As the title states, unfortunately this is a big issue!
The Twitch event started Wednesday Jan 19 @10pm, and ends Monday Jan 31st @ 7am.
The "regular drops" as I'll call them were easy enough to obtain as there were many choices in live streamers with drops activated.
Regular Drops: Autumn Leaves Color Theme, Arrows Emblem, Galley Trophy, THQ Nordic Trophy, Treasure Chest Trophy, Dark Rose Color Theme, Imperial Eagle, Speculator Trophy.
Below is where the issues lie.
Twitch Streamers:
CohhCarnage -First played - 24 Jan. Last played - 25 Jan.
Drops: Cold Steel Color Theme, Wings Emblem.
Played a total of 8hrs. They no longer have Expeditions Rome on their stream schedule and expressed that they are no longer playing. They also have been playing ELEX and Shadow Warrior 1 & 2. They constantly ignore requests to play Exp:Rome when asked what game to play with the free time they have.
BurkeBlack - First played - 20 Jan. Last played - 24 Jan.
Drops: Skull and Bones Emblem, Burkeblack Color Theme.
Played a total of 20hrs (He played for 9hrs a month before release and the event) taking out his 3hrs of cooking show and hour of just chatting on screen and alt tabbing out to play another game. They no longer have Expeditions Rome on their stream schedule and expressed that they are no longer playing.
BikeMan - First played - 20 Jan. Last played - 25 Jan.
Drops: Bikeman Color Theme, Gladiator Emblem.
Played a total of 31hrs (He played for 7hrs 41m a month before release and the event) They no longer have Expeditions Rome on their stream schedule.
Cringer - First played - 20 Jan. Last played - Currently live.
Drops: Cringer Color Theme, Canis Rex Emblem.
Played a total of 72hrs and going. He is currently streaming Exp: Rome as I type this. Unfortunately he takes weekends off for those who missed it.
So, as you can see there is a huge inconsistency with the chosen players and their time committed to the game and the event. There is less than 3 days left of play time and three out of the four do not have it on their schedules and two have said in their live streams that they are no longer playing because other games have their interest. One has directly ignored chat requests to play it even when he asks chat what he should play. This is very unnerving to tie rewards like this to a game when the some of the people chosen to broadcast your game don't even play long enough to complete the time requirements for the event. Yes, I know people have lives and other commitments. But, when they are labeled as a "special" or "sponsored" streamer they should put in the effort to promote the game.
On a side note I love the game!
I got into because of the Twitch event and watching Cringer's stream. Sadly the Twitch event and rewards could've been handled better.
