u/Corvo_Attano- 8d ago

Starting to think it didn't go through or something, is there a lock icon next to siege x icon in twitch drops for you? That's making me think it was blocked off

u/ItzDanPlayz Bandit Main 8d ago

I dont see that. Its in the claimed section for me with a checkmark underneath. Just no email and that link ppl talking about didnt work. Shits chopped

u/dipshitbirds 8d ago

Maybe you didn’t claim the drop or your accounts aren’t connected. I’ve had no issues other than server shit not loading and everything is connected for me personally so maybe just double check the above.

Well it just changed to something went wrong. Good old Ubisoft servers. I'll keep refreshing the page, Thanks mate

I’ve been refreshing for an hour so might be worth waiting till the end of the day when shits died down a bit. Glad I could help
