[2021] Warframe Twitch Drops 2.0: Coming February 16th!

Hello Tenno!

Back in 2017 we launched Warframe Twitch Drops and made continual back-end changes for stability, variety, and overall fixing. Now in 2021 we’re excited to launch Warframe Twitch Drops 2.0 - a more user friendly Drop experience!

A VERY IMPORTANT NOTE: Everyone must relink their Twitch Account to their Warframe Account to be eligible for Twitch Drops 2.0. Follow these easy steps below to unlink/relink:

• Log into the correct Twitch account at https://www.twitch.tv/ that you use to watch Warframe streams
• Unlink Warframe to Twitch by clicking https://www.warframe.com/twitch/unlink_action 
• Go to https://www.twitch.tv/settings/connections, then find Warframe listed under OTHER CONNECTIONS, click DISCONNECT and then confirm by clicking Yes, Disconnect

• Log into https://www.warframe.com/ with the desired account/platform to wish to receive the drop on
• Go to https://www.warframe.com/user and click the ‘LINK ACCOUNT'

• Verify both Twitch is linked by checking https://www.twitch.tv/settings/connections and make sure Warframe is listed in the "OTHER CONNECTIONS" section
• Verify the Warframe side by checking https://www.warframe.com/user (it should say "Linked to USERNAME") and display your Twitch username
• You’re all set!

 

What you can expect from Warframe Twitch Drops 2.0:

Upon entering the stream while a drop is active, you’ll be greeted with a chat message at the top of the chat window which can be expanded to see more details about the drop at a glance.

By clicking your Twitch icon in the top right, you’ll see a progression bar depicting how close you are towards claiming the Twitch Drop. Clicking the drop will take you to the Drops main page where a more detailed description of the Warframe Twitch Drop can be read.

Once you have met the Twitch Drop criteria (30 minute watch time, etc) a popup in the chat window will appear for you to manually claim your Drop. 

IF you miss this popup and don’t claim it within chat, you can go into your Twitch Inventory section and it will be waiting there for you to claim: https://www.twitch.tv/drops/inventory  

 

You must manually claim the Twitch Drop for it to be delivered.

 

Once claimed, the Twitch Drop may take 5-10 minutes to be delivered to your linked Warframe account. Once delivered, the familiar face of Teshin will greet you in your in-game Inbox.

That’s it! Warframe Twitch Drops 2.0 will debut this Tuesday, February 16th during our Working From Home Community Stream. 

Thanks!

Should we relink asap or is it best to wait until closer to Tuesday, maybe after Monday's stream?

Best to relink ASAP so you're ready for Tuesday!

Interesting. Are there advantages to this change? Not trying to be critical, just curious.

It's a MUCH more user friendly experience. You see exact % progress towards the drops - alleviating the 'did I get it yet?' question.

There will be some growing pains no doubt, but it has great changes for transparency that our old system lacked.

How long will it stay in your Twitch inventory if you miss the manual pick

Drops in your Twitch Inventory don't expire. They'll be there waiting until you eventually claim!

If we relink now, and you start using 2.0 Tuesday, what happens on Monday's stream?

Monday is a holiday for us meaning no stream that day.

"Error Occurred - Drop was not claimed."

this is rather frustrating.... Warframe account shows linked to proper Twitch account. Twitch shows proper connection to Warframe. The drop shows up in my drop inventory, but clicking the button gives the above error message.

We have contacted Twitch to investigate further. I'll update here when I get an answer.
