    The only thing I can think of is that it's actually programmed to start generating different offers on December 2nd (being an advent calendar) and launching it on November 28th instead of December 1st was the actual error.

    I finally got a different Advent offer for December 30. The free item shows free in the cart for me.

    Me too, literally in the last hour or so I would guess. It had been showing yesterday's all day up to then.

    Well, the free item today from Advent Calandar at first showed up free in my shopping cart, but after I'd added two or three other items to the cart, including another, unrelated freebie,and today's Today Only $2.99 item, the advent calendar free item went to $4.09 in my cart.  I took the calendar item off the cart, bought the rest of the stuff, added the advent free item onto a fresh card...  and it was still showing as $4.09

    The flipping heck?

    I don't think all the struggle was worth it for my free 2012 Poser Advent Freebie, though.laugh Definitely not a wishlist item this time.

    ...seems they fixed it as I get a different item showing for today now.

     Mine have all been wishlist items, so far. Decided to clean out some stuff that I am not all that interested in anymore, just in case they pop up, so that I could potentially get a better selection.

    I don't think I have any more ancient wishlist items. The wishlisted product I got the first day was a 2013 texture set for a Genesis 2 outfit. I had wishlisted it recently, because I was able to autofit it to G9 successfully. What is the most recent item you got in your Advent Calendar - anything newer than 2013?

    I picked up a G8 pose set from the Free category today. On second glance, both of today's offerings were G8/G8.1.

    One from 2014, a couple from 2015, and a relatively young 2021 (that one is not the free one).

    Re whether the calendar selection is random or curated: I realised that I have only 3 DAZ Original items on my wishlist; two of them are probably too expensive for the calendar, and the third one is a relatively recent release (but has no longer the "new" label). So perhaps my selection is random because there's nothing from my wishlist to choose from? I'll put some DAZ Originals that should qualify on my wishlist and we'll see.

    Ok, so i put a bunch of DAZ originals on my wishlist yesterday, and voila, today both my calendar items are from my wishlist. It appears that the calendar will choose amongst the DAZ originals from your wishlist as long as they aren't too expensive (I suspect $20 may be the limit for freebies, $30 for 2.99 items) or too recent (G8. 1 seems to be fine).

    Mine was fixed by the time I checked out about 11:00 pm Daz time November 30 but now 2:30 AM December 1, the next day Daz time, it's still the same and hasn't rollovered.

    My Dec. 1 I still doesn't show anything other than the "Click here" message, 6 hours after Daz Midnight. Also, by nighttime (I'm an hour ahead of Daz), the prices go up and don't go down at check out.

    both my advent items today are textures for outfits I don't have or want blush

    so any suggestion it correlates to one's wishlist is not supported right there devil

  • KerseyKersey Posts: 68

    Do you have any older Daz originals on your wishlist? I've got 5 different items from my wishlist and all of them have been Daz originals, Gen 8.1 or older.

  • TriCounterTriCounter Posts: 544
    Looking forward to midnight UTC when I can get my free item. Hope I can stay awake as yesterday's (well it was today's wasn't it) was an item I'd always passed on but did want.

    Do you have daz originals on your wishlist that are below $30 and a bit older (like, pre G9?)
  • AstraffelAstraffel Posts: 210

    Strange. If I'm seeing an extra advent item available and a certain ballet bundle free without anything else, what should I do? I neither expect Daz would honor it nor would I feel honorable trying to take advantage of such an extreme error.

    i suspect the items need to be labelled "daz original" in order to qualify for the calendar. Try it, add one to your wishlist and see.

    If it's of any interest, all six of my advent items have been from my wishlist of less than sixty items, all Daz Originals, mostly cheaper for monthly Daz+ coupon use.

    I am curious if anyone's random, non-wishlist items have not been Daz Originals or what the highest price was to narrow down the parameters? I think mine was Albert Mansion at a base price of 33.95 USD.

  • TriCounterTriCounter Posts: 544

    My two items have been items on my wishlist that have been free in other free lists in the past.  Both items have been $1 to $2 recenly.

    I already have the Rat King (from the Nutcracker bundle) but just shoved the Mega bundle in my cart with todays present and they both went though as free

    OK to test it I added a bunch of olde HD DO characters I haven't got

     I had an RDNA item as the freebie a couple days ago, & it wasn't on my wishlist. 

    Still not working today & I do have older items wishlisted.

    I did the same on Wednesday and sure enough both yesterday and today some of then turned up in the Advent Calendar. I got two freebies that I would never have bought but am happy to have for "nothing".  Both are Gen8, one from 2018 the other 2020.

    I've cheekily added some high-value and Gen9 items too, but I don;t expect to see them behind any windows this year devil

    There is a bright side to the Advent Calendar not working at all: We are all saving $3/day it doesn't work. That's up to about $80 if Daz never succeeds in fixing it.

    One of the two offerings is free, so there's that.
