    2. 20% OFF the Plunder Bundle

    ...

    ... . The second is the automatic discount for today's Kjaer 8 Plunder bundle.

    So only some people who bought the Blacksmith Bundle yesterday get a discount on the Plunder Bundle today. Surely it should be everyone participating in this ridiculous new "buy two less-than-pro bundles at pro bundle prices to get all the content" scheme?

    I've dumped the bundle and will pick up two individual items instead. At least there are good PFAD buys today. DAZ, this is not how you encourage people to buy bundles. Especially with a considerably more expensive new format, extra especially not if we end up having to pay for the exact same character twice.

    As far as I know the 20% off the plunder bundle has much the same range as the 20% off the blacksmith bundle yesterday, having bought some number of previous bundles. The offer for people who had bought the blacksmith bundle was different from the offer for those who hadn't, but again I think they went to much the same group.

    Don't know if this will help or add to the madness, but I bought the bundle yesterday after the extra 20% coupon came out late in the day, and used it for that purchase...not knowing if it would still be available today, of course.  And I received the 20% off the plunder bundle coupon today.   I don't think that makes up for such a large portion of this bundle being the overlap of the Kjaer character.  JMHO.

    I just gave up trying to figure out which coupons I should have had. Hopefully got most of them. Life has been crazy and can't stop to keep reading the forums to make sure I got the correct offer.

The offer for people who had bought the blacksmith bundle was different from the offer for those who hadn't, but again I think they went to much the same group.

    I'm just tired of this. Here are things I've seen people use on Plunder:

    PC+ Loyalty,

    PC+ Loyalty + Bundle Collector,

    PC+ Loyalty + 20% automatic discount on Plunder for buying Blacksmith yesterday, and 

    A 20% discount that could be either loyalty, the Kjaer-2020 replacement for the loyalty, bundle collector, or the automatic discount for buying blacksmith + an additional 25% (which is was what people who had gotten screwed yesterday due to the loyalty coupon drop were talking about having gotten by way of apology).

    Meanwhile I got the PC+ coupon (and ONLY that) and used it, yesterday because again no indication of expiry, but never received this supposed automatic "thanks for buying Blacksmith!" discount on Plunder. And DAZ is so wildly bad with their ability or willingness to communicate what's on offer, who qualifies for what, how long it lasts, etc. that even if I got exactly what the insane backroom DAZ math says I should, it leaves an incredibly bad taste in my mouth.

    Buyers of previous day one bundles have all gotten a discount on the day two bundle, just as a thanks. Not as an apology for a poorly timed coupon drop, though sometimes people will get an extra coupon if that happens, just something across the board to make swallowing the second high price tag a little easier (you could get an entire pro bundle without being forced to pay TWICE for the most expensive component for $30 during the last PC+ event). This time that was not the case, for no apparent reason. And there's no direct-from-DAZ clarity about why people are getting which discounts, which there needs to be. This sale alone practically needs a flow chart to guide you through your situation.

    Hopefully it's understandable why I'm upset now. I have nothing against people who got jerked around with coupon times getting compensated for that, I do have everything against what used to be a universal discount for Bundle 1 of 2 buyers not being evenly applied, especially on a bundle where owners of the first are given NO reimbursement for having to purchase the most expensive component twice. (Again, store credit has been traditionally used as incentive, not repayment. I've gotten credit just for buying a bundle where no repurchasing was involved. Owned content being part of a bundle usually gets met with a commensurate discount.)

    I'm tired, I'm frustrated, and I just want to go a day in these sales without having stuff like this happen. I certainly have no inclination to buy bundles going forward unless I have to have absolutely every last thing in them. The company's handling of this whole release has bordered on farcical. Tomorrow is another day and another sale, but I'm infinitely less excited about all of it than I was this morning.

    I picked up the PFAD stuff that was too good to pass up and that was all... or all I bought from this site, I spent the money at Rendo instead. Point is that it's DAZ's own convoluted, chaotic application of... everything that lead to them losing quite a bit more from me today, and many other days as well.

    I'm happy to not buy anything in response to this kind of nonsense, but that doesn't mean I'm happy to just let said nonsense go entirely unnoted. It's too stupid.

    Like I said, though. Tomorrow is another sale, I'm sure it will bring its own disasters. Bundles are pretty well off the table for me now after all this, it's not worth getting jerked around and the new format is awful. There's always another sale, but the awful ones do tend to linger.

    In the meantime I'm going for some much-needed sleep, and DAZ will do whatever DAZ does. C'est la DAZ.

    That was close!! Just went to check out and everything in the cart just jumped hugely in price! I take it the store is being given a kick, as the prices go weird when that happens.

    I haven't bought anything during this sale at all. The fact that you never seem to know whether or not you are getting the correct discount and the whole mess the store is for several hours just puts me right off.

    @jakiblue, They're showing on the sales page and the main shop page for me, now: FG Beach House and dForce NM Outfit for Genesis 8 Females.

  • jakibluejakiblue Posts: 7,281

    yep saw them :) Was hoping for another PC product :)

  • WonderlandWonderland Posts: 7,133

    Be careful if you own this bundle: https://www.daz3d.com/cookie-critters because all the individual items are in the $1.99 for a day sale but don’t show as being owned if you have the bundle. 

  • WonderlandWonderland Posts: 7,133

    Why isn’t this https://www.daz3d.com/spaceship-interiors-hdri on sale when all the other non-new products by this PA are? 

     

  • Those lovely renders of Kjaer under the text and product thumbnails on the PC+sales page make it hard to read.

  • WonderlandWonderland Posts: 7,133

    Well, I have to admit, despite all the glitches and headaches, the prices have been really great. Just checked out 48 items for $72 and none of them were BYOB. Mostly PA PC+ for a day with a few category sale items. 91% off my whole cart and quite a few were on my wishlist. The most expensive thing in my cart was $2.35. These PC+ for a day items are breaking me but when else will they be close to $1.50 each?  I think I’d have to live to be 120 years old to render everything I own lol.  

  • Why isn’t this https://www.daz3d.com/spaceship-interiors-hdri on sale when all the other non-new products by this PA are? 

     

    Only just lost its New status, it was I think still new when the category was built. I'll email about it but there's no promise that every non-new item from the store will be included, just that those which are new generally will be excluded.

    OK thanks. Already checked out for the day, but hopefully it’ll go on sale at some point in the PC sale.

    Also, you will have to wait at least four hours for the glass to settle to know what percentage was spilled!

    And to make up for the rudeness of my last beer spilling post, there are a LOT of excellent PFAD items today, so thank you DAZ

    @ Wonderland - thanks a lot about your cookie-critters info.

    Why would the texture set for this be in PC+ for a day, but not the required base product? I was going to jump on it, but I'm so not spending full price on the dress - https://www.daz3d.com/dforce-open-shoulder-dress-textures

    Yeah...that was close... I almost re-purchased all of them. >_< Instead I went through and hid each item via the Daz-Deals extension...which should help me keep things straight. I do wish these older items had more metadata. Would be most helpful. :)

    That happens a lot.  I bought those textures.  The outfit itself goes on sale often and the Shox textures are pretty nice.

    You pick up the textures when they're discounted, and the outfit later. Smart shopping.  Put the outfit in your wishlist :)
