Don't quite understand how it works either. The announcement does say what you quoted. Yet I got the Grim Harvester costume first, very shortly after (a few minutes) I got the 2 Crates. Now my progress shows that I am earning the pet. And... the horse is just locked.
I watched for 8 hours already. I'm worried that my drops broke, because hovering over the horse shows "claim the previous reward to start earning progress toward this one", but the costume and crates are still grayed out, despite being claimed. We'll see if it changes once I get the pet...

I already have the pet and costume from the previous 2 weeks .. right now just the pet is showing progress for this week .. but I can't earn it again ..

They should have made those the last reward earned so people who already earned them, or don't want them, didn't have to earn them (again) to get the horse. In order for you to begin process on the next item, you also have to claim the old one first. So back out of the stream after four hours and clear out your drop inventory of any "claim now" prompts before continuing to watch 2 more hours for the costume. Repeat that process to get the horse. If done correctly, it will take you 8 hours this week to get the horse. The rewards from last week don't count for this week. Again, ridiculous.

Yes. 8 hours more. I agree it is ridiculous.
my 4 hour cat completed, but I had to claim the reward before the next one started .. but its only saying % of 2 hours (instead of 6 hours) .. so it looks like it'll work .. but having to claim in between is wierd ..
Yeah after watching way more twitch than I wanted to I have decided that it isn't worth it.
Drops from now on will be a hard pass for me

Yes. 8 hours more. I agree it is ridiculous.
How is it even possible for the average person to watch 8 hours?
Or can I like log in to a stream then go to work or something? It's just not possible otherwise.

I think it's nice that they gave a makeup chance for those who missed the first 2 weeks, but it is a confusing way to set things up, though in fairness some of that is twitch's fault.
So the twitch drops for this week say:
This week, tune into the streamers listed above or any other ESO streams (check out the Twitch ESO category to see them all) between June 16 and June 26 for four hours, and you’ll receive the Ghostly Housecat pet. Stick around for six hours and you’ll find a haunting Grim Harvester costume awaiting you in your Twitch Drops! If you watch eight hours total of ESO streams, you will be awarded with the majestic Sungold Bay Thoroughbred mount and two Ouroboros Crown Crates!
So I am watching but only first one (pet) is assumulating .. I hope we don't have to watch 18 hours total to get the last two !!

Yes, I watched 11 hours in total, and it gave me the Ghost cat pet, which I already got at the start of the month!! So that was futile, because now it wants me to watch 9 hours again to get the costume, and for me, only the awesome horse mount is missing!!

Yeah, that's why I said "some" was twitch's fault. ZOS absolutely had other options within twitch's constraints.spartaxoxo wrote: »PeacefulAnarchy wrote: »Week1: 4 hours for cat and 2 crates (then click claim)

Even if ZOS was forced to do one at a time, they easily could have made the horse the first four hour drop.

ZOS's intentions were clearly: a) let people catch up on cat and costume and b) make people watch 8 hours for horse.spartaxoxo wrote: »PeacefulAnarchy wrote: »Yeah, that's why I said "some" was twitch's fault.

I don't think any of the blame is Twitch's when they made it so easy not to make things work this way. They could have done a multi-drop campaign or they could have stuck with the single drop and just ordered the release order in a way that was fair. They had two options to do this in a way that made it player friendly, and instead they chose to not take them. That's entirely on them.
I tried doing a few minutes of various other multi part campaigns going on twitch right now and their timers are all setup the same way ESO is. Not saying the other way isn't still possible, I don't know twitch's backend, but parting out the campaign and not showing the overall progress is common for some reason.PeacefulAnarchy wrote: »Week1: 4 hours for cat and 2 crates (then click claim)

Unless they changed things from how it used to be, none of it is twitch's fault. They already had campaigns set up that allowed you to earn progress towards multiple things at the same time (one crate taking 30min, a second one taking 1h, both gaining progress simultaneously). The blame lies solely with ZOS.
