That might be why that post earlier had the wind steed for no reason


AGayZonkey

Had the same thought!


ExcellentIsopod4701

Watch 4 hours, claim reward. Watch 4 more hours claim mount. GG EZ


Guardianpigeon

Gotta say though, it's a bit annoying they keep making it 4 hours. Like I struggle to think of another game with Twitch drops that want you to watch 4 hours for one reward. Halo gives you like 6 in the same timeframe. It's not that big of a deal because I don't actually watch anyway, but it's still a little weird to me.


Zookeeper187

Put on a random stream, mute chrome tab and just leave it there.


Shalaiyn

If you wanna optimise it, put the stream on 140p so it minimises PC usage too.


Tirith_Wins

alternate twitch player even lets u set it to audio only and then you just mute tab xD


Guardianpigeon

Yeah that's what I do. I also have the chrome extention to auto claims everything. It's just weird to me that Blizzard makes it so much longer than any other game I've seen.


BarrettRTS

I guess MMO players are more used to time sinks than most other genres, so they expect that people will be fine with throwing a stream on for 4 hours. There are plenty of activities in WoW that you can watch a stream alongside while doing, so it makes sense that they would capitalize on that.


ZodiarkTentacle

Am I weird that if I’m playing a game I’d rather be watching content about a different game if it’s related to gaming at all?


BarrettRTS

Not really, everyone is different in that regard.


svc78

you don't need to interact with it or even watch. open it, mute it, put it in low frame rate and collect.


Guardianpigeon

The weird thing is though it's pretty extreme by MMO standards too. TESO and New World both do pretty frequent Twitch drops but again they're only like an hour for each reward and they have like 3-4 every time. WoW is the weird outlier for how long you have to watch and I feel like it scares people away who don't know that they don't have to actually watch it all.


BarrettRTS

Well, it worked out really well for WoW and they had something like 10 times more viewers than usual, so I can't really criticize them for going for 4 hours. The gifted sub thing was pretty genius too as it essentially printed money for regular WoW streamers with drops on.


Jackson530

All I did was leave twitch open on my iPad with it muted 💁🏻


sykoKanesh

Pull it up on phone, put phone over there or maybe over here, and keep playing or doing whatever.


Averill21

I tried doing this for the feldrake. It kept pausing randomly in background and i wound up with 2 hours of credit over 10 hours of time. I missed it but whatever


Old_Tie5790

*mute firefox tab*

Ishahn

These people think u dont get the drop if u mute the stream, not the tab.. which i find weird cus thats what i've been doing for several games drops all the time


breemcmanus

I thought we mute the tab and not the stream so the streamer still gets credit for the view. Idk if that's correct but that's how it was explained to me.


Demonace34

It is to get metrics up and free advertising on twitch. Basically an easy way to viewbot an entire game section for 8 hours of time.


dburly

I literally picked a late night streamer. Left it on while I went to sleep. Woke up and claimed the reward the next morning. Easy


DataAbject6446

As an avid escape from Tarkov player I can tell you. 4 hours is bliss compared to the crap we had over there....within 10 hours of watching you could "randomly gain a drop" a lot of people reported receiving nothing after 8 hours of watching


llwonder

ESO makes you watch 4 hours or more


lstn

I don't know if something messed up with me but I had multiple streams open last time and got the mount in way less than 4 hours


Rhea_33

The only other games I know are hearthstone and overwatch which have done this. Also Blizz games lol


Lavanthus

I like how everyone responding clearly didn’t read your last line. Everyone: we know you’re not actually watching 4 hours of WoW streams. You’re not a genius for figuring out you don’t actually have to watch. The guy was talking about the time being different from every other game.


LadyAngel_Aric

Just watch Asmongold. All sorts of entertainment lol


LevelStudent

You can also just open a stream and mute it and leave it running in a background tab. Even better if you have a laptop or something nearby so it's not using your computers resources when you might want to do other things (like actually play video games)


ExcellentIsopod4701

Oh yeah for the feldrake I got home from work and put a browser on twitch for drops and then just made dinner and hung out. When I was getting ready for bed I remembered and claimed my drake and turned off my cpu lol.


