[winged cradle]

if you didn't win a Unicorn of Earth, you'll still have chances over time. It's Discord exclusive so you can only get it here and i'll be doing giveaways periodically. Just not as frequently here!

[acoustic swallow]

I am

[inner gale]

[dull raptor]

[hasty palm]

this is my 1st, now the shiny collecting can begin XD

[untold skiff]

got it thanks 😄

[somber ridge]

feel bad for ppl logging into the stream at 1800

[maiden jacinth]

def going to try going to worlds now. this was fun

[tepid knoll]

didnt get wow

[somber swift]

um, 7 mins left on my charm drop.
I hope it works.

[gaunt kernel]

Ah I didnt get the skull 😭

[torpid beacon]

Kek

[tender osprey]

People doubting SEN smh

[frank oxide]

tbh, I didnt know about drops in this channel but came for the discussion about the new nameplate, and stayed for the community

[fresh zealot]

I now have 2, time to learn art so I can get number 3 lmao

[somber swift]

If Halo doesn't host someone after this stream, lost opportunity

[dull raptor]

wait nooooooo not my clean sweep

[tiny sparrow]

only at 88%

[gaunt kernel]

Am British!! Just a night owl

[naive kiln]

Here's to hoping the stream just keeps going until I hit 100%

[untold skiff]

isnt it supposed to end at 1am?!

[fresh zealot]

raiding eli

[naive kiln]

Because, wow, Sentinels seriously just said "No, we end the stream on our terms"

[cinder wyvern]

maybe they'll make it a claimable freebie if it ends early

[torpid beacon]

hey same lol

[wispy pivot]

They hosted Trunks last night on his birthday - just as he was about to get off after streaming for 12 hours lol

[torpid isle]

thats what i was also thinking too

[acoustic swallow]

Keep watching the stream, hopefully the timer will continue to count until you get it

[hasty palm]

this is the kind of stuff i love to see, all the hate needs to stop. this has been super fun

[somber swift]

91%

[inner gale]

nostradamus moment

[tepid knoll]

im at 90 so im with u

[acoustic pawn]

I already got mine, but hopefully they keep going for everyone else

[arctic quiver]

Heh, same! 😄

[dull raptor]

hey, at least it was worth it

[torpid beacon]

Ogre

[sand grove]

@winged cradle I can know rock the unicorn emblem with my bf 🥰

[spring blaze]

thats so sick

[royal karma]

They have to start at the given time. NOT speed it up

[cinder wyvern]

k i just got switched to eli_X stream from halo stream

[torpid beacon]

Ggs

[tepid knoll]

wow

[dull raptor]

91%. 5 minutes. 2% battery.

[magic pine]

For the winners of the nameplate how long did it take to show? Few minutes?

[spring blaze]

YOOOO ELI got the host

[frank oxide]

Twitch chat losing it rn 😂

[next knoll]

NOO

[torpid beacon]

HCS Store will ever come back to the game?

[next knoll]

oh wait its just an ad break

[lyric lion]

Few minutes 🙂 might restart your game and it might show up then!

[visual comet]

lol SEN won too fast, no time for everyone to get charm rip

[somber ridge]

RIP, stream dead

[acoustic pawn]

The unicorns? Takes a little bit for it show up. Restart your game and/or wait for Sam/Stickr to add it

[next knoll]

WAIT NO IT SWITCHED

[spring blaze]

you guys should really follow Eli if you havent

[cinder wyvern]

halo is hosting eli_x!

[tender osprey]

Clown 9 😞

[gaunt kernel]

I guess if you get 2 timers it bugs 😭

[torpid beacon]

????

[cinder wyvern]

omg chat is blowing up so hard rn

[naive kiln]

Eli_X suddenly getting an extra 50k viewers

[torpid isle]

claim is still going with the new stream

[next knoll]

Lmao

[acoustic swallow]

You mean the armour kits?

[visual atlas]

It switched to another stream but still counts for the charm

[hidden acorn]

I claimed the first drop and everything worked perfect. Appears in game and all.

[frozen bobcat]

oh thank god

[dark apex]

i had my charm by game two of finals somehow :rooBlank:

[untold skiff]

T_T my charm

[gaunt kernel]

I claimed mine, but a second timers showed up regardless

[pure obsidian]

My weapon charm glitched with 2 timers so now I cant get it

[tepid knoll]

wow now im sad

[inner gale]

just casually mentioning the thousand viewer raid alongside bit donos lmao what a chad

[gaunt kernel]

Yeah restarting the game didnt fix it

[frank oxide]

its always those who came late crying 🤣

[hasty palm]

[cinder wyvern]

[tame sandal]

I'm not gonna claim it yet just in case

[dull raptor]

[deft vigil]

One day matters not, no single loss breaks a team, they’ll be back

[hasty palm]

MY TIMERS GOING UP WATCHING ELI!!!!

[acoustic pawn]

[frank oxide]

[fresh zealot]

[gaunt kernel]

Sad

[uneven remnant]

@lusty pendant go to Eli stream. Seems to be working for me

[frozen bobcat]

its not going up for me, still at 95%

[lusty pendant]

for the charm?

