    Did anyone else get a cart warning that "Deals expire in x minutes (at 28 past the hour)"? I 've never seen that. I just kept the freebies and a couple of modestly priced items and called it a day .. there's no sale to comb through. sad

    Yeah, I get that all the time, as I usually wait until the last hour to decide. 

    But at 3:28 pm Daz time? That's a weird time for anything to end. 

    A Lightning Deal?

    Advent freebie, today's freebie, and two things from Holidaz that I could've gotten cheaper before, but not finding anything today that I needed at the price, I bought them for the $3.24 that they are with the 35% punch. They're all still there. No idea.

    Is the Snow Queen Pro Bundle and its AddOns gone from the promos? Yesterday I could get the Pro Bundle for $32. Today not lower than $45. Well, then good bye Pro Bundle. See you on another Sale Occasion in 2024 but won't pay > $30 then :-)

    Yes, the promo seems to be gone. So, count me as another one who will have to wait for a better sale on the bundle.

    I feel bad that so many people are having such a horrible Christmas. :(

    Did you check the prices on things in your Wish List? I had the amazing luck with my Advent again, this time getting a Killer $40 environment set for $2.99 and then the cool new freebie script.

    I'm really broke right now but wanted to do a little browsing.

     

    I went to my wish list and set it to Price Low - High

     

    Um... yeah okay the usual low-priced stuff was there, right on top - but I went through quite a few pages without the prices going over, or even up to $10!!!

     

    Anyway... yeah... I'm with you folks who were hoping that Daz would have given us a nice present of some sort.

    It took a lot of returning to the store every day to shop to keep these punch cards full - one kind of expected to get some kind of loyalty reward for that. 

     

    Didn't even get and orange banner saying "Thank You for shopping every day with us", which I suppose is okay, because those usually require me to buy something I can't afford to make use of. Oh well.

    It's always a bummer when the Big Climax Event turns out to be the yawn fest :(

    Yeah, and suddenly I'm finding bits of it "Inactive," even stuff that was released in the last year.

  • DartanbeckDartanbeck Posts: 21,583

    Yeah, I think I've had my fun with this thing. There are still some days left, it would seem. But I've spent too much time already trying to figure out how to keep my punches full.

    It's been granting me Wonderful Wishes... that's for sure. I guess getting a stocking full of digital coal for Christmas took the wind out of my Sale. We'll see. I have plenty of time to keep this third spot punched - or just let it lapse - giving my two more days at least. 

     

    I feel like the spoiled kid now. I got pages and pages of content from this thing for very little money. Now I'm crying because I didn't get a present? I should be ashamed of myself!

    I keep getting old Daz+ items or other really old stuff as advent calendar freebies that are already on sale for $2.99 and have been under a dollar in the past, but I'm too lazy to take them out of my wishlist. So far everything I received I had put in my wishlist a long time ago intended as freebies in case I had to pick freebies quickly. I never would have paid for those items but never bothered to go through my like 15 year-old wishlist and take them out. I have many hundreds of items in my wishlist that I've casually put a heart on over the years. I think I received maybe one item I found interesting. Otherwise just Daz+ clothes textures, some for Genesis or G2, even some A3 stuff, things similar to the biweekly freebies. I don't think I was offered anything for G3 or newer.  I'm jealous of the people who got newer things they actually were interested in but I guess it's my fault for not going through pages of wishlist items and unchecking all the old stuff...

  • tsroemitsroemi Posts: 2,748

    Ach, this is turning into the most boring sale ever for me ... Calendar keeps throwing up old stuff now, despite enough DOs in my wishlist; Lightning Deals same; and the discounts just keep repeating themselves, cycling through the same things over and over. Annoying. DAZ folks, if you are trying out new sales strategies atm: They ain't working for me. devil

    Okay, I'm not sure if I'll be able to keep my punch card full, but I am completely over this crappy attitude.

    I still feel bad for those of you who didn't score big during the Advent Calendar. I followed what they said in this thread - fill that wish list with DOs you want - even though I always do that. Knowing that this is how the sale worked, I went through and added a bunch more, which I find to be a relaxing and fun excercise on its own.

     

    When I look back at what I got through this whole thing, and how little I had to spend doing it - yeah... Daz 3D gave me Christmas!!! Tons of presents for a whole lot of days! Five or six, maybe more monsters for Genesis 8 Male by either Josh Crocket or JoeQuick... that was a massive gift for me. I'm collecting those and thanks to this event, I don't have very many more to get! 

    Today was a pick between two such monsters. One free, one $2.99. I like them both equally, and the coffers are bare so I grabbed Plague Wolf for free. 

     

    Going through the library of everything I got - including the purchases I'd made to keep my punches going... Wow!

    BTW, has anyone else gotten incorrect timers on the Lightning Deals, possibly since they turned the clocks back in November?  It used to switch at midnight Daz time, but dropped back an hour to 11pm.  The timer is correct when it switches over, but somewhere along the way it notices that it's an hour behind and adds 1 hour to the timer, as if it were still switching at midnight.  Refreshing the page fixes it.