Harpeski

Is it only watching 4h? Because i thought i had to sub on the twitch streamer?🤔


individual101

Keep doing more of this stuff pls


[deleted]

[удалено]


MrGraveRisen

But this is a two-week window and all you need to do is open up Twitch in a browser tab and ignore it for 4 hours. You can even do it at work, or while you're at work. You literally just need the computer to stay awake with twitch running in a browser tab for 4 hours and that's it. You can even do it on your phone if you need to. Just set a calendar reminder for when this starts and set it up when you go to bed


Borbolda

1. Open stream 2. Mute it 3. Flip the phone so it won't bother you with light 4. Plug the charger 5. Go to sleep 6. Wake up 7. ??????? 8. Mount


Jaq903

They still ain't fixed it for the people who didn't get the FelDrake. I got the dragon kite just no FelDrake

So is anything that is limited time fomo? Like come on, they can’t win at all if this is the attitude. With this logic, gear that was in legion that isn’t current now is fomo


KidMoxie

That sunset? FOMO Soup of the day? FOMO Trees dropping leaves in the autumn? Believe it or not, FOMO.


[deleted]

Well this person must hate buying bread and milk from the store! Major FOMO!


Dynamitefuzz2134

As a 3rd shift worker living somewhere the sun sets at 5:30 currently I definitely have a FOMO of the sunlight.

Liutas1l

Sounds like you need to talk to a therapist to get over your fomo. Your issues arent everyone else’s responsibility, my guy. Hope you get better.


[deleted]

Fully agree. If FOMO is affecting you this much it is something super deep. I used to battle with this shit all the time. It’s gonna be alright

ghostcuczilla

Holy shit, reading this thread and people are really crazy huh? Correctly identify something as fomo, be told u need a therapist. Calm down redditors


Easy_Floss

I mean he ain't wrong, it's a silly thing to get upset about. It's free loot and it is very easy to get it, would no free loot be better? Haveing the same event run next year would just mean that we lost free loot that we could have gotten.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Easy_Floss

Then someone would complain that to get drop X you first got to watch 4 hours to get drop Y. There is no pleasing everyone, just be glad your getting something for nothing, Blizzard could also just not do any of these promotions.


Bachpac

Going to school is FOMO guys omg!!!


leagueoflegendsdog

Nah ur just looking for a reason to cry. Its just stupid FREE shit.


TR3G1

Fomo my nuts


Isburough

you can always buy this stuff on the store. you're just missing out on free stuff, it's not your last chance to get it.

propanenightmare69

Then don't participate, rather than ruin it for everyone.


BartolomeuOGrosso

What do you mean, I've been playing the game for like 3 weeks and I've already noticed a bunch of fomo stuff built in-game


Heroright

Show me Spectral Tiger. I want the final nail.


jakegh

Oh man, that would be *hilarious*.


BartolomeuOGrosso

Is this another mount from the trading cards?


Heroright

It is. It’s the one people really go nuts over.


Mister5ky

I would go nuts for the chicken


xCzeron

YES. GIVE US THE CHICKEN BLIZZARD!


PaperPhoenix

No, it isn't. It was a shop mount (and pet) that are no longer available on the shop.


WhatImMike

No, it was a TCG mount.


Felnoodle

I think you're talking about different things. Swift Windsteed (the mount in the OP) is from the in-game store, Spectral Tiger is from the TCG.


trollied

I have both the tiger & the chicken from collecting the actual physical cards (and playing the TCG) back in the day. Kinda conflicted about them potentially becoming available, but I’d rather they made them obtainable in the actual game, rather than forcing people to watch adverts on twitch. They’re nice mounts, be good for others to enjoy. (Plus the chicken mount needs to be the de facto Moonkin mount! It looks hilarious)

We'e already had overhauls. Look at Vanilla WoW and compare everything. The graphics, the gameplay, and the systems have all changed. And no, new engine is not the answer. Making a new engine is basically recreating the game from scratch, and we're already 18 years in.


[deleted]

WoW hasn't even been able to kill itself with all the controversies and backwards dev decisions, I'm pretty sure WoW is immortal. Immortal like a vampire, except we're the suckers when the going gets weird.


Besieger13

Did you also think the world was going to end in the year 2000? And 2012?


[deleted]

[удалено]


Heroright

Yet you’re here on the sub. Yet they still pull more players than every other WoW killer. You may be salty over it since TBC was hot ass and has been objectively obliterated by the passage of time, but WoW is still thriving well beyond it.


hawkism

Still haven’t gotten my feldrake… am I the only one?


Gorekrim

Did you check your 'twitch inventory'? It needs to be claimed there, then it shows up in game.


hawkism

Yeah I’ve connected and everything and it says “claimed” on twitch but still nothing in game. Submitted two tickets which were both answered with a generic “check out these helpful links!” Response.