[untold skiff]

https://www.twitch.tv/stresss

[celest flax]

They will probably give it to everybody who tuned in, it’s like what happened with that stance before

[hasty palm]

1000% hype train lmfao

[uneven remnant]

[untold skiff]

[frozen bobcat]

[tiny sparrow]

I left halo and went to Eli's stream and now it's progressing

[thorny crescent]

reload the stream and it will progress on eli's channel

[gaunt kernel]

Hype

[frank oxide]

hypetrain 1700% 😂

[thorny crescent]

go straight to eli's channel to watch

[acoustic pawn]

Make sure the stream isn't muted. That can mess with it too

[somber swift]

should be working with Eli
https://www.twitch.tv/eli_x

[fresh zealot]

Remove ?referrer=raid from link or click ^^

[next knoll]

I GOT IT

[grizzled finch]

[twin iris]

Eli getting 34k viewers

His reactions are so great

[dreamy heart]

[dull raptor]

1 MINUTE HYPEEEEE

[spring blaze]

[thorny crescent]

[grizzled finch]

[modest timber]

Watch eli’s stream to get the charm

[frank oxide]

[frozen briar]

[dull raptor]

[somber ridge]

[tame sandal]

Nvm I just realized what you meant

[tiny sparrow]

[craggy burrow]

Think min glitched out. Darn.

[cinder wyvern]

Charm looks great!

[dull raptor]

im not staying up until 5am for the HCS banner gn y'all 🛏️

[hasty palm]

[gaunt kernel]

You can get it from Eli_X

[twin iris]

Got everything!

[arctic quiver]

For the next 3 hours you can watch Eli_x and still make progress on your drops. Plenty of time if you still want to get that charm
https://www.twitch.tv/eli_x

[gaunt kernel]

👀

[static mulch]

Why their stream crashed?
I'm stuck at 81%

[somber ridge]

perhaps update #969309929401905182

[torpid beacon]

Imagine missing SEN sweep though

[hexed snow]

@dull raptor you can get the banner from Eli too, he even showed it right now

[somber ridge]

watch this to continue your progress https://www.twitch.tv/eli_x

[craggy burrow]

Cool

[acoustic swallow]

Hmm, strange. I have now claimed the charm twice and restarted the game a few times. No sign of the charm

[cinder isle]

Give it like 20 minutes

[next knoll]

Funny how the charm is called Clean Sweep, and c9 just so happened to get swept. Lmao.

[cinder isle]

Mine took awhile but it showed in my waypoint

[acoustic swallow]

Ikr, definitely Sentinels' charm!

[velvet brook]

so weird i have the charm but it wont stay on my gun after equipping lmao

[magic pine]

Yeah it takes a bit with all the claiming. Same here with my nameplate. No sign just yet. But eventually!

[acoustic swallow]

Awesome, will do!

[torpid beacon]

Saving on Seattle and just getting the 117 controller

[somber ridge]

Eli is still trying to shoutout to his glut of subs and bits lol

[deft cove]

same here

[spring blaze]

Was fun experiencing the event with ya'll today, add me if you guys ever want to play some Halo ❤️

[iron forge]

Got da charm! Woooo

[torpid beacon]

SEN kit is $10USD... bro like I want it but also that's 10 bucks

The drops will be up for 2 hours with eli

[open edge]

Wait til S2 kits release

[magic pine]

lol they all $10

[iron forge]

I don’t think the season 2 kits include the armor or BR

[torpid beacon]

and miss out on OGs like I did with Rocket League?

[torpid beacon]

Updated BRs

[deft cove]

I went to waypoint website and to the redeem section, I have everything but the charm.

[torpid beacon]

Right.

[magic pine]

Should have copped the Envy armor before it got replaced

[acoustic swallow]

Same here

[deft cove]

despite unlocking it twice.

[iron forge]

Ah, didn’t look like it

[summer vault]

What HCS skin do I buy

[torpid beacon]

I logged in to equip my charm and queues into QP instead

[open edge]

Well that's up to you though, why not get both x)

[gaunt kernel]

C9 or sen

[light sage]

who won

[magic pine]

sen

[light sage]

lets goooo

[deft cove]

I would meme and say all, but tbh 343 needs the money for bigger project in the future. C9 or sen though.

[gaunt kernel]

All of them 👀

I'm buying none 🦄

[grizzled finch]

I love the ANZ stuff

[dusty wraith]

Oh man what the heck
The charm is gone
twitch said it will end on 11 am
its 8
but there is no more drop enabled stream

[summer vault]

Thanks good sir

[open edge]

Clean sweep

[deft cove]

fr?

[gaunt kernel]

Watch eli

[dusty wraith]

does that still count?

[viral lodge]

https://www.twitch.tv/eli_x

[somber ridge]

watch https://www.twitch.tv/eli_x to continue the progress

[gaunt kernel]

Yessir

[light sage]

what dose peak efficiency mean

[torpid beacon]

Stress and Eli still have drops enabled I got mine watching them

[viral lodge]

Eli will still be available till 1AM

[azure acorn]

get a perfect medal

[deep rain]

Oh my god I thought it was Monday not today

[open edge]

all shots hit with a combination of headshot

[light sage]

alr

[dusty wraith]

thanks but its the banner
not the charm

[gaunt kernel]

Use a shock rifle

[magic pine]

I would just play fiesta and get three shock rifle headshots

[somber ridge]

fine, don't believe me, you can cry about it later

[gaunt kernel]

They changed it to both bc they ended early

[light sage]

it says a burst weapon so should i use a br

[magic pine]

You can

[torpid beacon]

You have to get all the other drops before you can get the charm

[lusty mural]

It's wrong. Shock Rifle works.

[gaunt kernel]

I got my charm there, no harm in trying

[dusty wraith]

No dude. Twitch literally said here that "Watch 2 hours to earn your reward" with the banner image on the side.

[craggy bay]

trust, use shock rifle on btb

[torpid beacon]

You need to claim the banner before you can get the rest @dusty wraith

[somber ridge]

yeah, we are all dumb, including 343

[arctic quiver]

https://twitter.com/Tashi343i/status/1520947429868191746

Tashi (@Tashi343i)

If you continue to watch any of the co streamers until midnight (3 hours from now) you can still unlock the drop. People have already been unlocking it.

