    Well, already purchased a lot of the current "Related Mad" from Runtime DNA. Unfortunately none of them is linked to my accout. Anybody experiencing the same?

    Some of mine are linked, but not all - if it's still incomplete tomorrow or Friday, I'll probably put in a ticket

    I haven't had time to check today's batch but I'm still missing some unicorn items including the baby. Though all my MV finally showed up so i guess it just takes time.

    I made my first RDNA purchase early morning DAZ time. I'm now kicking myself for not taking screenshots...

    I bought Shanda Hair for Genesis 3 Female(s). Under Install Types, it says, "Look at individual products in this bundle for install types " Bundle? Okaaay... Bundles usually list the individual products they contain and this listing doesn't. But Shanda Hair for G2 Female and Male was listed as part of a bundle, specifically part of the Shanda Hair for Genesis 3 Female(s) bundle, at the time I made my purchase. Between the two listings, I was expecting to see G2 versions in my DIM...

    But, no. G2 is not there. And now the listing for the G2 no longer shows up as part of a bundle. sad

    I should have known it was too good to be true. After all, the G2 version is quite a bit more than the G3 version. Unadvertised, though, is the G3 version comes with Shanda Hair for V4 and Shanda Hair for M4. (Maybe that's why the "bundle" status...)

    Not that I can really complain... I got Kyle Hair, Luxury Camping Snug and the Shanda Hair for G3F for just under $16, with all the extra discounts today.
    yes

    I am now getting irritated about the Monday sale. I was charged $16+ for MEC3d shaders; but as far as I can see others were charged $14+, on the basis of the same discounts. I've now been told twice by Sales that I was charged the 'right' amount; so were others charged the 'wrong' amount? There has been no attempt to explain why there is a difference. It seems I have to lump it. This is a very odd way to conduct business. Contemplating throwing toys out of pram.

    There were a lot of discounts floating around: 40% for MM, 50% if you bought two MM items; An extra 10% because it was the DMB; And another extra 10% if you purchased The Girl 7 Pro bundle prior to 2/29; Finally, if you made a qualifying purchase on Monday, you could use the coupon code TOMORROW on Tuesday for yet another 10% off.

    1. By itself: (($35.95 - 40%) - 10%)) = $19.41
    2. With Girl 7 Pro discount: ((($35.95 - 40%) - 10%) - 10%))) = $17.47
    3. With additional MM item(s): (($35.95 - 50%) - 10%) = $16.18
    4. With Girl 7 Pro discount and additional MM item(s): ((($35.95 - 50%) - 10%) - 10%))) = $14.56
    5. With TOMORROW discount: 1) $17.47;* 2) $15.72; 3) $14.56; and 4) $13.11

    Unless you purchased The Girl 7 Pro bundle in February, the best discount you can get is $16.18... unless you also had the TOMORROW discount, which would have brought it down another 10%. That was only valid for one day.

    Hope this helps.

    *ETA: Oops. 1-4 above are for Monday, the day the shaders were the DMB. For Tuesday and Wednesday, the DMB would need to be purchased in addition to the shaders to get the DMB extra 10%.

    Hi L'Adair

    That is what is frustrating:

    With Girl 7 Pro discount and additional MM item(s): ((($35.95 - 50%) - 10%) - 10%))) = $14.5

    I seem to have exactly that: but was charged $16.18. The only answer I get is that it would be more expensive today if they refunded me and I bought again. That doesn't seem much of an answer. I resent being made to feel annoyed over a couple of dollars. I don't get the impression that my complaint has been looked at. I submitted on Monday; but no response then. This seems a poor way to run a business. They don't provide any explanation for why I should be satisfied with $16.18: just a brush off, when, as far as I can see, Daz is in the wrong.

    I haven't had a problem before as far as I am aware, but the multiple discounts on some days make it difficult to be sure: and hard to recover after the event. I'm only annoyed this time because the discussion of the problems with pricing was so explicit on this forum (after I had bought).

    I struggle to see the sense in setting up a system and then not being transparent about its operation. There appear to have been quite a few transient errors; I have submitted a ticket. I have been told to @@@ off as far as I can see.

    Except the "Tommorrow' discount only applied the day after the shaders were the DMB and had the extra 10%. So the lowest price would still have been $16.18 without the discount for buying Girl 7 Pro or $14.56 with it.

    But not if you are me, it would seem.

    Life is too short to care over much. I've kicked some stuff into touch I was going to get; sorry to those PAs. I shall resolve to not buy anything until I have checked here that there are no problems. Even if it something I am happy to buy, like the MEC3d Shaders.

