    SLoooooooooooooooooooow. 502 error ... 

    AND -- got my ATI WISHLIST email and the pricing listed is 50% lower than what is show on the product pages within DAZ ... although I have already purchased the majority that are shown in the email previously. 

    Yeah, the Ati emails were showing a lot of items at about half of what they're showing in the cart.  And some are hittiing the cart lower.  Not certain what is going on with that....But I am super grateful for Ati's efforts!!!

    but when does Rynne8 become sale eligible?

    Valentines needs more fey

    Would also like to know.  I wanted to buy her at launch but her sale was not all that great.

    Items are "new" for 60 days. Rynne was released on Dec 17th.

    That sale didn't last long, maybe an hour or so. Was probably a glitch and those items were never supposed to be priced that low--but they were.

    lota gateway 502 errors, shopping made difficult 

    Me too, I also got a total Cloudflare flakeout at one point.

    Does anyone else have a sneaking suspicion that having four separate (or are they?) Valentine's sale banners for the weekend is just asking for Murphy to make an appearance? If there aren't any duelling sale conditions in this one, I'll be amazed.

    Rynne 8 was released on December 17. Day 61 from release, and when she will qualify for sales discounts, is this Sunday.

    However, traditionally, products that fall out of NR status in the middle of a promotion like this weekend promo often don't have the discounts applied automatically. Don't get frustrated, though. We'll just have to see if the mods can get it fixed.

    ETA: D@mned CloudFail.

  • Dang, now that's a sale. I spent...a lot today.

    Sort on the figures/genres/whatever you like, then sort on % off. Good luck. If something gets in your way...turn. (AKA if things look bizarre....refresh.)

    Leroy was released on the 4th Feb. so one could have expected a new one today with the rush we are seeing. I think March will bring us G9.

  • today's probably the craziest sale i've ever seen for PC members

    now if only i can buy stuff through all the laggy website traffic

  • WonderlandWonderland Posts: 7,137

    I don't see how people are getting good deals. The bundle that is full of old PC items I already own went down from $95 to $68 which is ridiculous for like 3 new items and if you don't get that, the discount is minimal on everything else...

    The PA sale and the DO discount stack, so the PA DO items are quite a good value, and PC members get 20% off their cart on top of that. Cheapest prices I've seen on the HD Add-ons as well. Definitely not getting that bundle, though.

    Get better deals by ignoring the bundle and looking through the list of 50% discount from one of the other banners. There are some items that already have other discounts applied to them (from other sales) and/or from being Daz Originals (if you're a PC+ member). On top of that, there's a 20% discount on everything for PC+ members. All these bonusses add up in mysterious way, and some items end up with a discount as big as 88% once you added them to your cart. So, it's a good day to check your wish list and order it by %-off. But, ignore the bundle.

    @Xellosz, Considering all the manpower Daz is putting into updates to 4.12, I'd be really surprised to see G9 come out before those changes are complete. Take a look at the beta Change Log for 4.12.1 and you'll see they are working on the animation Timeline, and fixing any number of bugs their updates have introduced, (quite typical of reworking code,) as well as changes to how dForce works, dialogs, and a whole lot of other things, including updates to newer Iray versions.

    It could well be many of the changes to Daz Studio are intended to support changes in G9, but I would expect them to complete those changes first, and then develop G9, so one doesn't break the other. If they develop them concurrently, (which is possible,) there is always the potential for G9 to required something DS isn't able to provide. (That's based on the theory that DS is being updated to support new tech proposed/developed for G9.)

    If you look at the SKU for the past seven or eight named 8 figures, I believe you'll find the last two released male figures were assigned SKUs before several of the female figures that were released before those males. My guess is the PAs weren't developing assets for male or named male figures fast enough for Daz to put together a pro bundle. The fact all the included products with the Dain bundles were from a single vendor, (and not really ready to be released, imo,) suggests Daz put something together hastily with what they could get their hands on because the customers in these forums were complaining about the lack of named male figures. That Leroy 8 came out exactly one week later with the exact same release offer makes me think he was a peace offering, and not indicative of anything having to do with G9.

    If we want more male figures, regardless of whether that's G8 or G9, we have to convince the PAs to provide assets for the males: Hair, clothing, poses and named-figure based characters. Daz cannot release what they don't have.

    Uh,  guys....this is Murphy.

    Nods could be, I'm just thinking Daz will time it to MM or the PA, Xmas sale period.
    Darcy was one day only, there were other one week sales.
    Dain was cut short because of the rest of the bundle that's true, his base was looking good, but the items XP.
    Leroy, would have needed a bit more time and it would have been a better bundle, there are some small errors, but we could live with the most of it, hope the PAs improve it. 
    It's just they are rushing a bit releasing G8 content, that's why I think G9 is knocking on the door.

    ps:
    Why keep a developer, a tester and a running server when you could develop / test in use? Just joking, that would be the deathbed for G9.

    Guys, I appreciate the frustration, but being that Murphy is the prariedog that Daz hired to write the add copy, you have to forgive the occasional error. After all, their tiny paws have trouble navigating a proper-sized keyboard.

    Then Daz needs to stop turning away male products from top PAs. This was turned away, (note those gorgeous arm veins, no additional product required)  then shortly after, MANU was accepted????  (No veins, blah.) Note he's SO BAD there's no promo images for him!  So she hasn't submitted another male to Daz so far.

    I haven't been able to get my cart to load in a while...Cloudflare error. Can't buy if I can't access. Anyone else having this problem?

    I probably have to dump cart and make smaller purchases, since I've heard that the 20% off just applies on any number of orders. That said, can't dump a cart I can't access.

    Site is throwing a lot of 502 errors apparently (from surfing various threads, many users reporting sluggish site, 502's)  It is really, really slow for me. A couple minutes sometimes to add one product to the cart.

    i couldn't even get into this forum for quite awhile.

    Got the shopping done okay., but now getting random 404 errors in forums & posts.

  • Seems the PC 20% off the order is stacking with everything. The PA 50% off is going to 60% off. DO's are on 87% off (89% off in cart with the PC), It's even stacking with FastGrab (I didn't check out - just testing it) which is going to 76% off. I believe Daz may be aware but it's the weekend now (and Monday is a holiday in US, I believe) so not sure if/when someone will kick the store to settle it.
