    So I spent $323.02 last month and that’s not enough to get the coupon??? I think I’m going to just return it all. 

    well if was about "expending last month" then for me it was like that too and don't get any too.

    I think it was something like for May 25-30, BUT I have an outstanding ticket regarding this. Someone mentioned that DAZ may not have recognized spending if it was via store credit, and I had been using up store credit that week. Ati mentioned spending $500 that week via store credit and didn't get the coupon either. I feel like it has to be the store credit thing messing things up, because I can't imagine spending $500/week without it qualifying for a coupon meant to award people who spend a lot!

    I think this one is my favorite character in the set. This is Xeno for Elios. Very nice body shape. https://www.daz3d.com/forums/discussion/331461/new-dude-elios-8/p5

    Here's elios 8 himself. I'm not a huge fan of his really arched brows. He's got nice skin.

    Cormac for Elios 8. Nice body shape, and great facial details, including custom beard and brows.

    I think I really like the Elios body shape. Still not a fan of the brows, but, I do like Elios a great deal. Great character.

    And the thing about the Alt Style Outfit is that all the items (other than the customary Daz Original outfit two-right-feet shoes---really, look at them!) are well-modeled and fit like real men's clothes fit real men. Obviously a joelegecko favourite, Alt Style was a Nikisatez/Mely3D collaboration that deserves a remix!

    Heh, I'm no joelgecko, but I've also found that that outfit is a gift that keeps on giving.

    Good one, @JoeQuick. I sure do miss you & your new creations.

    Thanks for all the cool renders, @SereneNight. I think the arched eyebrows are a nod to Jason Momoa.

    I really think Hinkypunk did an amazing job on her characters. This is Orrin HD. Well worth getting the character, because of the extra hair add-ons included including scalp hair!  He's a bit taller than the others, so I had to move the camera back some. He's got an excellent muscular build.

    And here's Ercole. I think that rounds off the list of Elios 8 figures....

    I'm also on the fence on getting this character. Maybe it's because there's so much of a focus on fantasy with his bundles. I prefer rendering scenes that are more contempory or scifi. Honestly, I don't think I'm going to get it.

    so in reality, the cash had been spent and received by DAZ prior to the time period qualifying for the coupon.

    Whether the exclusion was intentional or not, I guess we'll find out. But not before Monday...

    I'm just happy this was not Gianni 8. I would had been dissapointed (even though he looks like an 20 year older version of Gianni 6 and a bit like Christian 8). But I'm glad there are people who like this character.

    ....Still, given that I own every single other DAZ G8 base figure, I'd hoped I'd get something better than an extra "30 bucks" worth of free products for Elios.  Of course, it just backfires on DAZ in this case as it just makes me more unlikely to buy him until I can get a better deal.  (How's them apples, DAZ Marketing department? :))

     

    Well, let's see- I didn't get any offers, and have almost every single one of the Pro Bundles, @SereneNight didn't get it either, and she buys a heckuva lot too- and many others have mentioned not getting any banners or codes who also buy a lot. So them "not gonna buy ANYTHING" apples multiplied. Marketing is very poor here, as there's no consistency whatsoever.

    You know, I'm beginning to wonder if its a marketing issue or a communications issue. I typically buy all the pro bundles, but I didn't get a banner this time. As I was trying to max it out, though, I realized I'd gone over the $40 stated on the Elios page and still wasn't being charged. After a bit of playing around, I still got the expected $70 worth of freebies. It may be that the banner is generated by the discount instead of the other way around and that for whatever reason the code for the discount is getting put in place but failing to generate the banner. Is there anyone able to duplicate?

    Oddly, I just got the 20 percent off coupon. It just popped up right now, telling me I could get 20 percent off starting tomorrow. It wasn't there before, and has stipulationss it isn't usable on a gift card, of for items I've bought already.

    Since I only buy male content mostly, not having it before the release of a major male figure is a disappointment.

    ok i've finally got my 20% discount over victoria but now the "price" of the new character bugged and his discount for "4+ stuffs is not being applied, yeah!!!, need to wait it get normal now.

     

    also would be good to get the famous "$70" bucket free stuff which others got now  =/

    If prices are acting up around DAZ midnight, give it an hour or so to settle down. There banner is still up, so the 4 items should still be working later in today if it's not applying right now.

    yeah i know it's just a annoying bug, another one is which many times the new stuffs "come free" or bugged and you can't know the right price with discount until it got fixed later too, they really need to fix that discount system with that weird bugs.

    Cormac for Elios 8. Nice body shape, head looks a bit base male for my taste.

    Serene Night, I think the head looks base male because Cormac’s head isn’t dialled in? This isn’t what the character should look like. If you have Elios 8 and he’s loading this way please let me know in case there’s a problem.

    I don't think the banner is at all related to the amount you spent last month, or more recently. I have only spent 20-30 or so in the last month, and I still got the banner. However I did not get the 20% off Victoria birthday banner, which I would have much preferred compared to the one I did get, despite the fact I own all the Victorias.

    You have to consider the banners as pot luck, nice when the arrive, annoying when they don't, but a lot are likely to be connected to marketing strategies, or just random samples, then any prior activity or purchases.

    well I apparently can get $70 of stuff with Elios but testing only get $40

    cannot afford anyway

    I did buy 3 months of PC+ though with the 10% off

  • Patrick TynerPatrick Tyner Posts: 640
    I think the coupon equation being so varied is frustrating, and the lacking sales always seem to fall on the men characters. It's like self fulfilling prophecy "people are going to buy fewer male characters, crappier sales bonuses...lower sales totals.....see less male characters sold".

    Cormac chillin with his dog and Zeno reading the Elios forums. I wanted to do some quick renders showing how useful these guys are in modern everyday pictures. Elios is nice, but I like his two add on figures that came in his bundle best. I didn't get the other two add ons, they're nice but too similar to other figures I already picked up.

    Hopefully more renders coming soon.

    My sincere apologies. Here is Cormac as he really should look. I am not sure why the head did not apply. I will amend the previous post.