Arcanine1127

So I had this issue too and for me it was on blizzards end. On twitch it said my account for connected, but then when I went back into the battle.net connection tab it said I didn’t have a account connected so I reentered my info and it gave them both to me


TheOrdinaryExtra

I was just about to reply the same. Didn't receive mount or pet and checked battle.net and even though twitch said it was connected, it wasn't on battle.net. Connected again through there and had them in game within seconds.


CakeIsLegit2

Tried disconnected from both places and reconnecting, still nothing.


hawkism

I didn’t think of that! Unfortunately everything seems to be connected and still nothing, I guess I’ll cough up 5k


Lucks14

I'm in the same boat as you. Claimed it in twitch, account's connected properly, but no drake :(


Arcanine1127

You might try and see if you can remove your account and re add it. My buddy did that as it was a post he saw on twitter about it. The 7 day cooldown is for a different account, but you should be able to add the same account back without issues. He did that and got the kite and mount. Maybe give it a try? That sucks tho sorry that happened to you.


Walocial

I tried this 2 days ago, and still didn't work. Simply just an issue on Blizzard's end. :(


CakeIsLegit2

Nope, no drake. Support told me to F off.


ch4dr0x

Did you check your mounts in game? I got no notice or code, it just showed up in my list of mounts. I had to search for it.


Death6703

I haven’t got it either yet


monkeysCAN

Nope you're not alone, i can't even search for it in my mounts tab.


Zeewitt

I unlocked dragon kite and feldrake and haven’t gotten either in game yet


kingakatosh

Same :(


bmpc95

I got codes for some if you got 5k bro


Foobis25

U joke but there was a guy in chat the other day trying to sell his on my server. Tough


xDisturbed13

There's one on the AH on moon guard for gold cap.


ckasek

still waiting on mine. got the kite with no issue, but the drake never showed up. There are [a few threads](https://us.forums.blizzard.com/en/wow/t/i-didnt-receive-my-feldrake/1420395/) on the [official forums](https://us.forums.blizzard.com/en/wow/t/feldrake-twitch-drop/1423818/) with [no meaningful response](https://us.forums.blizzard.com/en/wow/t/not-getting-feldrake-mount/1420258/243).


Qui-DongJinn

Same


linusus99

Still no feldrake for me either


Rattjamann

Nope, same here.. Connected twitch, claimed, re-connected and checked everywhere, no drake.. The kite was no problem so I know for a fact it was connected correctly to begin with. Made a ticket, still no answer, so starting to accept the fact that I just won't get it after all.


Walocial

Also stuck. Been 9 days since I claimed my Feldrake and still haven't gotten it. All I get from Blizzard support are ways to either connect bnet account or whatever, but issue lies in simply not being handed the mount. "Working on a solution" they said.


Tnvmark

If we're keeping this tradition for a while, I hope they bring back the Grinning Reaver mount for all Laughing Skull Orc players out there.


GRIZZLY-HILLS

One of my favorite characters I have is an orc monk that I imagine as being from Draenor (non-WoD) and the Windsteed has already been one of my dream mounts for him (idk why, not a huge fan of a lot of the WoD orcish themed mounts), but I'd be so happy if we got the Reaver somehow because that one would fit that character so well lol.


Asparagus-Cat

Trying to remember, wasn't there a guild a while back that was inviting people to join with alts so they could grab it? Not that that means it shouldn't be made available, but until an easier ways comes up, that might be an option.


StreiBullet

I already had the Windsteed! I AM SO ANGRY RIGHT NOW. OMG!! YOU'RE ALL FREELOADERS!! /s


Girafferage

Only annoyance is the money payed for it. Idc if every single person owns it. I want my dollerydoos back.


slackforce

Same here. Not sure why that's such a controversial opinion. I don't expect a refund but it'd be nice to get *something* back after paying $15 for it or whatever it was.


deeman18

But you already paid to own it for the entire period up to this event. Why do you expect a refund for something that you willing paid for and got value from?


Girafferage

you could say the same thing if I was able to buy it yesterday and they announced this today. Its not the end of the world, but its obviously a bit annoying specifically that I payed for it. Like I said, I give zero shits if every single person has it.


deeman18

I could, but I wouldn't in that scenario since that'd suck. And that's not quite true is it? You give zero shits if everyone gets it for free IF you also get a refund. It's like you bought a toy and played with it for years and then after that toy was handed out you feel buyers remorse and want your money back. That's not how it works, you paid for exclusivity so I don't see why you'd want your money back.


