Need Developer/Klei Team Member Answer


Recommended Posts

Dear Klei,

I have been enjoying your games for many years, but I only recently found out about the Twitch Drops. I'm a big fan of skins, so I'm really eager to get going on that. Still waiting for the March drops to be announced/go live.

Anyway, from what I've heard from other users, the drops will go for about a week before stopping, and then we wait for the next month for the new campaign to begin.

I was wondering that if, instead of having 3/4 month of downtime where we can't earn anything, if you could cycle though the old campaigns during the downtime between new drops? That would allow users to earn drops that they missed in the past, and maintain interest in streams between new prize campaigns.

Really hope to hear back soon, and really really hope that you guys think this is an idea that should be implemented. 

Have a great day,

~Amy

I'm not a Klei dev, but you might be interested in Klei rewards. A lot of old drops go there, and by gathering points by following updates on the forum you can get most of the stuff you missed- I caught up with everything in about a year.

Thanks for posting. I'm aware of the rewards and have claimed two so far. Currently waiting on more Klei points to be available. Also, there's several skins that have been available through twitch drops that aren't on the rewards page yet, plus Klei points are hard to come by and you basically wait on links for those like you do for the new twitch drops. I'd just like to be able to make progress in the interim.

It would be cool if we could at least earn Klei points from watching streams when there isn't a drop campaign going on. (And if they could add all the missing items to the rewards page). 

I’m also not a dev at Klei (they get cool special red glowing name plates I’m jealous of) but Usually Klei will do an encore collection of passed skin drops once the campaign for that set of skins concludes.

(for example when they’re finally done with the Nautical collection, before moving on to a new collection they will rerun the Nautical Collection.)

They May have stopped doing that now that more and more stuff is being added to the Rewards page, but that’s how it use to work.

They used to do encores to provide skins from streams continuously but they don't anymore, I wonder if that has anything to do with the new twitch drops system, which is also the reason why they have to hold the campaigns for only 2 weeks instead of a month or more like they used to. If I had to guess, twitch has to have a select drop up for a maximum of 2 weeks now and repeating a campaign messes up the drops.

 

It's quite sad that the twitch overhaul axed a significant chunk of DST skin drops campaigns' appeal

I'm almost sure the drops are active for about 2 weeks, not one. :wilson_nerdy:

I originally had said two weeks, but then I looked at the Conch Torch thread, and the availability period was from Jan 27th to Feb 3rd (which is 7 days), so I edited my post.

I really hope that's the case, because I want all the nautical stuff (except the salt box, since I got that already with my Klei points)

Does anyone know the time between a skin being released on twitch and arriving on the rewards page? I noticed that some take a year, but I don't know if it applies to all skin drops

The collection ones from Circus and Crystaline came right after their encores were over. (Latter's encores were cut short to accomodate the new twitch drops system). Since we don't expect encores for Nautical, all remaining nautical skins should hit the rewards as soon as all of nautical collection is released.

With the non-collection ones like holiday and login rewards, it's 'whenever klei feels like it' really. Things like Festive Saddle and Festive wardeope were added before a year has passed from their release but stuff like ice fishing rod, ancient stonework and wegame exclusives havent been added after years have passed from their release.

There unfortunately has to be balance. Since the inception of Klei rewards, I think they have already handed out over 20,000 points. Although they can give out another 20,000 points this month, or this year, it doesn't make any sense for them to flood people with more points. I started gathering them in the middle of last year and don't even have enough to get the stuff I want. However, there are others who are drowning in points and just use them for spool conversion. 

 

I guess my only answer is patience.
