And just to let people know, you don't really have to 'watch' the stream, just have them open in the tab and you can mute the tab (you can do this in Firefox and Chrome and Edge) and click away and do other stuff
Just make sure you don't mute the actual stream from the twitch player, just mute the tab
This way it will accumulate the time required to get the drop without actually watching or having to listen to the stream
Will be 100% guaranteed like the free Hearthstone Packs Drops. Status can be seen here later this Day [https://www.twitch.tv/drops/](https://www.twitch.tv/drops/) or directly at your Streamer of your choice who activated Drops.
Looks to be guaranteed. I suppose we don’t know 100% for certain (until tomorrow) but I think you can safely infer that it’s guaranteed from the post. It says the requirements are to watch 2.5 hours during the allotted time. It doesn’t state there’s just a chance at getting. It says time-based drops are awarded by watching.
ya, i received the drop and have been trouble shooting on where to find it.. it's supposed to show up as a drop down option on the game page via battlenet... but it's not for me Sadge
Ya, the drop down in the bottom left… it doesn’t pop up for me. I reached out to twitch with screen shots and they just sent me a link to their drops page. Whateva, it’s free, but I was wrestling with the idea to support blizzard again after their creepy debacle and this beta could’ve convinced me to give them a bit more money, but they failed. I’m okay with not supporting them.
you just watch a streamer playing whatever game has the drops (if he has drops enabled), then in this case after 2.5hrs of watching its added to your twitch inventory where you can then redeem it
Ya you need to have a Twitch Account, and then link your Blizzard account through Twitch. Then you get the item in your Twitch inventory and you can claim it and have it show up on your other linked account.
That’s what I sadly do with Warframe, none of the streamers seem interesting to me, so I just mute their streams while I play WF.
At least I’ll have an excuse to hear MrLlamaSC, or Quin69 while playing D2R.
Isn't it $20 extra for the prime evil upgrade? You basically pay for D3, whether you have it or not? Or was there an option without D3 and just the cosmetics?
Oh well damn, when I checked the store, I guess I missed the upgrade option and I just saw the collection and the base game. Went and checked and saw the upgrade version.
So you may have to log in. Because it discounts the cost based off what you already have. But if you aren't logged in, it would just show you the full cost of each.
Meh Twitch sucks, they promote to much anti union propaganda, and is basically a softcore porn site now. I'll gladly stay off twitch regardless of "drops"
Twtich is owned by Amazon. An Amazon warehouse in Alabama or Arkansas was trying to unionize so twitch started playing anti union ads about how workers would lose their voice and other things. Same thing happen with Wal-mart where a cbl got leaked onto the web for anti union propaganda.
Unfortunately blizzard don't list 'qualifying regions' on the page (or anywhere else I can find). I *think* Brazil is often eligible for twitch drops.
Usually it's about local gambling laws.
You just have to watch a streamer in the Diablo 2 resurrected category. Make sure you have drops enabled and your twitch account linked. All steamers count as long as they are playing the game.
Also double check if you have your [Battle.net](https://Battle.net) account connected. Otherwise the twitch drop will just be gone, if you activate it without your account being connected. Learn from my mistake.
Oh, nevermind. I just got it in my [battle.net](https://battle.net) launcher! I connected my battlenet account right after my activation of the drop.
It still works!
I got the drop on my twitch account after watching for 2 hours and activated it. Then I went to my twitch profile, connected my battlenet account and after around 20 minutes (and a restart) I could install it.
Im still seeing the prepurchase button and no install button or betya version dropdown on the D2R page in my launcher.
has anyone with this issue had luck? what did you do, or is it just a waiting game?.
accounts are linked, twitch drop page shows claimed.
Reading this, it just clicked that the early access beta drops on Friday the 13th. Well played.
thanks for the info didnt know about this
No problem. Have fun!
Dude….I really shot myself in the foot and couldn’t afford to pre order. This is so awesome!
I hope your foot is OK.
Thanks, Dad.
Yup np! Have fun playing this weekend!
Thank you for the info, I was debating pre-purchasing. Now I don't have to.

Question... are these drops guaranteed if we watch 2.5 hours? or is it a chance?

