    It's 6:42 AM here in Minnesota. None of the items are loading.

    Just have a bunch of black boxes, and a message saying something went wrong. 

  • Targetting getting individual items in the bundles I want paid off nicely today.

    I was able to get the buy-in for the 90% BEST-OF-2025 sale with a bundle, where I already had all but one of the items, for $2.50. Adding 3 punches, 8 tokens, member discount, I was able to get some hair and clothes items down to $0.37, and one character down to $0.45. I ended up grabbing 21 items from the list of 200, plus the buy-in bundle, for just under $19. Best deal of the whole sale for me (other than the freebies wink).

    But, now, I really need to get off the sale train and just focus on putting all this new stuff to use…

    If people are looking for a cheap bundle to trigger the 90% discount this is a good option: https://www.daz3d.com/wise-wizard-remastered-hd-bundle

    Two of the three items in the bundle were offered as nice list freebies over the last week or two, and if you own them the bundle drops into the cart at less than 5$ (if you have 3 punches). With 8 tokens the price drops to $2.5, which is a pretty low price for a buy-in bundle.

    Naturally this is not an option if you already own the bundle or all of its parts.

    Many thanks @Havos!

    Unfortunately DAZ SHOP doesn't work for me atm (no images), so I can't see if there is sth I want in the category. Hope they get that fixed.

    To anyone not feeling like the Nice List fits with their tastes, I offer that it looks like https://www.daz3d.com/dforce-secret-escape-prop-set at least comes with a bunch of shaders. Can never have too many shaders, right?

    ETA: https://www.daz3d.com/dforce-adoring-necklaces-for-genesis-9 and https://www.daz3d.com/sabine-jewelry-collection-for-genesis-9 also appear to have shaders

    Shaders and jewelry... Good call! And a couple items that fit fine with my taste devil

    Totally missed those! I have one recurring problem with jewelry: I forget to put some on my characters! (Easy, low-stakes 2026 Resolution?) 

    I got these also: https://www.daz3d.com/a-fantastical-story & https://www.daz3d.com/the-looking-glass

    Some nice props in both. I hope the giant book page in Fantastical Story can be removed/hidden. I wouldn't want to use it every scene & it might look nice in other pieces. I can't tell if the props load at the scale in promos or were enlarged. 

    Wow! With the Christmas Eve & Day codes, that's $150 worth of freebies. Not counting any of the other freebies.

    Those are good picks. So I went with the three @Silvergirl called along with https://www.daz3d.com/rosalind-bedroom-set and https://www.daz3d.com/dforce-opera-outfit-for-genesis-8-females .

    I think we would still like our advent calendar gifts. Yes. Definitely do! 

  • FYI, in case (like me!) you didn't read carefully, the catchup Returning Nice List items ARE NOT free with punches, unlike the last Nice catchup. The Featured Artist prices seem to override the set $3.99/$4.99/$6.99 pricing, however.

    Small tip for those with very small budget and potentially few tokens. The buy in for the 80% Tier is actually very cheap: If you have not purchased the Roblox exporter, then it is free buy in, no joke (at least at the moment i'm writing this). If you have already purchased that, then you still have some 0.99 options from outlet that are also still new and even a DAZ+ item that i think was recently 'better than daz+'....but now is even better, with puches it goes for less than a buck.

    Of course if you have more budget and spare tokens buying a bundle is likely more worth it as you litterally pay half than with the second tier, on top of a bigger item selection. AND.....good news have not ended yet.....for some reason be it intended or not (i guess is intended because there is no small print today on the subject), there is no 1.99 floor like we had until yesterday. So, all those items currently bellow 19.99 price can go ludicrous cheap.

     

    Since i already purchased a lot the past two days, I will restrain myself today and only spend arround five to get a token with only the 80% discount. But those that have budget, ENJOY!

    ...they still haven't quite fixed the 2025 BLAST-AWAY offer.  The code now works, but not on everything in your wishlist even though clicking the link opens the entire list making it seem that the code works on everything when it doesn't. 

    Also both the See Your Wishlist and View Artist Items link buttons are still showing together (in and both Firefox and Chrome they, overlap) on the promo which adds a bit of confusion..

    Was hoping to get a few of the bigger items that I have on the list at a good discount but that apparently is not the case.

    They need to do a much better job of editing the details for promotions like this.  This is just sloppy and can be both frustrating and misleading.

    It only works on items from the Featured Artists Stores who are in your wishlist.

    You can know which items are eligible by checking Only Wishlisted on this page:

    ...thank you.