Twitter · May 2, 2022, 2:04 AM

I completed my charm drop using Eli's stream

[gaunt kernel]

Oh all of them are good to watch, nice

[arctic quiver]

Got about 2.5 hours left to get everything

[dusty wraith]

@torpid beacon@somber ridge
whoa whoa wait
I just looked at drops.
Twitch said I am making progress at the charm
its working

[light sage]

could i do the challenge in swat or no

[tiny sparrow]

no

[ripe briar]

Got mine from Eli, it resumed the last 8% without issue!

[craggy bay]

doesnt work in swat

[somber ridge]

nah, really. you don't say 😐

[light sage]

ahhh

[viral lodge]

Also everyone should help Eli out and follow his other socials; he is a great guy, been with his stream since April 28, 2021

[open edge]

just trust the shock rifle

[deft cove]

Waypoint updated, I got it

[craggy bay]

trust me go btb, find a shock rifle, profit

[deft cove]

Launching inf now to check.

[acoustic swallow]

Ooh I'll check mine now, thanks for the heads up

[light sage]

i suck with the shock rifle tho💀

[deft cove]

Big cash

[dusty wraith]

well thanks I guess anyway.

[craggy bay]

im trash with shock rifle too, just get a good spot and be patient with your shots

[light sage]

alr

[somber ridge]

go btb, jump into a vehicle, floor it to the other side, Sidekick AFKs in the face

[open edge]

commando, br, skewer counts and any kinetic

[cerulean tulip]

It's a lot better in BTB because you have a lot more targets to engage and range to keep you safe

[torpid beacon]

What is a perfect anyways

[open edge]

no flaws, jk

[light sage]

alr thanks guys @open edge @somber ridge

[somber ridge]

body shot until shield is down, then headshot

[cerulean tulip]

Where you hit all your shots fired on a fully shielded enemy and finish them off with a headshot

[torpid isle]

just claimed Shuksan Bumper do i need to wait a bit for that to go through?

[open edge]

yep

[torpid isle]

gotcha ty

[cerulean tulip]

Cortuna

[arctic quiver]

Alright, checking out for the night. Killer headache brewing
Thanks so much for hanging with us this weekend, hope to see you chatting around the server! :)

[cerulean tulip]

See you around stckr

[somber ridge]

you can see if you got the twitch drop from halowaypoint -> redeemed

[next knoll]

Best way to go about it is to go into fiesta and get 3 headshot kills with the shock rifle. One shot to the head, no body shots, no misses.

[gaunt kernel]

Goodnight! 🦄

[grave root]

stckr tell sam i said thank you for hosting the giveaway

[craggy bay]

cortuna, my beloved

[somber ridge]

I love The Weapon

[grave root]

hi rose 👋

[craggy bay]

the weapon really is a great character

[next knoll]

Cortuna

[somber ridge]

The Weapon is like Ahsoka, kind of annoying at first, but really great in the end

[open edge]

just like zoey in l4d

[craggy bay]

man, i didnt think anyone actually remembered l4d character names

[cerulean tulip]

Haha, yes

[open edge]

played so much zoey in good ol times

[craggy bay]

i was always more of a l4d2 kinda guy, but zoeys great

[torpid beacon]

Intriguing

[open edge]

gotta love both games! especially with mods

anyways, see u spartans in the field

[cerulean tulip]

I unfortunately missed out on L4D. I've only played its cousin B4B

[craggy bay]

gonna be my last l4d comment since its a halo server, but that l4d2 velociraptor mod was the most memorable to me

[open edge]

likewise, mines elmo for hunter

laters

[gaunt kernel]

3:30am

I will stay up later

That's fair

Gotta tell them you had to stay up watching Halo, they'll understand

[warm rampart]

Sentinels won!!

[torpid beacon]

cry more, SENS champs

ohhh shoot i actually slept through it

so glad sentinels won though

SEN deserved every last bit of that win, they played crazy.

[somber ridge]

SEN wanted it more than all others

[torpid beacon]

for sure

[paper moss]

Congrats to Sentinels, they deserve it!!!

[faint zephyr]

Yo did HCS give away the xbox yet?

[pale olive]

nothing on their twitter so dont think so

[faint zephyr]

hmm

[tame sandal]

This is an interesting percentage

[pale olive]

Lol

[craggy bay]

wonder what the actual number of recipients is

[pale olive]

id love to know that too

[tame sandal]

Anyone can count that, they just need to look up all of the bot's messages

[craggy bay]

would be a nightmare to count

i think someone earlier said its a little over 300? but i feel like thats kind of low considering all the flash giveaways

[pale olive]

yeah my guess would be around 400-500

[halcyon hatch]

I have yet to actually see anyone else in game with it

[cinder isle]

Wow, that’s actually an insane percentage

Mine showed up already

[craggy bay]

it can vary by quite a lot

[cinder isle]

I won the giveaway they did right before the last match ended, I just checked now though. I’d say it took between now and the time SEN took the 4th game, not sure how long that is lol

[tame sandal]

Actually scratch that, you can't count by the bot's messages

Because those without a gamertag weren't selected and there weren't any rerolls after a certain point

[drowsy coral]

🦄

[cinder isle]

Your Xbox gamertag isn’t showing up on your discord btw @magic pine, remember you gotta set it to display it in discord

[tame sandal]

That's a big problem.

[craggy bay]

that is indeed a problem uh

[tame sandal]

And I just mentioned it lmao

[pale olive]

Oof

[craggy bay]

id get your tag up and ask someone else in the same winning batch if they got their emblem

That's not how it works

If someone didn't have their gamertag up when the winners were drawn, then they're not considered. They'll have to win another giveaway.

