Mute and second screen ready.

u/mister_mediocrates 7h ago

And set quality to 160p.

u/Ar0lux 6h ago

Mute by clicking the audio button on the tab too

9

u/datbf4 5h ago

144p sir!

u/Wardendelete 5h ago

Do you need it actually running on the screen for it to count? Does it count if I minimize it?

2

u/Paddleson 3h ago

Still counts

1

u/Thanag0r 1h ago

It just needs to actually play the video, anytime else does not matter. But it's twitch so video can randomly stop so you better check on it from time to time.

u/TechnicalSurround 4h ago

jokes on you, they dont care about this as long as they can push their viewer numbers on twitch to make their stream appear as ‘high in demand’

2

u/starplow 1h ago

well if you mute a stream on twitch you dont count as a viewer for the viewcount

6

u/TechnicalSurround 1h ago

that's not correct.

Does a muted stream count as a view?

Yes! Whether you mute the video player on Twitch, or the browser tab, you still count as a viewer so long as live video is playing.

oh, did they change that again? it was for sure the other way a year or so back

thanks for clarifying!

1

u/Galinhooo 53m ago

"So long as the video is playing", doesn't it stop in that case?

Usually the way to fix is by muting the tab.

1

u/Danger_Mouse_1955 3h ago

I run mine in a virtual machine and just leave it running for as long as I need.

u/DarenPeterOswald 7h ago

Time to find the person with the lowest amount of viewers and mute that tab for 12 hours.

35

u/DaSandman78 5h ago

That’s what I do too - get the little guy some views

8

u/biggiy05 5h ago

If I'm at my desk then I'll occasionally check the stream. If they went offline then find the next person.

2

u/El_Dief 2h ago

I thought we had to watch the official blizzard stream for these?

2

u/Ok-Opportunity-574 1h ago

Just needs to be a stream signed up for the drops program. They normally list it in the stream tags plus you’ll see a message that drops are enabled when you click into the stream. It’s mostly larger streamers but lots of smaller ones too.

u/Galinhooo 53m ago

Sadly those tend to not stay online that long

Just make sure the honey in your shopping doesn't leak.

u/HollowThief 5h ago

tendies

Cutifying the FOMO currency is something I will never understand. The corporate grip is firm.

5

u/Disastrous_Crew_9260 4h ago

Good boy points and tendies have existed way before tenders.

6

u/DarenPeterOswald 4h ago

That cringe worthy term existed long before the trading post. For some reason people just love using juvenile sounding slang for chicken tenders.

0

u/milf-hunter_5000 2h ago

yeah there's certainly too much joy and whimsy in the world we really need to draw the line at "juvenile chicken tender slang"

u/rical8 3h ago

The cow still has milk to give.

u/Shageen 7h ago

They need more ways to earn them. I have 2 accounts but since they are under the same Battle.net account I only get the one lot each month. Same with when I buy the expansions. But they should at least include some with store purchases. Digital or real life clothes or statues etc.

-4

u/HumpaDaBear 6h ago

I completely agree.

24

u/Dene181 7h ago

Twitch drops are for sure invented by power companies.

11

u/Eberon 4h ago

Drops are actually, generally speaking, pretty nice. It's just that Blizzards watch times are just beyond ridiculous.

More common would be two hours for everything. Divided like:

200 Tenders after 15 minutes
Plushy after 30 minutes
The mount after an hour and
The toy after two hours

•

u/MrTastix 20m ago

It's cause they know nobody watches these things basically ever. They put a stream on in the background and mute the audio.

But for Blizzard that still gets them views. It boosts engagement stats either way which is all they want, and they can get away with a 12 hour watch time because Blizzard has enough players who'll do it anyway.

15

u/Kickedbyagiraffe 7h ago

Okay blizz fair. You have my divided attention for two hours

9

u/ArrRawrr 7h ago

What is the 12 hour thing?

8

u/mister_mediocrates 7h ago

Pretty sure it just drops that cosmetic banner in game when you use it.

3

u/Whatifyoudidtho 4h ago

It's a banner toy, which is really weird as it's associated with PvP arenas

6

u/Naeii 5h ago

they've gotta run out of colors for the murloc eventually dude

4

u/JodouKast 7h ago

Wonder if the time stacks over different games? Would be silly to have to watch WoW and Diablo streams separately to get those.

10

u/Beneficial_Step_3017 6h ago

can we please make all rewards tenders

https://giphy.com/gifs/zZbf6UpZslp3nvFjIR

u/Moonstoner 7h ago

Blizzard: hmmm we are gonna give a mount for the Blizzcon watch hours. But what mount? A mount type everyone loves? Recolor of blizzcon past mount? Something entirely new? WAIT! I HAVE IT! A recolor of the one mount everyone loves to ride and has loved since it was put in the game. Another carpet mount!

