    I am confused,

    Legacy Bundles are listed as 80% off. But I look at all of them on their page(s), and they're listed as 30% off?

    Do I get the 80% or only 30%?!

    **** Edited to Add ****

    Well, the 80% off didn't work.

    Your cart only has 1 item. The page says 'Include any "Rainy" New Release'

    The "Legacy Bundles" offer disappeared after I posted this message.

    That's always a risk of posting about things. If you have a good exploit, don't mention it 'til after you've used it or just keep quiet.

    The Legacy bBundle offer for 80% off with any "Rainy" new release is still active.

    I hear you. I was just fumbling about, looking for a good deal.

    Thanks, Charlie. It appears I first caught them in transition from one offer to another.

    ...speaking to the choir here on clothing content.

    Seems there has been a marked increase in overly revealing and "sexy" as well as "minimalist" clothing products in the store as of late.

    As to vehicles, I also agree and would like to see right hand drive options as well.  We finally got  a good looking standard length and "bendy" city bus. 

    Aeroplanes are another matter here. While there are some light aeroplanes and fighter aircraft and business jet, there is a notable lack of larger passenger aircraft.

    There is  and Airbus A380 "look-alike" (that is a luxury private jet) and a couple DC-3s, but for the most part that is it.  We could use a few more realistic looking jet and propeller airliners similar to what one would see at an airport today.

    There're some airliners over at that R place most are Poser format but there are some for Daz

    ...true from  Vanishing Point.

    As they are based on and named after "real world" aircraft (Boeing 707, 727, 737, 747, etc) it could be the reason they are not sold here.

     

    BUT . . . they were sold here at DAZ.  I was once engaged, living commom-law with an Air Canada pilot. We bought a house together. It was all a lie. 3 decades later I wrote a tell all memoir called charmed, about his  "second secret other life  with a mother and their chld' . I was thankful to buy this and that for the book trailer. My ex piloted both the 727 737 I bought, plus the DC8 DC9 and and the Lockheed 10-11 during our relationship.

    Would be easier to list what I don't ever would want or need, but here are things I would like to buy

    • realistic small town buildings with doors/windows that open. Not thousands of Big City Appartments without any moveable parts and unrealistic room/appartment design
    • realistic clothes for G8/G8.1 males and females with morphs to open things that can be opened in reality (Zippers for example). Not cloth designer dreams that no average person would wear.
    • cars with motors and moveable doors and bonnets etc. Not thousands of racing/sports cars. Details like sliding doors on the wrong side of the car are a no-buy for me
    • Utility Plugins

    I already got lots of the above. So having to pay too much is no option for me. 

    I could make the list longer, but some things I've already mentioned before: I have no need for G9 and I'm too lazy to adjust G9 stuff to G8/8.1, because my experiences with doing it are mixed. I spend not enough money here to ever get maybe a single token, so sales needing 8 token to get me a price a would be willing to pay are no sales for me.

    One could just say: I'm not the type of customer that DAZ targets with their sales.

    It's such a shame that most beautiful buildings don't have doors that can be opened and lack interior layout. It would be wonderful if add-ons with "movable doors and windows and interior layout" were available. 

    Regarding clothing, I really hope Daz can at least add a filter option for "whether clothing can be opened".

     

    Interior layouts can easily be added to an empty space. Adding a door to a wall isn't simple. Same goes for windows. If a door or window isn't rigged. Just make sure the entire door and door jam are their own surfaces so they can be hidden easily and replaced with a functional door or window.

    My pet peeve is opening an asset and finding the "!scene full.duf" is a group and 50+ individual items with not hierachy. Bed is alphabetically between barstool and countertop. The side table for the bed is down at S. The clock radio on the side table is at C. Utterly annoying having to spend time "fixing" the scene so if I want to move the side table, everything on it moves with it.

    ...so a bit confused on Monday's sale,  There is no usual "base discount" (50% or 60%) shown for the Featured artist category and everything is "list price" (30% off for DOs).  Does one need to include these items as part of a BYOB to get a discount?

    If so, this sale sounds like one that is only for those with deep pockets.

    Which PA are you referring to? The ones I checked have a marked sale price. 

     Probably talking about the Combo Artists.

    ...that is all which shows up on the Monday sale page 

    The next one in the queue is from previous day that featured the Stonemason Lakehaven set which had an "anaemic" Featured Artist selection. The one after that is from yet an earlier day off of which i purchased several Sue Yee clothing items.

    So the Monday offerings were just for the BYOB sale that  is too rich for my budget as it requies purhcing new relsases (most of which were for G9) that meant no chance for double tokens.

