    I have a lot of things in my wishlist that are "conditional"... I keep them there so I can easily find them when the time comes I actually need them. But my wishlist exploded this month as I couldn't afford to buy everything I wanted. That will be true for at least the next six months as I throw money at the ol' CC to pay off the new computer! Painful for now, but worth it in the long run. And the stuff I can't afford now, will be eligible for discounts by the time the computer is paid for. Seems like a win-win... and if DS has support for the Pascal nVidia cards by then, it'll be a win-win-win! Woo hoo!

    And, yeah, a pretty good PA sale, perhaps all the better for not having a plethora of things I "must have now," in light of the computer purchase, lol... Now if I can only survive the PC+ anniversary sale.
    laugh

    lol My thoughts exactly! I got off really easy this month though as the entire first part of the PA sale (for three weeks or so) there wasn't anything released that I felt I HAD to have (except TerraDome3 which I have yet to get). But once I saw the Cayman Studios product for using G3F textures on G2F - and then saw the brow stuff later coupled with a ton of FWSA characters at FOUR DOLLARS each ...I was sunk. lol I spent $57 dollars this month on Daz stuff. And that's $37 above my monthly Daz budget! lol While that's quite a bit over budget I felt I got off easy, as the PA sale could have been much harder on me to keep from spending more. Thankfully the first three weeks or so was, for me, pretty yawn worthy. 

    I have a feeling the PC+ sale is going to make me spend even more. Please pray for the health of my marriage. lol :) Or at least pray that I get a lot of commissions in so that I can get some goodies without incurring the wrath of my loving hubby. lol

    I'm very much looking forward to the PC+ sale. I hear that we get some FREE GOODIES! :D Is that true?

    New sale banners are up......but the actual sale page is the same as yesterday. New stuff doesn't seem to have populated as yet.

    Yeah all the new products still 404. Email says something about starter bundles for free.

    :sigh:

    every time, there's something. 

  • jakibluejakiblue Posts: 7,281

    judging by the picture in the sale banner, I think they're going to be the Genesis 2 line.

    'FREE! Test Of Stamina With EVERY Purchase!'

  • jakibluejakiblue Posts: 7,281

    And I definitely think it's needed. Sale banners went up an hour ago. Then store died. Store came back. Still no new releases showing. Wow.

    I'm having issues with the forum too. Many pages are giving me this: 

    503 Service Unavailable

    No server is available to handle this request.

     

    ...I think it must be a related issue.

    So with the PC sale coming up and the PA Sale winding down, I'm considering whether or not its worth it to buy a bunch of $1.99 PC+ items in my wishlist right now for a hypothetical 20% off, or will the PC sale be better than that?

    I can't imagine there's much room to discount items that are already $1.99. I still haven't read anything about how the PC sales worked last year except someone said there were bundles of items.

    But that just sounds like they want to persuade me to buy things I don't really need. So the bundle idea is not compelling to me. Now if I found out I got to create my own bundles for XX% off, or something like that, that would be a different story. Anybody have any insight on this from last year?

    Last year there was a mega freebie bundle of PC+ items, and then ...several? PC+ bundles of multiple items for very cheap during the month. All PC+ items were 50% for the whole sale if I remember correctly.

    50% off for all PC+ sounds good. I guess I'm waiting then!

    No guarantee it'll be the same this year, of course, but last year the PC+ was much more memorable than PA sale for me.

    I spent *way* more than I planned last PA sale. It was actually kind of ridiculous at times.

    This was my first PA sale and soon to be PC sale, so I spent way more than I planned, especially this weekend. I think I would have saved money if I went to Vegas instead, lol. But I took my wishlist from 300 items down to around 25, so once I pick up these PC+ items I want, I should be done for good.

    Yeh sure, keep telling yourself that. laugh

     

    My wishlist has increased, as the gift card offers were underwhelming from my POV.

    I am, however, still in the market for a good offer that doesn't insist I buy stuff I don't want.

    I think you're on the wrong website. lol :P

    Indeed, I've spent cash elsewhere.

