bravo's having problems too

[magic ivy]

is royal2 at the lan matches? is he messing with the connection

[lucid pasture]

What's the best place to stay updated on Halo related Twitch drops? I found out about it just by chance since I was on r/halo

[untold solstice]

Question. For the weapon coating, once once I unlock it, does it unlock the battle Rigel,sidekick, and assault rifle? After watching halo stream. Or do I wait for tomorrow for the next weapon coating gun. Because rn i have the sidekick coat unlock.

[onyx swan]

if it isnt apparent by now, even at a LAN event the game is unable to be played without crashing

[stable tide]

it unlocks all 3 at once i think

[misty jetty]

I can't believe the first main stage round still hasnt even completed GAME 2

[onyx swan]

60 minute break inbetween all the games during b05

[supple smelt]

Thank god. I’m at work and should be able to catch some Hcs after on my way home

[open lance]

you’re telling me lmao I was watching on my lunch

[onyx swan]

343 has a lot of work to do

[short epoch]

is it possible to get both drops if i just keep other one muted

[cosmic ore]

lmao, right when it tuned back in, they had it 0 to 0

[lime rover]

dont worry everyone royal2 is working on the connections issues. the tourney will resume at 4am EST

[cosmic ore]

then you just see one zero shamefully swap to 1

[untold solstice]

Yes legit that's what I'm doing lol

[onyx swan]

this is gonna be a repeat of the last tourney, went till 3am

[untold solstice]

One for co stream and the other was HCS

[cosmic ore]

how do you know you've gotten the drop?

[tepid mango]

im with that tho

[cosmic ore]

i've like never done a twitch drop thing

[misty jetty]

hahaa!

[trim sky]

what stream is OpTic on?

[onyx swan]

theyre behind schedule by about an hour

[trim sky]

damn ok

[rapid mauve]

also nice delayed audio in the stream

[stable tide]

you can click on your profile avatar and see progress

[rapid mauve]

ya it says in the top right

wish audio wasnt so delayed in this gameplay lol

[muted nest]

so today we can only get armor coatings right?

[rapid mauve]

weapon coating/stance from halo streams and armor coating from partners

[short epoch]

weapon

[cosmic ore]

aight, what do i do if i'm on mobile? know a way for me to just check without literally going home to check the game itself?

[untold solstice]

Oxygen let's goooo

[short epoch]

pretty bad looking skins tho xD

[wary zodiac]

how do i get the BR drop?

[cosmic ore]

skins are skins man, they're cool enough that it doesn't hurt to have. plus the guns are kinda neat

[strange bolt]

the skins are really nice

[short epoch]

they're barely worth my time to keep the stream muted in the background

but nah jk, theyre allright

[untold solstice]

Wait did oxygen already win 2 times?! What

[onyx swan]

its not worth the watch rn, deff a mute keep in background kinda stream, audio is all d-sync, ssg not even on game number 2 but they started an hour ago....

[rapid mauve]

this audio absolutely boofed

[red charm]

the skins are super nice

[hard summit]

Can anyone explain the twitch drops? Do you get all of them for watching an hour? Do@you have to watch for an hour each day?

[rapid mauve]

you watch for an hour today and you get weapon skins and a stance

[short epoch]

i mean they look like 0.70 cent CSGO skins with gold colored barrel

[rapid mauve]

that's it really

[arctic quiver]

^

[hard summit]

Awesome. 5 min in!

[rapid mauve]

woo - also game audio SO much louder than announcers

[untold solstice]

Not gonna lie i have three tabs with their own screen. Co stream for armor coat, hCS, and vtuber.

[short epoch]

how do u get the armor skins tho, or are they not out yet

atleast it doesnt show them @cinder cloak drops page

[rapid mauve]

you watch a partner

[short epoch]

ye im watching cloakzy

[untold solstice]

The armor skin, you need a co stream like cloakzky

[rapid mauve]

ye so in an hour you'll have them

[short epoch]

i just dont see them at progress page like i do for the weapon skins

[onyx swan]

summit, cloakzy, myth, teepee

[short epoch]

idk if theyre supposed to be there

[onyx swan]

for weapons its the main hcs streams

[short epoch]

ye ik i got both streams open

[rapid mauve]

[rapid mauve]

Go to a participating live channel, including Myth, summit1g, cloakzy, and TeePee

[untold solstice]

I'm not sure. When watching you can check the top right on ur pfp there should be a percentage on far u watch the stream before u get ur drop

[short epoch]

can i post links here?

[rapid mauve]

those are the instructions

[lusty glade]

these crashes are so bad

sooooo bad

[cursive oar]

Pretty embarrassing with the crashes

[short epoch]

https://prnt.sc/23g528r what i mean is i dont see armor coating here like i see weapon skins

[vital fern]

When tf is spacestation vs xset game 2

[red charm]

Maybe it's aquarius?

They should not play on that map lol

[untold solstice]

Man I'm I'm not gonna buy chipolata rather the rockstar instead.

[onyx swan]

not until they fix the game, as far as we know they might have to cancel tourney if they cant fix the issue

[vital fern]

No way

[random peak]

Hay whats hcs stand for?

[rapid mauve]

halo championship series

[untold solstice]

AMD

[random peak]

Ohhhh, i don't belong here at all...

[muted nest]

what page are you guys able to get the weapon skin trackers to show up?

[rapid mauve]

https://www.twitch.tv/drops/inventory

[onyx swan]

if the problem keeps persisting and effects each time slot, cancel and postponing the tourney until the in game issues are all resolved would be smart,
if you check your profile picture on twitch you can see your progress on your rewards

[muted nest]

sorry, i meant more so like the hcs page wont give any drops for me, but the cloakzy page lets me get the armors. just wondering if anyone knows a page where the weapon drops work

[rapid mauve]

just twitch.tv/halo

thats what i'm watching and i'm at like 25% or whatever

[muted nest]

thanks

[pure obsidian]

You'd think Microsoft would use the money from the overpriced item shop to you know.... make better servers, buy Xbox Series X's, or even Window 10 Gaming PCs for their own event.... right?

[untold solstice]

Just finished all my drop. Now I have to wait for the pose for Sunday

[onyx swan]

there might be a limitation on earning the weapon skins/armor skins, 1 hour for each stream but not at same time, not entirely sure, im only getting progress for the weapon skins but am watching both a creator and the hcs

[red charm]

twitch doesn't allow multiple drops at the same time afaik

[rapid mauve]

so whichever you started first will count

[pure obsidian]

unless they plan on giving refunds to fans and players for hotel prices and ticket costs, strongly doubt

[rapid mauve]

how will i ever finally get out of diamond 6 if i dont get this weapon skin

as i use sentinels skins anyway lmao

[short epoch]

ye i only get progress for weapon skins, i think u cant watch them at the same time

as said above already apparently ^^

[pure obsidian]

TEN MINUTES?

[onyx swan]

lollll

[red charm]

this is a very bad event I'm sorry Halo

[onyx swan]

just to wait more most likely

[small forge]

So i can basically just put on a hcs stream, and chill on my phone for an hour to get that?

[onyx swan]

yes

[rapid mauve]

ya

[onyx swan]

and if you want the armor skins, tune into summit later tonight or myth

[rapid mauve]

wonder why cloak is a partner

[left plover]

armour skins i already got.

[pure obsidian]

dude honestly... I feel at this point you could run this event on ONLINE and might get better results

[left plover]

one of them is streaming halo now

[small forge]

Might just do that then. Do PCs go into sleep mode if you watch a stream and do nothing?

[pure obsidian]

depends on your PC Settings, but I think it shouldn't?