    When clicked on the View Featured Artists link it then took me to a "pared down" wishlist.  Several items I had hoped to get were not there save one, the Gothic Vignette Construction Kit. When I first selected it through the "Wishlist" link earlier, I again got the "doupon invalid" error.  When I used the "Featured Artist" link, the code worked.

    The bottom line is they need to set these deals up better than this so there is no guessing as to what we need to do. On previous days they used the "My Wishlist" link for this offer.  Now we needed to use the Featured Artist" link and click the Only Wishlist filter, but that is not explained at all in the description.  Furthermore, having the "Wishlist" link there as well only added to the confusion of which one to use. 

    This should have been proofread and tested before releasing the promo to the public. Apparently it was not.

    At least they got the Huddle Room freebie working.

    the only thing that got me today was that the advent calendar had no free item, just something for $2.99, a character, that I don't want. I have 3 punches. 
    Once again, there are some free items, although only 1 that I put in my cart directly, and then the 5 free ones with the coupon ... Nice List Finalists. In actuallity, there was nothing there I needed or have ever wanted, but free is free. 

    I do have Kayla Character Bundle in my cart right now, for $5.45 - 94% off. Also a couple of hair products for $0.33 each and one for $0.97 from the 200 Top Products category. Broke or not I'm buying them on credit card and I'll get it paid quickly. I will probably throw a couple more in the cart that I was interested in before, but wont go nuts on the spendy side.

    I managed to get some nice PandyGirl freebies and bought the last four 3Djoji items in my wishlist, really sad to see him go. Then I picked up five from the top 50 selection for $8, so now I'm happy and broke, will be happier when the advent calendar freebie turns up.

    Some great New Year's Eve presents (and a very well done to me for waiting for my preferred sale-day to come along!) smiley

    The BEST-OF-2025 got me 94% - 96% of a ton of things on (or nearly on) my wishlist

    (for the record - 3 punches, 1 token, plus the coupon)

    I now have too many tokens but __maybe__ there'll be another day of the sale for those folk still with 3 punches remaining (and it's new coupons day tomorrow too!)

    Been a great Xmas Sales Event - my fav of the year (again) = Thanks Daz laughheart

    Oof... 44 items for $44. Somebody stop me...

  • kyoto kidkyoto kid Posts: 41,925
    ...well this sucks. My Daz+ membership was supposed to renew tomorrow Jan 1 butI noticed I am now a basic member as I need 15$ to get a token and my cart went up in price. What a rip.

    Same thing happened to me when mine lapsed. Odd!

    .. so much for being a "community". I thought it wouldn't change until midnight Daz time (which is 23:00 local time and 07:00 UTC time) I can still get on to the Daz+ forum so something is seriously wrong here. Even Amazon isn't that harsh. (I hate that they moved to UTC).I hope I can get home in time to fix it as I still need to use my PA coupon.

    The Daz+ forum always seems to remain accessible for a while after membership lapses - not sure how long and no idea why.

    ...seems it finally went through. Not sure why it expired a day early.

    FInally back home on my computer, was dealing with this on the phone which is a pain.

    Glad you got it sorted! Sucks about the extra nonsense attached.

    Yeah, same here. I finally just said, enough! and went and paid for what was in the cart. There were even more things I would've bought - some gorgeous Stonemason things come to mind - but I just have no earthly use for some genres.

    ...well apparently not quite as I wasn't getting the Daz+ and DO discounts as well as the December D+ PA coupon was not showing up on my account. so I likely was overcharged on my cart.

    I tried manually ordering a month's membership and it refused to recognise my card number just after it accepted my card for the order. Apparently Firefox seems to be the root of the issue (likely a Javascirpt error) as it  never  gave me the CCV field when I tried to purchase another month's membership. I went into Chrome and then the manual renewal went though. 

    I originally moved to FF because Chrome kept dropping my connection intermittently which required a full shutdown and restart to clear.

    For some unknown reasons, memberships are not using the same time zone as the Daz Store, so they will end several hours before the start of a new 'Daz day'.

    its been doing that, expiring a day early. It is a rip. Mine ended on Jan. 1, but expired 6PM Central US time yesterday, on the 31st. Its been doing that for quite awhile. There was an explanation somewhere, but its not right, imo. 

  • Is anything working for anyone regarding the heavily advertised "RawArts Specialty Sale"?

    From what I've seen, the prices in the shopping cart are just as unremarkable as all the other 50% OFF offers...

    I'm pretty sure the explanation is that memberships are expiring according to Universal/Greenwich time, rather than US Mountain Time. Your cutoff time tracks with that, since Mountain Time is seven hours behind UTC. It really doesn't make sense, since everything else Daz store-related is calculated based on US Mountain Time, but... Daz works on Daz time, I guess. laugh Perhaps there's a coding reason behind it.
