It's going to go through the database, one account at a time, check to see if the account is eligible and, if it is, distribute an item. Whenever it gets to your account, if you're eligible, you'll get Ash Prime. If, at that point you are not eligible, you will not get Ash Prime and it will continue on to the next person. I don't know if the order is based on some account number key value, on alphabetical account names, alphabetical e-mails, account creation date, etc, so I can't say how long you have until your account is checked, but you only have the one opportunity. oh so if i logged into it like last month or so, does it still count or is it only 7 days? It might be a rip for me tho... HMMMMMMMM Edited July 9, 2018 by (PS4)TheBoostGamer_32 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amiserablerobot Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 (edited) il y a 9 minutes, Xkilla3 a dit : They could've given it to nobody. Yeah, that's what I assumed they were going to do in the first place, honestly. Not that hard to sweep the backlash under a rug. il y a 10 minutes, Zamte a dit : While I agree that it's not perfect, there's a very high cost to distributing to every account, given that they probably have ten abandoned accounts for every one that is actively played. If they set an arbitrary, longer cutoff like a month or six months instead, they'll get people who haven't played since last year but watched the stream and were inspired to come back. I know because I'm in a discord server with multiple such people. Unfortunately, unless they want to end up having this script run for two straight months to cover everyone they're going to have to pick some cutoff that excludes some people. Honestly, they shouldn't even need to comb through the database. Throw a script to run when somebody logs in, check to make sure it isn't one of the accounts that already received it from watching the stream, check to make sure it isn't a new account to prevent people abusing it, call the inbox event, flag the account so it skips the check on future log ins. Remove the script a month later, and it gives people plenty of time. Still might not solve it for everybody, though. It's still not ideal, because it would slow down the game horrendously when people log in initially, but they must already have a system of distributing something to everybody they can use.

(XBOX)BIRDSTORM22 Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 You people complaining are ridiculous... it was FREE!!

These sorts of events are going to have flag values that let them know someone already got a distribution, both to keep people from getting extra and also to make the script more efficient since it isn't having to do comparisons for values on an ineligible account. I would be very surprised if the first step of the script isn't to check the account for a flag that they already got their twitch drop. It's also fairly irrelevant, because you can't use a second one, and you can't trade it or do anything else useful with it. If somehow they do get it twice, then the only benefit is a free warframe slot that's only worth 20p. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gravysaurus Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 Thanks for being so generous, DE! Tennocon stream was amazing and I'm really looking forward to all the new stuff! I will wait to see when Ash Prime decides to sneak into my inbox! Will you guys have the same themed beer cans at future Tennocons? I think that was an awesome idea, even though I don't drink beer. Hopefully I can attend Tennocon in person one day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that is still better than like 10% getting it because they watched it and 90% got nothing because their script/server failed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something, that if you weren't acting so spoiled, you could kindly ask for in this forum and someone would probably be glad to help you out. Instead you're kicking your feet because some people might get more "free" than you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remove the script a month later, and it gives people plenty of time. Still might not solve it for everybody, though. The problem is that the database can't push the client to do things, so a script on the database side can't do that, or at least it couldn't the last time I worked with these sort of databases. Which means to do that they'd need to push a client patch to add a call to a script to happen at login. That's fine for PC, but means delays for console players who would likely have to wait for Sony/Microsoft's teams, and possibly a patch fee, assuming they still do those.