[rapid mauve]

i have it on my smart TV while i'm working lol

[small forge]

K

[pure obsidian]

check your sleep settings

[onyx swan]

i agree, except more likely to get royal 2 issues, saw frosty end up ono 200ping

[small forge]

Hey @frozen briar can you give me the link to that message once more please?

Ok just found it in the pins, sorry

[onyx swan]

this is a sad time for 343 im sure, they deff have a lot of work on their hands to get their servers straightened out, still can't even q up for big team lol

[small forge]

When are summit and myth gonna start streaming?

[short epoch]

cloakzy is live atm just go watch him

[small forge]

K

[onyx swan]

usually at night like 6, but yah cloakzy and teepee are live

[rapid mauve]

crazy sentinels is in open play now

[small forge]

Do i just have to link my steam acc?

[onyx swan]

link twitch

[stable tide]

apparently queuing solo helps with BTB matchmaking

[rapid mauve]

its literally the halo twitch lmao

oh you're not asking loooool my b

[onyx swan]

alright place your bets, will the game be playable after these 5 minutes

[pure obsidian]

will a game be started lol

[remote lily]

Yeah this has been a rough kickoff.

[pure obsidian]

boo

[remote lily]

I don't think I've seen a single game to completion and I joined on launch.

[pure obsidian]

your puns is as bad as this event

[onyx swan]

my favorite part was when i was waiting

oh i still am

[remote lily]

Wait I didn't make a pun on purpose lol.

[rapid mauve]

has it been that bad so far?

[small forge]

Do i get the weapon coatings if I watch the partners?

[pure obsidian]

we only had ONE GAME IN SERIES ONE completed on the main stage lol

[shell dagger]

Must all be using computers with controllers. The PC crash is real!

[onyx swan]

theyve been able to broadcast 1 game on the main stage

[rapid mauve]

no way

[onyx swan]

and its been like 2 hours

[pure obsidian]

no they are using Xbox Series X Development Consoles according to an article

[rapid mauve]

walshy spotlight time

[onyx swan]

theyre gonna run out of pre-recorded stuff

[pure obsidian]

look up the article by GameRant "FIRST MAJOR HALO INFINITE TOURNAMENT USING XBOX SERIES X DEVELOPMENT KITS"
(Tashi343i also confirmed this on Twitter saying they will play on "Retail" Mode on the Series X Dev consoles)

[small forge]

Answer pls

[rapid mauve]

no you dont

[onyx swan]

no

[shell dagger]

Oh okay didn't know that. Wonder if it runs at higher fps

[small forge]

Bruh moment

[onyx swan]

weapons-hcs, armor-streamers

[rapid mauve]

i swear nobody reads the twitch site that tells you how to get everything haha

[stable tide]

delta has gameplay right now

[small forge]

Im gonna watch hcs after this then

[onyx swan]

good idea, theyre not doing anything rn anyways

[rapid mauve]

ya i dont think you can do them at the same time so watch a partner for an hour

[short epoch]

are they actually playing on consoles loool

[small forge]

Yeah

[stuck mountain]

This whole tounry is chalked

[shell dagger]

I was enjoying watching Ace til it started to not behave

[onyx swan]

very limited time to acquire the victory pose

[rapid mauve]

this vid is like walshy died lol

[onyx swan]

you get all 3 weapon skins after your 1st hour of watching HCS, pistol, AR, and BR

[pure obsidian]

im so confused, is he dead or no lol

[stable tide]

that's 9am to 1pm on the 20th on my end @onyx swan

[onyx swan]

they've all been like that, kinda wierd

[rapid mauve]

i'll prob keep sentinels on my BR and put this one on my other weapons

the sentinels skin with the white/red BR is perfect

[onyx swan]

that sucks, so does the production of this event lolll

[small forge]

If i watch the stream for 1 hour, I can login whenever I want and still get the armour coating right?

[rapid mauve]

this is like a tribute for his death seriously

[onyx swan]

watch any of the sponsored streamers for 1 hour to get the armor coating, then remember to claim them on your "drops" on twitch

[rapid mauve]

its the first pinned message

[onyx swan]

same goes for the weapon coatiings, you need to hit a "claim" button

[rapid mauve]

when are they going to show actual halo gameplay

[small forge]

Can I claim them whenever I want? Cuz ill be on my guitar practice by then

[acoustic wren]

hey guys when i look at the twitch drops it wont show my progress for the armor still. I know how it works so you dont need to tell me about that, but can sombody explain why i cannot see the progress for it?

[onyx swan]

i have this sinking feeling, they have to postpone

[acoustic wren]

and can iw atch hcs and a hcs co partner at the same time

[stable tide]

not bad timing for me actually (i'm in australia which explains the time difference)

[onyx swan]

you need to watch myth, summit, cloakzy, or teepee to get the armor skins, weapons are stirctly for the hcs streams

1 at a time

[acoustic wren]

damn i gotta do 2 hours

man owell lets do it

[onyx swan]

do a streamer rn, hcs is just waiting screen

[short epoch]

ye im sad i started with HCS main stream instead of cloakzy, dont rly care about the weapon skins but 90% done so cant stop

[small forge]

If I'm on PC, where do I go to claim the drop?

[onyx swan]

click on profile, click drops

[small forge]

Ok I see it... damn im on 15% already

[cosmic ore]

so, do you unlock all the skins in one go? or is it one per day?

[small forge]

Cloakzy said one per day so...

[onyx swan]

you can get the weapons and armor in one day

the victory pose is strictly Sun, Dec 19, 5:00 PM - Sun, Dec 19, 9:00 PM EST · Watch for 1 hour and claim the reward Victory Shout Pose

[cosmic ore]

yeah, that's my concern. the adverts posted by halo said "bundle" so i assume it's all at once for the weapons/armor palettes

[stable tide]

as far as i'm aware, the skins unlock in one go

[muted spruce]

that ain't no victory pose, that's step on legos pose

[cosmic ore]

i'm assuming cloakzy is just confused on the specifics

[onyx swan]

the streamers honestly have no clue, theyre just getting that dough

[wise umbra]

so is the tournament just scuffed?

[cosmic ore]

dude, the victory pose is gunna be jarring and honestly hilarious to see in-game. i can't wait to see full-teams just rocking it lmao

[short epoch]

so im getting all 3 armors at once or nah

[magic gyro]

Delta broadcast on Alpha now

[onyx swan]

you get all 3 weapons at once, 3 armor coatings for each variant at once, victory pose on sunday only

[cosmic ore]

i'd wager you're getting them all in one go, all the official media seems to point to that

[onyx swan]

big yikes, i have sinking feeling a postpone will happen, they cant afford some of these casters for an extra 3-6 hours

everybody wants a smooth launch of hcs, the teams participating don't want to wait hours for their scheduled game-time slot, we're still waiting on game 2 of SSG, 3 hours into the broadcast

[stuck mountain]

its still chalked?

[red charm]

So I claimed my drops, how long does it take for them to appear in game? I haven't gotten them yet.

[short epoch]

prob next summer

[magic gyro]

lol

Can someone dumb this down for a boomer? How do I claim these drops?

[short epoch]

click on ur twitch profile and go to drops

[arctic quiver]

Details are in the channel pins

[violet belfry]

So you can get coatings by watching the Raleigh tournament?

