    Wow, we went from no images of teen's shoulders in promos to this https://www.daz3d.com/midnight-gold-for-invicta-couture-lingerie-set. I'm fine with nudity and non-pornographic sexual content in promos but not so fine with images of women tied up or constrained... I think this goes into borderline violence. Am I wrong? 

    I believe this prop can also be used on male,  or werewolves, robots...

    yeah, good luck putting nipple rings on a werewolf. although I supposed after they've eaten and are ready for a little nap, you might have a chance.

    the new releases, overall for quite a long time, are uninspiring to me, thus what sale? 

    So many months of daily dry releases, long gone are the days of wishlisting 2-3 items daily. The daily email was like permanent Christmas the 365 days. Last exciting things for me were maybe on Thursdays with Sylvia, Wukong, Tara...

    Look at her feet in general!  Maybe endless hours of standing in heels has taken a toll on both her ankles and feet. Also hence why she's sitting.cheeky

    Whereas I bought most of what was released today.

    Yeah, but the promos, and those for the required product, only show it on women, mostly very busty ones. The products are 100% intended for a certain subset of het males.

    Ick. More 50 Shades of Daz. Yes, I am also disgusted.

    @Wonderland, you aren't wrong. You're very right.

    we're all way different in what we buy. I thought today was terrible. I don't do filatoon or anime, and what are those strappy rope things? 

    I think this must be bondage week.

    That's pretty much me as well, though I did buy or wishlist almost everything the day that Charlie came out, so I'm still getting some fun-filled Daz days.

    Yeah, didn't get those, no offense to the artist but other than certain scenes with the rope set, I just can't imagine using the straps or pearls. 

    But the Filatoon and Anime are the kind of stuff I can use,

    interestingly I have bought a few bondage style things in the past, not for kinky renders but to wear over bodysuits as belts for mounting weapons, ammo and such

  • FYI, for those interested in Premier, Daz added more older bundles to the free selection, for 18 total: Kaede 9, Maryam 9, Julius 9, & Kiri 9. No telling how long they will be there. Most of the older ones stay a long time, but not always. Niketa the Lioness was only in for 2-3 weeks last month, for example.

    I already own the only new-to-selection I had any interest in. I got Maryam and the handful of things I liked from her former Pro/Starter bundles piecemeal over the fall sales.

    Lol! I was taking a sip of water and almost did one of those sitcom spit outs when I read that. Daz Bondage Week! All bondage items 30% off with two new bondage items and two still new bondage items with an extra 10% all PA bondage items with discount code LOVIN-BONDAGE laugh

  • DAZ, come on! Found a banner saying my character coupon would be good for 2 character bundles today. But we have the middle of the month so I if course already used the coupon on Charlie 9. At least provide an extra coupon for folks who have already used the March one.

  • KerseyKersey Posts: 108

    It's not two bundles. It's the selection of bundles you can pick from that is doubled. If you're happy with Charlie 9, then you didn't miss anything.

    Use your Monthly Character Coupon with Double the selection of FREE Character Bundles when you include any Newly Mad Release*

    That's clearly 2 bundles. And I have used my coupon already of course.

    It says "double the selection", so more to choose from, not "get 2 bundles" or "use it twice".

    And if you don't include a Newly Mad Release some of the Bundles are not working with the coupon? Very confusing.

    Yes, the bundles that are exclusive to this bigger selection will only be free with a new release in your cart.

    If what you want is on the standard selection, there is no need for a new release.

    Usual selection: https://www.daz3d.com/premier-characters

    Bigger selection: https://www.daz3d.com/premier-characters-expanded

    If I don't get two Character Bundles, it's pointless, and even if I can get two, I'd rather buy the character pack when it's on big discount than buy Newly Release. 

  • TesseractSpaceTesseractSpace Posts: 1,582

    Of course if you've bought most of the pro bundles either selection can be decieving since most of the list is bundles of things I already have.

  • Getting two bundles would have been a great deal.

    Speaking of bundles, we REALLY need a "buy for the price of items you don't own" without any buy-in rules. With Daz restructuring all their bundles, I really want to get the ones I actually own off my store listings to avoid confusion and annoyance while shopping.

    That would be a useful promotion. We need Daz to fix several things right now too. First of all, having purchased items not showing up as actually purchased has been a confusing and frustration situation. And if that's fixed, there should simply be a baseline implantation that bundle prices are reduced just based on having the items individually. 
    Daz recently gave me a refund when I decided to buy a bundle instead of one of the items, but that was within days so within the refund policy. Has anyone tried to refund an item bought a while ago when deciding to get a bundle instead?

    +1000

    I own all the items in all the older character bundles because I bought the Pro bundles; but the character bundles still show up in my promos. I have even had two character bundles at a time show up iin my Lightning Deals qhich means that effectively I am only getting two Lightning Deals.

    Yes. I was all ecxited, for a change, and then someone in another thread explained the deal. I'm like, I jhave to pay to see more selections? That is about as lame as a company can get. Daz pulling out every trick in the book to get you to spend money, but instead, at least for me, its backfirng, as I'm about done playing stupid money jenga at this place. Plus its turning into most places with all the bondage,freakware, etc. I can go elsewhere and not play so many games. I have 12 days left on this current Premier membership, and that's going to be it for me. I get closer to leaving each round and the bad taste in my mouth gets stronger.  You all say, good, leave, we tired of your complaining. 

    There was a point in complaining, once or twice, about practical stuff I thought they might fix, but which I could live with (albeit sometimes with a grimace). But there is now a dealbreaker. So I'm out too.

    My exporting project continues. Everything else is done.

    A moment of amusement this morning as I checked the website on my mobile, and the big green "shop now" button covers up the final E in the "It's getting hot in here" on the banner, completely changing the message. I'd say marketing should heed the most basic advice of checking how your promo looks on multiple devices/screen, but given the amount of adult and adult-adjacent content, I wouldn't be surprised if this was intentional.
