Idea for the whole promo code thing

I have an idea. I don’t know if it’s possible, but it’s an idea.

First 30 mins of a code going live, give out full rewards. In this case three crystals

31 - 60 mins, two crystals

61 mins - 24 hrs, one crystal

I know this probably isn’t a priority thing, just wanted to throw out an idea

No. How hard is it to understand that they're a bonus for people who go out of their way to watch the streams

The players who miss the first window and only get two crystals will complain that the first window is not longer.
The players who miss the second window and only get one crystal will complain that the second window is not longer.
The players who miss all three windows will complain and will get made fun of three times as much.
The forum servers cannot handle this additional load.

Realistically, we just need Twitch Drops, then we can do Promo Codes as a whole different thing.

That would be pretty cool actually

Do you need to reach a certain number of viewers or followers for Twitch drops?

I'm inclined to agree... it at least minimizes the possibility of people complaining.
If you don't show up, you don't get the freebies - pretty simple.

I'm sorry that we're such an unruly bunch, lol.

Side question... is that particularly difficult to implement? Are there any prerequisites for drops or is Twitch more apt to work with game devs? I genuinely have no idea and my Google-fu is poor today.

I've been suggesting this since this whole debacle started.....it gets eyes on the game, helps content creators and gives rewards for people tuning in....

Usually twitch drops give you rewards for watching streamers on twitch... 2 hrs gets you a reward, then 4-6-8-12 etc

Not sure how a twitch drop would stop people from using excuses like "I was at work not fair"...
Which was used way too much.

It wouldn’t, but it might prevent people not attending the stream from being rewarded at all

I would probably stream mcoc more than once a week if I could do twitch drops for people. Would be really nice to have.

This is just simple economics. You can never please everybody.

If Kabam really wants more people to watch what ever they are promoting, then they will pick the best time of the demographic that will maximise the views.

There are also several other ways to do it, one of which is to increase the incentive for more people to watch. To increase the incentive, better rewards can be given (like a random 6* crystal or an 6* upgrade crystal of some sort, maybe even half a 7*).

Advertise more that an amazing reward will be given at this time so that players are clear about that. Have in game notifications to make it more convenient.

If players think it is worth their while then they will make the time to watch no matter what. This is why the type of reward is important.

Will that reward be worthwhile to take a toilet break at work, or wake up at 2am to get it 😁

Simple -> overcomplicated

Now you're thinking like kabam! That's the spirit