    I saw that from time to time when I kept a windows open with a timer and look at it again: instead of going from 1:00:00 to 0:59:59, it goes to 1:59:59. Well, I think it does: I never tried  to check if it's the case, but the end result is the same, there is an hour that should not be her but a refresh will fix the timer.

    Yeah, I've noticed this bug. I actually sat and watched it once. If you refresh the page, it'll correct itself to 59:57 or whatever. I think the bug is not with the timer itself, but with the page not correctly disposing of the 01: part of the time display. It can go from 02 to 01 without a problem because that's just incrementing a digit, but removing those numbers altogether requires hiding or deleting page elements and it's failing to do that for some reason.

    If anyone is after G8 Pro bundles they are up for grabs in the "Top Products from 2017 to 2020", with one New item and 3 Punches they come down to 91% off, $12.40 each, which is pretty decent!

    It's Tuesday and no DO's in Debut New... frown

  • Well, almost the end of December. I enjoyed the advent calendar. I got a lot of goodies. Unfortunately, it would put two of my favorite things against one another most days, so it was really hard to choose! My advent is kinda bugged out now, with repeating items from the day before etc - if only it would've done that when it was Krampus or Davit! And it's not really picking the cool items on my wishlist, more basic stuff. Still appreciate it and can make use of them. I guess that would be my fault for having more basic things on there ;) Still, not seen a big huge sale come through. I was expecting something for yesterday but either I missed it, or there wasn't a big sale.

    Yes there are:

    https://www.daz3d.com/aztec-architecture-2
    https://www.daz3d.com/airboat

    https://www.daz3d.com/fh-sci-fi-window-vignette

    Those are new Daz+ items, they are not "Debut New" as far as the advertised holiday sale is concerned.

  • Foxhound's other new set is today's $2.99 deal and that's marked as a Daz-O as well. (I wonder if they flipped a coin to decide which of the two sets would be the $2.99 and which would be the Daz+ freebie ...)

    ...the only time when I've seen Daz+ items qualify as "new releases" was in past Daz+ sales.

    ...and quite possibly only This past Daz + sale. Yeah... that normally just doesn't happen

  • DartanbeckDartanbeck Posts: 21,583

    Can I have another cool free thing? I think I'm spoiled now. It wasn't me doing the spoiling - that was Daz 3D. 

     

    So, Daz 3D can I please have another free thing? I'm hungry!!!

  • Seems the sale is running out:

    - No more new freebies but the earlier ones
    - Old V4 calender free stuff
    - New releases which are too expensive for me at 55%

    Got only interested to check as todays key visual made me think another Strangefate product would be released but I guess I have to waite a little longer for that.

    Anyways. Wishing everybody a happy new rendering year!

    I am the same, although, I think I may have broken the algorithm by deleting older stuff in my wish list. I, then and since, have not been offered anything in my wish list, just random stuff, including a clothing set for Victoria 1 and 2. At least the last couple of days I have been offered G8 stuff even though I have a number of Daz + and Daz originals in my wish list.I have bought stuff, maybe spent too much, which further disapoints me that I am not offered stuff I actually placed in my wish list.

    My punches are going away too fast  :(

    However, this sale event really did me good in many ways. Makes me glad that I wish list as a passtime.

    Happy Holidays to All

    I little video of all of the Genesis 8 Male Monsters I got throughout the sale, within the cool Abandoned Train Station by Mely3D I just got in my Advent Calendar

  • HavosHavos Posts: 5,362

    Twice so far I have had random items as my calendar items, rather than wishlist ones. This has prompted me to add more Genesis 8 DOs to my wishlist, and the next day one of those was in my calendar freebies. (This worked today and yesterday).

    Don't assume all DOs on your wishlist could be picked as freebies, G9 and possible G8.1 may also not be selected. In my limited experience Genesis 8 era DOs under $30 are selected as either the freebie or the 2.99 item. No item will appear twice, so make sure new ones are added if most of what you have in the wishlist have appeared already.

  • Bunyip02Bunyip02 Posts: 8,632

    I have had one item appear as my freebie item 3 times so far, but was more interested in the 2.99 item each time !

    All the Advent Calendar items have been from my wishlist, December 2020 has been the newest and the MSRP has been between $15 and $27

    I had not seen the deals going on between June and Thanksgiving, but I know you have. So question if you don't mind me asking. Is 87% off close to the best the Aeon Soul, Blue Jaunte, Stone Mason, and Polish stuff from 2017-2020 have been discounted? There are a number of items in that list that I am close to being tempted on, like the urban future environments, greeble set 4, legendary armor, atlas armor, helix bundle, every day 2, blue jaunt models, space ship bundle, etc. I was initially holding out for DO bundles at last year discounts, but the discount seems decent for non DO items. Even though they are old items, they are pretty decent ones. Thoughts?
