Announcement Stream Twitch Drops - Do-Over on November 3rd and 4th
Because of an issue with the Twitch drops today that were promised, there is now a do-over event in which we can get 2 packs, including a March of the Lich King pack! Read more below!
This is now LIVE!
Quote from BlizzardHey all,
Thanks for joining us for today’s announcements! We hope you enjoyed the show and the first look at our next expansion, March of the Lich King!
As some of you know, there was an issue with the Twitch Drops that were planned for today’s stream. To make up for that, we’re implementing category-wide Twitch Drops from November 3 at 9am (PT) to November 4 at 6 pm (PT)! Watch for a total of 2 hours to get a free Murder at Castle Nathria Pack; watch for 2 more hours (4 hours total) and you’ll get a free March of the Lich King pack!*
Because these are category-wide Twitch Drops, they can be earned by watching any channel in the Hearthstone category. Just make sure you link your BattleNet and Twitch accounts so that you’re eligible to receive drops 2.
For those of you who missed the broadcast, you can watch the VoD here.
*March of the Lich King packs will be openable once the expansion launches in December.

Watched for 6hrs, still no pack. Everything conneted as it should be...
Edit: Today I've got those packs, finally!
Wow, thank you so much for the Do-Over Blizzard! It went great! Just like the first time - no drops.
Let's try it the third time, but now ask us to watch 24 hours for a card pack!
Well, i could claim them as normal. They just didnt arrive at my hs account yet. I'd assume that'll happen after the event concludes.
Did you claim your rewards? I did not get notified that I could claim them and had to check myself. time also doesn't count towards the second unless you claim teh first
4+ hours no packs, ggwp
Where do I watch on twitch?Understand now
Same question. Twich packs used to be nearly instant (literally minutes after the claim) but nothing this time.
How long does it actually take to get the drops? I claimed both mine hours ago. I've confirmed my accounts are linked and still not receiving the packs.
pro-tip, if you're not someone who wants to watch hearthstone streamers at all but still want the packs, you can just open a tab, mute it in the browser, and then go do whatever else you want, and you'll still get the drop.
Worth noting: Because they're Twitch drops,, they need to be manually redeemed after the watch requirement is met before they appear in-game, or start contributing to the next drop. So remember to check in occasionally and see if you've hit the watch requirement.
Nah, just use the "Automatic Twitch" browser extension to autoclaim that stuff:

disappointing since these streams are 3am my time and was actually able to make it this time
It's any stream between those times. So, 36 hours long or whatever it is.
cant they just outright give the pack to everyone? or lower the time watched required to 15mins to reflect the original drops?
the audacity man
its your fault act like it
I just realized that I think I know why this happened in the first place.
Remember earlier in the week when we reported that there was an event with drops visible to streamers and that from it we knew the date of the expansion reveal?
That got hidden some time after that, and I'm like 99% sure that whatever they did to remove it from public view, also buggered up the fact it was supposed to go live today at that time and place. It makes too much sense that messing with it caused this.
So I guess this is all our fault for being too nosy and hyped for expansion news. :P
Personally I think it's something different & something "bigger", because yesterday I checked my obtained drops in twitch settings, and yesterday & now i see a weird problem/bug:
My BN account WAS connected with twitch, because I was receiving packs, but NOW it's not connected & I can't even connect it.
Even If I'll go to my "drops" bookmark & for example I see I've got 2 standard packs 3 months ago, there is a link/connect button under these drops.
But if I'll click them it redirects me to link/connect bookmark & there I have only options to connect my twitch account with Steam, Youtube, Twitter, Riot Games & Ubisoft.
No more options, including BattleNet 🤔
Am I the only one with that kind of issue?
EDIT: OK - I have no clue why my twitch account wasn't linked with my Battlenet account, but it's linked back again. Just logged in to my BN account & in "Battlenet connections" i have linked it.
And one word about my earlier words: these (YT, Ubisoft, etc.) options were just "suggested". It doesn't mean they're the only options.
So yeah. I'm ready for packs 💪
I would never realize my Twitch acc desync'd to Battlenet, so thank you!
Also, there's not even a Battlenet connection option on Twitch anymore. Almost seems like they're making it harder to get drops...
I didnt notice that they desinced my bn account from twitch. Thanks my guy
Edit: here is the link to connect BN accout to twitch https://account.battle.net/connections/twitch
I Think they changed something , becouse i always got the drops from Twitch and Youtube in the past.
Now i checked connection on Battlenet account page and Twitch and Google are not connected on the top part of the page , but on bottom part are listed as Authorized Applications ( Twitch Interactive, Inc. , Google )
Like someone said in the past there was a Twitch page to connect it , now is not present and you can only link from battlenet account page , but is possible the old connections still works.
Will test it next drops and update this post.
now i can confirm that without having it connected on the top part , twitch drop still works
edit: progress can work but mb pack is not assigned. i ended first 2h but still waiting pack , i wait a bit more before connecting .
Hahaha
