    Is it free if you need to buy something that you not own... and don't want? I'm really disappointed about that behavior...  

    The SP freebie is free without having to buy anything else (if you're a pass holder). It's in your product library (now), you don't even have to "buy" it. 

    I need to buy the war goblin... frown to use this SP "freebie"... 

    Ah, okay. I see what you mean. I was thinking of something else. 

  • I found interesting the thing about using Filament for faster and more accurate viewport, sadly I tend to use mesh lights a lot more so it's still not very useful to me

    I'd also point out that 3d Universe's catalog is in the sale category for today's stuff... and Jay also showed off those really interesting Pose Architect dials and scene tools. (I already like 3du's figures, toons, and clothing items, so I'll probably have to open up the wallet yet again.)

    ...

    Also, a few more Jacquelines in the #seasonpass category.
    https://www.daz3d.com/gallery/category/seasonpass

    Including at least one that was submitted as a Contest entry! (according to the description, anyway)

    Reminder that the Contest is supposed to close on May 4, 2021 at 11:59pm (Mountain time).

    Of course, without people submitting to the gallery, it's even harder to know how many people have entered this time. I'm guessing the theme will be more appealing to more people than Brooke's "business industry", however.

    ... just the 5 figures and their HD morphs are already worth the 150$...

    For me, the (probably) aren't. Not only because I don't have any desire to G8.1 figures right now, but at least the two figures already released are of no interest for me. And I expect it the same for the next three, if they turn out to be like the majority of named figures of the last months.

    So yes, for some people, those who buy every named figure for whatever reason - collecting, maybe - these figures do have a value. It's just not an automatic for all people buying here. So for some - like me - this business policy of "give us your money and you get something you might like or not" is beyond of fishy. But that's okay... There's other shops and even DAZ manages to offer deals that makes me spend money here... so I don't really understand the need for discussion here, as there always is the one ultimate option to be taken when one doesn't like an offer: just ignore it.

  • ...so I don't really understand the need for discussion here, as there always is the one ultimate option to be taken when one doesn't like an offer: just ignore it.

    Yeah, that has been exactly the point since the beginning of this thread and pretty much what I said in that same post. But for some reason people who are obviously not interested in it keeps bashing on it, I can only guess it's because it was not for them and they don't like that.

    Will the webinar be available for purchase? It sounds interesting. 

  • For whatever it's worth, as a SP buyer I really wouldn't mind if it was made available for free to everyone. Like I have said, it's the one thing I think shouldn't have been part of the SP since it was not something aimed for everybody or maybe even the average Daz user, while the webinar is

  • xyer0xyer0 Posts: 5,906

    Aren't forums the place where people discuss things? I'd like there to be free discussions for as long as possible. It will be missed once it's gone.

    woop woop, just submitted my entry. That took longer than is normal for me, but meh... it worked okay if I didn't disqualify myself for other reasons.

    I'll sign it and create a "new" jpg to post to the Gallery (my entry doesn't have the signature).

    Get your Contest entries in, all you Season Pass elites!
    *twirls elite mustache in an elitist way*


    The Season Pass/No-SP schism makes discussion very weird at times. It's weird to be kind of a gatekeeper of information about Daz stuff, as little information as I actually have.

    thank you! I picked that up this time!

    And again i got a banner new character Release but both links go to an Oops Page:

    Jazz 8.1 = Page Not Found (daz3d.com)

    Jazz 8.1 HD Add-On = Page Not Found (daz3d.com)

    My personal opinion: you can make a error one time, also two times, maybe tree times - but ever?

    The War Goblin Poses are not in my Product Library. When I go to the product page, they are not marked as purchased. When I put them in the cart, they do not ring up as Free.

    But I've got two orange banners that tell me something different should have happened.

    Same here and the new banner is offering me 15% off of a  bundle I already own

    Same here. I got a discount on a product I already have, and don't have the freebie in the product library, nor does it become free in the cart.

    Inquiry sent on the latter.

  • LeanaLeana Posts: 11,639

    Daz obviously shouldn't have put links in the message, but the fact that they lead to a "opps" page is "normal" since it's early release so the product pages are not up in the store yet.

    My guess is they can't put it in the store before the actual release. Though I don't understand why they don't set the link to the product library. And of course, put the product in the library...
  • LyonessLyoness Posts: 1,615

    Jazz will not have a daz page until she is released for everyone.

  • AtiAti Posts: 9,129

    I'm confused. The message tells me to go and get the new item. But how? Where?

    It will be added to your product library, like the previous ones. Obviously it should already be there according to the message, but I don't see it yet.

    reported
    so I'm sorry to say, that we don't have access to Jazz tonight.  The banner is incorrect.  It seems to be sending us to look at what we get, but sadly.... it's not yet available.
    SORRY.
    I've passed the word along.