    I do not see why Sales can't explain to me why I am wrong to be annoyed, rather than telling me that it would be more expensive to buy them today. This seems insulting. I did provide at the second attempt screen shots from this forum. Maybe they think that some people paid too little.

    Here's a weird one:

    Fugitive Pro http://www.daz3d.com/fugitive-pro-for-genesis-2 is listed in the Related Mad section today, but isn't showing the 40% discount. If you buy her with another related madness item, you get 16.6666% off - which is the difference between 40% and 50%. Could someone give Daz a nudge on this one as it looks quite a nice product.

    There was a Hint from DAZ_Steve in this thread: http://www.daz3d.com/forums/discussion/78476/lack-of-realistic-asian-female-figure-for-genesis-3-female

    Sounds like Mei Lin 7 could appear tomorrow....

    I think this was showing the proper discount earlier today, but seem to have broken in the last little while. It also doesn't get triggered with the extra 40% off either...

    Honestly... I'd rather see that they go and QS the RuntimeDNA items again, before they go and release Mei Lin 7. I bought several of the new releases today, and installed them with DIM, and got more Nested Directories. Yes, it's easy to fix if you know what to look for, but that type of error shouldn't be there in so many files.

    Items with fudged up DIM files:

    SKU 30303 - Demonous
    SKU 30642 - Fugitive Pro
    SKU 27417 - Silenced G2F

    Solve by: manually moving the files up one level.

    Given that the original excuse for the March Madness sale, many moons and the odd couple of years ago, was the college basketball tornament - and that just wrapped last night with the final women's game - I'd say DAZ was just going with the flow. I anticipate the catch-up sale starting Thursday or Friday and running through the weekend.

    And a general Comment for a lot of these RDNA Items it is not enough to just thow out al Promos containing nudity.

    http://www.daz3d.com/fugitive-pro-for-genesis-2

    for instance does not make any sense her in the "clean" DAZ representation. I had to go to RDNA to understand the product.

    Very much so — I tried to make sense of the DAZ store page, but couldn't. I wasn't even entirely sure what was being sold.

    And what on earth's happening with the stretched/squished thumbnail images? A lot of the new-from-RDNA ones look downright terrible.

    Did you include the order number for your purchase of The Girl 7 Pro? If not, include it when you try again. Be patient.

    List it like this:

    • Mec4d PBS Shaders vol.2 for Iray ............ $35.95
    • - 50% for MM multiple purchase .............. $17.98
    • - 10% for DMB discount ...................... $16.18
    • - 10% for The Girl 7 Pro MM discount ........ $14.56

    Then include the order number for your purchase of The Girl 7 Pro bundle.

    Good luck!

    This is good bundle practice IMO:

    http://www.daz3d.com/bridget-hair-bundle

    - each hair (G2/G3) costs $21.95 but if you want both versions you get them for $24.95. After all it's the same hair, just with different fits.

    Someone told me about Alex Hair by Littlefox that was steeply discounted (when the right things were bought.) It isn't in the store now, I get a 404 error when I googled it and it had the page. Was it removed from MM and the store? I haven't seen any posts about it, but I may have missed it.

    +1. But if they waited and tried to resize/border all of them, the products would be backlogged getting in to the store. It'll smooth out in future releases I would think.

    I picked up Alex hair. Promo art did not do it justice since it showed none of movements. But the hair itself is boss. Well done. One thing I liked is the included scalp. That is much needed for thinner hairstyles. Too bad it isn't a separate piece.

    Ah, that is worth a try I suppose. I rather supposed that Sales could see what a customer has ordered. It still doesn't explain the peculiarly dismissive response.

    Looks really good. Hopefully they'll tell us why it's not in the store. The vendor isn't in the featured artist stores to get a discount, so no biggie on that aspect.

    But strange Bundleing. Normaly they have the more interesting stuff in The Pro Bundle, this time the Starter Bundel has the better stuff IMHO.

    Lets see how much the difference is going to be between Pro and Starter after all discounts.

    Cai is gorgeous!

    Just depends on what you consider to be interesting personally. Looks like a pretty standard setup to me.

    Sigh so many deals if you buy her today too.

    For me the Must haves are Cai and the Ohara Hair, (both Starter Bundle)

    Hye, Maya Hair and Lotus Maiden Outfit are nice  to haves.

     

    But given the 25% discount on Lee and the 12 % Gift Card Offer + the DMB bonus the Pro Bundle is probably the better deal..
