For those of you who want to add Tyrande to your collection, it’s easy to get started! Twitch has added a brand new subscription service, called Twitch Prime. If you are eligible for Amazon Prime, you can link your Twitch Prime account to your Amazon Prime account. You too can harness the Light of Elune as well as unlocking all sorts of free digital content. Head over to our blog about Tyrande to learn more!
*Twitch Prime is available to all Amazon Prime members including Amazon Student, and is available to customers in the United States, Canada, UK, Germany, France, Italy, Spain, Belgium, and Austria.
I think the real take away from this event is... Priest has a 50% win rate in a Priest-only league.
It goes preeetttyy nice whit my golden portrait.
Blizzard why don't you give tyrande for those that already have it in heroes of the storm?
Hey guys can someone help me please with this ? When im trying to log on twitch prime it shows Your Account is suspended. Redirecting... What im suposed to do? :/
It's fucking depressing at this point ...
If you're smart enough, you can activate Tyrande from any country using Amazon workaround. It doesn't matter where are you connecting from(thus your IP doesn't matter).
1. Create account on amazon.co.uk or amazon.com (those are UK and US region sites) or use existing one.
2. Set your payment details with your real exisitng card.
3. Set your billing address to any location in UK or US respectively. You can even write Blizzard's company address and fake name (still keep in mind that you have to use real card holder name), there is no verification beyond zip codes.
4. Activate Amazon Prime trial. You won't be charged anything.
5. Look for an option "connect with twitch account" or something like that.
6. You will be redirected to twitch site, where you'll be prompted to login to your twitch account, then you have to use your Amazon credentials.
7. Minutes you should have Twitch Prime activated and you can find Prime Codes on the left sidebar.
8. After you have copied all codes and you don't want to use Twitch Prime and/or Amazon Prime in feature, you should unsubscribe from both services, otherwise you'll be charged a fee next month.
If you've got problem connecting Amazon Prime with Twitch, then make sure that every aspect of your accounts on Twitch and Amazon relate to the same country. So, let's say I log in using amazon.co.uk, then I should have those settings:
1. Billing address on amazon set to some virtual UK address.
2. Your main Amazon shop set as amazon.co.uk (amazon.us /co.uk account are compatibile, but still somewhat region-locked).
3. Kindle store region set to UK (I never used Kindle Store, but I had to change it from US one).
4. Your twitch region as UK/Great Britain.
I might have missed some things like adding credit card details on Twitch, because I had them already set in past, but it's working and I succesfully activated Tyrande in Poland.
everyone did it with samsung galaxy's promotion and no one gave a shit.
happens with twitch prime and everyone loses their minds....
ffs!!!!!
I don't think there is any safe workaround. You could borrow credit card from someone, just make sure that after you're done, you unsubscribe from Prime and remove any payment/credit card details before 30-day trial expires.
@YessMasster
Damn blizzard, why won't they give everything for free and on our terms.
Is there any technical reason they should actually care? I ask seriously, is there an actual reason why they should force Amazon to break their region rules? Did you pay them more than Amazon did for Prime promotion skin?
It's just simply silly to go all social justice warrior mode about cosmetic items, that you're not getting charged for.
Kripp and haHAA hype! Wish they put Forsen and Reckful Kappa
Wow, they just keep on going, won't them? Yeah, just rub it in my face that I don't live in countries A, B or C. Well maybe you don't want all other countries to play your game, I wonder what the implications of that line of thought are to your salaries.
This is as disrespectful as a company can get with people WHO PAY THEM. Well, no longer, I am perfectly able to farm all the gold I need.
Wow!
A hidden announcement of an announcement for Co-Op Mode coming with Blizzcon!! ;-)
So the state of Priest is now so bad that Blizzard has to pay people to play the class.
Yikes.
Come on Blizz guys,
Give option to purchase Tyrande also to us from non-listed countries.
This is beyond stupid to limit purchasing a new hero only to specific countries.
Some of us don't want to beg other users on non-HS Twitch channels for some code and don't want to use some "hack" methods. Just give us legitimate way to get Tyrande.
And if you say "we are working on it" start doing work faster. Time = money so do yourself a favor and make smart decisions faster and more effective for all.
Start acting like a serious business company and stop please with this childish decision making. Thank you very much !!!
You can buy a code on ebay for 7-8 dollars in case you didnt know :)
There are no "hacks" for the code. It is basically free for those in the specific countries. They can just keep generating new codes and sell them for much higher prices.
Yup. Bought one for myself and my wife, $5 CDN each.
Thanks ebay.
Not that it necessarily helps or makes it better, but they are probably under contract and are being paid lots of money to KEEP it a Twitch Prime exclusive. Everybody talks as if Blizzard can just make her available in the store for everyone else, but that i most likely not the case.
I don't mind these promotions (in fact I like them, giving exclusive rewards is a nice feeling), but I do wish they had more heroes actually available for purchase through the shop for every hero. That would make promotions like this seem like a much smaller deal to those who can't get it.
