Elite Dangerous

twitch drop scam
way to cut the stream short SO NOT 1 person could get final rewards..> ( against twitch tos btw for drop rules ) legit bait and switch barrier
the chat page is blowing up everyone between 95%-97%

you owe us all drops/skins


** you will find spelling errors. I cant spell for my life or use the right variation of certain words bear with me. ( at least it will be finished )

Following recent thoughts and feedback on the availability of our 'Purple Welcome Pack', Elite Dangerous Twitch Drops, collected for spending time watching our official Elite Dangerous livestreams live on Twitch, we have made the decision to make some alterations to the drop timings to allow viewers a more convenient timeframe of which to collect them, if the Community team should potentially have a short stream than usual.

The new drop cadence we are going to trial is as follows:

Ancestral Tattoo Pack + Purple Flight Suit: Dropped at 15 minutes of viewing time.
Explorer Name Plate Pack + Purple SRV & Fighters: Dropped at 20 mins of viewing time.
Passenger Name Plate Pack + Purple Weapon & Engine: Dropped at 30 mins of viewing time.
Wings Name Plate Pack + Vibrant Purple Paint-jobs: Dropped at 45 mins of viewing time.

total stream was 1:29:32


last two rewards required 1:30:00


typical mismanagement of time

sounds like a reason to boycott dlc scummy bait and not following through


its not like you give MULTIPLE DAYS to do it... or multiple streams....

you give 1 day....

1 stream...


and cant even commit to the FULL TIME

tbh this is a good way for them to loose their twitch drop rights.... like a few other games have.

mass amount of people are reporting them for fraud/scam in the twitch chat

im sure that will put a huge dent into their player retention for information once they can no longer offer rewards for watching.... can almost guarantee their watch numbers plummit

Over react much?

Looking at the last official stream on twitch from a couple of hours ago, it was 1:29:51 long. They finished a whole 9 seconds early... I highly doubt that was done intentionally to avoid giving away a few free cosmetics that aren't going to cost them anything anyway.

How is it a "scam"? It hasn't cost you anything... You've not lost anything (except maybe a bit of time if you actually sat at the PC and watched the stream).

It's also massively unlikely anyone who could do anything about it will see your comment here. You'd be better off sending a message to support.

(((( btw twitch drops take 5-10 seconds AFTER the stream starts to activate ))))

bait and switch for rewards based on time thier. to only have them not offer any way to infact GET those rewards is agaisnt twitch tos... its considered trapping....

time= money
viewership = money


twitch doesnt play with that

support got an email


as well as twitch getting like 100+ reports

this is how companies LOOOSE rights to use other featuers of sites

If that was true, you wouldn't be sat around watching a twitch stream.

You are most likely better off writing your complaints on either twitter or official forums.

i did message their support. ( prolly a lost cause ) but im sure twitch is more likely to do something with the messages sent to them ( form the bulk of people WHo WERE pissed in chat ) then the comapany themselves as this has a dire effect on them as well.

Talk about the proverbial mountain/mole hill...

Not here to argue, just think it's funny that you're screaming "scam" instead of just waiting for support to get back to your email. They're usually pretty good at fixing minor issues like this.

And "kid"? Ha. Cheers... Though I should probably point out: I'm an old git.

I got both. They overlap, you know? So if it's 30 mins and 60 mins, 60 mins will get you both.

And btw next stream this month will still count towards the time. It only resets at the end of the month.

the last two rewards... were 1 hour and 30 mins

if the total stream was 1;29;00 its LEGIT impossible for you two have gotten the last 2 rewards... ALL THE REWARDS Were gaining time at the same time

they were not set on a level to unlock the one before the next......

I've been collecting drops from Elite Dangerous since Odyssey launched. I'm well aware how it works.

Also the purple newcomer bundle repeats every single month.

Maybe they didn't change the end date? It's normally monthly, and I picked up all the beginner stuff yet again 14 days ago.

the event was from the 26th to the 9th....

they streamed 1 day....

today......

their steam from 14 days ago... was 1 day BEFORE they activated teh drops ( that day they did a full 1:40:00 so rewards were possible that month ( for the 1 steam that month *COUGH* )

and didnt even do the full amount required to obtain all the drops this go around


its scummy no matter HOW OFTEN THEY DO IT or how you look at it

the fact tehy did have rewards SET UP and didnt honor the time for them


IS WHY TWITCH TAKES THOSE RIGHTS AWAY

progress is not set to continue on their next set of drops...

it will be a whole new list of x timers to get

now the winter set was no issue
Winter - February 2023

those were 15 min timers
