Twitch Drops this weekend?

Hey all, I´ve noticed in this article 3 weeks ago that there is supposed to be Twitch event this weekend starting today with possible free Barrens packs according to this:

We’re planning to host category-wide Twitch Drops the weekend following the launch of Forged in the Barrens, April 2-4! We’ll provide full details for Forged in the Barrens Twitch Drops on launch day, but you can expect to earn Forged in the Barrens packs for watching a few hours of any Hearthstone channel on Twitch, provided you’ve linked your Battle.net and Twitch accounts. Stay tuned for more details!

Since there was no official word on this at the launch afaik, no schedule on Twitch, nor an article anywhere, I thought I might post this little reminder, if it´s still going to happen, so we won´t miss our precious packs.

    • Here is more information about those Twitch Drops: Forged in the Barrens is now live

      Watch any Hearthstone channel on Twitch between April 2 at 9:00 a.m. PT and April 4 at 8:00 p.m. PT for 2 hours to earn 1 Forged in the Barrens card pack! Watch for 2 more hours and you’ll receive another one! Twitch has updated how drops work on their end, and this is Hearthstone’s first time utilizing Twitch Drops since these changes were put into place. Here is what you need to know:

      • You’ll now be able to see your watch time progress towards any given drop.
      • You will no longer receive drop rewards automatically. You must instead claim the drop on the channel you’re watching or in the Drops Inventory menu on Twitch within the first 24 hours of earning it.
      • You will need to claim your first Twitch Drop reward BEFORE you can earn progress towards a second.
      • Twitch users can now earn rewards before linking their Battle.net account to Twitch. Rewards will expire 7 days after they’ve been claimed if a Battle.net account has not been linked.

      I am pretty sure Flux or another staff member will post this on the front page as an article. No worries, the Twitch drops have not started yet (still 5 more hours of waiting).

      Here is more info on how to manually claim the Twitch drops: Mission based drops

      • Thanks NebuchadnezzarHS, I´ve totally missed that news post. So this looks like we can earn a total of 6 Barrens packs in three days, sounds cool :) looks like this isn´t the case this time, whelp.

        P.S. For us in EU it should start at 18:00 CEST

        • I think it will be a maximum of 2 packs for the whole weekend though, but I would very much prefer your train of thought to become reality instead 😍

            Okay, maybe I´m a bit too optimistic with this one XD one can dream.

            EDIT: It´s on the main page now, thanks Flux, we can now close this thread :)

    Literally the most important change to be made here. Sometimes I tend to feel like the timer isn't moving at all because I accidentally minimized the window.
