    You aren't being charged those base prices, they are on sale.  You are being charged $12.57 and  $11.17, respectively.  (You did note it was base prices.)  Then Holiday discount on top of that, which may be why it is priced higher?

     

    That's a despicable practice, though...putting a higher price on it so the discount comes to around normal.  Not a way to instill confidence in your customers.  I find a lot of these are very expensive these days.  to me, they've gone crazy with these "base" characters.  Used to be, V4 was the base and the rest were morphs.  Now, they have Genesis x as the base, then they create other bases that are really not bases, they are morphs (shapes) for the Genesis base.  I never was crazy about that pracitce.  But it looks like it's here to stay.  No matter, I can't afford all those things, anyway.

    Actually V4 had A4, G4 and S4, which where the same kind of things as these "sub bases" we have today, ie starting points for PAs to create other characters from. The main difference though today is that there are a lot more of these sub-bases than they used to be.

    And my opinion is, with less need.

    I like today's release, but just the textures for little less than what I normally get the morphs for too.

    ...I can wait.

    At least for me it only seems to work with the full Top Model Bundle and NOT with the other individual items.

    Actually, no.  A4, S4 and Girl 4 required that you had V4...That was the base!  They were new morhps...shapes...for V4.  Other characters after those would work without them, but wouldn't have the full look as the promos.  Because they required the morphs to get, for example, the Asian look of A4 to start from.  This, of course, meant they were at least partially, if not entirely, dialed morphs that started with the add-on shapes.  So, these new things are similar.  But A4 was never called a base figure...that was V4.  

    I'll say no more.

    Lots of the G2 and G3 characters work this way. They require a base model and a particular other character (A4, 5 or 6, G4, Eva, Giselle, M5 or M6,. Josie 7) to get the look of the  PROMO... but if you buy them and apply them and you don't have that secondary character, they'll still change the look of the base.

    I mean, you can always get Dyetrying's morphs from ShareCG and spin your own morphs into almost anything that you want... it is just a matter of how much time you have and trial you want to invest in getting the look you want. 

    The people who do this are artists. They want to get paid. I don't think it is unfair for them to charge us. There is almost ALWAYS a cheaper or free way to achieve basically the same goal. 

    But I use Photoshop... not GIMP... for a reason.

    Question- on the Top Model Bundle- is that supposed to trigger a 10% off the entire order, INCLUDING the Top Model Bundle?  There's no * disclaimers, so that should be that it is included? (This is a copy/paste below:) 

    EXTRA 10% OFF entire order with the purchase of TOP MODEL BUNDLE FOR GENESIS 3 FEMALES

    Well it took 10% off my whole cart yesterday (did not check out). At the moment, those 10% are gone. Hope they will be re-enabled.

  • Sensual ArtSensual Art Posts: 646

    Based on the way the top model bundle offer is presented, it seems the site-wide 10% off would remain till the bundle is on introductory-sale. This would however stack with all succeeding sales offer during that period. whether that was the initial intention is the question here.

    If that 10% off was intended for day only then they should have said that clearly on the promo page. This could have been done in multiple ways - creating a orange banner for all or creating a separate section especially for the site-wide 10% off and removing it today without impacting the top model promo stuff.

  • NovicaNovica Posts: 23,925

    I don't see how they could keep it past a day though- because today has a 10% offer if you buy two of today's new products. That already stacks with Holiday discounts, so stacking three discounts may overwhelm the (already shaky) cart. But whole-heartedly agreed, the one day only needs to be posted if that's the case. Just file a ticket.

    I would, however, only purchase things from yesterday or prior, and not mix in any of today's. It could cloud the issue. Or you could try to get the 10 percent today's offer, and the one from yesterday. Confusion reigns supreme here. 

  • Sensual ArtSensual Art Posts: 646

    Even the 95% off offer on three items is also not working. It was supposed to be for two days including today. The sales banner is still visible.

    Today's offer of extra 10% offer covers only the sections for today and not site-wide.

  • Rod Wise DriggoRod Wise Driggo Posts: 2,344

    Well, todays offer is buy two new releases to get 10% of just them. Yesterday was buy Top Model Bundle to get 10% complete order. Take this plus the Holiday discount and you should get:

    - Holiday, then 10%, then 10% on todays new releases
    - Holiday, then 10% on rest of the cart

    That's what the promo does read and that's why I did not purchase Top Model Bundle yesterday.

