    Not to mention at least one major glitch of the store.  :)

    One?? You're optimistic. LMAO

    Make that one per week, and I'll take it. :)

    Well, I will admit that I would like to see a new cat or dog (hopefully with better *feet* and an LAMH preset). And MM being the DAZ O fest, would be an excellent time to release one. And, we may well see the mysterious Mika 7, since fits for her have been turning up in a numbeer of packages. That doesn't usually happen until a product is about to go public.

    But the fact is that DAZ has a track record of keeping their own coming attractions very much under wraps, so it's pretty hard to second-guess what they have stockpiled for release during this, or any other event. Historically this was the time that they released a lot of buy-outs from various vendors, many of which had previously been in other marketplaces, but it's mostly seemed to be stuff commissioned specifically for the event for the past few years.

    They used to post a teaser image with tiny little hints over in the PC forum and we'd have a ball trying to guess what the images were actually of. But they haven't done that for years, either.

    I do remember that for the past two years, the event has opened with a punch card sale, where the more items you buy, the bigger your discount. And both years they've dropped it at the end of the 2nd week. But the people who played along got to keep whatever discount they'd earned until the end of the event. But there is not telling whether they'll do it again this time. They tend to change the rules each year.

    Yeah, I'm really hoping that we'll get a new cat or dog figure. It's about time now, right?

    Look at what AM is working on, I think it will be squirrels and rodents next. The Cat and Dog could be a long way off yet :-(

    I'm really hoping to see Skin Builder Pro 3 out.  That's going to be a great MR addition to the textures I already own.

    ...yes   Yes me too.  I've been reading about the development and it is going to be better than it's predecessor.

    ...or another update to the site software that messes everything up like happned a couple years ago during the height of the PC anniversary sale.

    10 Bikinis

    4 sets of lingerie with high heels!

    2 pose sets for the ladies

    2 environments (1 large 1 small)

    1 outfit for the guys

    and a confusing punch card sale on daz originals

    ...add a set of both fantasy and sci fi armour with high heels, completely exposed gut and an impossibly big cumbersome weapon that even an Olympic weightlifter would have trouble welding but is no trouble for dainty female hands.

    ...and  seconding the prediction of a pair of socks for G3M (or maybe a Tie....or Belt).

    ...wonder if there's a betting line in Vegas on this.

    I predict that the DAZ Mathemagicians will come up with a new incentive scheme so complex as to make every previous sale straightforward. By Day 4, people will be wandering around muttering "But if I buy the Unflateable Pony and three items whose names begin with 'R' from a featured artist catalog, then I will accumulate enough quatloos to get me a 4.72% discount on Victoria 8 HD when she's released in 2018, but only if I renew my Platinum Club subscription before March 8th, without spending all the flibbertigibets that I earned by buying the Millennium Wombat and five items from the Build-your-own-Dinosaur Bundle. Or was it seven items from the People, Places and Things That You Might Plausibly Use To Chase a Raccoon Out of the Sauna Flash Sale?"

    I predict that not less than 3.8% of active DAZ users will make at least one joke about their credit card screaming and running away to hide behind the sofa.

    I predict that March Madness will begin in February and end in April.

    I predict that Jack Tomalin will change his avatar to include a preposterous hat.

    I predict that not less than 5.6% of active DAZ users will compliment Jack on his avatar's preposterous hat.

    I predict that DAZ will throw in at least one gift card sale part-way through the month so that people can tell themselves that they're saving money, even while they spend their kid's college fund buying Naughty Space Undies HD for Victoria 7.

    I predict that the Unflateable Pony will, once again, fail to show up, but if it does at least one of the artist renders will show it wearing Jack's preposterous hat. Or possibly Naughty Space Undies HD. Or both.

    I predict that Jack Tomalin will change his avatar a second time, to showcase a second, even more preposterous hat.

    I predict that I will spend far too much money.