    Forgot to say that: not in the product library and not available via DIM - same procedure as with the products before! 

  • xyer0xyer0 Posts: 5,906

    Psych! They did it again, silly wabbit! Don't you know that we won't get the new character until a little less than 11 hours from Daz midnight? That's what they did the last two times, and this must be their rule. Of course, if it's an actual rule, then they probably won't do it.

    No Freebie in my Library / DIM / anywhere Ok, finally it found its way into my DIM

    But ... still No Link to the Webinar

    Strange offer from yesterday:

    Our Way of Saying Thanks

    As a special thanks to our Season Pass members, enjoy an EXTRA 15% OFF the Folklore Battle Bundle and your freebie Item of Warrior Goblin Poses for War Goblin HD.

    Discount valid for intended recipients only.

    WHAT?

    15% off, - of a Bundle I already have - and from a Pose-Set, I should have received as a freebie? ;) 

    Well, very interesting way to say thank you.

    Now I feel exceptional. ;) 

     


    Oh, my ... and now again .... 
    No new Figure although the orange Banner is telling me it should be in my Library?!

    Your Newest Character Release

    Jazz 8.1 and the Jazz 8.1 HD Add-on are now available to you before they're released to the public, so get yours today!

    NO! It's not available. Not in Library not in DIM

    Early access?

    Right. Last time for me to invest in such "loot boxes"... very very very disappointed sad.

    But look at my "Badge"! Headbang against anything! angry

    Hello All:

    1) I'm kind of glad I'm not imagining the problems with the delivery of this program. I thought it was just me. 

    2) I also did not get the goblins poses until this morning. Admittedly, I wasn't worried because it was a pose set for a figure I don't own. What a freebie? I don't know who made the decision to make that pose set free, but it seemed more like an advertisement to buy the goblin than it did anything else. The other freebies were more general and could be used by almost anyone. The goblins, not so much. I just don't understand this decision. But at least I could download them, a day late.

    3) Jazz is at least showing up in my inbox more than a day early from its release (I guess). One of my biggest complaints so far with the program is that when we've received the other two figures, it was not at least 24 hours in advance. I often check out the website first thing in the morning (before 9AM EST) and then maybe late at night (after 11PM EST). And both of the two previous figures showed up to me late at night, usually 3 or 4 hours before they actually were released. 

    4) Is there going to be a link for those of us who couldn't make the community webinar? I haven't seen anything yet. I'm going to go back and hunt through these messages to see, but thought I would say something here since I was making a list. (UPDATE - I did just see a previous post that said the webinar would be made available at a later date)

    I'm pretty okay with the Season Pass content so far. The first two figures are great imho, and the freebies are fine.
    And since the core figures and HD were the only stuff I regularly got for the last months, and are consistently solid, it didn't seem like a huge gamble for me.

    Now the organization around the SP could definitely be a lot smoother. Contest parameters change or are unclear.
    Discounts or special offers disappear too quickly, ​and banners consistently show up hours or even days before the items.

    Especially the last one seems to irk a lot of folks.
    I presume the banners are scheduled to activate automatically after they're set up, whereas the content itself goes through a different system?
    So after it happened the first time, you'd think Daz controls for it the second time around? Or at least the third? 
    Yeah, I don't know what's going on there. Maybe different people working with different info?

    Don't get me wrong, I'm happy for any extra freebies.
    And the idea of a Season Pass to package a series of characters with extra benefits like contests is great.
    No regrets from my side, really, but I hope Daz manages to smooth things out for the latter half.

    Again a banner but no product?

    I mean, it's not rocket science. Distribute, then trigger banner.

    Maybe we all should request a refund on this SP sale... because IT HAS definitly NO advantage for anyone... (of us users) sad

  • memcneil70memcneil70 Posts: 4,105

    They were firm on one rule, no refunds on the Season Pass. 

    On the fun side for me, I can barely see this morning. My eye infection seemed to be easing, until I put my glasses on, and I realized everything was widely out of focus. I am only able to see the forums at a +4 enlargement. Tried working with DIM and DS and it is painful. So no matter how good the character is, I doubt I will take it out for a spin for days.

    No, it’s because they REMOVED perks from those who used to get them. I haven’t gotten a single orange banner since this Season Pass started and I used to get them all the time. I used to ALWAYS get orange banners for bundles. I only buy bundles, I have no interest in single core characters but I guess Daz no longer cares about bundle buyers. It’s almost as if Daz has completely lost interest in me as a customer.

    Won't help, the response will be there's so many great attributes to the pass that they hope you'll find something to enjoy. I already sent in a ticket. They have our money. Heck it's been over two weeks since I requested my flair to be removed, still see it. Even got a response saying the request has been put in. I don't believe anything will work out correctly the rest of the way for this, saw the jazz banner last night and laughed when she wasn't in the library. Never again will I do this.