[magic gyro]

Done, linked account and good to go thanks @short epoch and @arctic quiver

[loud epoch]

Check redemption history

[red charm]

It shows I claimed them on twitch

unless you mean somewhere else

[loud epoch]

After claim it should be in your redemption history on halo waypoint

That’s how milk nameplate was

[vital fern]

I claimed both of them and they havent popped up on waypoint yet

[red charm]

Yea they aren't showing up in my redemption history nice

[loud epoch]

Lol you bugged then like I am with milked nameplate

[tall bay]

sorry if this has already been answered: any word yet on what the issue is on the tournament?

[red charm]

It's really awesome that I was held hostage for two hours of the crashing tournament to not get my reward

[stable tide]

milk nameplate? when was that?

[vital fern]

Lmao

[loud epoch]

Tuesday I think

[stable tide]

i didn't see anything about that and i looked on waypoint

delta has gameplay if anyone cares

[vital fern]

Has the main pool started yet

[red charm]

XSET VS SPACESTATION

[magic ivy]

ITS BACK

[vital fern]

So far the drops arent showing up after claiming them and we're 2 hours in and the show is just ad breaks and technical problems sounds like a 343 moment alright

[red charm]

WOW

[loud epoch]

did you connect accounts at claim?

[left plover]

i finished all the drops. just waiting for sundays.

[vital fern]

Yea

[shadow saddle]

I got the armor coating but not the weapon coating. I watched the correct streams for an hour each, my account is linked, and it says I've unlocked both in my twitch inventory. But no weapon coatings in game

[red charm]

I mean they have to actually give it to us in game, seems to be difficult for them.

[vital fern]

Its like every system surrounding this game is so half baked

[red charm]

Should have delayed the game again tbh

[vital fern]

Idk if disconnecting links and reconnecting would help

[loud epoch]

Anyone else having problems getting the coating drop to trigger? The progress is not being initiated

nvm now its working

[red charm]

Twitch drops themselves are buggy.

So Twitch drops + 343 attempting to do anything is a recipe for disaster.

[loud epoch]

I SEE THIS HAPPENING AGAIN: EVERYONE, LINK YOUR ACCOUNTS BEFORE YOU CLAIM. IF YOU CONNECT AT CLAIM IT DOES NOT WORK. SAME THING HAPPENED WITH GOT MILKED NAME PLATE

Also make sure you are logged in on both

[red charm]

I've been connected for like a week

[vital fern]

I linked my account yesterday

[loud epoch]

ruh you said you connected account on claim

[shadow saddle]

So if I already screwed it up, is it possible to fix it?

[red charm]

I literally followed everything as they said to do. This is in no way my fault.

[loud epoch]

no

[shadow saddle]

F

[loud epoch]

Submit a ticket

[shadow saddle]

How do I do that?

[red charm]

I'm sure this will go well but I might as well try for a ticket

[short epoch]

do u need to have core skins for all 3 of these armor skins or just some of them?

[loud epoch]

Go to halo waypoint support

[short epoch]

(nice idea 343 btw)

[loud epoch]

Yes you need to have the cores for samurai and reach to use those 2

[short epoch]

so one of them is actually free? XD

damn even twitch drops costs money

soon u need to buy membership to play the game like its runescape

[arctic quiver]

Infinite multiplayer is free to play, you don't need to buy anything

Gold and Game Pass are not required

[left plover]

you can install it on steam for free

[loud epoch]

You still get the coating for mark vii

[red charm]

The coatings are sick, wish I could use them.

[short epoch]

really didnt get my point there did u guys

[red charm]

No they didn't lol

[loud epoch]

If you claimed and it’s not in your redemption history on halo waypoint it’s bugged and you need a ticket

Double check it’s all linked correctly

[red charm]

I want to try and unlink and relink but I'm worried that will break it more. I'll wait to see what my ticket brings. If I don't get these skins I'm gonna be so upset because I actually like them.

When I claimed weapon coatings it showed on my redemption history immediately

[red charm]

Seems like that's not the case for a lot of people

[loud epoch]

Well that is what happened to me with got milked, I still don’t have it

[red charm]

That's promising

[loud epoch]

Weapon coatings worked for me tho

[red charm]

When you launch the game is there a popup about drops or do they just appear in your cusomizations?

[loud epoch]

They just appear

[severe mantle]

Man the disconnects and crashes were bad today :c

[red charm]

yea it's been rough. I really wanted to get into Halo esports but this makes it so hard.

[loud epoch]

Now I see why many of my ranked games are 3v4

[torpid beacon]

anybody else redeem the hcs twitch drop and not get it?

[severe mantle]

Yea well Halo competitive scene doesn't even exist here so :c

[red charm]

Yep

[torpid beacon]

and the armor coatings arent even listed

[red charm]

Most likely not gonna get it either

armor coatings are from co streams

[severe mantle]

I just wish that there's no more crash and we all can enjoy some classy pro gameplay

[torpid beacon]

?

[severe mantle]

And hopefully get new players to try Halo

[vital fern]

Where do i file a ticket

[loud epoch]

1. twitch doesn’t let you do multiple drops at once, takes a bit for the next one to kick in

2. link your accounts before claim and be logged in on both. If it’s not in your halo waypoint redemption history after claim submit a ticket

[loud epoch]

Halo waypoint support

[vital fern]

And what info should i give them

[short epoch]

halo support will tell u that u failed to claim them and its ur own fault dont even bother lmfao

[slow jay]

hey i claimed my weaopon coatings but i dont see it in game

[red charm]

I just said I linked my account, claimed the drops, and didn't get them.

[severe mantle]

You have to link the accounts before claiming

[slow jay]

i did

[torpid beacon]

I did

[slow jay]

i linked my account and then went to watch the stream

[red charm]

Is someone says "you have to link before claiming" one more time I'm gonna freak tf out

[torpid beacon]

and its listed as claimed. Im also very confused because the only two listed under the stream are a coating for the sidekick and the victory pose, no br or ar

[red charm]

We aren't braindead, it's not our fault the system is broken

[severe mantle]

Well idk, I haven't claimed mine cus Im travelling
But most people be saying that u have to link waypoint and twitch and then sometime later claim them or smth

[vital fern]

Yeah do u even get the br and ar and the spartan coatings? So confusing

[torpid beacon]

doesnt seem like it

[severe mantle]

I think these are bundles

The armor and weapon coatings

[torpid beacon]

and why are the weapon coatings viewable in game but the armor coatings dont exist yet?

[loud epoch]

Twitches system is stupid because it sends a request to halos api for a redemption, no matter what happens on halos side it’ll say successfully claimed, and even if it wasn’t you can never reclaim again

[torpid beacon]

but the armor coatings

how do you even get them, or the other coatings besides the sidekick

[loud epoch]

Honestly no idea, should be all weapons with the one code

[stable tide]

i think it's a bundle

[rocky lark]

And they might also be upcoming shop items

[stable tide]

anyone got a link to the bracket?

[torpid beacon]

but where

[torpid beacon]

n o

[red charm]

343 is so lucky they nailed the gameplay on this game. Otherwise it would be dead on launch with how many issues they had.

[stable tide]

optic on bravo soon

[vital fern]

Facts

[torpid beacon]

ok so apparently the halo main twitch is the entire armor coating bundle, it was just confusing because the icon was the sidekick

[red charm]

main halo twitch is just weapon coatings

[short epoch]

its not

@torpid beacon

[torpid beacon]

it is

[red charm]

armor coatings are from co streams

[torpid beacon]

check pins in this channel

[stable tide]

halo, hcs, hcs_blue and hcs_red are weapon skins

cloakzy and teepee are armor skins

[torpid beacon]

bruh

[short epoch]

pins literally say it wym Watch 1 hour on Twitch.tv/Halo on Friday, Saturday, or Sunday and earn the HCS Launch Weapon Coating Bundle.

