The split in opinion does make sense to me. If you were looking for free stuff, that experience probably wasn't the best for you today due to some issues we had with Twitch Drops. Codes worked just fine as they were single redemptions and meant to add 2 more people to the 10 we normally give things away to.
However, in my opinion, I felt we revealed some pretty cool things and pulled the curtain back a bit on the future of the contest. So people that like to know what's happening with the Contest after our long silence, I would imagine enjoyed the info drop.
So the fact that the codes were "meant to add 2 more people to the 10 we normally give things away to" was not how the codes were marketed, at all. Promo codes, even hidden ones, have never been so restricted. To make them a key component of your livestream advertising while also not explaining (1) the reward itself or (2) its incredible restriction, you caused many people to just stare at various parts of the screen for absolutely nothing. If I had known it was such a limited reward, I would have spent my time doing something else. I am mad that I wasted an hour on this.
Also, you did not "reveal[] some pretty cool things and pull[] the curtain back a bit." Yes, you previewed that you would be releasing new 7* champs in deals. Yes, you suggested (but did not promise nor describe with any meaningful accuracy) the upcoming Valiant EQ or side quest changes. At best, you told viewers that they would have a chance to buy more things in the future for content that is being contemplated but not designed (PS on this front, the idea of tying Valiant EQ to prestige is one of the worst ideas I've heard). You need to better temper what the players become excited about. We want to know how you're going to fix bugs so that the game isn't a frustrating experience every day. We want to know what new content we can enjoy. We want a better gameplay experience than what we currently have.
It's totally fine that these problems can't be solved overnight or in a single livestream. But please, don't patronize us by serving us a bad product, and then insist to us that we're wrong and it's actually outstanding.
If you even paid attention to the last livestream they did say they were going to be bringing back the promo codes but it was only going to be available for a limited amount of ppl and would be like it was for decembers they also said at the beginning of the stream today it will be limited i understand ppl are upset with the state of the game but to lie and act like they didnt warn us ahead of time is just wrong
Something being "limited" isn't the same as being "2 people." And even if they said it at the beginning of the stream today (which was the first time this idea was presented, you're wrong that they discussed it earlier, even December's wasn't anything like this because that was unlimited), they didn't say it on the marketing materials, so that means they baited and switched us. That's even worse than just being vague. Don't pretend they were upfront, if they were, the forums wouldn't be flooded with rageposts about this.
By my comment mentioning December i ment like detective work to find it limited could mean whatever they want it to be if they wanted it to be 2 then its 2 if they wanted it to be 10 or 20 then it could have been that amount as well there is no set number it had to be to be considered limited just alot of cry babys who werent paying attention thats all that complaining means

If I live to be a thousand, game forums will never make sense to me. I have a greater understanding of Klingon culture, and I've been participating in game forums since they were hopping around Fidonet during the late 80s.

Give me a break.
One: the forums are not flooded with complaints about this.
Two: saying the forums are full of complaints so the complaints must be valid is hilarious, on days when I actually have a sense of humor. This is not one of those days.
Definitely understand the folks upset by the issue with drops and we will make that right soon. Glad that despite the issues with the drops it seems like the content side was perhaps an improvement from some of our previous ones. Gonna keep an eye on this and keep collecting the feedback for future streams.
Just put the drops in a promo code every time, this was good 👍
No more codes, no more drops, no more free stuff. Problem solved. Say it on stream "BringPopcorn came out with this idea and its great blame him' I will be perfectly fine with it. Even make a slide with it for the end of each stream

That's for crappy amateur microwave popcorn, I only use my kettle 😑

Wha?! You cook popcorn in a kettle? That’s weird man, pretty sure kettles are for boiling water only.

I enjoyed the info which is mostly what I'm looking for when deciding to watch a stream. Even if some of those things aren't for me, I'm ok as long as I understand what's coming. Good luck on future streams. 👍🏻

Just because you're terminally on the forums reading every page and every comment doesn't mean the front page wasn't replete with critiques about the stream and drops after it finished. There were multiple threads, and each had pages of comments. Though it wouldn't surprise me if you just read your own 20k comments repeatedly instead of trying to understand what others are saying.
Also, never said complaints were valid. I said that the quantity of rageposts was an indication that they were not clear. Put differently, if Kabam was clear on the front end about how the rewards would work, the sheer amount of outrage would have been less.
Next time I encourage you to read what the person says instead of what you thought I said.
I know, I’m just saying that this stream is far from the worst one this year. The only real problem with it was the issues with Twitch, other than that I thought it was fine.

This was the best stream because we geting info from the start not like earlier streams 50minutes not funny jokes and talking **** and get info in last 5 minutes
We got so much info and after the last couple months feeling very stale I am excited about the future of the game. Imo it's the best stream we have had in a while.

Thanks @KabamDORK and @KabamPinwheel
But, I will be sincere that I didnt watch , i needed to go to a place this morning and returned only almost at 2:45 pm , Brazil time.
I always watch the Live (or if its pre recorded)
But after that I watched the recorded video on Twitch and was one of the best lives
Thanks Kabam 🥳
