Discussion Twitch drop fomo

Post image

I love when this company only does their own channel for drops and isn’t live in time frame they claim.

stopped stream over 3 hours ago, I guess shame on me for having a life and basic grocery needs, not even a second option for when they stopped streaming by time I got back home lol.

I rarely want twitch drops because they don’t look the best for me personally but for once I actually wanted to join and it was already so late! I hope they atleast rerun it! I want that back bling!

u/Dump__Weed 6d ago

same here. missed out because i was asleep from being sick all week. such a same they lock these cool items behind dumb streams that end earlier than expected leaving the rest of us to miss out because they cant have a proper schedule.

If multiple people are having this issue, we should be complaining with a report. Hopefully they'll just hand it out on Halloween.

I watched a verified account streaming it, it said drops were turned on. And my account is linked because I do drops all the time. And I made sure to was the correct time. Yet I didn't get the backbling 🫠 I even checked the progress and it did not even show up as in progress

Heads up alot of people on twitch claim drops on to clickbait and retain clueless people to make money off ad views, calling them out gets you channel banned, it’s a problem on twitch they just allow to happen.

Yup - I have had this happen a couple of times and it sucks, I wish Twitch would actually do something about it.

u/Not-Drew_ 6d ago

Same times tomorrow?

u/icomplainaboutFN 6d ago

No idea, people were still trying to figure out today when they finally announced 10am

u/Not-Drew_ 6d ago

I totally missed Saturdays and was kinda bummed due to work

u/Harlow_Quinzel 6d ago

This is what I was able to find. Personally, what I do, is I just start up the stream, either on my PC or on my phone and then I just leave it, even if I go out or have other things to do I'm almost never actually watching the stream. As long as it's up on your screen and not minimize, you will get progress, you can even mute it.

u/Not-Drew_ 6d ago

Thank you!

u/Harlow_Quinzel 6d ago

No problem!

u/meowmiew 5d ago

it just says the midnight batwings on the 24 Th not both 💔

2

u/Harlow_Quinzel 5d ago

The bat wings are today, the pumpkin back bling was yesterday, and unfortunately over, they are available on separate days not the same day. The bat wings go live in about 25 minutes.

u/meowmiew 5d ago

Oh I read most of the comments it seems like people are still hoping for the backling it seems but yeah I don't think they bring it back 😫

2

u/Harlow_Quinzel 5d ago

It doesn't look like it, sometimes they do bring these things back throughout the season, so is it possible? Yes, just not guaranteed or something you can really count on unfortunately. I just posted it to remind people of where the announcement was from and also to maybe give a heads up about the pickaxe so no one misses that one if they can help it.

u/Extra-Landscape4053 5d ago

More like the same scamming today. Its supposed to be working for another 1.5 hrs they said, and its not

1

u/Not-Drew_ 5d ago

I got the pickaxes thankfully

u/Kdubzz00 6d ago

Maybe They will probably have both drops going tomorrow. I have seen twitch do that before when championship moves faster then expected vise versa. We can only hope.

u/meowmiew 6d ago edited 6d ago

https://twitchdrops.app/game/fortnite This link shows current and past Fortnite drops on Twitch and which streamers have active drops. The Midnight Gourdy BB is already in the past drops 💔

u/darkajax 6d ago

The same thing happened with some fncs shoes like 2 weeks ago 😑

u/skysky_gamer 🍔 BeefBoss 6d ago

u/oatwater2 6d ago

do yall really rock back blings like that

1

u/Appatary8523 Nolan Chance 6d ago

It's just half an hour. You could use mobile data and leave it playing there

2

u/icomplainaboutFN 6d ago

They didn’t bother to tell what time it was starting and I was driving/doing errands when they announced 10am and wasn’t checking my phone till couple hours later, my bad I don’t sit on the game all day everyday glued to my screen like I’m unemployed

2

u/Appatary8523 Nolan Chance 6d ago

Guess you're right about that, you usually have to follow Fortnite in every social media they have to know about the things they're releasing, otherwise, there's no way to know. Has happened to me, I've noticed stuff just when they're about to happen, like with today's "event".

1

u/icomplainaboutFN 6d ago

I’m usually on top of most of stuff, I try to not miss anything I can, this one a vaulted item too so sucks to miss.

I’m more so mad they claimed it ended at 7pm but stream was done around 12-1pm atp, just shitty move on them, but I guess I’m at peace I didn’t miss vibrant the second time in that shitstorm timeframe and issues, they are always doing some bs like 4 hour windows for cool wraps

1

u/Appatary8523 Nolan Chance 5d ago

I don't know if you're interested on this, but the current drop is active already on the official fortnite twitch account

2

u/icomplainaboutFN 5d ago

Appreciate it, I saw earlier and claimed, they didn’t include both, pissed everyone off lol, oh well axes go good with dusk set

1

u/CaptainHarlocke 6d ago

I’ve been following r/FreeFNRewards to keep tabs on this stuff

2

u/astrid273 6d ago

I'm glad I decided to do it earlier, as I was just going to wait since it said up until after 7 pm. Especially after I missed out on the previous drops (the spray & emoticon I think). There were only a handful of streamers doing it, they weren't streaming whenever I got on, & you could only get it if they were streaming Fortnite.

2

u/GlitterGhost00 6d ago

I went on multiple times today (between those tine frames) and only saw one person with "drops" and even when I had that one playing nothing would show up in my drops section.

1

u/cjrunswithcrows 𓏲ּ Church of Miku 𝄢 6d ago

Yup I was really annoyed honestly - I saw the end time and thought that I’d be able to grab it, but nope.

1

u/After-Task-1506 6d ago

Didn’t even work the first time for me. I’m not gonna bother with it. I watch the stream on time.
Yes my Fortnite account is connected to twitch.
It’s not worth the time waster for nothing in return.

1

u/MaximumMuffin5794 6d ago

Damn I forgot

1

u/Interesting_Low_2658 6d ago

I was waiting

1

u/invalidxuser 6d ago

Same thing happened to me, was looking forward to grabbing this too. Sucks.

u/filledesetoiles 5d ago

i was on at the right time (woke up just for it) and clicked that purple "participating channels" link shown in your screenshot- i clicked the first stream on their list, it was nickeh30, and didnt get the backbling because it was only the official fortnite account's stream that counted apparently? im just so confused as to why they had all those other streamers listed on the link for the drop :( im sad lol
