getting a crate. Doesn't guarantee you one at all. You could watch 20 streams and still get nothing. Tis all RNG.

    Twitch drops have been nerfed.
    No more 2-3 drops every day.
    Get lucky to have 1 drop every second day.

    No matter how many time do you watch.

    I don't watch twitch anymore. It streams somewhere at background.

    ZOS wanted to lower drops - they get lower attention

    I rarely ever go on. I sometimes watch clips from certain individuals to learn from them but I don't just sit there streaming for hours.

    Xbox NA-
    I watched on two drop days, and got a notification on twitch that I earned a drop on both days and nothing came.

    I watched on a different day and I got 5 unnamed Crates that looked like very basic non buffed crates (cartoonish) with a big ESO symbol on them gray spinning. When the cards were layed down they had none of the colors underneath like blue purple gold, no lights at all. Thry were all just poisons and soulgems and nothing at all that seemed it had any drops other than the basic poisons and gems. It was glitched it seemed like.

    I reported this in bugs and no answer.

    That's what Twitch drops are. They are just crates with consumables. I got a gold card in one once. It was a pointless scroll. On some rare occasions you may get the glowy red senche cub or the glowy red senche mount. But that's one in a million. Twitch drops are good to farm some gems, nothing else.

    it seems like the more poeple watch, the lower the chance is of actualy getting one. I stream on lowest quality to not kill my bandwith, for multiple ESO/twitch accounts. some days I get a single crate for entire day of watching... but on 2 out of 3 accounts :/

    10 minutes, you might as well not stream at all, except when its an official "crate guaranteed for watching" bethesda stream.