Watch a co-streaming partner for 1 hour on Friday, Saturday, or Sunday and earn the HCS launch armor coating bundle.

[torpid beacon]

no?

[short epoch]

CO streams for ARMOR bundle

[torpid beacon]

theres no drop notifications on the other halo channels

its a bundle

[short epoch]

wym theres no notifications

[torpid beacon]

not you

the other guy

[warped flame]

my twitch account in Halo Waypoint says connected, but the twitch handle is just some ellipsis where the name should be. is that normal?

weapon skins = main streams
armor skins = co streams

refresh the page and it should show your twitch name

[slow jay]

should i try unlinking and re leaking

[warped flame]

it doesnt

[torpid beacon]

aha

[stable tide]

does twitch say your accounts are connected?

[warped flame]

yes

[torpid beacon]

ok im afking on cloakzy's stream

[stable tide]

then you're good to go

[loud epoch]

be careful, if you unlink from waypoints side, twitch will still say "connected"

[vital fern]

So if u got 2 drops is that it? One with the sidekick icon and the other with the spartan

I really hope they show up at some point cause theres nothing else i can do i filed a ticket

[stable tide]

there's a third limited time drop

[vital fern]

Thats sunday but for now thats all of them

[red charm]

Same here. I have no weapon skins and really like these. If I don't get these despite watching and claiming, I'd be so annoyed.

[stable tide]

yeah if you have the armor skins and weapon skins you have all the drops so far

[slow jay]

it says my twitch name is ...

[vital fern]

They go perfectly with my rockstar ar skin its so annoying

[vital fern]

SAME

[stable tide]

it did the same with me to start with but a quick page refresh fixed that

[red charm]

That might be the issue we are all having. We link but it doesn't link properly.

[slow jay]

refreshed and nothing

[vital fern]

I guess if u get really desperate u could make an alt twitch account relink ur halo to that and watch 2 hours again and hope u get them

[red charm]

lol

[vital fern]

But i really cba doing that

[red charm]

If I don't get a response to my ticket, I will do it for the stream tomorrow lol

[stable tide]

optic vs chiefs on bravo in 2.5 minutes

[red charm]

still two days left I guess

[short epoch]

i mean it might be that u just get them later on

[vital fern]

People saying they still havent got the milked emblem tho

Which was days ago

[short epoch]

oh yeah true

[red charm]

nah if it's not instant it didn't work

[short epoch]

15min more afking and i go check if i got mine

[torpid beacon]

time to blow up SSG

no wonder formal left

[red charm]

I mean they should be winning rn. They had the slayer game in the bag but there were three crashes in a row.

[merry pond]

does it show like "..."

[torpid beacon]

i missed that. theyre crashing at LAN too wtf

[red charm]

yep

super long delays from crashes. Multiple across all the games.

[torpid beacon]

i stopped crashing after i uninstalled texture pack or whatever from steam

not a good look for 343

[red charm]

That helps but I still get random crashes.

Crashes happen on console too

[stable tide]

optic vs chiefs live now on bravo

[merry pond]

my waypoint just shows "twitch connected" but the account name shows "..."

[vital fern]

Ssg taking the L

[slow jay]

yes but now it shows my name

[torpid beacon]

i want to watch SSG take an L first

[merry pond]

What did you do to fix it? Or nothing

[red charm]

nah SSG got his

[slow jay]

refreshed

[small bluff]

Wow ace raging.

[vital fern]

Apparently if u didnt get it on spot ur just doomed so it doesnt matter if it says ur linked account is ... Or ur name

[merry pond]

Mine does nothing

[red charm]

Yea I think that's the case.

[slow jay]

on my redemption history it only shows the gamepass claim

[merry pond]

Everything I have is linked, it's just not showing my twitch name

[vital fern]

Its really dumb and i dont know if the support ticket will do anything making an alt twitch account is the only option of getting these at this point xD

[red charm]

ur probably right.

so frustrating

[vital fern]

But alot of people are having the issue

[red charm]

I have seen a lot yea

Also, am I wrong in thinking that SSG just won two rounds?

I swear at the bottom it showed it was 1-1 and SSG won another.

[ionic crane]

Claimed the drop and nothing is I still have nothing in game

tusk better than ace, idk why tusk was dropped

I mean I would be playing pretty bad too if I warmed up, waited three hours for my second game after demolishing the first, and came back rusty after getting a game you probably had won taken away

Are they gonna go against optic next?

[red charm]

yea lots of people getting screwed. Best option is submit a support ticket but it's looking pretty grim

[muted nest]

damn that sucks

[untold solstice]

I watched 2 hours and is get nothing Sad grunt noise

Oh wait. Nvm i did get them.

[red charm]

cool kids don't get their drops

[untold solstice]

i must be a bad kid

[red charm]

yes you are

[untold solstice]

[analog obsidian]

Are you able to get the weapon coatings and armor coatings or no?

From the drops that is

[red charm]

Theoretically yes

[low knoll]

Been watching HCS and not one picks up the Commando 🤣 too bad it's nerfed beyond use. Was great during flight.

[red charm]

Optic players were using commando on B stream and nailing with it. But yea it's not preferred.

[low knoll]

It was my fav during flight and even now I will pick it up if available but won't dare to go 1v1. Great to pickup kills when enemy shields popped or running away.

[short epoch]

skins actually look way cleaner in game than it was in those pics

wish u could put charms in esport weapon skins or something, stupid u cant customize it

[red charm]

imagine getting skins

[short epoch]

just get them 4Head

[red charm]

Nah real chads claim the drops but don't get them

[short epoch]

contact support and they will give u 343 paypal email and tell u to paypal them $10 for them to deliver those skins to u

[red charm]

LOL

Damn 10 dollars is a steal!

[short epoch]

i dont even know how to unlock skins in this game probably battlepass i just grind ranked never played halo before, i mean esports skins are all i rly care about, theyre clean

[red charm]

Yea I bought the premium battlepass. There are like 0 weapon skins in it. You pretty much have to buy from the shop.

[short epoch]

so is this one shop item for example, screenshot coming in asec

https://prnt.sc/23gmigt

[red charm]

uhhh it might be. I only looked at the HCS shop like once

[willow turret]

It wasnt in the shop last i checked

[short epoch]

yeah idk not rly feeling this games item shop anyway, 20$ for literally default skin re-color

[red charm]

The item shop is terrible

I will never buy it. I struggled to even find a reason to buy the battlepass. Ended up doing it cuz of ODST armor.

[willow turret]

I only got the pass because i do enjoy the game, but the monetization is rough

[short epoch]

so what even is the skin drop that u can actually use for free, HCS launch I assume?

core this core that i dont even know what is the core one

so glad theres actually good looking esports skins so i dont have to worry about skins stuff, so weird to me in this game

[loud epoch]

I have them already in game, its a green/black/gold coating for all 3 cores

Showing no mercy. Did Eunited lose? Is that why they’re playing the boys?

[modest kernel]

No it’s Euniteds first game

I don't think so. This is group stage

Hmm, I'm not seeing anything in my redemption history after claiming on twitch 🤔

[loud epoch]

in halowaypoint does it say your twitch username or "..."

[fathom rain]

just ...

[loud epoch]

its not linked right then, bugged somehow

[fathom rain]

is there a workaround?

[loud epoch]

common issue, because twitch doesnt let you re'claim things you need to either try to relink until you see your account name or make a new one

[loud epoch]

https://www.reddit.com/r/halo/comments/rin2cn/comment/hoy5nun/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3

[fathom rain]

thank you!