    ...hmm, the banner for the flash sale isn't working, clicking it only refreshes the main store page.

    It did the same some days ago.

    Maybe you are just supposed to buy some Daz+, but there a few days ago and had a look, and decided it was not for me. 

  • CybersoxCybersox Posts: 9,629

    That Vasquez Rocks model is not a new product.  The DS version has been available at Renderosity for quite a while.

    ...apparently looking at a few posts above and it looks like it was a Wednesday (01/14) only offer but it still shows on the banner at 01:55 today here on the west coast (which is 02:55 Daz Utah time) so it's been up for almost three hours after it should have ended.

    Still up at 4:55am Daz time. No idea if it works or ever worked since I am Base.

    I thought "a period of time" referred to 20 years ago. After checking, I think I guessed wrong. 

    This model reminds me of the first time I set foot on the land of Durota.

    It's 'new' here. There are other 'new' products that are available for several months now at the other stores for a fraction of the cost. I had to double check since I already bought that dress.

    Makes me wonder how DAZ and PAs deal with publishing rights.

    18 tokens
    Although I ended up not buying and lost the 18 tokens. The current sales and new items are overall not something that interests me. Base and no tokens is way too expensive for hobby. I bought a lot of content in the last super sale, none is even installed yet. I'm traveling though so no computer.
  • Ron KnightsRon Knights Posts: 2,501

    I admit I went wild around the beginning of the month. 

    But I can't keep up that level of intensity indefinately.

    It seems like the sales never stop. It's time to ignore them.

    The PAs own the rights to the items they sell under their names at Daz & other stores. They get to decide where they sell them & for how long. Sites probably have an exclusivity clause in their policies but that would end once the PA stops selling a product there, presumably after a notice period. I know of a few PAs who have stores at Daz & also another site - but it's a different catalog at each store.

    I don't think there are many rules anymore.  I know that, once upon a time, DAZ wouldn't allow a product sold here to be sold at other sites, but that rule seems to have been relaxed or dropped around the time that they started aggressively pulling in Renderosity artists older catalogs in huge waves about two years ago.  A few of those vendors even changed their store names, like Luna3D becoming Starlight13 at Rendo.

    ...21:42 and clicking on the Shop Now button for the D+ Flash Sale still just refreshes the main store page. Cleared the cache in both FF and Chrome again and it doesn't help.   If the sale ended Wednesday, then why is it still up on the main store page banner?

    @kyoto kid: It doesn't have to lead you anywhere, because every daz+ product is already reduced, so you only have to put it into your cart. For daz+ membership it is 30% reduced + tokens, if you decide to use them.

    Here you can see, even the new items are reduced (I have premier):

  • Wendy has been added & the rest of the Premier free bundle selection has been changed up. Still only 10 bundles, alas. 

    Cast of characters: Wendy, Haerin, Lauryn, Cecelia, Sylvia, Kara, Chert (Troll), Karmen, Julia, & Freja

    I highly recommend Sylvia and can't say enough good things about the character. I also have Chert but haven't been able to try him out as I bought him just before the computer died. He does look good, has a cool monster skin, and has a lot of character in his face. I want to try adding just a touch of Chert to make a really Grumpy Old Man.

    I have a couple of the older ones wishlisted but haven't decided if I want either bundle enough to buy a month of Premier. I probably should just stick to looking until I really, really want to buy something.

    ....the issue is it didn't change the store page to reflect only Daz+ items as the image in your post above shows . I just kept getting the full store page which is why I thought it wasn't working or it was the previous day's sale that expired (usually shortly after the changeover everything doesn't immediately reset to the next day)..

    As I mentioned I tried it multiple times in both FireFox and Chrome, cleared the cache in both, and still got just the full main store page.

    Of course now it's moot as the store changed over to Friday's selection/sales and what was likely the best offer of this month so far is over. 

    ____________________________

    ETA (unrelated to the above)

    ...really tired of this UTC rubbish.  Just lost a bunch of tokens. They need to go back to actual Daz Time for things like this and membership expirations.  Almost thinking of calling it quits until March as for the most part the sales this month have been pretty "meh" usually requiring a debut item as a buy in to get a decent discount and next mohth will likely be Valetines themed (more sexy lingerie).

    I'm sorry you missed it @kyoto kid. Still, I think without premier, the sale wasn't as good as it may seem on my screenshot (I got 60% off instead of 30% with daz+). And especially concerning daz+ products it can be said "there will be another sale"- so hope you soon will get a comparable offer!
