    On Something else i allready wanted to discuss Yesterday:

    Is Dreamland Models aware how much revenue she/he/they is/are throwing away.

    I believe maybe 20-30% more work for creating DAZ format files/folder structures + Iray Materials would probably rsult in at least 100% more sales.

    I love this river front set but I'm not willing to have to do all the stuff by hand for such a big set especially at this prícepoint

    I think he might be planning on releasing them for Daz: http://www.daz3d.com/forums/discussion/116631/dreamland-models-release-plan-commercial/

    I must be blind.

     

    Correct prices still showing, but BYOB is still the same items - I thought Jack said something about thinking about adding day 2's items to it. I think related items has changed since there are a ton of new lil bit items but no lil bit anymore, but many images broken.

    Yeah, for me too. I have never bought an HD addon before but really want one for the added realism it gives and I was contemplating yesterday whether or not if I get it if I could figure out how to make it work for a figure that wasn't Eva, or if one HAD to have Eva to make it work. lol I'm sure, on hind sight, that it probably does require Eva though.

    Thanks!

    Just for reference, I'm mainly over in the MO area.. if there are problems specific to the PC anni sale feel free to post over there instead. More chance I'll spot it and saves me tearing around the forums.. thanks!

    I briefly saw some other items in that BYOB list, but now they're gone...Bat Thing probably ate them

    I was headed there if it wasn't changed within the hour. I knew those weren't right and would be spotted- pretty glaring! (Not that they're not WORTH that price, but...) 

  • Got the Eva banner. Yay, now since I haven't picked up her for 1.80 without additional purchases, I'm allowed to pick her up for 5.00 with additional purchase. Let me see, how big is the chance I'll take advantage of that? Oh yes, zero.

    (For those who want to tell me I'm ungreteful: It's a great price for a DAZ character, but I don't see any advantage from her shape and skin, there are only two characters based on her, so I'll pass. If it would have been Victoria, I would have picked her up. There are waaayyy more characters based on Victoria, and they keep popping up in the store. Eva seems just like generic skin and shape, barely away from Victoria. Plus I just picked up Arabella, with her beautiful goth makeups. What else does a girl need?)

    The front page new releases keep doing the swirlie thing for me. I think the site is ill. Probably due to the flu season starting soon. cheeky

    Is that 'get an extra 10% off whole order' thing working?  Doesn't seem to be for me.

    I think so. I just tested it on an item that is supposed to be $3.00 and the price goes to $2.70 with a debut item in the cart, so it appears to be working for me. It's giving me some kind of extra discount anyway. I'm not sure if it's exactly 10% as math and I don't get along. lol :P

  • RenomistaRenomista Posts: 921

    the BYOB seems to work every day (maybe even every purchase)

    Yep, even if you don't put 8 in the cart.

    It doesn't get down to the .37/.38 cent price for each item though until you get 8 in the cart (at least for me).

    Of course. You pay 2,99 for all of them no matter how many you add. So 1 is 2,99 2 are 1,50 aech  3 are 1,00 each  etc. until you reach 8 for 0,37 each

    The final price will be 2.99. If you have less items, than the per item price will be higher, but the total will still be 2.99

    Remember that the PA that created this does not know DS very well at all (although he has stated that he is learning it), so knocking up DS shaders for all his stuff, particularly if they are to behave in an identical/similar way to the Poser shaders will be a lot of work. However I agree that it would generate a lot more sales, and I am sure the PA is aware of that, which is why he is learning Studio.

  • I have a question about the PC+ thingy. I put the quarterly membership in my cart just for fun and it's showing the amazing price of $9.60, which I can afford. Right now. However, in three months, will I get a heads up e-mail from DAZ reminding me about renewal/expiration? In order to avoid any sudden checking account surprises. Or if I just buy a $10 gift cad and then use that to buy the membership, will I not have to wory about $24 getting sucked out of my checking account unexpectedly in three months? 

    I guess my main question is: Will I get a reminder from DAZ, when the membership is about to expire?

    Some people seem to not get reminders for some reason, I always received 2 email reminders before the expiry of my membership.

    I think if you cancel it before it's due for renewal (remembering to cancel it with PayPal too), then it will run it's course and Daz will send you a reminder to renew it just before it expires, but I don't think you get sent a reminder if it's about to automatically renew.

    *IF* you get the emails, then you do get a reminder even if it is set to renew automatically.

  • Finally got an Eva banner today, saying because I had 5 or more Core G3F characters, I could add Eva to the buy-8 bundle for $5.  Course, I already HAVE Eva 7, so...

    So did I, but the warm glow of not being left out did feel great laugh

    So, if I bought it today, it there a way to set it not to auto-renew, but still keep the three month membership? Would that be cancelling?

    sorry if these are dumb questions, I just wanna make sure I get this right and have no suprise charges.

    Yes, I've been told that if you set it to cancel (and also cancel in Paypal if that's what you used), it will not auto-renew. They often do great deals on full year memberships so I would look out for those in the next three months, definitely worth it. You can add those to your existing membership at any time. Cancelling just stops auto-renew, not your existing membership.

    If you purchase it and then cancel (but don't request a refund), it should work until the paid subscription runs out, but since you cancelled, it shouldn't try to re-up the subscription automatically. This is probably something a help-desk ticket could address more accurately, but I'm sure lots of people in the forums have done what you are wanting to do, so you'll probably get confirmations here that are realiable. My subscription expires early 2018, so I probably won't be extending it now, but I think it's worth the cost of the annual subscription if you can afford it even at full price.

    When you are a member there is PC+ setting page in the in your Account settings.

    There is a checkbox for auto renewal that you can uncheck,

    If you paid with pay Pal you must also cancel on the PayPal Site

    Then wait for an Annual Membership offer (you get it for 50% off -> 35$ ever few month, somtimes even cheaper)

    Ok. Thank you. I think I will do this. I appreciate the help in allaying my concerns. smiley
