    I don't think I got all the discount I should get on this order. Is this because of the free items? Should I make the order and then submit a support ticket?

    Does Hinkypunk not allow most of his store to go on sale or are the discounts not working properly?  Anyone know?

    Their store is regularly on sale--at least the items I quickly looked at.

    Nothing from Claw-ssal for Genesis 3 Female(s) and older is showing a sale price for me.  Some of the newer ones, that are no longer marked "New" aren't showing a discount either.  Thanks for looking at it, though, Ati.

    There's a long-standing (and apparently unkillable) glitch in the store where it first shares out the discount from your coupon among all qualifying items, then checks to see if anything in your cart ought to be free. This causes part of your coupon value to vanish. Go ahead and order, then do the support ticket thing; that's what we're supposed to do. Note that you'll get your refund as store credit, unless you specify otherwise. Remember to mention the invoice number in your support ticket.

    I don't know if they are supposed to be on sale at the moment. I was mostly referring to the first part of the question: whether or not their store goes on sale often. It does, so whatever the current state, I would say it's not because they don't allow their store to go on sale.

    Oh, I see.  Sorry about that.

    HinkyPunk isn't listed as a Featured Artist today, so his/her store isn't part of the 40%/50% sale. That could change any day. The FAs are usually artists with a featured new release, but I've seen other artists featured, too, so far this even. During March Madness in the past, when there was a weekend catchup sale, all the vendor's stores were included. No one but Daz can say if that will be the case this year or not, but the odds of it happening this year are pretty good, I think.

    Man, I need to stop staying up all night.  I see now that the products on sale in HP's store are those he shares with Fred Winkler Art.  Thank you, L'Adair.  Jeez, I'm good at wasting everyone's time.  -Slinks away to get herself to bed and rest her brain.-

  • I think MM Marketing used all their "Might Tempt A Few Buyers" sales ideas, and are now down to their "Convince people who haven't bought into MM 2018 that they are doing the right thing" ideas. "$20 of free DOs" sure doesn't pique MY interest. Lessee, there isn't much overlap between the featured DO items and my wishlist...oh, there's a lot of Pro bundles, Genesis through G8, for about $94. Those would be $74 with this deal. BUT $74 is higher than the usual Big Promo pro bundle price AND you have to buy THREE, not the usual 2, Newly/Still Mad releases to trigger that discount. Combine that with my personal "promo deal" of "We are going to our favorite Con in less than a month!" and it all adds up to a big "I can keep passing these 'deals' up, no problem" for me.

    You're welcome, and no problem. I should slink off to bed myself. It's coming up on 4:30 am here.

    What's the trick to get rid of all the 404s? It's horrid trying to shop on the store when you can't look at anything...

    Right-click, and open in incognito/private window.

    Did anyone else get the Artist products? The bundle is https://www.daz3d.com/artist-s-escape-bundle but for me it was cheaper to get the individual items because of stacking discounts.

    These products are useful, but do have flaws. For example, the G8M character, Aldo, is dwarfed by the Art Studio; he is six feet tall in bare feet, but I had to scale the Art Studio down to 90% for it to start looking the right size, and even then, Aldo looks on the small size. I do like the mustache and shaders (which also work on the fibremesh eyebrows). The lights are fine as a starting point, which I've added to here, with Iray Worlds and Ghost Lights 2

    As for the smock, well it probably looks okay in poses that don't stray too much from the default pose. In the image here, I even used dForce (with https://www.daz3d.com/dforce-master-cloth-simulation-presets ), but the smock looks, um... unimpresive.

    I read in another thread, if the page comes up 404, adding the "\" (backslash) after the URL and hitting enter opens the page. Not a fix, but a simple workaround. until Daz gets it all straightened out.

    I'm pretty rabid to buy clothing for the guys, especially "normal" everyday kind of clothing. But I did not like that outfit and decided against the bundle because of it. I've wishlisted the Art Studio, and Aldo is in my cart, (waiting for me to make a decision on what DOs to get with the $20 off.)

    Having to buy three new releases just to get some DAZ Originals I don't really need? Not going to happen. I bought the one new release I really wanted, not more.

  • FSMCDesignsFSMCDesigns Posts: 12,843

    What is the 404 issue? I am not seeing it.

    Yeah, there isn't anything new that I am interested in

    Lucky for you. It started a couple days ago, where links to product pages were coming up 404, even new releases on the sales page. One could view the site without being logged in and all the pages resolved, whether in another browser, or a private/incognito window.

    I was able to clear that up for a time by deleting all my daz3d.com cookies. My theory is Daz is making some changes to the backend of the site, and that is what caused the issue. They will get it cleared up, but in the meantime, it's annoying and inconvenient.

    Couple of questions:

     

    1) With the catch-up sale both Gen. 8 Female and Body Morphs are back to 58% off on their store but the Gen 8 Female Expressions still show only 30% off.  Shouldn't it also be at 58% off currently. Daz Deals app shows that it was on sale at the same time as the other two items. Shouldnt it be included as well.  See picture for the difference in the cart:  

     

    2)  When requesting a partial refund due to price decrease is it based on whole cart or just the items that changed in price.  I purchased the above three pictured products about 2 hours before the store changed to the current catch-up sale.  The whole cart is now $12 cheaper (17.59 cheaper if the above expression should also be discounted).  But the two New items and the one Feature PA item in the cart went up in price since it had an extra 10% off yesterday when purchased..  Would I just get back the difference in the total between the two carts back or would it be the difference in the price for only those that went down in price.

    Ooops.  If so, my apologies, Hinkypunk.  Thanks cdpro_2831bbd990.

    I wonder why they left out https://www.daz3d.com/emmanuelle-for-genesis-8-female from the catch up sale?

    Thanks for the explaination. Sorry it's happening for some, but I understand the inconveniant part (automatic log out/log in every time I come to the forums)

    As an aside, is it my imagination or is Archeological Dig Site not included with the Still Mad releases?

    To clarify, just in case, Daz only makes one PC+ item part of the MM sale each week, so the other PC+ new releases were never part of the MM sale. However, the Archeological Dig Site was part of the sale, and ought to be included in the Catch Up. I don't see Emmanuelle in the list either, but adding her to the cart got the Catch Up sale discount. Not so with the Archeological Dig Site. Maybe someone will notice our comments on the thread and fix it before the weekend is over.

    I already submitted a ticket, so hopefully someone reads it over the weekend!

    Having said all that, I typically wait for the catchup sales now because I don't have enough time during the day to look at each sale in detail. Taking away one PC+ item kind of hurts us PC+ members...

    Enigma is not showing up for me with PC+ pricing anymore...that changed sometime today. Instead, it's 55% off at $8.97 (I have Edward Pro and 3 Still Mad items, including Enigma).

    Edit: And now it's back at PC+ pricing.

    I don't know what happened but my cart just more than doubled in price; freebies are no longer free and my still mad and Newly Mad items are not anywhere near 50% off even though I have 3 of them in my cart - NOT COOL DAZ !!!

    I've submitted a couple bug reports on Enigma. It is kind of a mess, at least with Daz Connect installation. Materials are buggy, with normal map artifacts on the belts, thigh pouch and thigh straps, caused by incorrect instance tiling. Two separate products get installed - one for G8F and one for G3F, but the G3F one also has G8F files and you can't tell them apart in Smart Content. The metadata is also buggy. All in all, a disappointing purchase. I can't recommend this product in its current state.
