I'm glad you where finally able to get the site cooperating and the Cloudflare errors to stop long enough to make your purchases. :D
The site just went down 15 minutes before deadline so I thought "oh no, not again", but then luckily a few minutes later it was up again so I just managed to check out in time.
It's not so much skipping a purchase, there's always another sale, it's the time you've wasted finding stuff and filling up the cart etc. that's the real annoyance.
For me it's definitely the skipping a purchase - the excitement of thinking you're finally going to get something you've been wanting for quite a while only to have the site go "HA! JUST KIDDING! No purchase for you!". But the hours and hours wasted trying to get the site to cooperate long enough to get the items to show up and trying to get it to go into your cart - that's definitely almost as bad.
The amount of broken on the site lately is unreal. So many missing images, incorrect prices, etc. The sales prices being wrong happens all the time (which is already a problem but often works to customer advantage) but the amount of general bugs on the site since this sale has started are so far beyond anything I've seen in the past year. If their advertising methods hadn't already ruined my impulse buy feelings, this sure would.
Here's my current view of today's new sale page:
Barely anything fits on the screen even at fullscreen 1080 but wow so many broken images on yesterday's items (and they've been like that for 24hrs now.)
LOL i read that as ...."at least I have good ringlets".... and was all "ooooo a new hair?? where????"
Well then you can experience that excitement again, when you finally manage to get it next time. Double excitement for the same price, lol.
As for the broken images you can just click on the text, to get the product page.
Here's my daily email~
I just read on another thread that there's some sort of server update coming to fix images so maybe that's what happened here. And no, it really doesn't matter if you can click through to another page to get to a product - if your site is displaying like this repeatedly then there is something you need to change (which they are doing: I'm not saying "I'm not buying because of this!" I'm saying "This is an issue that needs highlighting to be fixed.")
If you'll let me know when I can get the Girl 6 bundle for free with the purchase of a new release, I'll be sure and get that excited again. :P
There is a ghetto bird flying circles over me now. I should go in and lock my doors.
Man, I've never seen such a mess.
But everything seems to be working (well, only got new stuff and an old propsclub item I don't have a file for) and sale prices are right...
except for the 10% off entire order (which is in the first little box on the top of the main sales page).
Decided to go ahead anyway, I have other things to do instead of waiting around here.
But the Vintage Rose outfit (PC+) is not DIM downloadable? The page doesn't say it's encrypted so don't know what's up with that?
I'm sure it will show up again, if not for free, then for a very low price. There's tons of stuff I've purchased which has been offered for free or at a very low price later. Especially Daz Originals are often heavily discounted.
In my experience, DAZ does a good job of making things right. I suspect they haven't done anything yet as they are waiting until the site is reasonably stable again. It wouldn't do to repeat the offer, and have customers still not able to make their purchases. I wouldn't give up hope on that free Girl 6 bundle just yet, if I were you.
The hope is a sad sputtering tiny flame inside my little heart - but it's still burning. lol :P
Thanks, L'Adair. :) I do hope you're right.
Shouldn't Ant Farm be in the Featured Artists? I was gonna buy the Bat Thing and something else by Ant Farm, but its not showing in featured artists. I thought the featured artists were everyone that had something in debut or still new releases.
Yeah, I thought that's how it works too. It might be just another one of the site's ongoing glitches though.
yeah...even with the images fixed, the new sales banner format is so designy that really just plain defies being read. i can only view one row of new releases at a time on my laptop or my desktop...once i've managed to locate them. :/
oh well. this too shall pass.

Despite all the frustrating madness, I can confirm that the gift cards are over 20% off right now, 21.25% to be exact. I won't post a screen as to not bring too much attention to it, but buy them fast before they correct it.
I see some advertisement about getting SOME Michael characters free with the purchase of two New Debut items... but I see nothing about which Michael characters, and I can't find any information anywhere on the site, or get any Michael related characters to show up for free no matter what I put in my basket. I'm surprised I haven't seen other people complaining - I just figure like me, most people posting in the forums already have M4, M5, M6 and M7 - probably in Pro Bundles... so no one really cares.
I've seen several posts on this.

(I've seen a couple more but can't remember where right now.)
The free Michaels are M4, M5 and M6. As you've already figured out, they aren't showing because you already own them. It was a really good deal for anyone just getting started with Daz Studio. The rest of us already have all the Michaels, (well, most of the rest of us.)
sadly only 10% sowing; well i can wait. Good for me, Rendo, and not Daz.
Yeah, I just tested it too. Only 10% with a new release added. 20% would have been pretty awesome.
When did we get to a world where 10% giftcard with the purchase of a $2 item is a "bad deal" ?
10% off with a purchase of a new release, to my broke arse, is usually a bad deal. lol :P
If I can only afford a $9.00 gift card. That takes off less than the cost of the new release required to trigger the 10% off. So I'm losing money that way.
The only way it's not a bad deal is if you plan on spending quite a bit. In which case, yes, it's worth it. Otherwise it's not a good deal.
So, if Eva got a $5 /w BYO Bundle offer, does anyone think Bethany will at some point, too?
I got the Eva offer, but aside from the fact the character doesn't interest me, the items in the BYOB category were leaving me wanting (I have no desire or use for Gothic/spoopy architecture), so I passed on it. But OTOH, the Bethany Pro Bundle is priced just enough after all the discounts that I think I can splurge just a little.
It's a hidden Orange Banner deal that you have to qualify for (looks like having to own 5 or more "7 figures"?).
But yes, apparently Bethany 7 has the same discount as Eva 7 did for those who qualify:
http://www.daz3d.com/forums/discussion/comment/1681666/#Comment_1681666
Just checked, and I qualified for it. Niiiiiice. Might hold off to see if they add more things to the BYOB tomorrow (I do have use for cars and hair, at least).
It must be different qualifications because I own more than 5 G& figures and qualifled for the Eva 7 (which I already had) offer; BUT I don't have a banner for Bethany 7 and the offer doesn't work for me. Oh, well.
Edit: I'm not sure what the difference was / is; but now I got the offer. Of course it is for a figure I already have; but at least I don't feel left out.