[pale olive]

yeah

[cinder isle]

Oof, that’s unfortunate. I’d just get my GT up and reenter the ones that are still up and hope you win.

Hey that’s my IG! Thank you @tame sandal

[upper kindle]

Halo XsX edition?

[pale olive]

yep

[tame sandal]

That Instagram is one of the only reasons I still have the app

The rest are a couple of friends and PC setups

[unique karma]

🙂 glad I could help. It’s an honest job but someone’s gotta do it.

[upper kindle]

Nicee

That xbox looks great

[pale olive]

i agree

[dull raptor]

i missed that window 2 hours ago because i had to sl- nevermind it's still ongoing

[untold wagon]

Big thanks to Sam and Stckr for the drops over the weekend. Much love and thanks for giving me the opportunity to snag the Earth pony

[atomic basalt]

im 4 mins away from clean sweep 😔

[dull raptor]

HCS banner drop isn't showing up on PC, yet it is on mobile? (both Twitch)

don't wanna have to leave my phone idle 😨

[tame tapir]

I didn't get the backdrops nor the charm, but I did get the banners on Twitch

I read on the chat that someone said that they changed it last minute, and I didn't understand

Any words about the drops?

And for some reason they don't show up on the locked options?

[dull raptor]

im assuming there's no more drops to be unlocked rn

[tame tapir]

Nope, and I checked, and I didn't actually got the things

Thanks to the backwards Twitch app pop ups I thought I got them, and when I checked twitter I didn't find the times, it was for 1 hour on the Make-A-Wish streams, 2 hours on the co-streams, and 1 hour on the final, which I didn't catch fully, I missed the 15 minutes, and the game ended at the 45 minutes, it didn't even reach an hour, that's how quick Sentinels wiped the floor... welp

[compact vessel]

Hey what's going on fellers 😊

[wintry quail]

For the clean sweep charm, I was at 80% and the progress stopped, I left it on and went to bed. Woke up and found out I didn't get the charm, the drop progress still at 80% 😩
Didn't realize they had another announcement to watch partners stream...

[tame tapir]

Pretty wacky stuff, but whatever, it's over now, maybe next time I'll be luckier and more attentive

Yup, I missed the giveaways right away

[torpid beacon]

HCS store will be back?

[grand sparrow]

I’d be cool if they brought the previous HCS bundles back each official tournament

[thorny gale]

Did anyone here actually watch the game?

[untold wagon]

Yes, unfortunately.

[visual atlas]

HCS Season 2 Shop will have all teams (except Envy) new bundle:

https://twitter.com/hcs/status/1520177856239706112?s=21&t=af6Hy2hnQSw6qsgHqweBrg

[quiet prairie]

Navi have a new bundle too no ?

[visual atlas]

oops, I meant Envy

[cold fossil]

Guess I’ve missed the discord charm?

[dim depot]

Well, what a prediction.

[dull raptor]

most people, actually

[sleek sundial]

I don’t understand why they made the charm progress at the last hour of the main stream and have us watch it on another. I let the stream play as I was sleeping and I woke up with 91%. That’s really annoying.

[visual atlas]

pranked

[dim depot]

I think the charm was for the finals though?

[honest jungle]

It was for the finals, then Halo raided someone else where you could get the charm as well

[sleek sundial]

I understand that, but did they last minute decide to switch the charm progress to another stream because it ended early?

[dim depot]

Oh, I didn't realise that. I just left my computer on overnight to get it. It seems like I made progress on it twice though and managed to get it once.

[calm obsidian]

who won

[dim depot]

Sen

[calm obsidian]

nice

always enjoy a close but no cigar finish for c9, it's endearingly memey at this point (speaking across all games, not just halo)

[visual atlas]

C9 got smacked, literal clean sweep from SEN

4 - 0, just like that weapon charm

[dim depot]

Optic and Sen was much closer.

[rapid marten]

Quadrant and Sen was much closer

[thorny crescent]

there was no charm available from the discord

the charm was from the stream

the discord giveaways were for the unicorn of the earth nameplate which are, for now, finished. but it will return (:

[visual atlas]

loving the discord drops, hoping to see more items up for grabs in the future too

[cold fossil]

Sorry that’s what I meant sorry

[warm rampart]

I know HCS is coming bringing out new bundles, but anyone know if you will still be able to purchase the marmot kit?

[nova vapor]

Anyone know how to enter open brackets at the HCS events??

[thorny gale]

everyone i know turned on the stream for the charm lol

[dull raptor]

i know a lot of people that stayed after the charms

[thorny gale]

Ok

[quaint basin]

Isn't the next round in 7 hours?

[stuck mountain]

the fomo is the game is so weird, majority of it is garbage but people want it to badly lol fomo is a real thing

[hidden swallow]

Cloud9

[forest galleon]

I watched the whole thing. Congrats to SENTINELS.

[timid wagon]

Being in the venue was crazy!!! The volume of the cheering and stuff was incredible. Hope to see more people in Orlando 🙌🏻

[stuck mountain]

How many people were in the venue

[arctic quiver]

[timid wagon]

That would be a question better asked to staff. But every single spectator seat was full even while open bracket games were being played lol

I think there were more spectators than players it seemed it was wild

[stuck mountain]

That's good!

[tranquil plank]

Does anyone know where can I find the schedule for tournaments?

[cinder urchin]

Usually they have the timeline for events in the stream. Correct me if im wrong but I think orlando isnt until september? But yeah you should be able to find it through timeline I know I saw it on twitch (probably posted somewhere too) if youre talking about hcs specifically

[copper thunder]

It's such a bummer that the next event is in 4 months

I love these LAN tournaments

[vague mulch]

why is it so hard to keep the twitch campaign running a few more hours, so EU can claim their drops if they went to bed and let the stream open
100% for the last drop and couldn't claim it

[somber swift]

They hosted another streamer, and let 2 different streamers activate the drop

You just needed to click the "see more" thing under your Twitch inventory and it does an auto search for who is streaming with drops enabled.

[somber swift]

https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-ca/news/hcs-2021-2022-season-reveal

[tranquil plank]

Thank you!!

[past grove]

Thanks

[vague mulch]

yea, but I'm not talking about the backdrop stuff
just the clean sweep charm, which progress counted at 3am my time

[frozen briar]

yes, that was for clean sweep, they activated clean sweep progress for 2 streamers after the main stream ended

[somber swift]

What Aegis said

However, you may have needed to refresh the stream to make it count

Unfortunately there's no real way around this, and that's just how timezones work

[vague mulch]

it says one of the participating channels and listed are Halo, HCS, Xbox, hcs_red, hcs_blue etc.

[somber swift]

Sometimes there are giveaways for EU or AUS tournaments, and it's in the middle of the night for north america

[somber swift]

Yeah, and they added those 2 extra streams when the tournament ended quickly

If you continue to watch any of the co streamers until midnight (3 hours from now) you can still unlock the drop. People have already been unlocking it.

[vague mulch]

yea that's why I said let the campaign run for a few more hours, not the stream, the campaign on twitch, so I can claim my 100% drop

[somber swift]

@vague mulch

[vague mulch]

Mo., 2. Mai, 02:18 - Mo., 2. Mai, 07:00 MESZ
sure if they extended it to the whole day

[somber swift]

And this.

North Americans need to stay up late to earn this stuff when it happens

[vague mulch]

same problem and I hope they can find a way around that, so all folks can claim drops at their respective timezone

[somber swift]

Many of these items also get offered again, so far.
So maybe it'll be available during Orlando

[somber swift]

They want people to watch the tournaments while the tournaments are live.
Giving items away while not during the tournament defeats the whole purpose of the drops - which is to increase viewership

It's a business, and it's run on metrics.
One metric is total viewers, or also max viewers.

Advertisers like to see this number.

HCS is going to reduce the effectiveness of the drops by spreading them out.

[vague mulch]

its not about giving them for free, I did watch the stream or lets say, let it run in the background while I were sleeping, so I increased their viewership

its about that I cant claim it now

[somber swift]

It normally wouldn't be an issue if Sen didn't sweep C9, haha

[vague mulch]

😅 yea

[somber swift]

But they can't plan for that, so they did the next best thing - let 2 other streamers activate the drop on the fly

[sleek sundial]

I would’ve suggested the next best thing would be to play back highlights or put music in the background until the appropriate time is over. Not end it early and give the drops to a co-steamer.

But I already saw it as a problem when I saw that they were gonna let us progress the charm towards the end of the stream instead of the entire day. As if we don’t have to get up early for work the next day.

[somber swift]

I feel you, but they had an opportunity to capitalize on the large viewership to host someone else.
Letting people sit on a background music stream for what, another hour?
That kills momentum.

[somber swift]

Ideally they should let it count starting in losers finals

[sleek sundial]

Nevertheless, I’m salty and upset lol

[rough dawn]

How do I get the unicorn plate

[supple kettle]

In order to be eligible to participate in the giveaway at #giveaways and various other channels, you must have your Xbox gamertag linked to your Discord account. To do that, go to Settings -> Connections, select Xbox, and follow the login process. Make sure "Display on Profile" is ticked on, or else you will not be eligible to participate.

[somber swift]

hopefully they do more drops with this item in the future tournaments. Many of them have been repeated already at least once.

[split furnace]

will the weapon charm come out later again or was it a one time thing?

because it was very hard for eu people to get it when it comes out at 3 am

so they should do it one more time this week for eu people

just my opinion on this

[sleek sundial]

Doubt it. It’s either going to come back in future tournaments or not at all.

[past grove]

Who knows.. they ran back the milked nameplate at some point

[split furnace]

its kind of unfair tho that eu people always have to stay up till 1 am or 3 am to get the items

[latent musk]

is the unicorn emblem still running?

[split furnace]

yea

[quiet prairie]

Which one ?

[somber swift]

there was a drop during the last EU Super

Probably going to be one during Valencia too

[quiet prairie]

yes it was given to all the Super (including MX)

https://twitter.com/HCS/status/1499550780726001666

[split furnace]

this one again bro

[somber swift]

yeah, it's an old tweet

[split furnace]

nvm just saw the date

[somber swift]

yeah, that's one of them!

I imagine something will be given away for Valencia too.

[latent musk]

nice thx

[quiet prairie]

nah i don't think so. But again, it was available in NA time zone

[somber swift]

wanna side wager that Valencia will have twitch drops?

[quiet prairie]

They will, not this one I think

[sleek sundial]

They did? When did they do that? I didn’t get anything about that on twitter.

[quiet prairie]

Not really in the theme of a European Super

[somber swift]

yeah, that's why I said something will be given away

[past grove]

Not recently @sleek sundial

[quiet prairie]

ho, sry i misread

[past grove]

I just know they brought it twice

[sleek sundial]

I need a third time lol

[quiet prairie]

https://twitter.com/HCS/status/1470503909978517513
https://twitter.com/HCS/status/1490041360996450308 (at least twice)

[past grove]

For that unicorn emblem only 20 people are selected from a pool of 2500+???

[somber swift]

I've grabbed a few of these drops more than once.
I haven't hit every repeat though (not that I need to) but it just shows they do repeat for sure.

[sleek sundial]

I don’t think I was there for the first one on December. The second one was unfair, because they disclaimed it was going to be available during the weekend and they only showcased it on Friday (which btw, is not a weekend).

[somber swift]

there were also tons of smaller giveaways in this channel.

And more will happen Sam said, during future events

[dull raptor]

take it from me, i got 3 hours of sleep and ended up having to nap in the middle of the day 😵‍💫

[split furnace]

i had work dude i fell asleep at 2 am and woke up at 7:30 and had 15 minutes to watch its just not fair bro

[past grove]

If those odds are true then they are worse than the chief taking on the banished army

[somber swift]

🤷‍♂️ What do you expect from an open server?

[hidden acorn]

There were quite a few 1-3 minute lightning giveaways. I won the emblem off one of those.

[somber swift]

right here in this channel there were some giveaways with only like 100 people entering, or less

[latent musk]

You should see the odds for winning an HaloxAMD GPU lol

[hidden acorn]

One happened in #español and only like ten people entered lol

[drifting pine]

When does optic play

[latent musk]

Yesterday

[drifting pine]

Wait what

[quiet prairie]

same here i tried to stay conscious at 1 am last night to see the end, but I ended just keeping my phone on the stream just to be awaken by the victory of sentinel, so not a lot of sleep too XD

[latent musk]

I wish Neekolul were my Spanich teacher

[drifting pine]

Wdym yesterday

[frozen briar]

[velvet brook]

Tbh I think too many

[past grove]

Yeah probably cause you have it

[velvet brook]

understandable, and i had that in my msg before i deleted it lol. but i watched like a hawk for it and got into one for 15 codes that had like 17 entrants late night so where there's a will there's a way 👍

[past grove]

@velvet brook I’ll 1v1 you for a code

I like the fire unicorn emblem more actually.. it’s harder to get

[split furnace]

Easy to say for American people

Everything only drops at the right Times for you guys

[white parrot]

How do you get the fire unicorn?

[past grove]

Originally it was given to top players during the tech preview tests. Now it is given out for being featured in “community spotlight” on halo waypoint.

[white parrot]

Alright thx

[past grove]

The ice unicorn is obtained by playing with a 343 employee during community play date

[narrow narwhal]

Is this real https://youtube.com/shorts/LjPUrTbe82g?feature=share

[split furnace]

But almost only American players can join them

[white parrot]

Does 343 have any devs on eu servers?

[split furnace]

Because of local servers

[past grove]

Life ain’t meant to be fair

[split furnace]

But alsof not to only make IT so American players het it all

And the rest almost nothing

[past grove]

Hey man I work regular hours so I can’t even play during those community hours. It’s not like I have it either

[white parrot]

I work 2/3 rotating weeks, so im missing out on 2 weeklies every 5 weeks atleast

[arctic quiver]

What do you mean is it real?

[somber swift]

Correction:
Everything drops during the streams.
So if the tournament takes place in North America, there you go.
But if in EU or AUS, then those streams get things sometimes too

[split furnace]

What streams and what items Tell me pls because i havnt seen any

[somber swift]

Watch HCS Twitter

Next major tournament is in Valencia

[split furnace]

Lets see what we Will get. Probably Just items grom last events

[quiet prairie]

no i don't think so

[somber swift]

And if you missed them because you're not in the right timezone, well isn't that a good thing?

[tepid mason]

I missed the first halo infinite hcs tournament will those be there?

[split furnace]

There is no info about up comming hcs yet

[tepid mason]

@split furnace ok thanks!

[split furnace]

When it Comes to prizes at least

[somber swift]

no idea

Oh well seems no nameplates for me haha

[somber ridge]

wait for the next official HCS stream

[upper kindle]

Whens that

[somber ridge]

7/30

7/1 - 7/3 actually

[somber swift]

there's one in Europe sooner

[somber ridge]

7/1 is for Euro champion. nothing earlier than that.
stole it from here
https://www.halowaypoint.com/news/hcs-2021-2022-season-reveal

[somber swift]

ah, you're right

[ripe briar]

I didn't watch Raleigh HCS - was this one better or worse in terms of cool plays, good matchups, etc.?

[iron ridge]

Are they doing any more unicorn nameplate giveaways or is that it? So stupid the chances of getting one are so slim

[ripe briar]

I think they're done with "planned" giveaways - the next planned chance would be next HCS

They can give them away on a whim though, but it's less common outside of HCS

[iron ridge]

Well that’s frustrating as hell but oh well, thanks anyway

[sullen venture]

Has anyone here won the unicorn nameplate? Did it show up in game immediately or take a little while to show up? I'm not seeing it in-game. I have my Xbox account linked and showing so that shouldn't be it.

[ripe briar]

A 343 dev has to manually add it. If you won recently, it'll depend on when one of them gets the list for it. Over the weekend because we had a dev hanging out to watch HCS with us it was fairly quick, but I'd assume it may take a couple of days if you won today

Also, once they add it you must restart the game for it to show up - it's worth doing so now if you haven't fully rebooted the game today

[sullen venture]

@ripe briar thanks. I've restarted and nothing yet. I'll just sit tight.

[somber swift]

Finals were anti climatic for the most part, Sen swept C9 - although game 2 was close.

[ripe briar]

I'm in KC so I attended this one - I'm curious how Raleigh was in comparison

Probably wouldn't be fair for me to review Raleigh online & compare since I'd be biased lol

[somber swift]

oops, I misread

[ripe briar]

No prob. Any thoughts or did you also skip watching Raleigh?

