    Something like "Byzantine Warrior Poses" isn't triggering it for me, and the page says new release, not newly mad or still mad. Was using the Savage hair and beard to test.

    Ah, I see - probably is an error in the text but I will flag it up.

    Yeah. I dropped a couple of big purchases... the Stonemason sale, I stocked up... But I think I'm way off my traditional spend on a March Madness sale - and according to the forum, a lot of the big purchasers felt the same way as I did... and I've got a feeling my big March Madness spends... $20 a day almost every day or two throughout the month... are small potatoes compared to what some of the heavy buyers spend when the sale is really crazy. 

    There were a couple of high points... and maybe the problem with freebies is that I've just got almost everything that DAZ is willing to give away, at this point. I still haven't added those dog-tags to my collection, though. Now it is a challenge.

    Nice bundle by Raiya and outoftouch. But I really dislike those incentives which only cater for new buyers. 30% extra discount off the older bundles is not that cool if one has purchased already most of them.

    Yup. I have them all except a dress that is part of a bundle.

    It seems that happens with every sale, where folks who have a lot of content don't get motivated with the offers as we have the content already. Can't really blame Daz, I mean, how could Daz possibly tailor a sale for those with a lot of content? Everyone's different. 

    From chatting with several PAs, sales are doing just fine during MM. I know I've done my share of supporting them, I've picked up many things at 55% off. I think that's very reasonable, given the work that goes into a product like a set with many props. I can use those elsewhere and kitbash.

    hmmm the "bonus madness" items aren't discounting to 70% for me - anyone else?

    Reporting. Only happens on the suit, though, the other two items are more heavily discounted.

    sorry Cris, yes I meant the suit product it wasn't applying.

    Should be fixed now.

    Note that the monthly freebie, Reading Corner, is not DIM installable for some reason; it is strange because what appear to be DIM compatible zips are available for download in my Product Library ...

  • dreamfarmerdreamfarmer Posts: 2,128

    Hmm. Today feels like "Refresh old product for 2018" Day. Which isn't a bad thing, I guess.

  • thistledownsnamethistledownsname Posts: 1,336

    Wow, looking at my totals for every March, I spent so much less this year than ever before.  I'm at 21% of what I spent in 2017, and only 6% of what I spent in 2016.  78% of what I'd spent in 2015, but I'd only been in for 2 months at that point and was pretty conservative with it.  There's also an issue of volume.  In 2016 & 2017, I bought something almost every day.  This year there were only 3 orders I actually spent money on.

    What are the odds on a last weekend all artists thing again this weekend?

    This is still not working!

    I even clicked on the green button on the Product Library page to "Download and Install" but it didn't work.

    Does Daz even know about this issue? Usually a mod comes in and tells us it's been reported, but I'm not seeing that yet…

    ETA: I downloaded the file into my DIM Downloads folder. It showed up under Ready to Install, and installed just fine when I clicked on the Install button. An FYI for anyone who doesn't want to wait on the fix.

    It's very odd indeed, as it is listed as DazConnect and Manual Install on the product page, but there is no obvious reason why it couldn't be installed via DIM, as you note...

    Known bug and they are working on it

    I installed it the ShareCG way. :) I guess it won't be smart content that way.

    Wild Borders is staying at 40% off rather than 50%.  I have newly mad items in my cart.

    Nevermine - it's working now.

    It's mainly the skins for me. G8 takes the G3F base UV skins fine - but not so much the others, as in, Monique 7 skin, Olympia 7 skin, especially Teen Josie 7 as they are custom UV's. I forgot I had Redzstudio's product that means we can now use those UV base skin on G8. I've only found 2 G8 skins that I really like, and neither of those are the base iconics (although Monique 8's is ok). That's why I, for one, was curious about these 7 for 8 products. Given that I really like Teen Josie 7's morphs but don't like Teen Josie 8 at all, I was hoping to be able to recreate her on the G8's when I have to use them (promo stuff etc). Otherwise I am quite happy continuing with G3F, but there are times when I do have to use G8.I've used SingularBlues script to get Eva 7 morphs onto G8 and it worked perfectly...but now I've forgotten how to do it. LOL. I guess I was looking for a quick one-click solution to do it.

    I suppose these "7 for 8" products are good for people that don't already own the G3 versions...or do you need them for the skins?  If so, I don't really see the point.  I mean, there is so little difference between G3 and G8 in terms of the final render, why not just use the Gen 7 version?

    That's my niggle.  I'm sure they are good products if you just really want all your Gen 7 base characters to exist in G8 format without the hassle of doing the conversions on your own. 

    As to the rest of the promo, it looks like we're still being limited to a small selection of new items in order to get the mad deal.  I'm really curious as to if this strategy has worked out for this March.  I mean, if I'm any sort of indicator, my own spending is way down.  There have been some good deals.  It's just not worth it to me to get the good deal if I have to push my cart up to double or triple to make the discount trigger.  If the trigger items were things that I wanted anyway, I probably would have spent at least twice as much as I have so far this MM.

     

     

    Well, that does make some sense.  I already own both TJ pro packs.  So, I don't really need a product that converts one to the other...easier to just use TJ7.  The truth is that I rarely use an unmodified character for a render.  Most often, I use my own morphs based off the G8F or G3F base.  This is somewhat amusing to me...because I do buy a lot of characters by PAs and DO.  I get all excited about collecting characters, but then I end up rendering with my own morphs anyway...LOL

    You've hit that dreaded "switch over" time again. The weird 30 min before to 30 min after the new sales day when the sales prices aren't working right. :( Sounds like you might have missed it.

    you are right @Divamakeup go caught in the switch over.  It doesn't seem the elephant is free anymore, i guess I did miss it

    I didn't realize that you actually get the Gen 7 textures with the morphs.  I thought you had to own both generations to make it work.  So yeah, these packs are a good deal for folks that don't already own the Gen7 characters.

    What happened? Is the shop down? I can't get to the store

  • L'AdairL'Adair Posts: 9,479

    Yes, it appears the store is down. Looks like the forums are crashing around us as I type.

    Guess I'll go render something…

    Looks like the store is back up.

    ETA: That's annoying. I refreshed before posting... and Cris' post wasn't there!

    Oh well, my cart's back, and that's what is important.