[loud epoch]

if you see your twitch name correctly its prolly gunna work to claim

[pale leaf]

does disconnecting and reconnecting your twitch fix it?

however, I already claimed my drops before, so I don't think it will give me my drops

[muted nest]

no all of them are unlocked

[torpid beacon]

Curious question for anyone. I'm at the event, just stepped outside the convention center, but I was wondering. Is there any kind of free loot for attendees? From what I'm seeing, there are a ton of marketing tents to buy gear and clothes, but nothing like an in game skin outside of twitch. Anyone know?

[stuck mountain]

i got the phill spencer skin

[muted nest]

unlocking one armour core gets the rest and same with the guns

[stuck mountain]

you have to play$$

[twilit gyro]

Ohh I see thanks

[torpid beacon]

it's a skin for all 3 cores and a skin for br, ar and sidekick

[torpid beacon]

If that's the case, I'm sad. As it stands right now my friend and I were having fun, but we didn't get lanyards, only wristbands. No loot to celebrate our in person attendance outside of buying a sweat shirt.

[stuck mountain]

yeah it sucks

[torpid beacon]

It's an amazingly fun event for sure, and we've had a bunch of fun so far, but no loot or skin codes for attendance make me kinda sad

[stuck mountain]

whats the event like?

does it feel hype ?

[torpid beacon]

Oh it's great, they have half the center for the main stage and the other side for open bracket, hype gets real when a triple kill happens lol

The staffing seems a bit.....scattered I guess you could say. I had to scour the DARK convention center struggling to find an event person to ask where to sit lol. No clear labelling on where is ok to sit. Security lady had to call her supervisor to check lol

[twilit gyro]

Btw is the twitch stream dropping gamepass codes or I mis heard the announcer?

[surreal spindle]

When do tickets for the events typically go on sale

I claimed the drop but i have not gotten it after 2 hours. My account is connected

[somber swift]

Where do you claim the drop?

https://hcs.ee.gg/500

Who is watching the HCS for more than the drops?

Some good games so far ya?

[vital fern]

Are the co streamers actually into the show or just there cause of the fat paycheck

[torpid beacon]

I'm watching the official channels

The casting is great, they had Walshy, Clutch, Shyway, bunch of other ex pros

[vital fern]

The boys vs eu was funny

[torpid beacon]

@vital fern Ha, ya they got merc'd

[heavy otter]

Anyone else having problems with the drops?

[vital fern]

I just want to see sentinels play

[bright latch]

To everyone who's having trouble with the Got Milked claim thing and it's not appearing; I filed a ticket about 4 days ago now (keep in mind, it still hasn't shown up in my HW redeemed) about the Got Milked nameplate and how it's not appearing even though I claimed it. They replied with, "Thank you for your ticket. Halo Support does not have the ability to grant items like nameplates, achievements, etc. We are tracking how many players report this specific issue and if our developer team is able to take action, we will follow up and let you know. In the meantime, please submit another ticket if you experience any in-game issues.". So 343 is 100% aware of the issues, it just comes down to a matter of people that are having the same problem and if they're willing to put in the extra effort to get this fixed.

With the HCS skins that launched today by watching streams- they pretty much immediately appeared in my inventory in game, and on HW. So I think the Got Milked one was glitched or something.

It also seems as though if your account wasn't linked before you clicked the "claim" button, they will not appear in your inventory at a later time. (that's what seems to be happening to me).

sorry for the long message flooding chat

[torpid beacon]

I've gotten them no issue, both pistol skin and armor skin in game immediately.

[heavy otter]

Mine was linked before and its still not appeared.

[bright latch]

hmm. the ones today pretty much appeared instantly in my HW redeemed and in game. I'm not so sure then.

[heavy otter]

Even twitch recognised the accounts were linked so this is purely on hws end why could they have not just done your xbox account. Sea of thieves does it that way and it works no problem

[dire oak]

I've been watching hcs since this morning and i still haven't obtained the weapon camos

[shy matrix]

So will something pop up saying claim drop on waypoint?

[loud epoch]

Im making noise as well, keep it up friend and lets get this nameplate

[bright latch]

I know, the way 343 did it is 100% wrong. they should've did it differently lmaoo

[heavy otter]

Halo waypoint is a clunky mess anyways. I hate the damn thing.

[bright latch]

twitch.tv/inventory it will appear as "claim" under the item. *only do it if you 100% are sure your accounts are linked though, or you wont get the thing.

[loud epoch]

i submitted a ticket and my friend also did

[bright latch]

Good to know. We have to keep making noise or we won't get it. It's really lame we have to do this tho

[loud epoch]

True, but I'll keep it up as Im trying to collect all the items

[shy matrix]

My account is linked. Thanks!

[heavy otter]

Im pissed.

[vital fern]

Just fyi if you couldnt get the drops you can get another shot of getting them by makingn alt twitch account with your same email and linking that to waypoint this is what i did when they didnt appear the first time

[bright latch]

For sure!

[worldly canopy]

I claimed the Awards almost 2 hours ago and they haven't shown up in game at all, and I KNOW my account was connected before

[bright latch]

I am as well- at least all the free ones. I finished all of the rockstar ones, im grinding the ones out rn, and I'm still trying to figure out how to get the monster ones.

[heavy otter]

How long does todays drops last for, my internet goes out in 10 mins

[torpid beacon]

@worldly canopy do you see dots on waypoint as your name? if yes you are bugged and you get nothing KEKW

[bright latch]

I think Friday-Sunday.

[worldly canopy]

$%#%&*

[bright latch]

That explains why I didn't get the Got Milked one then ;-; I still haven't gotten it too

[heavy otter]

Ok ima make a alt tomorrow if it does not appear in the morning, if it still does not work, im gonna start kicking and screaming

[loud epoch]

na my account was linked fine and still didnt get that one

[vital fern]

Make an alt twitch connect it to waypoint make sure to refresh so ur name shows and its not three dots and u should get them

[heavy otter]

Next time they better ditch using waypoint.

[vital fern]

Have both waypoint and twitch open in different tabs

[bright latch]

Hmm. It must've been a big bug then. Either way, I really hope we can get it, it's gonna be rare in a few months + its really cool looking

[loud epoch]

indeed

[worldly canopy]

At one point earlier my Twitch name appeared on Waypoint... but now it's not

[bright latch]

It's most annoying because the ones from today's streams are working 100% fine, but the milked one is/wasn't.

[heavy otter]

Mine appeared straight after i claimes it

[loud epoch]

i also wish I knew what i know now

[vital fern]

When ur name does appear just leave it open on the tab like that and go claim ur drop on twitch

This is what i did and i got them both

After not getting them on my main account :|

[heavy otter]

1 hour is way too long as well. I would prefer 30 mins

[bright latch]

100%. I'm sure I would've gotten it by now. Upsetting I didn't. I really hope they'll get a fix for it soon.

[torpid beacon]

lol

[heavy otter]

Its long, buggy and a pain. Revamp needed.

[bright latch]

they need to have just a simple direct link. instead they have extra stuff and its making people not getting the stuff they claimed.

[heavy otter]

Its like the gamepass perks, instead of being a normal code they use it on waypoint to advertise it

[torpid beacon]

As much as I agree, it sucks for the people that didn't get it, I've never seen so much negative comments as I have on the twitch channels and discord about this game. Free game, free streams, free skins, now "I wish I had to watch less to get free stuff". As they say, you get what you pay for.

[loud epoch]

same, ill just keep responding on twitter with wheres mah milk nameplate lol

[heavy otter]

I would rather pay 60 for the multi and not have microtransactions,

Sea of thieves drops are only 20 minutes long.

