Posted Apr 27, 2019 (Rise of Shadows)LoL, I have watched the entire thing for 3 days running and not received a single classic pack. the system doesn't limit viewers to one classic pack only, so it's totally skewed. some people are getting 2 and 3 an hour while other people get nothing. I also think the mods were able to ban you from getting packs, as a lot of us couldn't even type the word "pack" in the chat, they then caught on to "p4ck" and later "p@ck" something was definitely going on on :D
I honestly don't think it's worth doing it again tonight.
Not complaining, just letting people know who are thinking of tuning in for free packs. Beyond the guaranteed packs, you probably won't get anything.

Posted Apr 28, 2019 (Rise of Shadows)I got 4 packs myself, didn't type a single thing in the chat all through my hours of watching. Couldn't even watch it all because the hours were a little problematic.

Posted Apr 27, 2019 (Rise of Shadows)I watched the entire thing each day and didn't get a single classic pack. they made it sound like it was highly probable, but really it wasn't because the drops were not monitored in any way. some people were getting loads and others getting none.
was probably rigged, mate.

Posted Apr 26, 2019 (Rise of Shadows)Guys i think that the problem is that there are no twitch drops during he EU recast, you have to farm 4 hours watching this matches following this time schedule https://playhearthstone.com/en-us/esports/tournament/hct-world-championship-2019?matchInfoTab=1&eventTab=0#MatchInfo
Update: after watching almost 8 hours of the actual live stream still no RoS pack or any dropped classic packs. In the rulings is written that it can take up to 48h to make the adequate controls before giving the prize, i will wait but if i dont see any pack i will send a ticket.

Posted Apr 27, 2019 (Rise of Shadows)same problem i think that i have to watch it from 4:00 to 12:00 (europe time); it is also written up here (7 p.m.–3 a.m. PDT).
i only watched it from 11:00 to 15:00, so i think that only one hour count for the twitch drop. at what time did you watch it?
