    I felt the same way. had to take a little break. Then that happened! Yikes. Kind of put me in the mood, so I went back in and... sure enough. the Wish List sale granted me a fine freebie indeed with my Daz + coupon.

    Cool. Now I can take a break?

     

    I don't know... free sales always inspire me for more!!! LOL

    Just in case someone misses it: according to the new banner on the main page, Daz Tokens are going away.

    Yeah, that figures.  Eliminate Tokens right before Black Friday so that the deals will be even worse than the ones in their dissapointing Pre-Black Friday promotion.  DAZ has been doing their best to walk my business as of late and Tokens were one of the main things keeping me buying on a regular basis, so I suspect this may ultimately hurt DAZ worse than me if I'm at all typical.    

    ....indeed. Well, at least i have my last months worth of Daz+ coupons to use before my membership expires.

    ...so is anyone else as confused as I am about how today's sale works?

    Crikey I studied advanced calculus and abstract algebra and it still has me scratching my head.

    this is usually the sign for me to leave the store for the day. My mantra has changed from "there is always another sale" to "there is always another sale that's actually comprehensible."

    To get the "extra 50% off* all items", one must have 5 items from "‘Scouted’ New Releases" or 5 items from "Featured Artist Stores & Top Sellers" in the cart

    I put 5 pose packs from my wishlist and they went to 91% Off, before any tokens.... pretty sweat deal.

    And on top of that, monthly Daz+ coupons will work too (well, depending on what you have in the cart). But yes, putting any 5 items from the featured artists triggers the discount, so technically, you don't need any new releases = no buy in. 

  • The Lighting  deals are jumping up in price in the cart again

    But one can't use the monthly Daz+ coupon, if one already uses the coupons from yesterdays sale, which have no restriction on how many times they can be used and which combined with todays 50% off gives DO items 97% off without using any tokens.

    That cannot possibly be intentional :D

    Buy X items of this to get Y% of of that, it's not working probably because it's too confusing because it's made too complicated so screw it, I'm not wasting my time on it, no sale for you, Daz.

    I took the plunge on Mira as I could buy the parts of the starter bundle (that i wanted) for way less seperately. (I gave up working DAZ maths out ages ago i just plonk stuff in the cart and see what happens)

    Mira 9 HD $6.13
    Mira 9 HD Makeup Collection $2.45
    Nocturne Outfit for Genesis 9 $3.06

  • Aztec Pyramids 2 is in today's new releases. Was there ever a Aztec Pyramids 1?

    I was puzzled by that, I certainly don't recall one. Though at a glance they looked more Maya to me.

    Seems a similar oddity of release order to the Polaris Props releasing before the Polaris Hangar. I am really looking forward to seeing the other set though!

    edit: The features lists pyramids 5-8 and so should be 1-4 in the phantom Aztec Pyramids 1 set, I imagine.

    6 of 18 coupon excludes new releases, so you have to have a total of $18 of non-new products in the cart for it to work.

    If the sale confuses me and I want to see what's going on, I just drop some stuff in the cart and watch what happens. 

    Wow did I ever score yesterday.

     

    After our meeting today I'm going to beg Rosie for another "Small Purchase" :)

    Between all the discounts, tokens, coupons and by use my super power of trying to put random stuff into my cart to see how much it costs...., I somehow managed to get Van Helsing 9 HD Pro Bundle to $8.33

    Nice! I only have 4 tokens, but  $12 and some change that it shows for in my cart is still a steal for a pro bundle. Especially that I don't own a single item from it.

    Now I'm trying to argue with myself which of the other 18 products in the cart should stay in it...

    Congrats! That's a nice looking bundle!

    I did get paid today, so it's tempting :D. Too bad I can't pay my book editor with renders... ;)

    So...the sale promo says buy 5 "Scouted" new releases to get an EXTRA 50% off of them...all five items in my cart are from that list, but they are definitely NOT mathing out to getting an additional 50% off the price listed on my sales screen.  See attached screenshots.  Can anyone help?  The price for the cart isn't a bad thing at all...but it doesn't add up the way the sale SAYS it will, which is my concern.

  • They're all right around 5/7 of the advertised price. This is consistent with replacing the 30% intro discount with a 50% discount, which is not the expected behavior.

    @Xandyr78

    If it's: 30% for Daz Original + 30% for new + 50% for the five

    Then for your first item at a base price of 24.99 it seems to work out as:

    24.99 * 0.7 = 17.493 * 0.7 = 12.2451 * 0.5 = 6.12255

    Which matches your 6.12 price for that item when rounded down.

     

    edit: grammar
