Any word on the discount problem in the Celebrated Artists category? It's past midnight where I live, and I gotta work tomorrow ...
...if it were 8% I should be getting a discount of 56%
That would have made the 10$ a day min mum purchase more worth it.
I guess it's the proofreader in me that saw the error immediately.
I have a discount of 6%, but it is only giving me 2%. It did not work at all over the last few days.
I have a theory what might be happening, and that concerns the 10$ minimum needed to get the 2%. Like a lot of these kind of conditions, it is never made clear if the 10 dollars means before, or after discount. I have seen sales where it means after, and others where it means before. In the last few days I have made a few orders, but only 1 was over 10 dollars after discounts. So what I think is happening is that people are seeing their discount grow when the purchase is 10 dollars before all discounts (this will almost always be true, as few products have a post discount base price of less than 10 dollars). However the actual discount the store is giving them is only counting orders that exceed 10 dollars after discount, so four 1.99 clearance items would not have qualified.
This fits in with what I am experiencing myself. I have made 3 orders in the last 7 days, but only one was over 10 after discounts. Hence the reason I am seeing a 6% stack up, but only seeing 2% in the cart.
Yep, that certainly sounds like Daz math. lol
..still trying to figure out Daz Math after learning, advanced algebra, pre calculus, calculus, and even abstract matrix algebra. I was a math ace in high school and college. and this still stymies me.
It's... um... not much of a Mystery Box if you're told beforehand what's inside the Mystery Box...
But you can't see what the items look like.
Boy, the whole "Featured Artist Store Section Sale" is all but thought through properly
1) Apparently the Generations-discount is depending on the "compatible products" section of a product. That rules out the Gen8-discount for even quite old Gen8-products like pose packs with SKUs 6xxxx. And that makes that older Gen8-stuff rather unattractive.
2) Super-old products not connected to any generation get no Gen-discount at all. Like "Penfold the Penguin". Not that I want this buddy but this is also true for older vehicles, environments and so on.
3) The discounts are still not properly applied.
I still get only 62% off for the most recent products in the selection whereas it should be at least 65/66% (60%+14% streaking).
I think eve 2022 morphs is this one
https://www.artstation.com/artwork/d0gXlQ
Hmm, I would not spend $30 only knowing I will get 10 products with one from xtrart-3d and one from Allesandro_AM. Knowing that a Mousso lady is involved plus that Morph from daveyabbo changes things and I am strongly considering to get it. Especially as most discounts on older stuff tend to still not work properly.
I like Mousso too, the problem is that most of his models look VERY MUCH alike. I already have a few, and with the 200+ head and body morphs product I am covered for almost anythink I would need in my renders. xtrart-3d products are good also but no need to buy right at release, since they will get cheaper soon after. The eve morphs however is something i was looking for, for a long time. Not sure i would spend 30$ for that one though...
What blocks me is the fact that the items will be added Sep 5th. The demigod bonus item should have been added on Sep 1st, and in my case it did not. I am not keen on creating yet another support ticket...
"Massive savings on 10 never-before-seen Items"
"Cannot be used to discount items already owned."
If they are never-before-seen items, how could I already own them? :)
there's a clinical term for this : "the copy-paste syndrom" :)
I did get this one, no point waiting for a better sale at this price, it won't happen, and at least half the items there seem like I'd want them. The only annoying bit is that I couldn't use the + coupon.
A great example of "shoot first, think never". As sad as it is, it's a feat of most larger companies nowadays.
It's ptobably going to be available for purchase until then, hence the delay.
I see people saying the featured artists sale isn’t working as expected as some items don’t get the listed discount, but we aren't being given examples, so it would be hit or miss to find which products are the culprits.
Could someone post a list of the products required to complete the Demigod's series, Antheia isn't yet in my library and I am wondering if I missed some ...
Heard that there was a delay. You might need to wait until the end of the day or tomorrow.
