  • So to earn the pack we just watch streams in which they play in the arena?

  • @foxthephoenix5 That sounds like the plan... You then get a counter in your Mixer profile so you can keep track of how many sessions you have watched.

  • @musicmee Thank you, This is really cool.

  • So @Musicmee, let me get this straight?
    This is essentially just another mixpot style give away except it's divided across 30 streams?

  • I think I've already watched over 30 from the Dev stream in Berlin! :D
    That was on Twitch though. :P
    I already have the 6 pack, but I know someone special that still wants those items. I shall pass it on.

  • @musicmee thanx I love getting in game cosmetics 😆😆

  • While supplies last :D

    Ooh thanks for highlighting that - I had missed that it was only active for ~5 days!

  • 30 different streams? Or 1 stream 30 games? Thanks for the information.

  • @arsigi Must be a small shipment from the outpost... Don't miss out on this limited offer!

  • Can we please get something other than the obsidian stuff on these giveaways now. I think the obsidian still should have been retired last year and every year they should be a new set but you give away but once you've missed it it's gone

  • @musicmee nice mate thanks for that

  • So just watch 30 full matchs

  • @lizalaroo Are the Rare devs able to put a stop to Microsoft doing this?

    Jumping through hoops on this level will end in riots when there aren't enough DIGITAL items to go around.

    Having to watch over 10 hours (potentially up to 30) of video will severely impact my internet speed. That means no playing in crews until I finish this promotion. Let me reiterate; I cannot play all that the update offers because Microsoft is pulling this nonsense.

    You have to go to a specific page to find out that there are only 145,000 units. The initial blurb on twitter has language that suggests they aren't limited (a repeated theme). This is in bad taste and faith. If you didn't win the promotional items, they expect you to try again maybe if they ever offer the same promotion again. After the ebon flintflock promotions, I experienced people getting beyond upset and leaving the game when they couldn't complete their collections.

  • @kasch-s-kunning I don't see how a digital good is limited supply. That is just dumb.

  • @flying-poopla It sure is. The main write up for the promotion hides the true details. https://blog.mixer.com/2019/04/24/mixer-loot-sea-of-thieves-free-offer-terms/ shows the 145,000 limit.

  • @kasch-s-kunning I don’t think so as it’s something Mixer is hosting. I guess Mixer Loot will run along the lines of Xbox Mixpot, just another way to get DLC.

  • @Musicmee will seaofthieves be hosting these arena matches or what channel

  • @musicmee small shipment so what if I watch 30 battles and dont get anything? I'll be so upset

  • 12 hours watching (if the streams start when the match starts); that's way too much for 5 days and 16 hours this runs.

  • Oooh can't wait to see what Jon uses for giveaway now, since everyone can have this easily.

  • I do appreciate the chance to get the pieces I've missed out on but I do want to say that All this is, is a way for mixer to say "oh look how great we are, we got x amount of people to stay on our streams for x amount of time due to rewards blah blah blah"...

    I think the whole thing is ridiculous (even though yes I will put mixer on in the background and not pay attention to it). SOT devs should be giving out these freebies as reward for PLAYING the game, not WATCHING it.

    Not sure of how the whole business is delt with but I wish the devs would stop this from happening. People are anxiously waiting to PLAY this new update and some are going to have to put it off until they WATCH 30 times? BS imo.

    Can anyone confirm if you join a stream with like 5 mins left do you get credit for watching the entire arena match ?

  • @vapor1080 Ahoy matey!

    This is just a Mixer thing, they will be over time offering more and more MixLoot from other games for meeting other objectives. This is just something to work towards and test the waters (pardon the pun)

    I personally can't wait to see what other promotional items, from other games, they may offer in future!

  • its not really made clear how this works.
    how does mixer know i am watching arena rather than adventure? do i need to watch an official channel, or can i watch just anybody streaming arena?

  • So watch people playing Sea of thieves rather than playing it myself?

    I think I will pass even though I want the Eye of Reach

  • I’m curious too. What channel do we need to watch?

  • @yourenowontv Ahoy matey!

    You can watch any channel... Mixer knows when the streamer you are watching is playing Sea of Thieves: Arena.

  • @musicmee cool thanks ✌️😎🏴‍☠️

  • It’s going to super early in the morning (2am) to try and find someone playing an Arena match so I’ll have to try in the morning when I wake up and hope all the skins haven’t gone.

  • i dont get it. how bout we incentivize people to watch others play instead of play themselves. 30 matches? thats a lot. i dont wanna sit through 30 other matches when i could just participate in 30 myself..

  • My understanding is that watching others generates advertising revenue so prizes can be offered. Playing when no-one can watch generates no income and therefore has little to no incentive to give away anything from a company.

    maybe watch your own stream? im not sure if it it will count, but im going to try :)

  • Is this its own channel like Hypezone where they go to the near end of a match for you to watch?
    I was streaming Apex Legends when Hypezone joined my stream depositing 800 people into my chat where they watched me win the game. Then a message came up saying its time to go to the next stream, then they were gone.

  • My understanding is that Mixer now has the ability to track what you are watching, so that they will 'know' you have watched an Arena match regardless of whose stream/channel it is on.

    My only question is, is there a way for us to see how many matches we have watched and gotten 'credit' for? I highly doubt it, but worth a shot. :P

    Edit: shame on me for not actually reading the posting! There is indeed a way to track your progress, you click on the button I indicated with a red arrow:
