Yeah, I've been stuck like this basically the whole time. Started getting the hat one day... then it switched to another one and progress stopped. Nothing seems to give progress on the hat anymore (which I don't really care about, just confirming I'm seeing the same shit).

Make sure you're using whichever Twitch channels that it's recommending. By the screenshot, that's /playlostark and /amzntom. A LOT of streamers are just straight lying about their drops being enabled to farm viewers.

Yeah that passed. They had like three teams of streamers competing to unlock 'points' or some shit. Each tier of the race had a different reward, think it was pet->hat->mount. My hat isn't finished either because the last team that was doing hat flipped over to mount before I could finish. People in chat were hoping the old one would still tick, but it didn't and it immediately started filling % on the mount. Guessing those old drops are no longer available anymore.

If you see the drop on amzngtom and playlostark, it's essentially disabled without being disabled, because neither of them every stream. If you looked during the drop race, the later rewards were also only activated to those two accounts and they only added the team streamers to the drop when that team reaches the reward tier. Just a way for them to do that tiered reward shit while working within Twitch's UI.

You can see each team's progress. The hat was only when the teams were in the first leg.

I have gotten the fox pet and the hover board but all the others have been giving me the same issue you are talking about none of them make any progress regardless of which streamer you watch.

Used one of the 3 day passes they handed out and instantly fell in love with the free ports, repair and bank access. Using the 30 day now. Worth the convenience imo.
Someone mentioned this last night, but I couldn't figure out where these free ones were at. Anyone got any idea?

SO I watched Shrouds stream from last night, he was doing some T2 8 mans, pretty damn cool. Anyway, at end of stream he bought some shit with RL moneys to push up to T3 and then he went over his steam purchases for this game. The fucker dropped like $1700 to get from T1 to T3. Hes got something like 75 hours played.

Spent about 30 minutes on the AH. Got quite a few gems for less than 75 gold! Not sure why people are putting minimum bids so low.

Geez, I've got slightly more time played but I'm not THAT far from t3. If I dropped like $50 I bet I could get there. But why?

Edit: Uh, fuck, I've got 115 hours. So a lot more.

Ok. I have a question. I don't know what it's called, but you can transfer your upgrades to other gear somehow?

Bottom of the honing guy, second tab, you transfer it. Click the one you want to transfer to first, then select your material.

Hopefully you didn't hone any second sets.

Fun thing they don't tell you is you can use your t1 +15s on the base t2 to automatically get +1. Saves a very small amount of mats.

Yeah I believe if you have t1 +15 you get 1 level, +16 you get 2, etc. Not sure if it's worth it, but I guess if you are in T3 and pushing past +15 it gives you a head start when T4 releases.

Also the original item is consumed during the process, but it only costs silver and is guaranteed success.

Eh, whales like him keep the game "cheap" for F2P players. $1700 to Shroud is probably the equivalent of $50 to most people.

in a stream once rich cambel talked about why he whale so hard in games. he said basically that being a new york person always gushing about how much he loves new york.

basically normal people shit costs a lot in new york. and entertainment like buying drinks for chicks in bars. costs a crippling amount of money for normal people. so when most people see 50 dollars for a game thing and wince. he sees 1.4 drinks for girls in a bar.

not that that doesn't make him a while, but some people exist in various cost of living biomes or levels of income or trust fund or whatever. and they get to whale out full force and it doesn't even dent their budget.

I think it's more people expect to see that shit from them and if they can drop mad gold and get big viewer counts it becomes a business expense verses a money sink from some general turbo tard. If you can drop $3k to earn $30k you do that all day long. Hell fags are probably pissing themselves to donate just to see them piss it away.

During a stream for the hoverboard, the question came up about previous items. The streamer was told that at some point before the end of March Amazon will do another chance for everything. But, I've heard nothing since.

Also for streamers those costs are expenses so that $1700 is actually $1100.

I hope so because Jeffy Bezzy owes me my free shit for allowing myself to have some retard on mute up in the background on some tab.