I filed a support ticket yesterday and got almost immediate response (kudos, fastest response I ever got from DAZ support). The answer was that Antheia was not yet released, and that I should come back if I don't have her in my library by today - which I still not have. So, whatever happened on DAZ side, I hope they will sort that out soon.
Actually all of them. I'll start with the very first two:
1. Aurora Fae and Human for G8.1F
2. Cool Girl Shape, Poses, and Expressions for G8F G8.1F
I have both in cart for 62% off.
But for those two the correct discounts would be 1) 60% off for 2+ and then in my case 2) 14% off for a full streaking bar.
62% in total is clearly not correct, it should be rather 65%/66% however it is rounded.
Same goes for all other additional discounts (for Gen8 down to V4). Differences are not as big but always 2-3 Percentage-Points.
Mystery Grab Bag stays at $29.95 in the cart, regardless of other discounts (new release discounts, stacking discounts,...)
However, the fine print does not say it will not stack with other discounts.
Guess it won't be further discounted as it is advertised for $29.95 and already getting a higher discount. But it does trigger the 50% instead of 40% if in cart with another new/still new release.
Ajax Outfit for Genesis 8.1 Males
The Mount Olympus
Demigod Outfit for Genesis 8 and 8.1 Male
dForce Ares War Outfit for Genesis 8 and 8.1 Male
Manticore HD for Genesis 8.1 Male
dForce CH Greek Mythological Armor for Genesis 8 and 8.1 Males
The requirement for Antheia is to have purchased those seven items before Aug. 31 23:59 MDT.
As others have said, distribution of Antheia has been delayed. It's probably for the best that Daz take the time to do it right, rather than give it to only half of the qualifying customers, or release it to the store by mistake, or do something else incredibly dumb.
Thank you, I guess I'll just have to be patient then
I think the problem is difficult to fix as the sale relies on the asset status in the store DB and the discounts applies to something that has the proper compatible figure "genesis 3", "victoria 4", etc
But for an asset that has no compatible figure, no discount is applied. For instance an environment or a prop. See for instance https://www.daz3d.com/sun-temple which has no specific discount. It is somehow compatible with the sale wording (it is not a V4/M4 or genesis asset) but it is weird to see a 15 years old asset getting no additional discount.
More problematic is the fact that no outfit texture asset has any kind of discount. They are associated with an asset not a figure and very old addons are most of the time not even associated with their original asset in the store DB. For instance this asset is not specifically discounted https://www.daz3d.com/army-general-uniform-expansion while it is a texture for a M4 outfit, which is weird.
Maybe they should determine additional discounts with the age of the asset not its compatible figure.
I quess I don't understand the FEATURED ARTIST PA promo .. it says:
50% OFF¥ Featured Artist Stores
Get 60% OFF¥* when you buy any 2+
EXTRA 15% OFF¥*‡ Genesis 8 Items
EXTRA 20% OFF¥* Genesis 3 Items
EXTRA 30% OFF¥* Genesis 2 Items
EXTRA 45% OFF¥* Genesis, Michael 4, and Victoria 4 Items
All I get, no matter what generation, is 60% off. Well, for whatever its 62% off. Oh, that's my extra for buying yesterday ... So what is classified as Genesis 8, for example? I have Feng Adelia in my cart, I do not get another discount added to her. I've tried other G8 characters as well and get no additional discounts.
After putting a variety of things in the cart I see a pattern. A Genesis 8 and 8.1 character is not considered a Genesis 8 character for the extra 15%, it is 8.1. For the extra 15%, Genesis 8 items means characters. Clothes and poses don't qualify.
They could be more explicit in their explanation.
They have corrected the small print and excluded Genesis 8.1. But the streak discount is still not properly applied:
Each product should give 60% (once 2+ in cart). That is working. But my streak discount is 14% which makes the 60% a 65,6%, not a 62% as I get. And that applies for all products. The Generation-discount is applied but the proper streaking discount is not.
