Twitch Stream drops bug or bad RNG?

Every five minutes of view time you'll have a 1.5% chance to receive one of the prizes which means it would take an average of 5.5 hours of view time to receive a Twitch Drop reward. However, depending on your luck, you could receive one much sooner! Each microtransaction has its own drop rate which will dictate which cosmetic effect you'll receive if you're awarded a drop.

Like many others I am on day 2 of stream, looking at 16 hours, and zero drops
- POE is linked to twitch
- I have been streaming since the start day 1&2
- Ad-Block is disabled since day 2 (a Reddit Suggestion)
- Amazon Primed Subbed the stream Day 1
- Stream shows drops are enabled

Somewhere else someone posted some math showing each day of full viewing you had a 24% chance to not get anything (so if that is correct then I am just in that 24% range for both days)

So just wanted to check in and see if this was working as intended - Thanks!

I'm on 16 hours stream time 0 drops as well. There's no way this is functioning correctly.
Watched 2 days whole streams - 0 drops.
The worst desicion to make them random.
Ofc, I understood that it was to bring viewers to whole Exilecon broadcast, but at least you could make 1 guaranteed reward for all.
I wish next time it will be more fair and elobarated.

Yep, same here. Checked, double-checked everything, accounts were connected. Heaps of people reporting the same in global chat, hardly anybody saying they got anything from this.

i watched the whole week end, and i got nothing

i'm pretty sure they made mistake in their SQL query for accounts, so only people who linked before x months..

I am not mad about drops (obviously it would have been cool if it worked)- but my impression (which may have been false) from the initial GGG post was that after (2) full days I would have been very unlikely to have not seen a single drop -- seeing multiple people posting similar results only makes me want to question if something went wrong from a technical standpoint

If the math truly was that 86% of people should see (1) drop per streaming day, then the other 24% would see none (and this doesn't account for single accounts getting multiple rewards which would further skew the numbers)

I did complete both streaming days start to finish with 0 drops, I am not sure if additional chances are available tomorrow during the Twitch After Party

For everyone who watched the full 16 hours and didn't get a drop, just wondering how many have twitch prime vs regular twitch. Seems like the wording on the twitch prime linkage is different from regular twitch drop wording. Possibly this is an issue?
Also watched the entire stream both days and received nothing... Didn't think I'd care either way, but I'm realizing I'm pretty disappointed at the fact some people got drops on both days while others of us got nothing for watching it religiously.

:(