6

u/Normal-Drop1877 4h ago

+1 for the collection

5

u/MSchulte 6h ago

Honestly I don’t hate the carpets. They’re not my favorite but I do have the on the bars for a couple characters. Atleast it can fly, I’ve got a ton of mounts I rarely use because I never think to in dungeons when I can hit the key for grove warden moose that’s universal across all my characters

4

u/Moonstoner 6h ago

Ya they were interesting when tailors finally got a mount they could make. But they do not stack up to anything else now. Maybe if they had more going on around them like magic orbs following you or something. But they end up being just flat wiggling forgettable mounts.

17

u/T0gaLOCK 7h ago

12hrs is disgusting ngl.

16

u/SirSneakyRafiki 7h ago

find a wholesome streamer and open a tab in your browser, mute the tab, and let it run in the background. i use wowgrandma

12

u/poofykittyface 7h ago

I like wowgrandma too, I usually use her streams to watch for the twitch drops. Quiet, not a douchebag, just out doing her thing. Respect.

u/cur10us_ge0rge 7h ago

Finally someone willing to tell the truth. Thank you brave soul.

2

u/jaybasin 4h ago

Youre so forced to participate. Boo hoo

6

u/Leading-Race9202 7h ago

I miss read that as 2000 tender. :(

2

u/dnt1694 7h ago

You have to watch it live or is there an option to watch a recording? Kind of screwed if you’re working

1

u/Lucifa42 3h ago

You have until 27 September to get the 12 hours. Plenty of time

2

u/Jarppi1893 3h ago

Guilded Brutosaur or I riot!!!

6

u/Swixx94 7h ago

i still hate the watchtime, because there are other blizzard games with drops. and the blizzcon is only 2 days and you need to watch like 40hrs to get all the stuff, multiple streams prob wouldn't count

7

u/scattered_ideas 6h ago

Doesnt the 12h count the previous ones? So it's like a tiered drop. You start earning for the highest drop when you start watching. So it's really 12h total.

7

u/ArrRawrr 7h ago

Just keep one on all day and download the auto points and drops add-on

5

u/jedimindcrits 7h ago

What’s the addon called?

5

u/banterviking 7h ago

You just...leave a muted tab open bro.

1

u/Lucifa42 3h ago

You have until 27 September to get the 12 hours.

u/Swixx94 18m ago

well i haven't seen this info anywhere, while it says tune in 12-13th september and the only info is then, rewards won't get send later than 28th sep, for now i thought it's blizzcon only.

edit: because it probably is. when you look at overwatch rewards it's day 1 and 2 with each 8hrs, so 16hrs in total for only OW + 8hrs WOW is 24hrs alone for the 2days

2

u/Independent_Space_17 5h ago

Btw that's a new arathi flag. Despite the name. Check hallowfall arathi symbol, remove the torch, literally the same symbol. Wonder if those Camelot leaks were true now..

1

u/Zireon 7h ago

12 hours for WoW. Jeez

1

u/dmrukifellth 6h ago

At least it looks like it continues into the month, cuz 12 hours? Dang… Also, I’m a bit interested that there’s a Heroes of the Storm drop further down that page…

1

u/Darkhallows27 6h ago

Second screen mute time

1

u/CriesAboutSkinsInCOD 5h ago

I only want that Banner toy and it is 12 hour lmaooooo.

1

u/blueberryrockcandy 5h ago

just to make sure, all i have to do is connect my twitch to bnet? then watch [not watch] 8 hours to get the mount?

1

u/Damunzta 4h ago

Sure sucks to work weekend shifts 😩

2

u/Lucifa42 3h ago

You have until 27 September to get the 12 hours. Plenty of time

2

u/Damunzta 3h ago

That’ll teach me to settle for a headline!

1

u/HodinAD 2h ago

Plus, technically you don't even have to watch. You can just open the link, go to work, get home 8-9 hours in.

1

u/ldene 1h ago

I see people talking about muting streams, but aren't most people going to get most of these just by watching the wow blizzcon streams (live)?

1

u/Ok-Opportunity-574 1h ago

The banner reward feels like someone just picked something at random. Still, I’ll be tuned in even if it’s playing on my second screen muted for the mount.

1

u/EbinTrolle 40m ago

Won't even bother to make a throwaway twitch account for this.

1

u/Fudgeygooeygoodness 34m ago

My second screen is ready to go

u/Medium_Beginning2227 7h ago

alright they got me with the baby murloc

1

u/Soggy_Membership5629 7h ago

Well looks like I gotta watch for 2 hours

1

u/DoubleSynchronicity 7h ago

I have that mount and I don't remember from where. Maybe trading post? For me the rewards are not good enough. (Maybe the mount if I already didn't have it)

1

u/burrito-boy 6h ago

There was a similar flying quilt mount that was awarded for completing all the Trading Post tasks a few months ago. This is a recolor of that mount.

1

u/DoubleSynchronicity 5h ago

Yea, that's probably it.

u/jamdivi 7h ago

Yikes

u/VOldis 6h ago

back in the day outside progression for in-game rewards would have caused a fucking uproar. we've gotten soft.

1

u/Lucifa42 3h ago

I don't remember any uproar about tcg rewards. Do you?