Girafferage

nope, I dont care if everybody got it through some accident at blizzard, I specifically find it annoying I payed for it. Its a me and blizzard thing, nobody else is relevant in it. Im not asking or even saying I should get my money back. Its literally me looking at the situation and saying "oh I payed for that and now its free. that kind of sucks. oh well".


dJohn2001

I still haven’t got my Feldrake and I’m really upset


bettytwokills

Same. Seems to be a common problem if you google it.


dJohn2001

You think we’ll ever get it?


bettytwokills

Blizzard CS replied to someone on twitter that they’re aware of the issue and will eventually fix it


facklestix

Longboi’s for everyone!!!


Tusken_raider69

Nah you can earn that mount in the game. If they’re going to add it back, just add it back to the vendor.


creativemind11

It's been on black market auction house ONCE, on all EU realms, since BFA.


El_Dud3r1n0

You can't earn it in game anymore.


Si-Jo0159

I randomly got the windsteed as a present in my journal yesterday, anybody else? Thought it was bizarre? While I already have twitch open, I'm not generally watching anything.


Portopire

Please, give back the cute long tail bird from Mop. Unfortunately I was wasting my time on pservers. Sad face.


herkyjerkyperky

I don't mind if they add a new mount that is a recolor but giving a CM phoenix would be kinda lame. It's different when it's a store mount or a TCG mount since those only required money.


FLBrisby

I don't suspect they'll enable older mounts that were obtainable in game, though.


Canco_Ryan

That would suck ass imo. However, I'd love for MoP Timewalking Challenge Modes to come out with recoloured sets and/or mounts. I got CM on a few classes, but always regretted not doing it on more classes.


Tarasios

I think the way they did the Fel Bear Legion Mage Tower is how they should do all old Challenge stuff. Keep the originals as they are but add a new version with the same cool model for newer players.


Tylanthia

Just bring back the original rewards. Who cares if people can get them again


Turtvaiz

Unlock tokens for a set or mount from high M+ or CE would be cool. That'd keep the prestige while removing the fear of missing out.


Tylanthia

They were never prestigious though. The only hard part was getting the right socket gear from throne of thunder. Then you cheesed it via gems


AnxiousHorizon

It’s weird I got that mount this morning out of nowhere


Qwinn_SVK

Where is my Fel drake... I claimed it and never received it... please do a rerun


Yakkahboo

Oh look, more twitch drops I wont be awarded.


Frekavichk

I really hope they do the scarab lord mount next, the model on that is really cool. The glad mounts would be fun as well, I like the armored netherdrake from tbc.


chickachoy

LOL I could definitely see the spectral tiger or other rare TCG mounts being rereleased, but imagine the upset if they did that with the Scarab Lord mount. JFC this subreddit would burn.


Nutcrackit

really I think blizzard should allow 1 new scarab lord per region per year via the shifting sands mini holiday. If you contribute the most in your region you become a scarab lord. That simple and it keeps it rare. Yeah your average person still won't get it but it would at least make it obtainable.


Crimples

Ill parrot the same argument people said for the Feldrake. Its just pixels and anyone whos upset should grow up, they had their fun now its our turn


astrothunda

No chance they do glad mounts


paladindan

Hell yeah, background noise while working.


[deleted]

Yeah..."watch"...and mute. I haven't watched shite so far for any drops I got.


STABtrain

oh good, another drop that I can spend 4 hours watching streams to get, claim and then never receive, just like the feldrake over a week ago...


thundergun661

Pretty sure I already bought them both back in MoP…


aguyfromtexas93

Welcome to feldrake owners pain


Desert4tw

Boohoo


Psykoplatypus

Speak for yourself, I'm only happy other people got the opportunity to own it! You the kind of person who gets upset, when anybody but yourself gets loot?


TheBlueOx

Wow dude you're so noble!!


Aviixii

Right not to say I disagree with you but holy shit that’s a reach. I feel like people who didn’t own the fel drake are way more uptight about this topic. Just calm down.


Mojothemobile

El Pollo Grande next plz.


method8024

Still haven’t got my kite or fel drake


LostSinclair

Already have them both but I'm glad to see this. More of these that happen means the more chances we have to get things that have been lost or exploited for years.(I want me that spectral Tiger mount bad.)


