Promo codes

So, a new promo code came out for people who watched you guys twitch live stream. I just want to ask if it's going to continue to be like this, missing out because we don't want to watch the live(p.s you guys blocked me anyways because I said something you didn't agree with or maybe it was unsavory I can't remember honestly). Like is it going to be like this with discord too?, like am I going to have to make a discord just so I don't miss out. If so that's really crazy honestly, forcing your customers to subscribe/watch your Pages so they can grow is a low blow

I totally get it. Miike went to Costco earlier in the week and he got free samples. And I didn't go, so I didn't get any. How ridiculous is that, eh? How does Costco expect me to get their free samples, am I expected to actually go to their store location? [wink]

MrSakuragi

Agreed. Pages should grow without anyone subscribing. Shame on discord, twitch and twitter.

Ironside47

The counter argument of course is that some people live in different time zones so watching Twitch live is a tad inconvenient.

MrSakuragi

That is why they’re releasing the code a 2nd time in a few days.

Teleus

Right - it is in the middle of a work day every time so I watch it after work.

But luckily for you Costco is going out of their way to make sure you get your own set of the same great free samples in a few days if you go. They're great for doing that and not keeping it exclusive

Kabam Miike

Yes, if you want to get Promo Codes, which are made to reward people for following our other channels and being a part of the community, you're going to need to watch those streams and follow those channels. If you don't want to do that, then you can continue playing the game exactly as you do now. Nothing is being taken from you if you don't want to get these bonuses.

Teleus

Sure, but if you go now you can still get the samples. If I watch the stream now, I can’t. Ultimately, this discourages interactions on twitch for those who can’t make the live broadcast as the written summaries are much faster to consume after the fact. And maybe that doesn’t matter - maybe only live stuff matters to twitch’s algorithm.

This feels like the least professional response I've read from you. Normally you write in a manner to show an example of a situation without being passive aggressive.

Cry more

But if you live in Australia, as I do, the twitch event is broadcast at 2am my time.

So the message here is ‘if you live in a different time zone tough luck’

How Kabam thinks this is a winning marketing strategy is beyond me.

Vikings27

Not crying, I don't care about the stream or the rewards. Just pointing out what seems to be an out of character response from the communities favorite kabam forum employee.

MrSakuragi

It’s been a long week, the poolies event has gotten the best of all of us.

ahmynuts

You rang?

Jock_66

What about the people entered the code and nothing has showed up in game to claim

Sw0rdMaster

I think the problem is in the use of word "everybodywins" which mislead players thinking it includes them, when in actual fact only the live audience are supposed to win.

If you went with something else like liveaudiencewins, it would had a better outcome.

Jez25

U r so right Jax.. but due to ur missing out and anger u can stop spending in costco or stop going to costco all together.. choice always in ur hands..

ahmynuts

Bro all you talk about is not playing MCOC anymore. Can you please just follow through already? We are all waiting

Oprah giveaway episode from years ago, meme’d over and over.

You get a car.
You get a car.
“Everyone” gets a car.

Obviously was only for those who were in the studio audience.
But since it was broadcast on tv, Oprah was technically talking to “everyone” who was watching, but she didn’t give me a car.

Jez25

Which word says that? Its clearly stated costco and am replying to Jax's statement..im sure u read well..

Sw0rdMaster

That's different, it wasn't broadcasted worldwide and she didn't provide a link for viewers to enter a code to win.

PT_99

What even was the rewards? Some random crystals which will only open 4 or 5* at best, stop with this FOMO.
It's not like Kabam gave away some massive must have rewards, sheesh.

Sw0rdMaster

Just 3 of those weekly crystals. Nothing to even complain about.

JollyHawk

I've come to realize that these are people who never were going to actually watch the stream in any form anyway.

If you just re-watched the stream you people would get an answer to your problem. But you have no interest in that. Just want free stuff, without having to do anything.

PT_99

True, like it's actually really hard to imagine that some people can feel so entitled. I don't watch streams because unfortunately I just can't spare 45 minutes and I won't get rewards, that's OKAY.

Like if you wanted those 3 crystals then you should've watches stream?
If it's timezone issue? Then Kabam did said that they will make code again live in some other stream and Twitter.

I'm always on side of players but Kabam is right on this one, so much crying for petty things.

I went to Costco at the right time to get the free samples, I did everything they asked of me so I'd get the free samples, Costco gave me a message that said I had received the free samples, but when I tried to pick them up... nothing happened. The free samples never showed up in my... errrr... Costco account. I then spent about 15 minutes checking and rechecking and making sure I had done everything correctly (I had) and that my login was correct (it was - I'd collected Costco's free Valiant daily sample earlier, and every day prior for weeks) and looking online to see if anyone else had the same problem (a few others had). The worst part is, I only went to Costco to get the free samples in the first place!

Let's hope Costco has decent customer support!

Have you considered the root cause of people not watching streams instead of trying to bribe people and punish those who don't?

Terra

Why do you consider this bribing and punishment?
3 of those crystals won't make or break your account.

bdawg923

It's clearly an issue since there's an uproar about it. I got my 3 crystals because someone shared the code with me. Im not watching a boring 1 hour stream in the middle of work. If they're not making or breaking anyone's account, then kabam could give out MORE THAN 1 PER WEEK for free. Clearly these are some of the best free crystals.
