    Hey again everybody, a quick question since the weekend promo is running out - there are over 200 pages of content, and I'd like to search for only Enviroment/Prop packs. Is there some secret way to do it? All I see is the ability to filter via figure generation.

    Thanks!

    I don't think it's possible, the "category" filter doesn't seem to appear on those pages.

    Not so sure if this helps or how secret this is, but the only thing I know to do is this: After you select shop now, in items per page select all. In the browser top menu, far right left mouse click the customize/control hamburger (the 3 vertical dots if google-chrome) near the bottom select find and choose find. The shortcut for all of this is Ctrl F. In the search bar type in a specific prop type etc weapon or armor and if it is part of the name it will populate . Else on the top left select an Artist that is known for a specific environments type etc Martint Frost does a lot of plant props. Ironman does plenty of environments with props. Daz Originals is a melting pot but selecting DAZ+ and sorting by high to low could make it easier.

    Store search, especially when you're looking at special categoies, such as the 2/3 for $10, is extremely weak. It would be a great thing if it were possible to search using the entire catalog, where you can select more options, and then those that are in special categories would show an icon or some kind as an indicator. One can dream I guess.

    ...yeah, sadly the store search is pretty lacking in this department.  Best to search by names of individual artists who do make environment and architecture sets like Stonemason, Flipmode, AntFarm, Design Anvil, Predation, First Bastion, etc.,

    I feel bad for any new artist to the store who makes environments if this is how many folks shop for environments. How would the new artist gain traction if folks only look at established artists sites?

    ...environments, architecture, props, and vehicles are about all I purchase these days. I pretty much have all the  G3/G8 character content I need for my purposes

    Bought a $1.01 gift card with fingers crossed it'll count toward a punch... don't have a need for the daily HoliDaz deal. Super nice freebie today, though!

    esha's dForce Utilities are already in my cart; that seems to be a really useful product. Thank you, esha!

    This looks like a nice sale, although I have no use for the HoliDaz bikini. But there's more to come.

    Now, the big question: is it a sale that will run untile the 25th of July (or a bit later), or is it a perpetual sale that will run until actual Christmas Day, with plenty of 'Last Chance', 'Truly Last Chance' or 'Yeah, we know, but this time, pinky promise (fingers crossed in the back), it's the truly real last chance' ?

    Only time will tell laugh

    My guess is a 3 week sale, so the 'final-final-final' days will be first weekend August.

    Usually buying a gift card doesn’t count while using store credit does. But since it only mentions "a purchase" it might count this time.

    If I recall correctly, last Christmas purchasing gift cards definitely counted toward the punch.

    well I just randomly added something from my wishlist to my cart to see how many tokens I had

    it went from 50% off to 65% off

    no idea why,

    I had 4 tokens, an extra 22% so bought it cheeky

    $5.58 full price $21.99

    might have found better deals but it was something I wanted and cheap so..

    If you purchased something recently, you may have already some punches.

    That's what I thought, but I couldn't recall for certain. Thanks for the confirmation.

    You're welcome. It doesn't mean they will count this time around, but fingers crossed.

    There is also a DAZ+ product if you didn't already buy everything you have wanted.

  • ElorElor Posts: 3,151

    Outlet store should work too.

  • davesodaveso Posts: 7,761

    A real nice free product, and a $3 bikini. Right in the cart. Perhaps, as stated above, a punch or something is in effect, as the $3 item is in the cart for $1.79.

    Yeah, though the older stuff is all one cent under the threshold... and I've pretty much exhausted anything I want from the outlet at this point, anyway.

  • SilverGirlSilverGirl Posts: 2,809

    Out of curiosity I tossed the bikini in my cart... no extra discount here. I also haven't bought anything in about a week, so...

    I've purchased 3 days in a row prior to today. Going overboard again, of course. Today my WL items are on sale for 50% off, so I put the $2.99 bikini textures in cart, and now, with the 8 tokens, its 83% off. 83% seems to be the default discount when you have the 8 tokens  and the store discounts. I've noticed that for awhile. DO items are better, obviously, with the larger token discount. 

    Now, I'm thinking I'm addicted to cart jenga as much as lower sale pricing

    Hello,

    Am I correct in assuming that a mini cart with two $0.99 products from the outlet would count towards the acquisition of one punch card?

    Yes. Any purchase over $1.00.

    Double post so . . .  edit: Xmas in July is back. Last time I remember seeing it was back in 2021. I checked my wishlist and used my DAZ+ coupon to get a DO item for  $2.05 and of course carted Esha's generous freebie https://www.daz3d.com/eshas-dforce-utilities. Thank you @Esha.

    I own about 110 of Eshas's products and some products I paid decent money for (great tutorials) are on sale at really good discounts!

    Purchasing a Gift Card should not count, using store credit to purchase something else will.

    Thanks for confirming it. As English is not my native language, sometimes I doubt I'm getting the information right when I read some sales terms. :)

    I was 99.9% that in the previous "punch-card" offers, Gift-Cards did work. 

    Hopefully they do and we get reports of same (^) tomorrow smiley
