Well, you see Mike, KLei is pulling a bit of our legs - us Twitch stream "leechers" (actually everybody's legs really) - with this new drops system: is not enough to just watch/sit with browser tab open on some 160p muted stream in background; now, after the 30 minutes mark, then an additional 1h & 30 minutes, and finally after another 4h mark (6h in total) one needs to go for all 3 mentioned marks on Twitch page - Profile icon (upper-right corner, example below), click to see if Drops are at 100% progress, click on that too and open the claiming page (again, example below); finally click on "Claim Now" button if progress is complete. Thus engagement for all 3 steps. No more passive automatic delivery of goodies, as one must count all 3 mark intervals and manually/actively engage (a bit) with Twitch page. "Sneaky sneaky Kleiu!"

Now show me how to do this on the MOBILE version of Twitch from my iPhones Safari browser & we will be all good.

This new way of streaming/getting twitch drops sucks.. but it’s fine I have a whole bunch of Klei points I don’t even use, so I’ll just have to unfortunately wait till Klei puts the drops there instead I guess.

Edit: I should also probably mention that watching Twitch streams isn’t really my cup of Tea anyway, Klei let’s people stream these things with mods enabled, since the console game will probably never be allowed to have Mods, it’s a confusing mess of trying to guess what IS and what ISN’T actually part of the game I’m playing.

This is roughly the same reason I can’t get my friends into the game: They’re watching random twitch/YouTube videos that technically are not accurate portrayals of actual gameplay..

And at this point: there should be stricter rules on that maybe have categories for Console only or No mods enabled streams- Something that showcases what the actual GAME can do and not what mod creators Made the game do.

In fact: I’ve heavily considered streaming strictly gameplay myself at some point.

Just a friendly reminder this is not KLEIs doing this is TWITCH doing this. The old Drop system was being removed 100% from Twitch so Klei had to do this. There was no decision behind it. I think what everyone is assuming is that Klei just decided they wanted to change the Drop system, however it was forced upon them because of Twitch. 

I have streamed over 4000+ hours of DST played before drops ever became a thing. If you are starting to stream DST for the first time and are left out of the drops program the best thing you can do is show Klei you want to get on that list by streaming DST. 

Not everything is handed to us anymore and working towards something feels really great when you finally get it. Another thing is this list will be changing it will not be the same list every drop which opens up the playing field to those people who always sit on the top few spots to sit for a bit while someone new comes along and gets number one. 

I agree that its a change but it was not done because Klei did it it was done because Twitch made them do it. Just like becoming an affiliate on Twitch you do not go live on Twitch and instantly get it you have to work towards it. Just like that you have to work towards that it is the same here. 

I stand on both sides of the fence because I understand people are frustrated with the same big streamers at the top but judging how the system is with new names on the list we are bound to see more people being accepted each new drop change. 

Also this is a huge new thing for Klei too they are just as new to this experience as we all are. It will take some time to figure out what is best.

Well to be honest I don't think it's that bad since you basically have to only pay attention the first 2 times,set an alarm for the 30 minute mark,also set one for the 2 hour mark , and the 6 hour one doesn't matter cause If you forget about the stream and leave it on for longer than needed you will get the drop the same,just be sure to claim it when shutting it off or whatever. I just leave the inventory tab open and refresh it when it needs to be claimed. And idk if Klei made this intentionally,maybe Twitch does this with other drop systems as well.

people just want free stuff without making any effort and complains with everything that changes that

Gotchu. Am using Twitch only for these DST skin drops so I have no clue if system is general on said site or not. Good to know.

But of course, what kind of serious "leecher" am I if I have to "work for it". A joke of a "leecher", 1/5 stars, day ruined with a bottomless disappointment, not recommending at all, obvious fake "leecher" is fake!

Looks fantastic!

but how can I re-link my account if it is already linked? I see no option to un-link it. On my rewards page, it shows "successfully linked", even if I log in and out of my psn, when I do log in my account is linked and it shows that I already got the rewards on twitch, and I have already manually claimed them all.

Log in to your Klei account and click the User Info tab. There it should show what accounts are linked. If it is showing Twitch, you can delete the account there, then relink accordingly. However, this was not necessary for me when I did this, so I'm unsure if this will solve the problem. You may wish to contact Klei support before taking this measure as I'm also unsure of any other consequences of taking these steps.

Sad that I can't provide drops for my viewers.. Is this only for bigger twitch channels that apply? is there a certain viewership that needs to be met? I did apply, but just wondering.. Thank you for reading this Joe if you do.. Please send me a message with an answer because I may not have time to check back on this post!!  THANK YOU again for all that you guys do for the community

Thanks, it was an issue with console in general, it was fixed earlier today on ps4 and now we all got the rewards in game. But at the time i think nobody on console was able to get them.

[Qsern]

and here we go afk for 6 h on twich ( ngl everyone is going to do that)

[Fan777]

Здраствуйте, пожалуйста не давайте мне дропсы, я не хочу, чтобы у меня сидели зрители ради них, противно и не приятно.
Спасибо
Hello, please don't give me drops, I don't want the audience to sit for them, it's disgusting and not pleasant.

Yeah these still don’t actually exist for Xbox.. 

You can see I earned em Here:

But they don’t actually appear in game.

[secretgalaxy]

When looking at the twitch, I noticed in the message about the information for the drop: <br> <br>

[Bird Up]

what determines if you don't get accepted? my friend streams dst almost exclusively and not accepted? :/

[Mike23Ua]

I think (don’t take my word for it cause I don’t know for certain) that Klei is manually choosing who gets to be eligible for drops PER DROP and who isn’t.

If this is the case: It would be interesting to see people like Glermz having to go without having drops available for a Drop rotation while a less frequented Streamer like your friend gets the Drops enabled that rotation.

