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 !!

    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...

    Same here.

    I have watched for 8 hours already, I got the drops (2x Crates + Ghost Cat / 2x Crates + Grim Reaper).

    Do I need now to watch for further 8 hours to unlock the horse?

    I am really confused.

    Same, although I have watched and claimed the ghostly cat and grim harvester ( that I already had ) watching a ESO streamer for the new horse today shows progress on the 4 hour cat and the rest are locked out.

    Clearly not intended if you have a rational mind.

    Yeah, I am in the same situation as yourself... I already have the pet and the costume too.

    I don't know if is the language barrier or I am just a bit on the dim side but I don't understand how this works.

    People who did previous weeks still have to progress through the cat and costume first, which is ridiculous. 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.

    Wow, thank you so much for the explanation. What a terrible implementation though... Way too much time and work for some drops, and this isn't properly explained anywhere either. And no chance of it getting fixed in the little time we have left this week.

    We did not have to watch 4 hours for the cat twice before claiming the costume, the costume timer started on the day part 2 of the stream event began. It is inconsistent with the timers for part 3 and from the initial posts for the event it implied that part 3 would allow you to "not miss out" of the first 1 or 2 rewards if you didn't have the time during parts 1 and 2 - you were able to gain all 3 rewards if necessary in part 3.

    Promotional events like this should be more "carrot", less "stick" to be effective.

    I'm still confused, so, if we already earned the cat and costume last week, to get the horse, do we have to watch 8 hours more or (4 + 6 + 8 hours) 18 hours more? I feel like it HAS to be the former, the latter sounds 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 just discovered this too- you can't let it just run from one drop to the next, you have to make sure you click on the first reward at the two hour mark for next drop timer to start.

    In 2 MORE hours we'll start earning the drops we don't already have.

    Bunkum!

    When the watch time demands are ridiculous, I just tune out. I just leave it running in the background on a volume too low to hear but not 0, never failed to get a drop. I actually tend to watch the shorter programming, but I'm not sitting there for 8 hours.

    I'm a little irritated. I bought grim harvester when it came out and now I've had to earn it two times extra (which does nothing for me not even gems like crate repeats). What was the purpose of participating in the last two weeks of drops when I have to earn the same items again to get the horse? I appreciate the free things, but this is kinda annoying.

    __________________________Backstories:_________________________

    Ras Kalik the Vestige, a renown Redguard warrior; He has been blessed to save Tamriel from Molag Bal’s destructive Planemeld while reuniting the Five Companions. His further accomplishments after defeating Molag Bal, has been to stop the destruction of Morrowind, the Clockwork City, return order to the isle of Summerset and create a new king in Wrothgar and a queen in Elsywer. These events have made him a living legend and continue to lead him into new adventures throughout Tamriel, as well as into the hearts of many ladies including the Elf Queen, Aryenn. Over many years of adventurous travels, Ras Kalik had become a loner, until he re-visited his homeland of Alik'r.

    Alik'r and it's cities were overrun by the undead Ra-Netu and therefore he made an allegiance with Alik'r's own Ash'abah tribe. These Ash'abah with his help, cleansed the city of Sentinel in Alik'r desert and it's surrounding areas of the undead brought to life by the Withered Hand. After rescuing Sentinel from the undead zombies, King Fahara’jad’s personal bodyguard the Goliath of Hammerfell, who was given this name by Imperials in the region; was asked to assist the tribe after learning of the defeat of the Withered Hand to the Ash'abah. Kalik promised Goliath he would task him with fighting living enemies on the battlefield if he so desired. Goliath being a Yokudan warrior wields a massive sword in respect to the Ansei, a gift given by the Imperial, Cinan Tharn. Not many soldiers are able to wield double two handed weapons, but Goliath loves to get up and personal in a fight, so he also carries a giant maul, both weapons laced with magical flames.

    Jux Blackheart is a master thief that masquerades as a Bard at the Sisters of the Sands inn, with his younger sidekick Lucky Hunch for pilfering and gambling during this time. Jux was known to infiltrate any towns bank vault he came across and even delved into Ayelid ruins without detection. Kalik can vividly recall the night he met the famed thief. Jux found himself rummaging thru a slightly inebriated Kalik’s pocket for too long, on a full-mooned night and because of his greed and the glimmer of his golden armor in the moonlight. He lost his left pinky fingertip as a lesson! But in return, he gained a new friend, as it was his first time since a child being caught red-handed...

    Upon arrival back in the Alik'r after many moons of adventuring, Ras Kalik ventures to Bergama. Visiting The Winking Jackal, he runs into Jux Blackheart, who introduces him to the coin game Crowns vs Forebearers (Heads vs Tails) and Golden Dwemer (RBG).... Jux constantly takes gold from the unfortunate thru theft or gambling, his biggest gambling victim is actually his partner in crime known as Lucky Hunch the Gambler. Lucky doesn't mind losing any gold coins to Jux... as Jux saved him from Altmer slavers in Summerset, by stealing a key and sending him on a boat to the mainland years prior. Lucky spent years in slavery with Khajiits in Summerset and picked up the art of subterfuge, using illusion magic disguises and stealing there.

