Twitch Drops Cargo Breach

[Speedcuffs]

One other question... Can the link be used by multiple accounts?

Oof! Good point.
Don't wanna set it up for my PS4 account by accident!

 

[Straha Yeagar]

is this something you have to do on the tweeters or is it on the instantbooks?

 

[stormyuk]

Is this for PC only?

Not sure how we are going to link console accounts?

On other Twitch drops this is set up prior to watching a stream via the game vendors site. For example if I want my PS4 account to get the drops and not my PC login not quite clear on that.

The instructions as they stand look a bit vague. I can see lots of 'Where are my drops?' posts coming

Hopefully there will be some clarification.

To the folks who are already posting here about their willful ignorance (the "what is this I don't know I don't want to know" attitude), or complaining about creating an account on a new-to-you-service-that's-existed-for-9-years... um... welcome to 2020 I guess? This is how the online world has been for a long time. It's not scary. =)

Thanks for that. Made me laugh

But no, this is not an acceptable scheme. Or are you suggesting that if a service (that I do not use) exist for x years I should get an account anyways? So next there will be a dual engineered scb for Twitch drops.. What is that? P2W? How about Prime Drops then?

No, it's on the MySpaces

Greetings Commanders,


We're delighted to announce that Twitch Drops are coming to select Elite Dangerous streams! During these streams, you will be able to earn drops just by watching!

That's a LOT of purple. Psyche put you up to this, didn't she?

 

[SummonerCraft]

Will be there!

Serious question. What's a "twitch drop?"

Prince fans by chance?

Hard not to be a fan

What if we already own the purple beams and thruster colours? What then?

Then people on the forums who own purple beams and thruster will come to forums and whine relentlessly until FDEV capitulates and gives them another colour, which will then mean those who bought that other colour will relentlessly whine about it until every ship cosmetic is given away free.

frontier, you can watch my shiny metal asp for hours and you will still get nothing.

So how does one link the accounts between Twitch and FDev? My Epic CMDR needs some color on his ships.

 

[Patrick_68000]

I like them.

 

[Winterwalker]

NICE. So if I say, "I got it in a twitch drop," will I be down with the kids??

Once you reach the required time for a drop, you will then need to follow the URL, link your Frontier account to your Twitch account, and then claim your reward.

My Literacy Module doesn't have the ReadingComp special effect engineered yet.

Cheers, CMDR @Speedcuffs

I don't understand any of this because I am old.

I've no idea either - I assume Twitch drops are like pear drops but purple and twitchier.

 

[Dash]

Meh, if it's free then I'm sure I can load up a muted tab somewhere and burn some bandwidth.

Looks like I'll be recoloring my HUD again... Not that I'm really complaining. lol
