    wait...what?? what is this "rendering" you speak of? Isn't "collecting stuff" the main purpose here??? You're saying we're actually meant to DO something with it all?? cheeky

    Just wondering. How does DAZ explain these glitches to affected PAs?

    DAZ pried from my tight fist $38 I would not have ordinarally spent, purchasing items I likely wouldn't have otherwise bought, so if it was indeed a glitch, it was a profitable one...

    Isn't that how a lot of these sales/glitches here work? Look, I can't tell you how many times I got on in the middle of the night to find some unexpected thing free. One odd random thing. I'm not sure they're glitches. I think they are controlled releases to help propel consumption.

    Think about it. A few people got some great things. Those of us who've been here forever already have some great things free. Now, all of us who were checking half-heartedly for the freebies will be glued for the rest of the weekend to see if some other "glitch" happens.

  • While the glitch was happening, I was so oblivious that I was actually paying money for other products at the time. Whoops! That'll teach me to be more aware, lol.

    "Magento is just that way and we can't do anything about it" I'm guessing.

  • I managed to get a DazO bundle before I went out - only just remembered to check the site - figured I'd give it a longer look when I got back - lucky I didn't.  Already had the figure, but the outfits are nice.

    I'd feel bad if it was a PA's set (though I heard that if it glitches a free set, daz still pay the PA (but if it glitches a low price, the PA gets only their cut of the low price) - I have no certain knowledge however).

  • though I heard that if it glitches a free set, daz still pay the PA

    I really hope this is the case as I got several PA sets and I'm sure many others did as well.

  • Hmmm ... I am not able to get any of the current free items to come up as free. I think this is a known issue, but it is hard to tell with all the talk of the major glitch. Only an hour left to get these items ...

    Anybody notice the freebies just switched prematurely. I've been following this from the very start, hit every freebie they have done so far. The next round would have been posted at 1:00 cst time usa, and it switched around roughly 11:35 or so.

    Indeed and few minutes before it swap to next batch, I think it's dead for this one :D

    Try 1 free + new PC+ item. Seen that work for some?

    Now to dream of a parallel glitch on the five remaining Gen 7 guys I don't own yet... :)

    Daz had a major glitch earlier. Now it is having a minor (relatively speaking) glitch ... the timing of the sale may be off ... but few, if any, are getting the free item this round.

     

  • The free item is not showing up as free...

    Yeah, DAZ running into a sale issue.
    ​Many expensive products of the Genesis 3 series have been thrown into the freebie category lol. Was a glitch, DAZ fixed it quickly, but some managed to get their purchase done.
    ​Then, I think DAZ are all upset and don't want give freebie this batch unless things are clearly done with the employee :o

  • The free item is not showing up as free...

    Tried that and the others, and nothing is working. :P

    I just got one of the freebies and it worked fine for me, however the items switched prematurely.

    I just got one of the freebies and it worked fine for me, however the items switched prematurely, or they did for me anyway. There was just some zev0 stuff in there and as I was choosing the items switched. All the items have been switching for me at 5:00, 9:00 & 1:00 a.m. and p.m cst.
    ​Someone above mentioned having an hour, that may or may not be true considering how they just switched for me nearly 50 mins ago now. If it changes at 1:00 cst then this current batch will not be on for 4 hours.
    If any of that makes any sense.
    ​At least I was still able to sneak the zev0 stuff through after the freebies switched. laughlaughlaugh

    Look!
    You have demon's horns that grown(ing) up!

    Ummm ... not to sound desperate ... but which Zev0 stuff? Perhaps in this convoluted glitching, something may be working in the background if that is the proper items for this time slot.

  • jakibluejakiblue Posts: 7,281

    I think I noticed Zevo's brow remover thingy in the glitch so perhaps HorusRa was referring to that? The freebies on the sale page are the ones that turned up once the glitch got fixed, I believe.

    Wow, looks like I missed something major. What exactly happened? I can't get the supposed free item to be free...

    No it worked for me, but I didn't loot the store like the rest of you, I was sleeping. So I'm thinking this was the round that was supposed to be. If you took advantage of the glitches, you're obviously counted as having got your freebies for this round already.

  • Ah.. inferior to 30mn left before next batch, I want my freebie, I want colle--- er.. hum.. rendering!

    YES!  The brow remover just came up free for me.  What are the other items in that time slot?

    The wrong category was set as the "black friday" freebie group, resulting in a lot of very big ticket items being eligable for the freebie deal.  It took Daz about an hour to correct it and load in the correct category, but it appears that the pricing glitch itself isn't clearing up as easily, meaning that the new freebies aren't actually set as freebies.