  • kyoto kidkyoto kid Posts: 41,854

    ...and will there be an HD Cube 7?  Been waiting for an update to the venerable Daz MilCube since rumours years ago of a Gen4 Elite version.  

  • BlueIreneBlueIrene Posts: 1,318

    I'm in the middle of rendering an image which features Stonemason's Streets of Old London, and remembering how long we seemed to be hotly anticipating it after he gave us a sneak peek made me think of this thread. I'm sure Skin Builder 3 will be just as much worth the wait.

    Meanwhile, I'm expecting March Madness to offer at least one more sci-fi control deck that I have absolutely no use for. Never mind. We might even see Mec4D's wood shaders, which I vaguely recall as being tipped to arrive during March last year :)

  • thistledownsnamethistledownsname Posts: 1,336

    I'm still waiting and hoping for Mec4d PBS shaders 4.

    I predict there will be lots of sales, lots of content and even more sales and more content.  I also predict there will be some complaining in the forums too

    There will be complaints about the theme of the sale, or that there is no theme; too much skimpwear, not enough male content - and the amount of money spent before the month is half over.

  • david_macraedavid_macrae Posts: 109

    I do not usually post in these threads but man @bytescapes had me in stitches. I'm actually hoping the sale is not too good. I amgoing on vacation for the first time in a few years in Apr. and I do not want to spend all the money I saved. haha 

    I am going to an anime convention to promote my animation as I plan on making a career of it someday.

  • kyoto kidkyoto kid Posts: 41,854

    ...yeah I have an RPG convention in March so that will curtail my purchasing a bit.  Fortunately it is here in town this year so I don't need a hotel room, just the membership and bus fare.

    It's not March yet. We've still got two days for them to jump the gun.

    If I remeber correctly last year MM started on the Monday of the week the 1st March was in. So I'm expecting the MM to start in about 20minutes.

    Also those 72-48-24 promotions of the last days are hinting into that direction

    But as allways no way to be sure...

    Hey look a loft! *bam*

  • CypherFOXCypherFOX Posts: 3,401

    Greetings,

    Hot damn, that's a nice pantsuit!  Actually, the whole NY bundle is pretty sweet; I'll have to see what comes out tomorrow, since I'm not really interested in any of the non-bundle items today.  I could take apart the NY bundle, but I think I'd rather wait a day and have the whole thing...

    --  Morgan

     

  • CybersoxCybersox Posts: 9,277

    Yeah, the pantsuit really is nice, as is the men's suit.  That said, the the NY bundle as a whole seems a bit pricy... a shame that it has the Loft and poses included, as I think I've already got like 30 apartments in the runtime.

    Depends what you mean by morphs it has supported shapes and morphs that have it buttoned and unbuttoned, if you look at the promos it obviously has some movement morphs.

    Have you seen The Philoopher's new animated dust particles over in the Commercial section? Holey Moley! surpriseheart

    As for the 40% off new releases instead of 30%, no strings attached... that's not too shabby.

    It is ok for stuff that i really would like to have within the next 3 month (which is very little) but nothing to let me go crcy like i di last year.

    She was very quite on all channels the last half a year. I hope she is ok. Not only her products are superb also her forum posts were allways very enlightening.

    As well as everything we're expecting, there'll be lots of what we're not.

    I'm going to go out on a limb and 'predict' G4 and Studio 4.10 or possilby 5.0 - probably with some skimp-wear.

    Now I remember what I dreamt off during my long trip home in the train - that DAZ released Genesis 4 and that V8 was in the store. I remember feeling desperate about how now all the Genesis 3 line will get discontinued... What a nightmare.

    I suspect one major DAZ character bundle, probably Mika 7 (female) somewhere on a Thursday. The sales will start out badly, but slowly some stacking and bonus will appear. And then there will be a major Stonemason release buying which at 40% will give you some bonus on something. Like a gift card. Halfway the sale, for those who got dry.

    ..........I am a shoe in betting there will be nothing that will work in Carrara or even Poser straight out the box released!!!!
