    The 1 featured item free every 4 hours - has the 4 hours not started yet, or do I own everything there already so nothing is showing? Or is the store glitching AGAIN (what a surprise). 

    SOme of the new items don't have 30% off either, so I think the store's still doing the midnight glitch.

    It's glitching, I think. It LOOKS like there are supposed to be items in the space below the new items.  Unfortunately, it's not helped by the fact that DAZ's copywriters have walked themselves straight into a deceptive advertising situation.  The ad text clearly says "Get 1 featured item FREE** No additional purchase required."  And then they place not one, not two, but THREE categories beneath it that prominently use the word "Featured".  >-<

    I'm really tired of these "glitches".

    Definite glitch, since the list doesn't seem to populate properly whenever I view it in browser developer tools.

    I can understand the occasional gllitch, but there has been a definite tendency to run overly complex promotions on weekends and Holidays, despite the fact that they glitch out of the gate as often as they actually work.  Tossing in an extremely short window of opportunity like an "every 4 hours" qualifier is just asking for trouble.  Add in the confusing verbiage and it really seems like someone in the DAZ ad department has a death wish.

    Well it's 12:34 here. Has anyone gotten the 4 hour freebies to show up yet?

  • y3kmany3kman Posts: 825

    The freebie carousel is still empty.

  • MazhMazh Posts: 489

    Maybe they're out of freebies... ;)

  • 3DMinh3DMinh Posts: 286

    I think we have to wait until "Weekend". Today's thursday, not "movie" weekend (Fri-Sat-Sun) yet.

    Daz gives us 24 hours to say goodbye to the society. These free items better be good.

  • NorthOf45NorthOf45 Posts: 5,687

    Will the freebies change every four hours, or will be more added and cycled out after, say, three periods, like the daily rotation of Debut/Still New items from the PA and PC+ Anniversary sales?

    They didn't specify the day, but given the wording of the promo, it sounds like it's supposed to be on right now:

    Side note -  it says MST, which it's nearly 2AM MST. So we're halfway through a four hour window and still no freebies? :(

    We understand your frustration. It worked in testing prior to going live, they're trying to figure out why it's not working now.

    Thanks for keeping us updated, Cris.

    Supervisor: Why the heck the freebies are missing in today's promotion...?

    EDV- Guy: Damned, it's to risky, all these 'if...then' conditions and now also this crazy four hours thing, the whole structural integrity of the shop is threatened.

    Supervisor: ADD THE FREEBIES NOW !

    EDV- GUY(mumbles): OK, but I'm not responsible for this...

    Yes, and after this pain in the bottom the freebies better be good. :P If it's just textures for old clothing items I don't even own I'm going to riot. lol

    Yes, this is disrupting my typical late night animation session. I'm not even expecting anything special to be honest, probably just stuff on the cusp of being retired its so old, but I have been trained to not begin 'working' until I see whats new. This is psychological abuse, lol.

    Or amazing items that you already own. 

    Last year they had a lot of textures, but also animals and props, which was great.

    Assuming it ever happens, it'll probably turn out to be something like Clown Shoes... for the left foot only.

    yes

  • lx_2807502lx_2807502 Posts: 2,996

    So.. there are free items (in theory, I don't see any) every four hours? Are people just meant to stay up for the next three days or something?

    Joke's on them!  Set the x axis scale to -100% and presto right foot Clown Shoe!

    I'm doing it right now (please fix the store so I can sleep). broken heart

    It's actually going to be an inducement to wake up at an appropriate time tomorrow, I'm up at an ungodly late hour.

    Someone please tell me I'm not the only one seeing a naked puss--cat, I mean cat, below the missing freebie carousel.

    Theoretically you could sleep for 7 hours and 55 minutes, then catch the last few minutes of one block, and the beginning of the next one. Of course, this needs to be timed well. :D

    4 days if it lasts through the whole weekend, 5 if they decide to have the sale last through Cyber Monday. And sleep is for the weak. I mean there is always the option of catching naps between the 4 hour windows, set alarm for every four hours, buy freebie, nap till alarm goes off, buy freebie, etc etc

    imagine what you'll be seeing after 5 days without any sleep. :D

    And finally, there's a genuine, normal-universe extra 20% off featured artists with a new release,
    and every new release is for G8, or lighting I don't need and poses I'd never use. Yech.

    Look, DAZ, I get it. You want us all to be assimilated, buying morphs and such that we already
    have for other generations, but I reject the cube. No G8 for me, thank you.

    40 minutes left.
