I've been watching the stream since the beginning, but because there is a little bit of lag with the reward and restarting the credit count for the next crate, it is impossible to get all 4 within the 2-hour timeframe, because each crate effectively takes just a couple of minutes longer than 30 and the credit stopped at 7 PM sharp rather than when the stream actually stopped.
This means that people are left with an almost-completed 4th crate.
My understanding was that there would be a max of 3 crates. This was from watching an ESO streamer on Twitch earlier this morning. She explained how it was going to work, and it worked exactly like she'd said. Where did the idea that there was supposed to be a 4th crate come from?
EDIT: The way the streamer had explained it, the times would have been as follows, assuming you claimed each drop instantly:
5:00 - Start watching
5:15 - 1st drop, pet
5:45 - 2nd drop, crate 1
6:15 - 3rd drop, crate 2
6:45 - 4th drop, crate 3
In other words, the timer for earning each new drop didn't begin until you claimed the previous drop.

I received my crates as follows:
5:10pm - frog
5:31pm - first crate
6:01pm - second
6:31pm - third
7:01pm - nothing
7:31pm - nothing ... and the stream was still live at that time.
I mean, 3 crates is better than nothing, but when you have Gina stating in the stream that they are just going to let the crates go out like crazy, you don't assume there is going to be a cap on them, or that they'll turn off the drop before they are even done the stream.
What they did was run a 2 hour twitch drop campaign so unless you claimed instantly after crate drop every 30 minutes (practically impossible) you would miss out on the last crate. Really amateur - should've run it with some buffer time so people can claim it.
Crate drop wouldn't start unless the previous crate was claimed! This wasn't explained well, and the whole drop system seems to be bugged on mobile.

Drop progress then froze at 73% for me and stuck there for a good half hour.
Good idea, very poor implementation.

Can anyone confirm if that was, indeed, the case?
