    Three to Five days of: ... too much food ... too little sleep ... glitch(es) ... [and I will try not to mention the money situation after the PC+ sales] ... by the end of this, I suspect the inevitable outcome is having more stuff to render if I can stay awake.  I am not really this desparate for 'new' old shinys am I ?!?!?

    And finally, there's a genuine, normal-universe extra 20% off featured artists with a new release,
    and every new release is for G8, or lighting I don't need and poses I'd never use. Yech.

    Look, DAZ, I get it. You want us all to be assimilated, buying morphs and such that we already
    have for other generations, but I reject the cube. No G8 for me, thank you.

    40 minutes left.

    I'm seeing a load of G3 stuff on sale too. I do share the sentiments of not wanting to buy into G8 though.

    Still no update on the sale page for me, but Marvelous Designer 7 perpetual Steam licence is 35% off and I'm super tempted.

    Where is the load of G3 stuff? Do the "old" new releases count? Or is it just todays?

    Oh, woops. Somehow I completely misread and thought you meant things on sale. I don't really expect to see many new releases for G3 (though there have been more multiple generation items than I expected) since Daz's business model is turn over and buy everything again for the new generation. I'm choosing to take it positively in that it'll make all the G2-3 items I'm still missing much more likely to go on sale and I no longer have to buy new release items, except PC+ which tend to benefit older models more often.

    I would hope for some environments, props, or something useful.
    But this constant barrage of V8 exclusive stuff... No.

    All right, any new release triggers the discount! I added Somewhat Essential Iray Shaders to my cart, and got the discount.
    V4 gets 82% instead of 80%! Whoopeeeblargh....

    But that's empty, too, at the moment, so it's not much use.

    If you were referring to the freebies... :)

    So glad I wasted 4 hours of my life... Thanks, Daz...

    I hope you make it up to the people who were waiting and refreshing and checking over and over for four hours.

    This is the one currently in the page source, anyway. Not sure if this is the correct one. Maybe they linked a totally different category, and that's why we're not seeing any of the items. Although, this one is called "Thanksgiving Weekend Free Item Selection," so unless they made two categories for it, this should be the one.

    Chrome is beginning to show something, too. The category on the url is still empty, but at least the promo page is starting to come to life.

  • 3Diva3Diva Posts: 11,970

    I'm still not seeing a thing with Chrome. But Firefox shows me these five as the freebies:

    https://www.daz3d.com/harpoon-girl-outfit-textures

    https://www.daz3d.com/eisa-for-victoria-6

    https://www.daz3d.com/harpoon-girl-outfit-for-genesis-2-female-s

    https://www.daz3d.com/ivanna-for-genesis-2-female-s

    https://www.daz3d.com/riley

     

    Anyone seeing anything else?

     

  • drinformationdrinformation Posts: 123

    yeah looks like it's fixed now

    So.. there are free items (in theory, I don't see any) every four hours? Are people just meant to stay up for the next three days or something?

    Get them while, eh, if you can...

    Those are what I'm seeing, except for Harpoon Girl, which I have.

    And the textures do show up as free (EDIT: in my cart), so it seems to be working for this block of time now.

    I'm confused... I thought it was the page here ( https://www.daz3d.com/thanksgiving-all-weekend-freebies ) one should be looking at, and the items (v4. m4 and daz o's ) that were offered? If I follow the link above I only come to an empty page, but if I go on the rolling banner I see what is offered and such (unless I'm wrong ofc). Though admittingly, none of it shows as free, atleast not at this time.

     

    Edit - Never mind, apparently it wasn't the categories I was thinking that was the free offerrings... too bad, as foudn thisn interesting there lol

    So the question is, are they going to adjust the 4 hour interval now that things started late? Or can we assume its going to stick to 12, 4, 8 MST?

    You have to add it to the cart before it shows up as free.

    Try putting one in your cart: it should be free there.

  • AtiAti Posts: 9,182

    So it's going to be a very small selection of items that changes every 4 hours?

    I had items in the cart, of those I Thought were the offered ones.. except it wasn't those items that were offered, sicne I looked at the wrong categories... I had looked at the featured Daz Originals category etc. The actual selection didn't show to me until after I had posted my earlier comment :)

    Looks that way, unless the plan is to shift both the selections and number of choices every interval.

    Now this works, too. Here you can also see the ones you already have -- without having to log out or open an incognito window.

    Theoretically you could sleep for 7 hours and 55 minutes, then catch the last few minutes of one block, and the beginning of the next one. Of course, this needs to be timed well. :D

    Must be a Leonardo da Vinci sale - it's said that his sleeping pattern was 15 minutes of sleep every 4 hours.