[loud epoch]

lol for real?

[heavy otter]

Yes.

[torpid beacon]

I would easily pay $60 for the multiplayer.

I just had it on in the background while I was driving somewhere. Chillax dude

I just submitted a ticket to twitch about resetting it so I can click "Claim" again. I'll keep you updated with what they reply with!

[loud epoch]

sounds good, thanks mang

[hybrid iris]

Lemme know if you hear anything back on this as well. Didn't have it connected properly apparently for the nameplate and weapon skins. but got it right for the armor skin. By then, it was too late for the others.

[stuck mountain]

what does the esports coach do?

[torpid beacon]

why cant i use the drops i got?

and i didnt get the armor even though i watched the right people

[bright latch]

Sounds good @hybrid iris and @loud epoch! I'm just a fella in the world trying to get a nameplate LMAO. but don't worry, I did the same thing. I didn't have my account linked properly before I hit claim, so it got bugged.

[torpid beacon]

if you didnt have it linked the right way before is it just gone?

until they fix?

[bright latch]

yes, if you don't have your accounts linked properly before you hit claim (or it shows your twitch account as ... on Halo Waypoint) you will not receive anything that you clicked "Claim" on.

[torpid beacon]

ever? like its forever gone?

Acend up 2-1

[bright latch]

then it will render the items as "claimed" meaning the only way to get them is to relink your twitch account to an Alt account and rewatch the streams for an hour

FR lol

[edgy coral]

Welp at least ill pick up the other stuff

[worldly canopy]

I restarted my computer and it shows my name from Twitch now in Waypoint. I had "claimed" the rewards on Mobile, does that have an effect as well?

[bright latch]

for sure. just double check to make sure your accounts are linked properly on Halo Waypoint and twitch, otherwise you wont get them.

[torpid beacon]

youd think that tthis would not be an issue, minor things becoming problems

[bright latch]

If you already claimed the rewards on mobile before your name was displayed on Halo Waypoint, I think it might be too late to get them

[worldly canopy]

Waypoint Recognizes Twitch, and my Twitch recognizes 343i,

[worldly canopy]

dang it

[bright latch]

double check on halowaypoint.com/redeem . If you claimed them, they should appear under there.

[edgy coral]

I'm just happy I'll probably get the other stuff

[hybrid iris]

I really wanna know when we're gonna be able to get that HCS winter weapon skin. Like it so much more than the free armor one.

[bright latch]

if they don't appear under redeem, that means it might've bugged and it's possible you won't get them.

[bright latch]

I agree 100%

[edgy coral]

Biiig ol rip

[torpid beacon]

wow what a play

[worldly canopy]

noooooooooooo

[hybrid iris]

Ah, another tech issue

not a great day one in that aspect lol

[torpid beacon]

343 KEKW

[bright latch]

343 did this 100% wrong lmao. sorry guys

only way to get them is to make an alt account on twitch and rewatch the streams again lmao

[hybrid iris]

I may just make an alt and do it because god knows they may never fix this haha

[bright latch]

I doubt they will. Like I said, I just contacted twitch about the Got Milked one 4 days ago (as it bugged and I still haven't recieved it)

I just claimed the HCS Launch Armor and Weapon Skins and they appeared in my Halo Waypoint Redeem section seconds after I clicked claim though.

[distant coral]

I got a notification in the twitch stream that I got a package or something, something to do with my "inventory," does anyone know what to do about that?

[torpid beacon]

Teams should start ending games on purpose during scrims to train for crashes

[hybrid iris]

lol they pull the flag and cant catch em? Just DC real quick. Fresh start.

I really appreciate all that they are trying to do for the esports side of things but they really should have made sure that the game worked properly in custom matches before anything else lol

[torpid beacon]

technology isn't perfect guys, has your xbox every crashed or bugged or something. things happen.

[torpid beacon]

not an excuse

[edgy coral]

Guess I missed the pistol. But I'll probably still get the other stuff

[hybrid iris]

oh, not at all but this is a LOT of a major LAN event and it is day 1

[torpid beacon]

yeah and there's TONs of xbox online at the event. It's bound to happen

its been hours and I havent gotten my drops ingame

[torpid beacon]

4 crashes a few hours into a major event. fixing crashes should be top priority

The games been out, what, a month? You think they can just FIX IT magic just like that?

[torpid beacon]

dont host a major event then if game isnt ready. imagine how frustrating this is for competitors

[hybrid iris]

Other games have proven that it is entirely possible to not have this issue. I didn't expect it to be perfect. Just better than this.

[torpid beacon]

They seem to be taking it in stride.

[torpid beacon]

wait do you have to go onto halo waypoint after you claim the drops on twitch?

[stuck mountain]

shouldn't be a problem at the start, flagship game having all these issues

[stuck mountain]

no

[torpid beacon]

exactly. they shouldnt waste pros time and energy if game isnt ready

looks bad on them too

[stuck mountain]

exactly

[torpid beacon]

I'm pretty sure these guys are all professional and understand what is going on here.

[torpid beacon]

so the drops just arent processing

[stuck mountain]

as soon as i claimed mine they were available in game

[torpid beacon]

lethul complains almost every stream about it. they are just behaving on camera

[torpid beacon]

bruh

twitch says my 343 is connected, guess im just not getting my drops

[vital fern]

Is faze next

[torpid beacon]

ya, seems to be the general sentiment of this community now. Beautifully polished free to play game which people just whine about lol Because they can't change the color of their pistol or they got dc'd from a few games

[stuck mountain]

what does it say in your twtich drop menu ?

[torpid beacon]

claimed

[bright latch]

You can still get it if you make an alt account. You'll just have to rewatch it for about an hour

[hybrid iris]

annnnnd another disconnect lmao

[torpid beacon]

LOL

omg

[torpid beacon]

your argument didnt age well

[bright latch]

you got the bug too. I just explained it awhile back. If your linked twitch account says ... under Halo Waypoint, anything you click "Claim" on, you won't get

[torpid beacon]

I just dont have them

[vital fern]

LMAO

[torpid beacon]

yeah it says that how do I fix it

[bright latch]

I unlinked, linked again, and waited about a day (because I had no power) and it managed to fix itself I guess lol

[torpid beacon]

Yeah, I know right! Too bad

[torpid beacon]

me personally, idc about the customization or lack of playlists on launch. im happy with the gameplay feel, and maps. but crashes are a major problem that should be addressed.

[stuck mountain]

What now @torpid beacon lol

[bright latch]

BTW, the new in game skins you get from watching HCS (guns and armor) look freaking awesome!!

[torpid beacon]

lol yeah it's a pain in the butt for sure!

[hybrid iris]

y u brag like that? hahah

[torpid beacon]

I unlink and link and it still says ...

[bright latch]

sorry, didn't mean to brag 😔 I just thought they looked nice 😅

[stuck mountain]

this must difficult for the commentators constant drop outs

[torpid beacon]

I'd be frustrated

it ruins the competitive nature of this tournament with all these DC's

[digital trail]

Has someone already got the weapon drops?

[bright latch]

give it time then. It should fix itself like it did for me.

[torpid beacon]

ye

[bright latch]

I have.

[loud epoch]

I bet 343 prios a stability patch after this

[digital trail]

am watching the cloazky stram for more than 1 hour and nothing

stream*

[bright latch]

Also, If it says ... under halo waypoint, and you already clicked claim on the items, you won't get them. You'll have to make a new alt account and rewatch for an hour

[stuck mountain]

343 are on holiday lol

[bright latch]

did you check twitch.tv/inventory ? It should show your progress

[vocal sigil]

claimed skins on twitch for HCS didnt get it in game? what gives

[digital trail]

yeah i already have the armor coating but not the weapons

[craggy tide]

Yo i never got my weapon skins. Been waiting for 5 hours. Got the armor skins instantly

[digital trail]

is in the creators channels or the halo channel?

