Twitch Drops Frequently Asked Questions

Q. Do I need to own an edition of Diablo IV or Vessel of Hatred to receive the Twitch Drops?

A. No, owning an edition of Diablo IV or Vessel of Hatred is not required to gain progress towards and earn Twitch Drops.

Q. How do I link my Battle.net and Twitch account?

A. Sign into your Battle.net account here and click the Connect link for Twitch, then follow the instructions to sign-in and link your Twitch account to Battle.net.

Q. What devices can I use to earn and claim drops?

A. You can earn and claim drops using your PC or Mac web browser or on the Twitch app for Android or iOS. Twitch apps on game consoles, smart TVs, and other TV apps do not support drops.

Q. Do I need to watch the same channel the entire time to earn my drops?

A. No, you can earn progress towards a drop from watching any eligible channel in the Diablo IV category on Twitch. For example, you can watch half an hour on one channel and then switch to another channel without losing your progress. Progress cannot be earned faster by watching more than one channel at a time. Streams played in the background or with inactive tabs will not count towards the hours watched criteria.

Q. Will I receive my Twitch Drops rewards in-game automatically?

A. No. You must claim the drop on the channel you’re watching or in the Drops Inventory menu on Twitch.

Q. Do Twitch Drop rewards expire?

A. Earned Twitch Drop rewards will expire 7 days after they’ve been claimed if a Battle.net account has not been linked.

Q. As a streamer, how do I get Twitch Drops on my channel?

A. All you need to do is make sure your Twitch and Battle.net accounts are linked, and that you’re opted into Drops (see Drops Streamer Home).

Comment by Kalocyjim24Crazy to me that they give out some of the most dull and uninspired twitch drops when announcing and covering the next season.

Why not give out a crazy sweet pair of wings? You'd 100% get waaaay more people watching it if the twitch drop was cool.Comment by BetterThanNoOneYay, can't wait for the new world boss Azmodan. Because of the "Resilient" mechanic (a buff that world bosses have that reduces damage taken by up to 99%), world bosses are not what you think. You THINK when you see them that "oh boy, an epic boss fight, where me and others team up to fight and win!"

But in reality, it's just a constant lag-fest. This game's servers cannot handle all of the combat mathematical calculations, and so world boss fights turn into a lag-fest for several minutes. You end up feeling "trapped" fighting the boss, having lost interest in the first 3 seconds when you realized your attacks are doing like 1/100th of their normal damage. And because no attacks deal any real damage on world bosses, the game gets bogged down with so many spells, abilities, buffs, debuffs, and other things the game's servers must calculate. All of this adds up to being STUCK fighting a world boss while lagging horrendously. The lag sometimes subsides when a few players get killed and have to respawn, but since you can infinitely respawn, the players just rez and start attacking again, and the lag comes back.

This game is such a joke man. Such a joke.Comment by RahruYay, can't wait for the new world boss Azmodan.