    Kaotik Von’Daemon an outcast, and a half-caste between a Breton mother and a Redguard father. Kaotik become a pariah due to his conjuration of Daedra pets. He was taught healing magic during his childhood years by his Breton mother. His father due to Redguard customs exiled him from the desert, sending him by wagon caravan to be a soldier in the war in Cyrodiil. He happened to meet Kalik while traveling from Alik'r, during this long caravan ride the caravan he was in was ambushed in Bangkorai by a group of bandits. Kalik by chance was also traveling thru this area on his Auridon Warhorse (which was bestowed to him by his friend, Darien Gautier). During this ambush, Kalik was able to rescue five hostages from the bandits. Kaotik was the first rescued, and Ras Kalik also recruited him to be in the Ash'abah tribe. These core Ash'abah tribesmen may never be seen together in travel as they partake in their own adventures but they always know what each other is doing; as they frequent a hideout in northern Bankorai. Their hideout an old Orc castle ruin, is kept watch by Nuzhimeh and she passes messages written between them, and frequently they also enjoy her company and her bed.

    The other men rescued were a Dunmer banker, an Imperial mercenary and two other soldiers, an Imperial and a Breton Knight, stating proudly he was an Akavir descendent. One of the Imperials, Cinan, claimed to be related to Abnur Tharn the Battlemage of the Imperial Elder Council (One of Ras Kalik's mentors in the Five Companions). Cinan Tharn was really Abnur's drunkard treasure hunting illegitimate son. He was caught smuggling artifacts out of the Ayleid ruins in Cyrodiil and the elder of the two Imperials was Tyrus Septim a retired Imperial navy battle-mage (now a Lycan mercenary living in the city of Rimmen) and guard to the Tharn family. As much as Abnur Tharn hated his half-sister Euraxia, he dislikes his bas†ard son Cinan more. Tyrus now a ruffian and privateer had been paid by Abnur Tharn to watch over Cinan as much as possible. Cinan Tharn a drunkard, loves to drink at least a quarter barrel of Nord mead before he raids various delves and dungeons for relics to sell on the black market. Cinan also plans to one day, run an illegal gambling ring... which he thinks will net him more gold for his wares.

    The Dunmer captive shackled to the Imperials looked familiar to Kalik from his time in Morrowind.... and he recognized him as Tythis Andromo a House Telvanni slave-owner and banker from Vvardenfell. During a rough interrogation to Tythis, Ras Kalik learnt why the bandits accosted him. The racist Dunmer was providing slaves as soldiers for the Three Banner War. The bandits were trying to negotiate a lucrative ransom for Andromo and the Imperials.... Kalik did not need any of this gold and he could never set Tythis free as he did with the two Imperial soldiers. His past involvement with slavery and war crimes, made Kalik's blood boil. He chose not to execute Tythis, as he figured the worse punishment for this former rich and opulent slave owner, is to now be an imprisoned servant for Ras Kalik and the tribe.

    Herzog Zwei the Genesis a reknown Imperial/Akavirri battle-mage. His roots going back to Akavir through his mother’s bloodline. (His mother is descended from the Akaviri, through Versidue-Shae, and his Imperial father met her in Hakoshae, while traveling) Herzog earned the nickname "the Genesis" from his father as a child, as he was his mother's first born child, and last, as she tragically died in child-birth.

    Herzog was seeking to purchase an artifact from Cinan Tharn, before their capture and was meeting Tyrus while in Rimmen, who introduced him to Cinan. This artifact being the Ayelid artifact; the sword Sinweaver. After their rescue and the exchange of gold to Cinan for the sword he decided to slip away before Ras Kalik could question who he was, and why the Akavir descendant really wanted that sword. Herzog was headed to Nagastani — An Ayleid ruin in eastern Cyrodiil. He had read in scrolls that the Sword would give him magical powers to meet his mothers spirit, if he performed an Ayleid ritual at an old shrine hidden there. Equipped with the artifact sword, he was off to start his own adventure but Ras Kalik, did indeed notice the sword however and instead sent a letter to Jux Blackheart (whom also was interested in Ayleid treasures), to attempt to find Herzog and acquire the sword. (*Azani Blackheart in Elder Scroll's Oblivion is Jux's descendant some 747 years later)

    And so the Redguard, Imperial and Akaviri men parted ways ... While Ras Kalik went off to Elsweyr to encounter the latest threat to Tamriel, with Abnur Tharn and Sai Sahan - - DRAGONS!! Little did Ras Kalik know a few people were awaiting him in Senchal besides Sai. A necromancer survived his attack on the Withered Hand, while in Alik'r. The necromancer known as Auriek Siet'ka is also following him to the land of the Khajiits and Cacique the Sage of Ius a Shaman mystic who has become attuned spiritually with Tu'whacca (a Redguard God) and Ius (the Animal God), after being burned severely by the escaped dragons in Elsywer, is awaiting his arrival also. Aurik is a soldier of the Daggerfall Covenant that was introduced to necromancy while in the military, even though this magicka art is not spoken of openly by most of the Military leaders. He came to Alik'r and worked with the Withered Hand before Ras Kalik intervened on their plans. After the defeat of the Withered Hand, he aligned with the Worm Cult, and is constantly adapting and perfecting his necromantic arts.