[bright latch]

I'm not sure about that one honestly :/ worked for me

[vocal sigil]

https://gyazo.com/edec46dd5642b5dfad5118b99623b49f

[quartz cape]

The drops only work on pc, if you are on your phone

[vocal sigil]

i have it claimed

[digital trail]

yeah am on pc

[quartz cape]

Then im stumpted

[torpid beacon]

Came here to talk about the tournament but so far it has just been geeks about armor/weapon skins. no one cares, just get good with a BR

[hybrid iris]

Creators for armor coating if needed: Myth, summit1g, cloakzy, TeePee, scump

[digital trail]

ok i see it says 1% on the weapon skins

[vocal sigil]

good luck on actually getting the skins, i got 100% for both and got nothing

[digital trail]

u claimed the skins?

[vocal sigil]

https://gyazo.com/edec46dd5642b5dfad5118b99623b49f

[bright latch]

cosmetics = skill, don't you know this

[arctic quiver]

I think anyone needing help with Twitch drop is probably best using #471749501171007498 and keeping this channel clear to discuss the tournament

[bright latch]

that would make a lot of sense actually lmao

[torpid beacon]

finally, thank you!

y'all think Sens can win this with Formal?

sens molly wopped optic in that last online tourney

didn't formal quit ssg to join sens for this?

[torpid beacon]

yessir

due to royal 2 ban?

[torpid beacon]

correct

Ya honestly these dc's are killing the match

I still think the game is great and in good hands going forward - only time will tell.

[torpid beacon]

i agree too, im optimistic. the bones are great (good maps, good gun feel)

[vital fern]

What are all these "bye" teams on the open bracket list

[hybrid iris]

It'll be fine for the next one I would imagine but man this is not what halo needed when it was finally making a huge comeback

[torpid beacon]

the game feels fantastic

[hybrid iris]

Crazy that the main channel is still sitting at 61k after 7 DC's though.

[vital fern]

Viewership is to my suprise quite good

[torpid beacon]

yeah I think people generally understand that there are going to be hiccups

[red charm]

over 3 hours of the stream was wasted with technical difficulties.

[torpid beacon]

I'm not saying their inexcusable, but I'm just not quick to point the finger or drop the hate-hammer as I know it's not a simple environment to manage and it takes time and patience to 'perfect' this stuff.

[torpid beacon]

for sure - I agree. Wasted time

[bright latch]

100%. Sorry to hear it didn't work for you guys :((

[red charm]

If I bought live tickets I'd be annoyed for sure

[torpid beacon]

OMG

[bright latch]

???

[torpid beacon]

what. happened.

[hybrid iris]

How did they let that happen???

[torpid beacon]

I'm talking about the game! stop talkin about the drops in here lmao! xD

[bright latch]

oh word lmao, my bad

[vital fern]

What happened

[bright latch]

what happened, I was getting ramen lmao

Snipedrone so damn clutch right now

[torpid beacon]

nice slayer game 5

[hybrid iris]

Yeah, glad it is slayer here

I like oddball but it still feels a little awkward competitively

[vale perch]

WHY IS NOBODY TALKING ABOUT THIS. WHY AM I THE ONLY ONE THAT HAS TWITCH AND HALO CONNECTED BUT I'M STILL NOT GETTING THE TWITCH DROPS IN GAME 😭

[red charm]

Literally everybody was talking about it at one point

[vale perch]

k. still no solution tho

[red charm]

You have to make sure in your Halo Waypoint linked accounts it shows your twitch name. Just constantly refresh the page until it does. However, if you already claimed the drops on twitch, make a new twitch account and link to that instead.

[hybrid iris]

ARE YOU KIDDING

[red charm]

To check if you actually got the drops you can go to your redeem history on waypoint

[hybrid iris]

42-42 in a game 5 and then that

[vale perch]

BRO

[magic ivy]

ANOTHER DC HOURS LATER
incoming a FULL reset

[torpid beacon]

WHAT OMG

[stuck mountain]

where are the mods, talk about the drops in the other room

[tepid sequoia]

How can they get so many DCs in LAN

[red charm]

Dude wth

[vale perch]

it just says linked account...

[hybrid iris]

That is DC number 11 on the day I believe

[red charm]

at least yea

[vital fern]

This is getting embarrasing that was such a tense game

[vale perch]

i even tried doing it with an alt twitch account and xbox account and it did the same exact thing

[red charm]

If it just shows "..." as account name then it didn't link properly. Just refresh the page until it shows your name.

[tepid sequoia]

Well at least we can say that the online experience is LAN-level quality ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[mighty narwhal]

lmaoo

[hybrid iris]

That just kills the awesome moments. Like, now we get a 8 kill game of slayer. Just ain't the same.

[torpid beacon]

#471749501171007498

[arctic quiver]

#471749501171007498 for help with drops please

[severe mantle]

This is sad :c

[vital fern]

First to 8 kills WHY???????

[stuck mountain]

should have just played on xboxs and not pcs

[red charm]

lol so many people complained about drops that they are forcing people to another room rather than fixing the problem.

[lime rover]

this restart is gunna be kind of BS considering one side starts with enrgy sword

[red charm]

I guess they have a bigger problem like this ruined LAN.

[hybrid iris]

bring back MLG. It's the only way

[arctic quiver]

Mods don't work for 343, we can't fix anything

[magic ivy]

dont worry. royal2 is working on getting the connection back!!

[severe mantle]

Well MLG is ded innit?

[stuck mountain]

this room is for the tourny not drops

[hybrid iris]

Then we revive it.

[vital fern]

Nvm full restart

[red charm]

Xset has been coming in clutch for the tactical disconnects tho.

[torpid beacon]

Nah we just dont care about skins and want to talk about tourney

[hybrid iris]

dude if they DC again here....this is scary

[severe mantle]

I just wish that the stability patch that was promised to us on release gets actually released :c

[wooden sail]

i got the Hcs drops but didnt recieved on game

[modest kernel]

why would they do a full restart

[hybrid iris]

#471749501171007498

[wooden sail]

thx

[modest kernel]

drops should be a blacklisted word in here

[neon panther]

this round has had like three restarts

[red charm]

Go to the channel where nobody is actually gonna help you 🙂

[arctic quiver]

HCS isn't a support channel, please keep to the proper channels. Thanks

[hybrid iris]

Dude, we don't have that power. Just trying to facilitate to the correct area.

[severe mantle]

I wonder if anyone is watching for HCS gameplay anymore
Its like everyone's there for drops

And the only dropping are the players from matches :c

[hybrid iris]

lmao "You guys want drops?? Sure, I guess?"

[red charm]

At least like a pinned message in the channel would be nice since that's not an active channel. Just feels bad that there's a bug for so many people and it gets shrugged off. Not like there's much to talk about with this crashing contest.

[severe mantle]

Yea kekw

[torpid beacon]

i thought game was to 8

restart completely lol?

[severe mantle]

8pm pst

[red charm]

Nope they've been doing full restarts everytime today

[torpid beacon]

OOOOF

[lime rover]

if they didnt full restart one team would have had ez sword. it would have been unfair

[quartz cape]

Honestly im excited for the future of HCS

[severe mantle]

Teep was right, if the DC keep happening, open might take like a month to complete

[mighty narwhal]

they didnt full reset the ctf aquarius match before this one

[red charm]

Yea but not cuz of this event lmao

[torpid beacon]

I am too, but reddit should have complained about crashes more than weapon/armor skins

[red charm]

Everybody has been complaining about crashes

[severe mantle]

Wasn't the last event also full of restarts?