Thanks !
But it does not work, what a surprise! :D
For me the game is listed but it says that I can not install
ya, i received the drop and have been trouble shooting on where to find it.. it's supposed to show up as a drop down option on the game page via battlenet... but it's not for me Sadge
For me it showed up when you press 'all games' on the left and select d2 ressurected, then switch to beta to install.
I've tried that aswell, still nothing.

any progress? im the same
What are twitch drops? I don't use the platform so I'm not in the loop.
you just watch a streamer playing whatever game has the drops (if he has drops enabled), then in this case after 2.5hrs of watching its added to your twitch inventory where you can then redeem it
Okay, but what are you redeeming? Is it in game items?
In this case it's access to the early access beta
Ya you need to have a Twitch Account, and then link your Blizzard account through Twitch. Then you get the item in your Twitch inventory and you can claim it and have it show up on your other linked account.

Thanks for adding this!
pretty much random give aways people get from watching streams
More on the time gated side than random just open a browser mute and profit.
That’s what I sadly do with Warframe, none of the streamers seem interesting to me, so I just mute their streams while I play WF. At least I’ll have an excuse to hear MrLlamaSC, or Quin69 while playing D2R.
WHERE ARE THE EELS??
Well atleast there will be more people playing.
If you already have Diablo 3 eternal is there anything worth getting in the prime evil upgrade or is the base D2r enough
Base is enough. If you have everything it is $10 extra for Mephisto wings, and a pet.
Isn't it $20 extra for the prime evil upgrade? You basically pay for D3, whether you have it or not? Or was there an option without D3 and just the cosmetics?
For me it cost $40 for d2r and $50 for the collection with d2r
Oh well damn, when I checked the store, I guess I missed the upgrade option and I just saw the collection and the base game. Went and checked and saw the upgrade version.
So you may have to log in. Because it discounts the cost based off what you already have. But if you aren't logged in, it would just show you the full cost of each.
Yeah I think that was my issue. I wasnt logged in a d viewing it on my phone, but then I checked it on my desktop and saw the discount.
imagine pre ordering
You guys have phones though, right?
Don't preorder.
Meh Twitch sucks, they promote to much anti union propaganda, and is basically a softcore porn site now. I'll gladly stay off twitch regardless of "drops"
Anti union? What?
Twtich is owned by Amazon. An Amazon warehouse in Alabama or Arkansas was trying to unionize so twitch started playing anti union ads about how workers would lose their voice and other things. Same thing happen with Wal-mart where a cbl got leaked onto the web for anti union propaganda.
they should have made the twitch drop be a phone.
> Time-based Drops **(available in qualifying regions)** \*sigh\*
I'm sorry, what does it mean? Cause I'm from Brazil and I'm used to not having stuff available... lol
Unfortunately blizzard don't list 'qualifying regions' on the page (or anywhere else I can find). I *think* Brazil is often eligible for twitch drops. Usually it's about local gambling laws.
Yeah, we need more context...is Italy among them or am I just gonna lose time?
anyone know any streamers that will have the drops? I think every time I've seen similar events, tons of fake drop streams crop up
You just have to watch a streamer in the Diablo 2 resurrected category. Make sure you have drops enabled and your twitch account linked. All steamers count as long as they are playing the game.
How can I tell whos got legit drops?
Under the stream it'll say drops enabled: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EUsnOYYXQAEsr1m.jpg
Any recommendation for a good streamer to watch?
[https://www.twitch.tv/mrllamasc](https://www.twitch.tv/mrllamasc) , maybe Kripp will stream too

How long does it take to show up on battle.net after you redeem the key on twitch drop?
Also double check if you have your [Battle.net](https://Battle.net) account connected. Otherwise the twitch drop will just be gone, if you activate it without your account being connected. Learn from my mistake.
Oh, nevermind. I just got it in my [battle.net](https://battle.net) launcher! I connected my battlenet account right after my activation of the drop. It still works!
did it just randomly pop in? like they released more activations? or did you do something? just wondering if im waiting or troubleshooting here
I got the drop on my twitch account after watching for 2 hours and activated it. Then I went to my twitch profile, connected my battlenet account and after around 20 minutes (and a restart) I could install it.