    A giftcard purchase very much curtails that; if I spend my budget at Daz on a giftcard, I restrict my spend elsewhere. I haven't so have more options. Good for me, but not Daz.

    ... And weird, I didn't get an email today.

    I really like the look of the Stage Hand set for timesaving (and the idea of something made by both AoA and DT working together ;o) I'm thinking of buying it so I can get a free starter bundle I don't need.

    Does anyone know how the lighting works in it specifically (using a preloaded scene) ? Does it have its own lights setup with no need for a HDRI or combined or do you need to do it manually?

  • kaotkblisskaotkbliss Posts: 2,914

    Why couldn't GC be 40% off today too :(

    I have $7 in my bank account but not being a PC+ member anymore, I can't get my cart low enough to actually afford a debut item to get the free starter bundle. Doh.

    This is a really well put together sale day. Putting The Nathan Parable products and the new Line Renderer and Age of Armour all on sale on the same day... It's like a GET YOUR NPR KIT HERE party.

  • RenomistaRenomista Posts: 921

    Anyone bought "ElastiFace Expressions for Star2" and can test how they work on G3F or other figures.

    I like the expressions but dont use Star2

    You can contact customer support using the "Contact Us" link at the bottom of each page. (Here's a direct link: http://www.daz3d.com/help/help-contact-us )

    But keep in mind, that that's how it's always worked with free products. The discount the coupon gives gets distributed among all products in the cart. Even the free ones, sucking up a part of the discount.

    thx for the answer.

    But the fact that it has always been wrong doesn't make it right!!  The 6USD Coupon is a 6USD worth of things. You can't adjust it against its clear signification written by daz!!

    Monthly PA Coupon:

    $6 off $18 on Daz, PC, and PA items. Excludes new releases, gift cards, and memberships.

    They have to correct the calculation ON THEIR side not on the customer side!!! And you seem to confirm that it is a problem for a long time. Wich is WRONG

    Anyone else having problems trying to get to the shopping cart??

    Yeah, and DIM is completely down again too.

  • Charlie JudgeCharlie Judge Posts: 13,241

    Yep. And I'm even having problems getting into the store. I guess they are taking pity on us and telling us to save our money.

    More like they took our money, but now we have no access to our content. I've been trying for days to download my content purchased on Saturday. I'm ready to just return my entire order.

    I haven't opened DS up yet to try and d/l through connect/smart content, but I'll check it in a few moments when hubby's Forza update has finished d/l in xbox. 

  • boisselazonboisselazon Posts: 458

    for me , it's been 2 days with problems: daz connect, daz program, dim, now the forum then the shoping cart....

    I wonder if anyone with DRMed products are having any issues; it would be interesting to find out.

    Oh, and I did have two items in my card; I was considering them until the issue started; in fairness I likely wouldn't, but who knows, maybe. Just because I rarely buy when I don't have a gift card, doesn't mean I never buy.

    It doesn't help all that much. I'm PC+ but neither one of the coupons work on new releases, sadly. Nothing comes to $7, so don't feel bad that you're not PC+ - in this instance it wouldn't help. The cheapest "debut" item needed to trigger the "free starter bundle" is $8.97. You can get a $8.97 item down to $7.47 but only if you add ANOTHER new item to the cart - which of course increases the total check out amount by quite a bit. 

  • jakibluejakiblue Posts: 7,281

    Well, I can't "log in" to DS at the moment, getting "connection to server failed" message. I can use DS of course......can you think of something recent that was DRM so I can have a look?

    Ok, the "Lulu Outfit for Genesis 3 Females" http://www.daz3d.com/lulu-outfit-genesis-3-female-s is "Encrypted DAZ Content" only. Even tho I'm not logged in to DS, it's showing normally in Smart content and it loads as normal. So seems to be ok. 

  • jakibluejakiblue Posts: 7,281

    FINALLY logged in in DS...but product I bought this morning isn't showing in the 'available' tab. Tried all the filters but...nope. It's not there.