It would certainly get more people to check out less known streamers, even IF they are really only there for the drops that week.

Plain and simply put: People need to see this game being played by a larger variety of players and skill levels, showcase gameplay in a light that’s NOT being showcased on Twitch at the moment..

Show those beginner players struggling to figure things out and dying left and right.

I watched Glermz stream yesterday & I mean no disrespect to Glermz but- I watched him kill both Ancient Guardian And FuelWeaver in a span of less than 15 minutes- This is absolutely BORING and it makes the game look absolutely boring..

Show the people like MY play through where I cleverly entered the fight with enough slurtle slime to bring its health down to a level I felt comfortable fighting it with, then hide inside Snurtle Shell armor to avoid taking AG’s charge attacks.

Show the people who still manage to make “Wet Goop” or stumble upon discovering Lunar Marsh biome for the first time EVER while streaming..

I watched 3 different streamers and they all pretty much had mega bases and were rushing bosses with a Bee Queen crown.

Show the people who run around trying to figure out how to create a base..

Give the game the viewership it deserves- I don’t want to watch the experts with 3000 day mega bases who have seen and done everything, I want to watch the kid playing DS/DST for the first time in their life.. 

I want to laugh hilariously as the encounter their first RockJaw attack and scream in shock throwing their controller in the air.

If Klei can create some on/off switch where big streamers like Glermz take the backseat while some lesser known streamer gets the spotlight for a drop run: We will see the game in a new light.

I want to see the XBOX players who have the same problems fighting with controller button prompts and mod-less worlds as I do.

Those are the streamers I’d like to watch.

maybe that kind of player are more worried about learning the game that streaming it

maybe there is newbie streamers but they are noobs because they dont expend much time in the category so they shouldnt be choosen over the ones that are always streaming dont starve

plus, people look after a show not a random guy dying. Every gameplay of every game is made by skilled/veteran people. Noobs usually are people that makes short gameplays showcasing games but not putting any effort of making a community arround a single game so there will be no sense of selecting that kind of streamer if they wont stream dst most of the time that the drop will be avaraible

if you wanna see noobs making noobs things just make a party of random public server players

[Bird Up]

my friend plays almost exclusively dst, has hundreds of hours, but not accepted. she made lots of cool worlds i think twitch viewers like seeing.

Is the 1st attempt with this new method. Is to try things, maybe for that joew didnt added more streamers

Also is a hand made job so they cant add an infinity amount of streamers unless they change how they select who gets it

i think for now only popular streamers will get attention. regular ones come later if people complain or klei runs out of popular streamers. for sure though twitch has drastically changed already. the ds category has had less than 6 streams at any given time every time i have gotten on since ds stopped being supported

 

[Bird Up]

What exactly was the issue with the previous system...? Every streamer who was playing DST category could have drops for their stream. Now it's pick and choose 'bigger' streamers, and small streamers don't get the access? How exactly has anyone expoited the previous system? I saw no alleged abuse, and if there was abuse it must have been pretty fringe. New system just makes small streamers have to watch bigger streamers to get drops, instead of just streaming in old system. It demotivates the small streamers because they will not feel appreciated in new system. Their viewers won't even get drops, so they have less of a reason to show up.

 

If someone applies to get drops enabled, they're showing they care to represent the game on twitch, and that should be enough. they're already freely advertising the game, give them the drops enabled.

You realise what you’re saying makes no sense, right? You want small streamers to get noticed but also said you’re watching Glermz despite finding him “boring”.

Just because you have a personal preference of watching those with no experience play the game doesn’t mean everybody else shares that same preference. Clearly, a lot of people like to watch an experienced player create unique and beautiful looking megabases and it’s also great that they get to receive drops at the same time.

What you need to remember is that streamers such as Glermz work with and support Klei on a daily basis and have done for many years. Why exactly doesn’t he deserve to be eligible for drops? I get you want small streamers to be more appreciated, I think we all do, but coming after the “larger” streamers and how they make their content isn’t exactly the right way to go about it and just looks salty IMO. Please remember that bigger streamers work hard too and usually spend years building up their viewers and subscribers to get to where they are today and completely deserve their success.

Have a great day!

so go wach them, there is small streamers with drop, i will never understand why ppl hate on a streamer and keep watching him!

[AllFunNGamez]

I for one enjoy new starts and challenges and seeing us try to battle bosses or enemies while things get thrown at us by viewers in chat. I can honestly say everyone has their own view on DST and what they want to watch. 

Even if Klei started picking and choosing new players for drops and removing those who are normally on top you would still have those people who are not looking for this sort of content and prefer watching Megabase or a pro player. 

I think overall you would be continuously battling either end of the situation. Overall the best solution for this is just trusting Joe or whoever is managing the drop system to choose new people each 2 weeks to allow for fresh faces. But this does not mean take away Glermz from the list only because he chooses to play his game style. 

I think if people really want to see their type of game play and want the drops why not have the drop stream on and muted and jump over to another streamer who is just starting out. I also want to make sure people know you can still get the drop when the stream is muted. I am unsure who started the rumor that you cannot mute the stream for a drop but I can confirm it works unless I am special or something.

I think DST offers a range of options for gameplay and the amount of times people bash me for using mods in DST there is no reason for it. Choosing who is on the list based on their gameplay is not what it should be, but rather if they are obeying the simple rules that Klei put in place. Have fun, Do not Abuse the System, and stick to the TOS on Twitch. 

If you are not on the list do not take it as you are not noticed by Klei take it as you are not on the list YET but keep up the great work you do and sooner or later you will be chosen for that weeks drop.

nothing was wrong, its just that twitch changed and klei had to adapt