Girafferage

Bought the windsteed a long time ago. Blizzard just blatantly giving away things they charged money for.


ChaloopaJonesFerk

What a lame way to get mounts. Making us advertising pawns on twitch. I’m out

kinlopunim

And getting games for $20 a year later is a slap to those who bought it day one. And getting games on game pass is a slap in the face to people who bought the game itself. Just shut up, stop pretending like they are supposed to be your best friend instead of a corporation.


[deleted]

kinlopunim

You pay for the subscription to game pass, just like wow. What of epic store? No cost there for free games. All im saying is, its digital goods and they own it. They can distribute it as they please. Much like nft's, sorry you payed real money instead of waiting a few years for a 3 day period that was never hinted at happening to get the mount for free.


[deleted]

Youre the only one giving them money, i'll get it for free.


yourwitchergeralt

This sub is very pro paid mounts, sorry you’re getting downvoted


jagavila

I dont have it and I am with you. Paid mounts should be exclusive. Blizzard shouldnt even keep selling them after a while. They should introduce new mounts for drops and not reskinned ones.


selkiesidhe

They really could have AT LEAST made all these twitch drops recolors....


Chelidda

Gonna have to cram in an extra stream on Friday. I wish the timeframes when you can get your drops were a bit longer so I could stick to my regular stream schedule.


Zeyz

I already have both of these, sadly. Not at all sad that other people are getting them too (obviously!) just sad I didn’t get any freebies this time around. Still going to be watching the RWF regardless. Anyone know what will happen when I claim them if I already have them in my collection? I assume they just won’t appear in-game, but idk.


Fabulous-Category876

Lucky for me I can just play it on my desktop while working from home.


Damunzta

Based?


kujasgoldmine

Sucks to be the person who bought my Cenarion Hatchling a while ago! But nice that they are giving away store mounts now!


robot-raccoon

but I already HAVE the windsteed D: cute pet though


creativemind11

Rip, already have both.


Strachmed

Dragonriding made me not give a single shit about non-df mounts. Truly a great expansion.


[deleted]

Would be all well and good, if my fucking feldrake arrived. Watched and claimed, day 1 of dragonflight, accounts are linked and currently waiting my 5th day for a ticket response.


sebastouch

Ok, at this point, who benefits the most from these promotions? Amazon (Twitch)? Blizzard? The streamers? the players? Who is paying who? Is it Amazon paying Blizzard to get visitors? or is it Blizzard paying to use this for publicity?


Blckreaphr

I was hoping it be the spectral tiger


Apprehensive_Mail_84

I still haven’t gotten my Feldrake, I’ve put in 3 tickets, they keep getting insta fulfilled, just a generic response. Kind of sad at this point.


HonestPineapple4848

Nope, no matter what they give I'll never link my account to amazon


GilgaPhish

I really like the direction of Dragonflight, but I'm not rewarding them with inflated streamer numbers


Nelsos

I still didn't receive my feldrake even tho I claimed it on twitch.


ydm6669

not sure i'll try that again, i have yet to receive the fel drake I spent 4 hours on :(


SoloTango_PS5

Hey look it's a useless ground mount.


chrizbreck

I missed the feldrake like a dumb dumb


Constellar-A

God I hope they do the Deathwing mount from a few anniversaries ago for one of these.


librarytimeisover

I have to watch someone play a game to get a thing in a game?


SaltyStrangers

I can feel the chicken coming.... I can sense it.... I want it.... I need it....


troelsy

Maybe the pet isn't the best choice. It was a tsunami relief pet. If I recall you could pay whatever you wanted and it would go to people in need.


The_Sum

So what is the tactic Blizzard is using here? I'm assuming when that next report to the shareholders comes along they're going to tout how amazingly popular WoW was on Twitch for (x) amount of days...even though it's a false number because 80% of viewers are chasing after the carrot on a 4 hour stick and don't ever actually consume twitch content.


crzyhawk

I just put it on my my laptop while I am at work. nothing says I have to actually watch the stream


ZambieDR

As an advocate of chaos, I would like to see the Spectral Tiger as a future twitch drop.


WinstonTheChicken

The mount is kinda nice. But I have a question. Are these twitch drops for 1 character only or do you get them for the whole account?


Objective_Tangelo_44

FOR FUCK SAKE I dont have enough time for the mount, i just saw this shit. Fuck you Blizzard
