Mixer Mixpot - Earn the Obsidian Six Pack - Watching Arena!

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

@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!

@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.

@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.

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?

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

@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.

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

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:

1 down, 29 to go!