[somber swift]

I watched lots of Raleigh and missed Saturday of KC

It's interesting how the winner of the grand finals in both seemed to just dominate though

[cedar finch]

It showed up in my nameplate immediately

[ripe briar]

It was absolutely nuts live, the crowd for the last 6-7 main stage matchups was stellar so it was a great atmosphere

[sullen venture]

@cedar finch was it from today's drawing?

[cedar finch]

Naw Saturday

[ripe briar]

I'm hoping it's not ruined the online experience for me when it comes to the next few because I want to watch them now

[somber swift]

depends which giveaway you won.

Some of them Sam was granting immediately, others might not be actually granted yet.

They are all granted manually.

[sullen venture]

Yeah this tourney was even better than Raleigh. So glad Sen dethroned C9. It was getting boring with them constantly at the helm.

[somber swift]

I could hear the crowd on stream - so hopefully you can still feel a bit of that hype when watching online

[ripe briar]

What's funny in hindsight is that Sen had the first booth when you got upstairs to the main event, and a larger area as well. Glad to see C9 dethroned as well

[ripe briar]

Oh that's awesome, I knew we were loud but didn't think it was that loud haha

I think it would've been even busier if we hadn't had Comicon the weekend before. Lots of my friends weren't even aware HCS was here until I brought it up

[somber swift]

It comes through.
Not sure if the mic'd the crowd or if it was just coming through the announcer's mics

I wouldn't be surprised if they had a few room mics set up to capture the sound, just like in traditional sports.

[somber swift]

was it not sold out for spectators?

[sullen venture]

@ripe briar you guys got me so pumped with your cheering. Did you ever see that guy with the "I <3 moms" sign?

[ripe briar]

Nope, they were selling general admission at $20 a day - seats to main stage were filled at finals but plenty of people wandering in & standing. I bet they didn't want to cap it until they reached fire code capacity

[ripe briar]

LOL no I didn't, that's hilarious. Was he on stream at some point?

[somber swift]

I see.

Raleigh sold out, but I guess it was a smaller venue

afaik, KC had more tickets sold

[sullen venture]

For just a couple of seconds on stream behind the announcers. Was hilarious @ripe briar

[ripe briar]

You're right about the venue for sure, they also used the exact same floor that Comicon had & I'm sure they had more attendees for that. I'm sure that helped a lot

[somber swift]

I'm super interested to watch next month's online games - new map and mode in HCS!

[ripe briar]

Or I guess not exactly but it was the same convention center, just a diff spot.

YES it's going to be great, hope those make it into HCS rotation quickly

[ripe briar]

That's freakin' great, I'll need to look for it on streams

[somber swift]

they are instantly

Tashi said so, right away

[ripe briar]

Ooooo that's neat

[somber swift]

Beginning with the very next Online tournament

This is going to make Scrims even more important for the teams

[ripe briar]

Oh for sure

My first thought was wondering if they got early access, but that would've been a bad thing to do if they were focused on prepping for this tourney

[somber swift]

yeah

[ripe briar]

So now it'll be a race to get comfortable with new maps

[somber swift]

May 29th and June 2 are gonna be the first times we see it.

[untold wagon]

Focus on positioning and be more cautious taking fights. It’s an elimination mode not Slayer. It’s a totally different play style. But once you get used to the flow of it this mode is insanely fun.

Based on the general feedback from the playerbase and the competitive scene i hope 343 will consider reverting some of the changes they made to slides and in particular on the maps to avoid the so called skill jumps.

Im a experienced halo player looking to create a team to coach and not play on. Im very competitive and have been playing halo since the first one and did MLG in the past.

Spartan’s fine: This has nothing to do w/ censoring criticism about the game, we have never levied a fine for simply criticizing the game. Other pros have tweeted against some of the changes that have come with S2 in a professional way, the dev team has heard them loud & clear.

Twitter · May 11, 2022, 8:16 PM

[upbeat acorn]

i’m glad he tweeted it too

[clever canopy]

Thank you for the information!

[somber swift]

I'm even happier to see Spartan's adult response

[upbeat acorn]

oh i haven’t seen he blocked me because i said it was a fine well deserved imo, but hopefully they all move on from that now and focus on something else.

[somber swift]

shame he blocked you, because it WAS deserved.
Oh well

[somber swift]

here you go:

[primal ivy]

Calling out a game’s problems and why they make professional play difficult or unplayable. Yep better fine that mofo.

[arctic quiver]

Once again, it wasn't what he did it was how he chose to do it. It wasn't constructive or helpful

[primal ivy]

😭😭😭😭😭

Imagine fining speech that isn’t a call to action

Look if they wanna slap him on the wrist and tell him to cool it that’s one thing. But being fined over $3k? What a joke.

[arctic quiver]

Sometimes a slap on the wrist doesn't cut it.

[primal ivy]

Oh so go straight for the $3k, yep, reasonable. I’m sure that won’t have any backlash.

If anything it makes them as bad as him. If they can’t express the same patience and restraint they demand from their players, that’s just pitiful.

ESPECIALLY when his gripes are valid

[arctic quiver]

There's every chance he has been spoken to about this kind of behavior already and the fine was the next step

There's a huge difference between trashing the game and the developers and providing meaningful and actionable feedback

[primal ivy]

Even still. Being fined for saying something that isn’t a call to action is kinda cringe. That’s some 🇨🇳💩 right there bro.

[arctic quiver]

It's not, but ok

Actions have consequences

[primal ivy]

Oh you’re right, they’d find him and beat him.

[arctic quiver]

:/

[primal ivy]

It’s true.

