Twitch Drops event - No streamers eligible to run Twitch Drops.

This has been going on for multiple drops now. Frontier started running Twitch Drops which is great.. the issue is there's no streamers that are allowed to do drops so you can never get any of the drops. The official Frontier channel which is the only channel eligible streams once every 2 weeks for like an hour to two hours.. The event literally lasts only 2 weeks so most people never get the chance to get any of the drops.
 
I don't think this is a valid complaint..

They usually stream for 4 hours in a month, to pick up the purple pack you need 2 hours (IIRC), and if you miss it then you can do it again next month. The seasonal paintjobs seem to take 15 minutes now.

Maybe people can possibly complain about the stream being live while they sleep or have to work.. I suppose that's unfortunate but also understandable seeing that don't have the same time around the planet..

But I do wish that they'd stop explaining twitch drops on the stream, and just point to a FAQ explaining how it works.. :D
 
We just had Halloween event that allowed LIVE streamer partners to give away Exclusive paint jobs for watching in AM UK/GMT Time zones...

They also just this week announced that they will be giving away Youtube paint jobs codes to partner programs sign up and live streamers via those live streamer agreement announcements...

But as with the contract with Amazon/twitch it requires to be allowed to run the drops with the streamers partner program under the rules of twitch drops the drops have to be "exclusive" to twitch...
The get out clause to break that is Colours change mean there NOT then exclusive...

So Blue could be on Youtube
Red on twitch FDEV live stream..
Green on twitch partner live streams...

Yes the limited twitch users was as with every thing fdev do a small test...

The real application system is now live to allow both twitch and youtube to be flooded with give aways...
There are restrictions placed on how big and popular you are to qualify but many have allready got accepted which wont be exclusive to twitch..

All drops can be exclusive to twitch. All this means is that they dont run drops at the same time on other websites like youtube.
 
Not bothered any more about twitch drops.......or Frontier's stream for that matter.
4pm on Thursday's is the time I spend with my missus & friend in the Pub, so I don't watch the Stream anymore & rarely watch the recorded stream after...... so I ain't gonna get anymore drops🤣........it is what it is ;)
 
If you are a streamer/content creator but are bad at search you use the "influencer portal" to sign up...
You are meant to provide a sales pitch upload as well during that sign up to increase selection chances if you don't have one it reduces your chances...
Fdev are not really looking to waste codes so won’t be handed out to just any old loser using youtube... lol 👎
Also all Youtube user should now be using handles now... so like https://www.youtube.com/@graphitegb... makes finding them easier...

Its 15 mins for the single stream event drops...
Its over 90 mins for the Monthly items reward for turning up to BOTH live streams per month... if you never turned up for both streams any other month then yep Pink items require both streams per month...

You can get the longer duration ones by using a streamer (but see below)* - the two repaint drops specific to the stream were (as Graphic says) just 15 minutes. Also for the longer ones, they can be aggregated over a month, so if you are 77% to the 1h30m drops (like today) - you can fill up to 100% during their next stream. So far I have, for example, (AFAIR) 6 sets of purple paint jobs - shame I can only use one. LOL

* At the moment the "Purple Newcomer Bundle" does not appear to be an "active campaign" (finished at 18:00 today) - no doubt one of the CMs will rectify this by making a new campaign to restore that bundle when they notice it so that streamers can drop the goodies.


Lot of fuss about the square root of bu__er-all anyway. ;)


EDIT: Looks like the purple pack thingie is working again...

Theere's unfortunately no other streamers eligible to run the drops.
There will still be another 2 streams next month equalling way over 90 mins because there are 2 fdev streams each month for the same exact pink items they never change..
If you turn up at the start time you are created for when the time was set, not when the actual image changes to them. so its actualy 1 hour 22 mins long..

Then the first stream of the month gets 1 hour 22 min. The second of months stream would only require 8 mins of watching...
 
There will be another stream on the 1st of December, if it's long enough, watching it will be enough to get the entire purple pack.
 
Sorry to bring up this thread, but something's weird with "Elite Partner Program Festive Campaign 2022" drops.

Yesterday I watched a streamer from ED list and %s were going up. The stream ended, I switched to another one from the list and %s were stuck.
Also, there was no progress from any other streamer.
Today I tried from my work PC and I managed to get a few % from one streamer. But, after that one, %s were stuck when I switched to different one.
Relog didn't help.
They had a tag DropsEnabled and Drops in stream title.

So, I can watch only one ED partner per session to get drops % to rise, wait for my IP to change, clear cache or something else?
tnx
