    At least they got the prices updated by the first this time. I sorted by price on the main store page. That gets all of the OS items up to $2.99.  The rest of them get lost among the other sale items. The OS prices will show up in wishlist too. The actual OS list seems have the same issue again. Hopefully it won't take as long to fix it. 

    I am pretty sure that the only ones with correct prices are the ones that were in Outlook last month aswell. All the new entries are yet to display their outlook price.

    At a quick glance, I don't see any new entries, so my guess is the new items aren't displayed in the OS at all at the moment. Just the old ones, some of which have the regular price (because they shouldn't be there), and some of which have the OS price (staying in for another month). I did mention it in the reporting thread, because it's way past Daz midday.

    The old OS items are all still there. Only 90 of them are less then $2 (Daz+ price). The store has over 1600 less than $2.

    I don't know quite what's happening. I've put in a filter of $0 to $2 and this is what I get:

    All 47 of them.

    The new selection is visible if you filter the whole store by price, so what's happening is that for some reasons, the Outlet page was not updated with the new selection and kept the old one.

    Which is better that what happened last time when the Outlet page was updated while the price where not (on top of that, the fixed selection was not the same as the buggued one): in the current situation, we can buy the new outlet items, it's just a bit painful to track them (without an extension capable of filtering the store by price range).

    Am I excessively old fashioned in thinking that DAZ shouldn't release a sale until they've tested it AND found it works properly?

     Maybe. Am I old-fashioned for thinking that after the difficulties fixing this issue last month that Daz should have decided to make sure there wasn't a repeat, because September to December is practically back-to-back monthly events so they will have enough troubleshooting without any more OS (or QG glitches)?

    The sale works. It's just the filter for displaying items on the os page seems to be malfunctioning. And there has always been a difference between number of items shown in os/qg and number of os/qg priced items shown in the main store.

     

    You know, web devs aren't supposed to think in terms of pages. They must view it all as a gigantic app. So when stuff like this happens, it's not just "check the code for that page." It's probably some sort of conflictt between what's needed for os and something else on the site. What should be simple is some sort of nested logic error and good luck finding it.

     

    Could you imagine if Amazon ran this way? I expect we'd have some other company as king of online retail.

  • Daz is aware of the issue and is looking into it, but it isn't going to be an instant fix unfortunately.

    I'll take that as a form of oblique confirmation.

    Good morning!

    Here's your weekly reminder to:

    •  grab your QG's before midnight UTC (roughly 7 PM eastern daylight in the US)
    • don't freak out if changeover doesn't happen right at UTC midnight, as it seems like things usually change at around 15-past
    • don't freak out if the prices seem high; usually they're right in cart initially, and the store catches up with it at normal Daz changeover

    May the odds be ever in your favor!

    "May the odds be ever in your favor!"

    when this all started  the odds were very favorable to me. The last 6-8 weeks were very bad. Not much I wanted to buy, in fact I've skipped at least 4 of those weeks. Hoping for the jackpot this week. 

  • TorquinoxTorquinox Posts: 4,935

    @SilverGirl Thanks! I have items scouted. Need to check out.

    @daveso when this all started, there were bundles and free items and promos designed to get people involved. Now, there are still deals and treasures to be had, but it's not like it was. Maybe that's no surprise, but it's still the only area I regularly shop from on the site. No cart jenga, no nonsense. I should point out, I mostly only shop from the 99 cent price point. That means I get mostly DO items, but I do get some PA items as well. It's all good.

    Glad you didn't miss out on them. :)

    And to add to the discussion: I don't always get something exciting in QuickGrab. Sometimes there's only few items, and they're on my wishlist "just in case," not something that I would buy in an instant at QG price. But I do enjoy looking through what else is available, and sometimes I end up getting something that wasn't in my wishlist (maybe because I overlooked it?). I also often check which items in QG I already own. I have a lot of stuff (probably not as much as people shopping here for a decade or longer, but a lot for me), so looking at "already owned" is a reminder that some weeks the selection is still great, I just bought those things earlier.

    there is nothing in either category, outlet or QG.

    If you mean there's nothing of interest to you, well there's always next month...

    Once again, PW Productions was acquired by QG.

    Collecting PW mansions is one of the greatest pleasures right now.

    well that too laugh  There was 0 of 83 in my QG. I had a filter active, corrected that and then found not much of interest anyway. There are a couple that I might pick up. To be determined.  

  • There's just a couple of things I want in the new selection but that's okay.

    That's one of the items I'm considering. There are so many rooms and sections of it that can be used as different setings.

    It's a bust for me this week... but considering I still haven't finished logging the treasures I got last week in my PA Sale cart, perhaps that's a mercy. cheeky

    Thanks for the heads up.  One of the items that was already in my cart for today actually dropped in price... by a whole 15 cents!   cheeky

  • Nothing in the new QG for me, alas. Unless I decide to pick up Olympia 9 or Dain 9, which I doubt I will do. 

    The QG/OS pricing is really getting random isn't it? Olympia is $4.99 & Dain is 99¢

    *****

    https://www.daz3d.com/kola-81 is OS & I am considering him. If you have the character what do you think of him?

    I'll be getting https://www.daz3d.com/kraken-hd-for-genesis-9 for 99 cents. Works for me! I seem to have Dain 9 already.