    After his journey to Rimmen, Kalik heads south to Senchal, in the southern regions of Elyswer. This new adventure will also put him on a path to meet a strange Redguard man. The stranger which was infected with an untreated Peyrite disease and also was the exiled from the Order of the New Moon cult, due to his sickness. He originally joined the cult to worship Laatvulon, the green dragon, mistakenly thinking it was the Daedric prince Peyrite. This confused and suffering cultist is known as Tsar al-Bomba and he is on a path to spread the disease. He was originally infected in Orccrest while recruiting members there. Can Ras Kalik and the shaman Cacique cure this poor soul, only time will tell. Little does Tsar al-Bomba know, that his infection is tied to Vampirism, and eventually the desire for blood will take over his mind. Senchal also offers Kalik his latest love interest... Aeliah. Whom he fondly led thru battles with the Dragonguard.

    After the trek thru the heat, tropical and desert climate of Northern and Southern Elyswer, Ras Kalik heads north to the cold mountain range of Skyrim. His companion friend Lyris beckons for him with a letter sent by crow...

    Movárth Piquine - a former vampire hunter (now infected), within the Fighter's Guild (and a secretive necromancer) was in Skyrim working with the Morthaal Guard. On a patrol mission he was caught in Frewien's ice curse outside of Morthaal with the frozen undead. Movárth's vampiric infection kept him from becoming an undead minion to the curse. He was able to use necromantic ice-magic to encase himself safely until he was freed with Freiwen, when the Vestige Ras Kalik broke the curse.

    Uri Ice-Heart - brother of Urfon Ice-Heart. The twin sons of Atli and Oljourn Ice-Heart. The Ice-Heart family are originally from Markarth but now reside on the Jerall Mountain range near Cyrodiil, with their younger sister Araki. The twins had joined the Winterborn Reachmen while living in Markarth. Urfon pushed west to Orsinium with the Winterborn Clan, leaving his family behind. Uri stayed behind with his parents and sister to live in the family cabin for safety, avoiding the Vampire plague infiltrating the Reach. After news reaches him and he hears of Urfon's death... Uri leaves and heads home and is seeking vengeance. Meanwhile, his sister has also moved on to Windhelm to join the Fighter's guild. He will visit his sister, once before going to seek vengeance and she will craft him armor mixed with ice, called Stalhrim armor. Uri fearing death, after his brother's passing, falls victim to the convincing talk of Movárth at a Nordic tavern, and will also becomes a vampire.

    You have 10days for it. Progress carries over from one streamer to the next. Still, it's a bit much to ask and definitely defeats the purpose of having this type of promotion at all if most people need to leave it running in the background while they do other things.

    Week1: 4 hours for cat and 2 crates (then click claim)
    Week2: 4 hours for costume and 2 crates (then click claim)
    Week3: 8 hours total: 4 hours for cat (then click claim)+ 2more hours for costume (then click claim) +2 more hours for horse and 2 crates (then click claim)

    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.

    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.

    It really isn't well done. So I have to watch 2 hours for a cat I have had for a while and then 2 more for a costume that I also already had and then 4 hours for a horse that I don't have.

    [snip] So noping out of this one since based on this experience, the horse will be reused eventually.

    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!! :(

    That's not how it works. You need to watch for 4 hours to get the cat again, after you've claimed the cat again, you have to watch another 2 hours for the costume and claim that again, and only then will the 2 hours for the horse start (making it a total of 8 hours.

    Yeah, that's why I said "some" was twitch's fault. ZOS absolutely had other options within twitch's constraints.

    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.

    ZOS's intentions were clearly: a) let people catch up on cat and costume and b) make people watch 8 hours for horse.
    Certainly you can criticize the above but that is what they wanted to do and it's separate from the process being annoying or tedious.

    Changing the order to make the horse earnable in 4 hours is not what they wanted to do.
    Making it one big 8 hour multi-drop campaign would have been less confusing, but in general is considered unfriendly because 8 hours is a lot, and psychology dictates that having markers along the way helps "engagement." Personally, if I was set on doing things the way ZOS did, would have put one crate in the first 4 hour block and one in the first 2 hour block, so every block has something new for everyone.

    The choices ZOS makes are certainly open to criticism. The lack of clarity in twitch's interface displaying how those decisions work is, as far as I can tell, twitch's fault. Many (not all) of the complaints I've seen are about lack of clarity about how it works and what you have to do and how much time the whole thing will take.

    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.
    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.