[primal ivy]

Oh yes let’s fine everyone $3k for saying something that might hurt the feelings of a multimillion-dollar corporation.

I am looking for a server for competitive scrims(halo infinite)

[primal ivy]

This guy get it

[upbeat acorn]

yeah he could of said this in the beginning lol instead of the devs are f brain rot, the f game is unplayable use my fine money to hire ppl who will fix the f game etc,.. ppl commented under his videos they won’t buy the game because of the things he said. but we know there’s ppl playing halo infinite everyday. so it’s weird some think a fine over 3k is over the top for someone with that reach and rep. what he tweet here proves what he did was a bit pointless because he ended up admitting more or less he was wrong or at least the approach he took was and he’s the one that got fined for it and even tho he can obv afford to pay it he’s had extra support from viewers/streamers because of this.. it was all so corny but the good thing is they are moving past it and good news soon.

That's huge.

Your best bet is to play online in ranked and make sure you can at least hit Onyx.
Then, try messaging people in #lfg-hcs-scrims-or-teams to see if anyone wants to try playing a few games with you🙂

[torpid beacon]

Hi

[copper thunder]

So i'm watching the Lady Spartans Pro Series right now and can't help but think that they should have their own or even better play alongside the HCS during LAN events. The level is high and i think some of the players deserve the main stage and the whole movement could only benefit from being in the spotlight. Just my opinion.

[ornate whale]

I don’t think the following would be big enough but yeah would cool

[primal ivy]

Just a friendly reminder that Spartan did nothing wrong

[cedar finch]

Spartan just said the wrong thing at the wrong time with the wrong manner I mean I like Spartan and I feel bad that this is all happening to him I feel that he doesn’t really deserve all the hate he is given

And everything with eunited really isn’t his fault I dont blame him for benching himself

I hope he is able to get on another team! 🙏

[thorny crescent]

[somber swift]

considering directly below this channel is one that starts with 'lfg' I don't think that's the issue.
People just don't read/think

[thorny crescent]

just "hcs chat" would confuse people more i think

[copper thunder]

I just watched this https://youtu.be/gfj_aaQwAV8 Even more impressive how Royal 2 took out Formal with sword and camo. I thought that it was more out of luck but he saw him coming.

[somber swift]

Great players/teams will always have a general awareness of where a camo player should be

[somber swift]

Does anyone know from past World Championships that run 4 days - is the Thursday typically a full day, or just evening only?

[quiet prairie]

When are we gonna have the new rules for season 2 ?

and infos about the first pro series (are teams seeded ? how many ? which ones ?)

[somber swift]

I don't think there are any new rules, other than those for King of the Hill which need to be laid out

[quiet prairie]

What is it supposed to answer ?

[somber swift]

I'm showing you the seeds

[quiet prairie]

not at all

[somber swift]

to be honest, the info isn't very consolidated

[somber swift]

how is this not a snapshot of some of the seeds?

[quiet prairie]

it's a leaderboard, not a seed...

[somber swift]

is that not the same thing, essentially?

[quiet prairie]

nope, leaderboard is individual, and i'm speaking of seeding in pro series not open series, so without point

[somber swift]

pro series still earns them points

it's all done by points

the way the seeds work:

Individual player earn points based on placings in various events.

Take 4 people that choose to play on a team together, add up their points, and compare that to the other teams of 4 points that are added up.

That gives you the seeds, essentially

unless i'm completely wrong?

[quiet prairie]

ok, maybe you d'ont understand me then. I'm not speaking of points given to player but of seeding for the first pro series

[somber swift]

ok, and I'm telling you that as far as I know, the points given to players determines their seeding for the first pro series

[quiet prairie]

source ?

[somber swift]

So, from the image above, you can see Sentinels is seeded #1

[somber swift]

https://www.halowaypoint.com/news/hcs-2021-2022-season-reveal
and
https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2022/01/HCS-2022-Program-Handbook_v1.02.pdf

[quiet prairie]

it's for split 1

secondly the first pro series for spli1 was done by seeding from Raleigh...

my point is to say that, for now, we don't know who are going to be seeded in the first pro series (those from KC? Points ? all from open series 1 ?)
That's my question

[somber swift]

the rules/format still apply.
also, the screenshot I posted above talks about the split and how points decay, and how points from KC do not decay

[quiet prairie]

and ? what it as to do with the seeding in Pro Series 1 ?

Points are used in championships, some super and inside the opens, that's it

[somber swift]

yeah, they need to do a much better job at presenting current information

it's pretty convoluted

I feel like the top 8 NA teams from KC will be prequalified for the next pro series

5/2 - 5/22: Player Break
5/23: Split 2 begins
5/29: NA Open Series
6/2: NA Pro Series
6/5: NA Open Series
6/9: NA Pro Series
6/12: NA Open Series
6/16: NA Pro Series
6/19: NA Open Series
6/26: NA Open Series
7/10: NA Open Series
7/23 - 7/24: NA Super Qualifier
7/25: Roster Lock NA Super 2022
7/30 - 7/31: NA Super Open Bracket
8/5 - 8/7: NA Super 2022

Given that the open series takes place first, I imagine the top 8 from the first open will get invited to the Pro on 6/2

weren't pro series always 16 teams?

[quiet prairie]

yes they are 16 teams
So the question is (with minimum 8 from the Open) how many come from Seeding, from KC, or from the open ? (especially for non-NA region)

[somber swift]

So with 16 teams, I don't think they're putting in more than 8 from the open - so the top 8 NA teams from KC will be in the first NA pro series.

I'd have to look into the other regions more to know them

[quiet prairie]

Yes the question was never on NA, it's pretty straightforward

[somber swift]

here's a good resource
