No more new Freebies?

LoonyLoony Posts: 1,817

Hi... someone said the Freebies changes all 2 weeks, but the actual Freebies are there since Xmas... so around 20.12. or something.

Why do they not change, did DazStudio stopped the Freebies for 2020? :(

  • More likely, they're just a week behind on updating it. Worst case, the current free stuff might be there for two of the "two-week" sessions, instead of only one.

    Those updates may come late (it's happened a few times before, especially likely after radical sales like PC+ anniversary or Christmas), but - so far - they have always come.

     

    Pobody's Nerfect, and all that. wink

    Uncheck the 'hide items I own" box; it's likely you already have all the freebies for the week.

    The problem is not that people are seeing few/no items but that those items have been featured for 3 and a half weeks, not the usual 2 weeks. So something is going on.

  • I just logged in to comment on this. Deffinately something up. I have been watching very closely. Nothing has changed since Christmas.

    It's my fault.  They're holding out until I pick up the texture packs for outfits I don't own and have no intention of buying...

    Oh, I know that. I haven't seen any new items in over a month. I just meant that the freebies are really just a small number of items that are rotated in and out, so once you have those you won't see any new ones for a while.

  • General freebies or plat freebies?

    The gneral freebies, the ones on the banner on the main sales page, which still says they items change ever other week are the ones not being changed. PC freebies have bee changing as normal.

    Yes, I bought the freebies that I didn't have from this lot on December 23rd, and they haven't been changed since then.

  • GreeboGreebo Posts: 166

    The plat freebies from a couple of years back were at least download worthy.
    But the ones I' seen in the last few months just aren't worth the bandwidth.
    meh...

    @Grreebo: What? You don't need a new patrol bot every month? That's just crazy! 

  • I for one welcome our new patrol bot overlords.

  • TorquinoxTorquinox Posts: 4,432

    Maybe general freebies are going monthly? The timespan varies sometimes. Those are bonus, anyway. Whatever they are, they are.

    FastGrab is the same way. The front page says FastGrab updates daily, but I've seen the same items there for two or three weeks sometimes - sometimes with a few new items added, and sometimes not.

    Shhh!  You don't want to wake the store's zombie programmers from their lifeless slumber.  surprise.

    I've got to check my invoices, but I'm pretty sure the last update was at least 6 weeks ago.

    Fast grab does update daily, but they don't change all items.

    Maybe the next freebie will be a free texture for the patrol bot (!)

    I'm not in PC+ Club anymore but on 24 Dec 2019 I got the last 3 free Christmas Freebies that the PAs provide. 

    As far as the regular freebies that DAZ gives away, PC+ or not, I last got some ob 23 Dec 2019:

    Whole Lot of Piranhas        
    Michael 6 Starter Bundle        
    Tokyo Stroll Textures
  • SaphirewildSaphirewild Posts: 6,680

    Actually @nonesuch00 it was the 23rd of Dec when the freebies came out!

    Each week I have been going and checking for new freebies but nothing so far.

    I do hope tomorrow brings the new freebies!!!

    someone at least probably owns an item they have left to choose from for free textures ...

    It is well know to long time DAZ enthusiasts that DAZ 3D operates in a realm outside the concepts of the human interpretation of space-time... 
    "Daily"... "Weekly"... "Monthly"... and yes, the most obvious of all, "Soon" are all constructs of the limited understanding of mortal human minds.

    It is difficult, but one must first free their mind of the way one has been taught that time flows... or even exists... Only then can one embrace the understanding of "DAZ-Time"... and perhaps even understand the concept of "DAZ Soon".

    This is no simple task, no easy journey, it is an adventure that can only be undertaken by those possessed of the strongest wills and truest hearts... 

    One must clear their mind of all expectations and preconceptions and mentally abandon the confines of linear time progression, abandon the lie of a mere three dimensions of space and a singular existence... they must reach beyond their perceived interpretation of the universe as it seems and only then can one truly see the universe unfold before them, to be one one with the infinite realities and possibilities that flow around us all and completely understand the boundless web of realities that make up the multiverses.

    Many have tried... almost all have failed... but the few that have transcended the veil of this apparent existence will tell you that time and reality as most know it are meaningless in comparison to DAZ-Time.

    Do not hold on to these mortal interpretations of "Daily", "Weekly" or "Soon"... reach out into that space between yourself and the universe and merge with it... be one with all realities... and only then will you understand that you already have all there is from DAZ... the freebies, the coupons the discounts ... you always have... it was always a part of you and you a part of it.

    Of course don't start this journey in a parking spot next to a meter or you'll get towed away and wake up enlightened, but locked in an impound lot, and it's really expensive to get your car released... same with doing it on a bus or subway, because that usually ends up with you enlightened, but missing your pants in a cold, dark bus depot or subway yard.

    Or you can chose to ignore these verisimilitudes, these apparent transgressions of time and expectations and just go "Megh... whatever..."

    The choice is yours... you can choose the blue gummy bear and remain content if not a bit bothered, or you can take the red gummy bear and go down the rabbit hole and see the universe as it is.

    That was metaphorical... don't stick your head in rabbit holes, some rabbits are very touchy about that and you are likely to get your head stuck and the rabbit will panic and bite your nose and you'll look real stupid with your butt sticking up in the air and your hands flailing, and if it's a slow news day you'll end up on CNN with firemen digging you out and pulling an angry rabbit off your face and you'll be labeled for life as "rabbit-on-the-nose guy" or "rabbit-on-the-nose girl" and you'll only be able to get work in a carnival as a weirdo covered in angry rabbits.

    The choice is yours.

    I guess that's all...

    Carry on.

  • Guys, I do not know why you bother for freebies and Fast Grab?
    While in reality, the disturbing thing is that we already write the 19th day of January, and there is still no new Pro Bundle at the horizon!
    Normally, around the 20th or so, the second Pro bundle of the month would have been already published.

    Disturbing thing? Is this a serious complaint?

    Not at all! I am not complaining at all, just pointing out the obvious.
    Okay, I might fear that the next big thing will be G9, which I like to see postponed until 2021 or later.

    I suspect that the massive push of new base figures/starter/pro bundles we've received in the last few months came at the expense of new products that we would have otherwise seen this year.