[red charm]

I see it so much on forums and other stuff.

[quartz cape]

Lol i have had fun watching even with crashes

[torpid beacon]

first couple weeks it was mainly about weapon skin/armor and playlists. crashes were prob 3rd most complained about after those 2.

[red charm]

I've spent more time getting my drops to work than actually being able to watch the event sadly

[torpid beacon]

LOL

[red charm]

They are still talked about. And people with monster pcs won't suffer crashes as much.

[mighty narwhal]

brooooo

[modest kernel]

another crash

[tepid sequoia]

agaaaaaain

[neon panther]

lolll

[red charm]

(I do not have a monster pc)

[stuck mountain]

lol

[modest kernel]

how are they crashing on lan lmao

[patent wing]

CRINGE

[red charm]

If I were a pro playing rn I'd probably walk out of the event

[pale torrent]

this is played on lan right?

[torpid beacon]

if this is what it takes 343 to fix it ASAP, then so be it

[red charm]

Imagine buying live tickets to this. I was considering it since Raleigh isn't far from me.

[modest kernel]

yea

[patent wing]

is it a software crash?

[stuck mountain]

for real

[severe mantle]

Well I'm not gonna use up all my mobile data to see crashes

[pale torrent]

lmao

[tepid sequoia]

343 worked hard to give us the same quality in ranked as pros get I see

[red charm]

SO TRUE

[vernal light]

didnt get enough microtransactions to afford anything more than a raspberry pi for a game server

[stuck mountain]

lol

[pale torrent]

how can the network not even work properly in lan

[vital fern]

12 disconnects

[stuck mountain]

we need to buy more skins

https://tenor.com/view/money-rich-dollar-bills-pay-day-pay-up-gif-5618256

[torpid beacon]

[hybrid iris]

Crash Counter: 12

[red charm]

Quickly buy all the HCS skins

[pale torrent]

I don't believe this is on LAN

I can't

[severe mantle]

Tbh, I've probably have had less than 12 crashes in infinite myself
For me the game's been largely crash free and DC free
Except btb ofc

[torpid beacon]

look at the disappointment on their faces

[red charm]

I get random crashes too often

[modest kernel]

I wonder if they have the HDR packs uninstalled on the pcs

[torpid beacon]

i actually stopped crashing on PC once I uninstalled texture pack on steam

[stuck mountain]

343 on holiday lol coming back in January

[severe mantle]

Do u have an AMD card/chip?

[hybrid iris]

Yeah, game never crashes for me but people do leave games a ton

[autumn otter]

This is getting ridiculous

[modest kernel]

I haven’t crashed once after uninstalling the HDR pack

[mighty narwhal]

could you imagine being xset and having a legit like 2 1/2 hr series with all these disconnects and then have to play c9 right after. i would be legit infinitely tilted

[red charm]

It's been ridiculous for a while

[severe mantle]

I have nvidia and Intel
And
Hcs partnered with AMD

[red charm]

I get significantly less crashes but it still happens

[modest kernel]

SEN about to play their WBR3 match

[autumn otter]

I crash with vsync disabled, no idea why

[severe mantle]

I have basically no crashes
And
Pros are crying to get 2 games in

I have vsync disabled too

[sullen hound]

@autumn otter I can not play without gsync on either

[autumn otter]

@sullen hound What card you on?

[sullen hound]

2080 Super Gaming Plus I believe

[autumn otter]

Jesus

[severe mantle]

I have 2060 but in a laptop so

[modest kernel]

Open bracket is starting round 3 so it seems they’re progressing pretty quick

[somber swift]

these crashes on LAN are bad

[severe mantle]

I guess 2060 laptop > 2080 super :v

[autumn otter]

I just hope it’s patchable

[sullen hound]

Yea, it's wild, one way to fix it in the tech test was lower resolution to like 85%

[modest kernel]

Also set the minimum FPS to what your hz your monitor is

[sullen hound]

@somber swift I agree, this should not be happening

[severe mantle]

I just want the stability patch that was promised to us :c

[somber swift]

time to use xboxes

[sullen hound]

@modest kernel did not know, good look

[mighty narwhal]

i havent crashed once since uninstalling HD textures, though i still DC every once and a while thanks to comcast. running a 1070 on 1440p, res scale minimum and preset low

[autumn otter]

They have saved halo with the quality of the game, be a shame to destroy it with bugs

[severe mantle]

Aren't the pros playing on xbox dev kits? :v

[sullen hound]

@mighty narwhal good ol comcast haha

[modest kernel]

Open bracket is

Doesn’t seem like open bracket is crashing as they’re in round 3 already

[somber swift]

i thought main stage was all PC

[still pine]

its not crashes, its connection issues from their LAN network

[autumn otter]

I still suspect royal2 is outside chewing on cat 5 cable

[stuck mountain]

lol

[modest kernel]

lmao

[somber swift]

well - at this point it's probably not just LAN issues.

[severe mantle]

:o
But wait then how will mnk bois play in open

[sullen hound]

😆

[mighty narwhal]

its so bad in my area, theyre the only provider i can get more than like 60mb down

[still pine]

https://twitter.com/HaloHubEsports/status/1471998546954051584

[modest kernel]

You can connect mnk to xbox as far as i know

[twin tapir]

This event is a disaster lmao

[severe mantle]

Eh idk
Someone told me that they'll be playing on xbox dev kits or smth

[stuck mountain]

10 minutes lol

[sullen hound]

I feel for ya, I'm in a pretty decent area and they still suck

[still pine]

yup, this is seriously sad to watch, they did it to themselves

[somber swift]

open bracket is dev kit boxes for sure

[severe mantle]

Yea but isn't that kinda trash (I dont own a xbox so idk)

[sullen hound]

agreed hahah

[stuck mountain]

wheres the dude who there

is he still in discord?

[severe mantle]

Well that's bad

[modest kernel]

no clue

[patent wing]

it's not software crashjng? You sure?

[still pine]

it seems to be mostly disconnects

[modest kernel]

dev kits are the same internals but different casings

[severe mantle]

That's the only problem that can happen tbh

[somber swift]

we don't really know

[severe mantle]

I mean compared to a pc its bad tbh

[somber swift]

seems like it's most often 1 player disconnecting from matches

[severe mantle]

Yea, just like ranked and social in matchmaking

[stuck mountain]

tbh i think its the game, watch scrims i was seeing the same problem

[modest kernel]

they can’t have like that many pcs for open the xbox’s run at 144 fps

[severe mantle]

They should tbh
Slap a 3090 and a 11th gen with a 64gb 3200mhz ram pc for all 272 teams

[modest kernel]

[still pine]

if the xbox run at 144 its fine, and if they didnt have the resources then make it a BYOC

[severe mantle]

Yea just bring some alienwares or legions

[pale torrent]

the more i play this game, the more i start believing its kinda running on spaghetti code

[still pine]

it is

[severe mantle]

It is lmao

[pale torrent]

good gameplay tho

[severe mantle]

The entire game was made in less than 2 yrs or smth

[pale torrent]

bungie also made entire halo games in less than 2 years

[severe mantle]

That was also 10-15 yrs ago

[still pine]

campaign felt fine to me, but the multiplayer is honestly in a prototype kind of state, half of it isnt tuned correctly/isnt working
