"Watching on any of the three platforms will earn in-game rewards for all three game titles.
Start Time: November 13 at 10:00 am PST End Time: December 11 at 10:00 am PST Where to Watch: Twitch, YouTube, and TikTok"
So I missed the live stream and started watching it a few minutes ago. Accounts are linked. Don’t have an option under the player window to connect. But it says I have until Dec 11th to watch it, on any of the 3 streams. Is that a true statement or is it a dead deal for the Youtube version now?
On one hand I’m not sure. There will be other E-sports events coming up under the Warcraft channel, and other streamers under YouTube. I’m not sure how drops work under that site though, only Twitch.
I also want confirmation on this. I’m connected but no connect button under the playback on youtube. You guys need to either clarify this or fix whatever issue is happening.
The line directly above the part you quote says “watch on any Warcraft, Hearthstone, or Warcraft Rumble stream” which implies that it cannot be archived. Only Live channels qualify.
Kozzae has provided the next opportunity for YouTube users, whereas Twitch and TikTok users have the opportunity whenever.
Hmn. Swore I hit edit on the previous post, but I guess not.
This is what I figured to be the case.
But a stream is a stream, doesn’t have to be live, and the information given doesn’t specifically say “Live” stream.
I’m streaming music right now but it’s prerecorded.
While the semantics can be debated, all previous giveaways have had the requirement of active (live) streams. No reason given that this one would be any different.
Yeah, that’s just it.
I don’t do the 3 Ts (Twitch, Twitter or TikTok).
Call me old, or old-fashioned, but I have no use for them. If I miss a mount because that’s the only option, then so be it. I’ve had worse.
From piecing together other replies, I think it’s no longer possible to get the drop from Youtube. You needed to watch the initial Warcraft channel livestream there.
You can however get the drops from any Twitch streamer who has !drops enabled on their livestream and are streaming WoW content.
I might be wrong and if so, hopefully someone can clarify.
The YouTube option was solely during the live broadcast, hence the three options in the announcement article beforehand.
Now that it is after the fact, only Twitch and TikTok are available options. This can be seen in the editing of the original announcement article down to those two options.
Well thats unfortunate. Feels like if I wanted to get something I should be getting in the first place like previous items have been (6-month Sub freebies / 1 year sub freebies/ etc) but now Im being strong armed into going to another company and sign up with them, yield my data to yet someone else for them to profit off of, link it to my Blizz account, yielding even more data they can use and continue to aggregate. All just for something that should just be given out standard like all my previous redeemed in game mounts have been and all my previous HS packs have been redeemed.
Im aware there have been standalone freebies offered that werent tethered to anything special at all such as twitch streamers and free HS packs… I never once wanted to do all this hassle just for that as it wasnt anything special in game to go do so. But when the passage of time happens and the games give you freebies because time has happened… like the monthly resets in HS or when the wow sub renews I never had all these extra hoops involved with 3rd parties.
