Hello, mates. Have been wathcing Live stream on Hearthstone official channel today for like 6 hours already. but still no packs. Do you have to claim them somehow, or is the system just slow? Did you get your packs from today's drops already? Would really appreciate your feedback... Am i missing something important. Thanks!
P.S. - I watched Live stream on officail "Hearthstone" channel 465k subs - It says that YouTube Drops are active - It also says, that i have linked my Blizzard account succesfully (i only have 1 blizz acc and 1 Youtube acc) - Wathced on my Android phone.
There is a PDF document with the rules, and I found this:
"5. NOTIFICATION AND VERIFICATION OF REWARDS: Within 48 hours of the conclusion of each applicable Broadcast, and upon Sponsors’ (or Sponsors’ designee’s) determination of eligible participants, the applicable Rewards will be credited to the Battle.net account of persons who earned the Rewards per Section 4 above, subject to compliance with these Official Rules."
All participants who satisfy the Initial Conditions and watch a cumulative total of two (2) hours of the Broadcasts during the Opening Week Period will earn one (1) digital Hearthstone: Year of the Phoenix card pack. Additionally, participants who satisfy the Initial Conditions and watch a cumulative total of four (4) hours of the Broadcasts during the Opening Week Period will earn one (1) additional digital Hearthstone: Year of the Phoenix card pack. Limit two (2) Hearthstone: Year of the Phoenix card packs per person during the Opening Week Period.
I think the system is just slow, but it might be worth to point this out:
Can I earn rewards / link my accounts if I'm watching YouTube on TV or media devices?
Rewards are available only on computer, the YouTube mobile app, on YouTube's mobile website m.youtube.com, and through picture-in-picture viewing. If you watch on embedded players or using the YouTube app on TV or on media devices, you will not be eligible for rewards.
I didn't get any packs either ... did you guys had youtube in background or actually watched ?? Anyone knows if it matters or if are in a different tab ? etc.
its just a case of a large billion-dollar streaming service cant figure out instant integration triggers. They can censor your words at an instant if you type a keyword, even if in context its not bad, but they cant figure out how to give you rewards

They don't want to. They don't tell you the watch time either. Why? So you will still keep watching after the time needed for the drops... Otherwise it would have 100 viewers. :)
I am starting to think this thing is a scam to keep people watching the maximum amount as people dont know how much time youtube counted as "watched". youtube dont show this info on purpose, so people would watch more, and therefore more ad revenue.
Dont get me wrong, I still think the system would work somehow and we will get our packs. I just think that the system been made "flawed" intentionally.

P.S.
- I watched Live stream on officail "Hearthstone" channel 465k subs
- It says that YouTube Drops are active
- It also says, that i have linked my Blizzard account succesfully (i only have 1 blizz acc and 1 Youtube acc)
- Wathced on my Android phone.
- Am logged in to both (youtube and blizz acc)
I don't have a source, but I heard that it might take up to 48 hours after watching to actually receive the packs.
Same thing here. Watching for hours and no packs so they will probably give it later.
They have a bot in chat saying that it can take up to 48 hours to get the packs...Don't panic, the packs aren't really worth it anyway.
It's dumb, though, that there is no notification on YouTube.

How long you need to watch to get packs ? I can't find that anywhere

So friday-sunday counts as opening week? And the next 2 packs, can we collect them during next week?

YouTube drops is so dumb, GJ Blizz...
Yes, the Opening Week Period is from friday to sunday.
The Regular Season Period will be from April 16th to May 30th.
SO no one has got any yet?
Ok, hopefully there's no problem then and they'll arrive at some point in the next day or so :/
I didn't get any packs either ... did you guys had youtube in background or actually watched ?? Anyone knows if it matters or if are in a different tab ? etc.
they said the packs would be added in game within 48hrs,don't you guys think waiting before panicking would be a wise decision?
24hrs and tha pain will be over.
