PSA: Twitch Drops Generic Achievement Campaign

Tenno!

If you're still after the 2 Exclusive Twitch Drops campaigns, you're fine (the Totem + the Sigil).

If you're after the generic Achievement drops, we've had to end this campaign early. The toll it took on our database was not small. over 25% of our infrastructure at a given moment was going toward inbox distribution of drops. To make matters worse, people were using third party tools to re-open previously patched multi-view issues.

Thank you all for joining for the launch of this crazy ambitious drops campaign - more refined campaigns to come in the future.

Now time for me to open my hundreds of inbox messages :)

Cheers!

Honestly hope this doesn't start up again. Going to leave my honest opinion here. It had it's glory bringing people into the twitch directory, but i believe it was for all the wrong reasons. Inflating view counts but for the wrong reasons. Great idea, executed poorly

More campaigns? Oh no

more refined campaigns

 

so hopefully not non WF partners making 8-like 20 alt accounts and spamming every easy achievement for more views, causing the system to become so backed up that everything crashes lol

My man. Thank you for this. 

I completely agree. People only open windows for rewards and do not actually watch the stream. I did it too to most speedrun achievement streams.

Thanks for the effort from the twitch streamers and all the DE staff for putting it together. Glad to here it will return at some point in a refined manner.

Here's an idea for a campaign: Have it be something that you DO in the game, not that involves people with better internet connections getting more rewards than people with bad internet connections.

In short: Games are about playing, not about watching other people play - in out-of-focus tabs on your home computer while you're at work.

I'm not usually one to get Salty ... But like ~ I honestly don't it's ending early because literally all I got was fireworks and latron BPs ... that's it
So what was the point ~ I basically got nothing from the entire campaign

This event was pretty bad in terms of how it was so easily game-able. Perhaps next time, drops should be tied to breaking Kuva Siphons, opening Relics or completing bounties. The achievement hunting event was pretty bad as people simply made new accounts, and it didn't frame the game in a good light either.

Hopefully improvements will be made for future events like these!

(Also next time maybe auto-delete the messages in like, 2 minutes after opening? Perhaps it's a good time to PURGE all that mail)

Thanks for this great campaign. I think you hit it right with "refined" for the future. In the end this was lots of fireworks and some really strange drop behaviors (not that I complain everything was free in the end).

The most positive thing I think is the awareness it created on Twitch and that lots of small streamers really got viewer numbers because they did the achievement runs.

So thanks to all the streamers who raised the game to new heights on the Twitch lists and DE for launching the campaign.

it... would have really made sense to replace the combined Fireworks Chance with literally nothing - nobody wanted them and they're not useful anyways, and that would have taken care of most of the Database spam...

tl;dr having it be a Chance to only get useful things from the setup Pool, would massively reduce the amount of Database spam, if something like this is decided to be done in the future.

 

i also agree that perhaps tied to Achievements wasn't the most ideal method, and would be better off aimed towards completing 'hard' Missions, or Et Cetera. yno, things that you'd be doing normally when playing the game. but aiming for some of the harder stuff to make it a bit more interesting for the Content Creators.