    Now not only is the free with purchase sign language item still not working, but the buy new item get one of 3 items at 95% off is also broken. I really wanted to buy those hairs but all these offers continually breaking and then breaking in new ways is making me lose interest.

    I emptied my cart; I have other stuff i need to do, and it's far more important.

    Daz needs to get this right, much more consistently.

    I absolutely LOVE Die Trying's 182 Morphs for G2F!  I haven't tried yet...But, I hope to use GenX2 to port these to G3F if  Sickleyield hasn't already done it.  I could and did get by with just those morphs for character creation for about a year, before adding other creation tools and merchant resources.  It really is an amazing set for FREE.  Thank you, Sickleyield and DieTrying!

    Ditto, after hours of selecting a whole bunch of stuff at great discounts, my cart updated and everything in it went up by over 50%.  I checked back today to see if it was fixed...but, no good.  I wasn't able to get many of the offered deals.  And, 2 of the no purchase necessary, freebies offered this week, I had just bought with other deals a few days ago.  That kind of annoyed me because I bought some items that I didn't really want just to qualify to get those.  But, that's not really a big problem.  I'd just like to get the deals that I did have all picked out yesterday and those couple of qualifying freebies (Jepe's and April's) that wouldn't work in the cart..

    BTW...how'd you get the Ajax Hair bundle so cheap?  I bought it yesterday with a new release and it came up at $13...?  I didn't pay attention.  But, I think that must've been broken then as well....grr.

    Also get 50% OFF* AprilYSH's Catalog

    60% OFF WITH PURCHASE OF A NEW RELEASE

    60% off + 15% loyalty bonus = 72% I assume, same reason the new release is discounting to the otherwise odd 41%

    It's frustrating because without these sorts of offers I really couldn't afford to buy content, but then the amount of times things are broken making me unable to purchase stops a lot of buying ... this time one part was broken yesterday, but BOTH parts are broken today, and since the 95% part ends after today if it's not fixed I guess the hair will have to wait for some sort of sale next year or something.

    Holy cow, you need a secret decoder ring and a pot of coffee to figure out today's sales. Yesterday I actually ended up emptying my cart. As much as I liked all of the things in it, I didn't really need any of them at the moment. I have been planning to get Gypsy Angel's Mace and I can *always* use superhero stuff for my Black Kat series, so I'll take a look at today's sales. They've been so confusing lately. I'm definitely going to need more coffee!

    I see...well, I think I got hosed on that one.  It was on sale for the 50% off, so I bought it at $13.98, along with a new release.  But, I didn't get the added 60% and 15%.  I think after all the discounts, this should have come out at $4.75.  Even if the discount had started at the full price, after the 60% special and 15% holiday bonus, the price should have been $9.51.  So, either way, I didn't get all the discount I was supposed to.  I put in another ticket at Daz.  But, I expect they are going to be overflowing with this kind of ticket when they get into the office tomorrow. (sigh)

    There seem to be some great deals on older stuff, but what I don't get is why some of the newer superhero stuff isn't on sale. I have the supersuits for G3s, and am now specifically looking for these items below to finish creating some of my more unusual "Supers". The holiday discount is great, but was hoping the newer versions would be in the sale, since their older versions are. It's not urgent, I can wait.

    I'm not seeing the extra 10% for Top Model Bundle indicated anywhere on the site now. That must've been a one day thing.

    Apparently I'm blind. It's there, I was looking in the wrong place. Guess this stuff will sit in my cart a bit till they fix today's errors, LOL

    In fairness, the TopModel morphs package is multiple faces, more than you normally get. 

    Didn't buy the bundle though; the character skin didn't speak to me and the outfit was useless to me, so I just got the hair. I was a little tempted by the face morphs because they seem like an interesting mix.

    Hrm still not seeing the extra 10% for the top model bundle. But they finally fixed the 95% offer and the sign freebie, so just grabbed the hair because wow so useful. The rest of the bundle is lovely, but nothing I particularly need.

  • LlynaraLlynara Posts: 4,772

    If they fix that, I might buy it. Still on the fence.

  • FSMCDesignsFSMCDesigns Posts: 12,856

    I really should pick up the hair as I have an older V4 product that is the same concept, a base and various bangs and tails and it has proven VERY useful and I still use it to this day on G3F
