    Well, the fact that they are throwing in the Vic 5, 6, and 7 pro bundles with the Vic 8 pro bundle (apparently I already have all of the Vic 5 pro bundle stuff, I seem to remember that being a freebie at some point), makes The Vic 8 Pro Bundle (at over 50% off) look very attractive...

    It's a nice deal for those of you who don't have them; BUT not much of an incentive for us loyal Victoria buyers who already have all her Pro bbundles.

    You get an extra 30% off. I guess. I get 10% off for having one of the past pros.

    Huh?

    Lucky you. I own all three of her previous Pro Bundles and I'm not seeing any extra discount; not even in my cart.

    Reload the cart page quite a few times. I was shocked to see that I only have a 10% discount (total, instead of the 50% :)), and needed to reload it at least 3 times for the actual discount to show up.

    That doesn't work for me. The Pro Bundle is still $66.13 no matter how many times I reload the cart,. NOT HAPPY!  crying

    Do you have an offer in your inbox? https://www.daz3d.com/notifier/inbox/offers/

    Not there. It looks like once again I don't get the offer even though I purchased all the actual Victoria Pro Bundles (not just thee items in them). Grrr!!! angry

    I don't have any messages or banners. I checked in My Account. Don't give up Charlie, sometimes they roll these things out in waves. People on the thread were reporting banner discounts, and mine showed up later than theirs. Do a Ctrl+F5 hard refresh, wait a while, see if it drops. Then I would contact support and ask what the criteria is. Or someone who has the banner, if they'd give us a clue (I got the discount, and own a ton of Pro bundles, so not sure if just the Victoria ones are triggering it. Maybe it's the number of all Pro Bundles owned?)

    Anyone know if the G3 poses will work with G8?  That would be helpful. I've got a crapload of pose sets.

    The arms are very messed up, unfortunately. They need a lot of work to be usable.

    So, is the g8 base figure available?

    Apparently, it is...I just checked DIM and she's in there. :)

    I see the Genesis 8 Starter Essentials in my Product Library, but not yet in DIM.

    So... Anybody got any money left to buy a V8?

    HA!

    Oh, wait, you were serious.

    Let me laugh even harder XD

    Seems like 10-30% for purchasing the last 1,2 or 3 Pro Bundles.

  • boisselazonboisselazon Posts: 458

    I got V5 pro in a bundle with michael 5 pro: so, I have all items vic5 pro BUT I don't trigger the vi5 pro bundle. grrrrrrrrrrrrr. that doesn't trigger the additional 10%

    that gives 20% wich means a total discount of 61% (v8 at 52.90). I'm disapointed

  • LlynaraLlynara Posts: 4,772

    I had all the V5 Pro stuff that came with Carrara, but that didn't count as purchasing it. Still got 20% off for having V6 and V7 Pro bundles.

    Charlie- if it doesn't show up sometime today, check with tech support. I didn't get a pop up. It was in my site messages. Also, try clearing the cart, then putting her back in, along with a few add-ons to see if the discounts show up then. It could very well be a gltich.

    Okay, maybe not a LOT lot, but they do need some work. The legs and most of the expressions work fine though.

    There was so much talk about this release that I put some money aside for her, even though G8 is at least a year away from being fully usable for my needs. Getting two extra pro packs for free might justify the price. I'm still deciding...

    Well you get the "anatomical bits" for the female with the Pro Bundles!

    The Base G8F looks great.  I wasn't thrilled with the default skin.  But, I put one of my custom skins on her along with the NGS2 shader and she really has a great look.  I think I prefer her to the new Vicky.  I am surprised they chose to make Vicky look older than the previous incarnations.  I guess she's aging along with the rest of us....LOL  The new expressions do look more natural than the previous base dials.

    That's not a huge factor for me. I've never in my past 2 years used the anatomical elements. :)

    Me neither, but I always thought it was an amusing incentive!

  • jakibluejakiblue Posts: 7,281

    Nope. Not me. LOL.

    I figured I'd wait about 6-8 months and see if she turns up in any of the mega sales or as a "present" if you buy something else.

    Well I've hard refreshed, no banner, no messages. Mods, would you mind telling them that some people who are getting the discounts (or WOUILD BE if they shopped) don't know it? That certainly changed what I bought. 

  • jakibluejakiblue Posts: 7,281

    Me too. I get 10% off for buying 1 previous Victoria Pro bundle. I guess they don't count the Victoria 4 Pro bundle in that. Cos I have that and Victoria 5 Pros.

    Well, still no messages but at least the extra discount is now showing up in my cart. And that's what counts.

  • JazzyBearJazzyBear Posts: 805

    Discount is good for a week I think.

    FWIW, I've been getting some (but not all) special offer messages silently appear in my account page without a banner for some time now, although sometimes the banner pops up a day or so later. No idea how long this has been going on, because of course I haven't been seeing the banner. Six months? A year?

    If I recall correctly, the only version of Victoria I've ever paid for was V4...Oops, actually I paid for V7, too; $17.90 for the Pro bundle.

    Yep, I still don't have any banners or messages in exclusive offers. I might not even know about the extra discount if I hadn't seen it discussed in this thread.

  • FeralQuokkaFeralQuokka Posts: 81

    I'm only getting 20% off, despite owning all 3 Pro bundles (I purchased V5 Pro Suite which included the Pro Bundle way back when getting started in this). So I'm also seeing v8 at $52.90. I'm disappointed, especially when I look at the total number of pro bundles bought over the years. But, I'm in the middle of getting some commissions out to finance V8 so will chase up support tomorrow if it doesn't fix itself tonight.

    As an aside, is anyone else getting a young Candice Bergen vibe from some of the renders of V8?

    I also own everything in the Victoria 5 Pro Bundle, but not the Bundle itself.... So not counted toward discount.

  • NovicaNovica Posts: 23,924

    The banner just now showed up (going on 10am)  I wasn't worried about me, the forums are vital to getting information/sharing it- but Daz literally would be losing money from the buyers who are not on the forum. They wouldn't know about the reduced prices and not everyone tests every little thing in the cart.

    Thanks for reminding me.  Yeah, since we both paid for the Carrara Pro bundle, and received the bundle contents, IMHO that should count. 

    I still don't have the first clue as to how to use Carrara (it's very colorful when I open it), but I'll take the time someday to figure it out.  I'm still figuring out Daz Studio, and have had very limited success so far with Hexagon (stuff won't 'bridge' back after I send it to Hegagon)...  But I digress.

    This reminds me of a recent sale that threw in Girl 7 for free.  All well and good, except that I already had Girl 7, so I passed on the sale.  IMHO it would have been nice if thay had offered Girl 6 as an alternate option (and maybe 4 or 5 as second and third alternates)  for those that already had Girl 7..

    I'm not at home yet, but does G8F (oh man, that's going to take some time to get used to) have UVs for previous generations too? Or simply auto-fit clones?

  • LlynaraLlynara Posts: 4,772

    Just G3 UV's, no others that I can tell. I'll play some more. 

    And I'm really not worried about not getting an extra 10% because of the V5 thing. I'm happy with my purchase, happy with the new V8 and all the updates this week. I'm really disgusted by some of the complaining on the forums today and may need to take a break for a bit. Some people sound worse than my toddler today.
