    If you mean Premier, then yes, I am.  That said, the prices I listed were from when the QG first posted... a few hours later the displayed prices apparently dropped down to normal QG pricing, so it was a store issue of some kind.  I hadn't gone back to check or put anything in the cart because I already owned just about all of it... this week out of 81 items, I own all but 6... and those six were either priced higher than they normally are in normal sale, or the sort where my interest is minimal, like old expression packs, texture sets that do nothing that couldn't be done by using a shader or just altering the difuse colors, yet another weird goth make-up pack...

    It's seems to be a normal QG changeover thing. When it updates on UTC midnight, the prices are "whatever" on the QG page, but they are already correct QG prices in the cart if you want to check them for any reason. Then, the prices on the actual page update at Daz midnight.
    A bit of inconvenience, perhaps, but if it ensures that QG changes over reliably every week without us having to pester the mods mid-Monday, I personally don't mind it.

    I'm just basic plat member but yeah if you were looking before the prices adjusted yeah explains a lot especially when we went through a stage where the prices didn't adjust for a long time. The latest batch I picked was still showing full prices but were correct in cart which doesn't always happen and like you and many others when that happened for a long period of time lat time was also wondering if they were ending it plus it happened to the regular outlet section too I do spend a bit in QC even buying stuff don't really have interest for but at some of those prices I think at that price I'm sure I'll find a use

    24-ish hours to get any Quick Grabs you fancy.

  • 3DSaga3DSaga Posts: 927

    These reminders are always helpful! I get lost in rendering (or setting them up) and completely forget about QG until I check  this thread. Just bought the last QG items for this week. 

  • SilverGirlSilverGirl Posts: 3,940

    Okay, this week I have my butt together and know what day it is!! (sort of, mostly)

    Reminder to:

    •  grab your QG's before midnight UTC (roughly 7 PM eastern daylight in the US)
    • don't freak out if it's not right AT midnight, as it seems like things usually change at around 15-past
    • don't freak out if the prices seem high; usually they're right in cart initially, and the store catches up with it at normal Daz changeover

    Also might want to start considering what Outlets you'll be sad if you miss, as we only have a week(ish) before the first of the month and presumed changeover for OS.

    You're better than I am this week. 

    But I did check out with my QG... it was only waiting since Friday xD

    That's a good a reminder too, though I'd hold off until tomorrow, in case PA sale starts early and anyone needs cheap buy-in (I think they usually have some sort of ticket item, door buster, or something, but no one knows how and when it's going to be set up this year).

    PW Productions products are often really impressive in terms of what's included and filling specific market niches.  I've had this one for a while and it's very eyecatching, if rather bizarrely set up logistically, with the the placement of some of the rooms making little sense in regard to their workflow and form vs. function.   

  • FrankTheTankFrankTheTank Posts: 1,624

    The PW sets are always huge, but when I look up close at them I never see the kind of detail or quality I am looking for. So I always pass on them no matter how cheap. I could see it being fun to import these into Unreal or Unity or something and doing animations with them though.

    Good morning, fabulous folx!

    Here's your weekly reminder to:

    •  grab your QG's before midnight UTC (roughly 7 PM eastern daylight in the US)
    • don't freak out if changeover doesn't happen right at UTC midnight, as it seems like things usually change at around 15-past
    • don't freak out if the prices seem high; usually they're right in cart initially, and the store catches up with it at normal Daz changeover

    Also a reminder that presumed changeover for OS is rocketing up on us, with tomorrow (Monday) as the last day of the month, and likely changing over at UTC midnight that day. Also double token day! So, if you have a bunch of OS you've been holding off on, might want to keep holding till Monday.

    QG has changed over & prices are correct in cart.

    Daz: LOL nope.

    What I have found interesting is Post Apocalyptic Buildings 2 (https://www.daz3d.com/post-apocalyptic-buildings-2) shows as .99 in OS but it jumps to $5.39 in my cart.  I don't know if any other items behave this way. Maybe it's because the change is going to happen soon.

    @3DSaga I confirm your finding and agree with your conclusion. I expected UTC midnight was the end.

    They started resetting the prices early on the old Outlet items on the last day a few months ago. I'd learned about that the hard way as well...

    Post-changeover:

    Clicking the OS link, then checking WL only:

    Many items that were OS last month are now showing at higher price, but still showing up in the selection

    I'm not seeing anything new from my WL that rotated in... but that might just be me?

    Anyone else notice the same? Anyone notice new OS items that they know weren't there last month? I don't want to report in the other thread if it's not actually a problem...

    Historically, I thought the outlet change over sometimes didn't happen until Daz TZ Noon.

    Ope! I take it back (sort of)! Seeing a bunch of new stuff now if I look via my WL... they're not showing up by checking the WL box in the OS.

    It's possible to see the new ones using the Extra Shop Filters by @Utiltarian, at least if your browser is compatible with it, because it can filter the whole store by price: to see only the $0,99 item, type '99-99', to see both the $0.99 and $1.99 items, type '99-99,199-199', etc.

    Hopefully OS pricing will become more consistent today. I'm seeing quite a few inconsistencies, including not calculating Premier membership pricing. Some items no longer part of the OS pricing should be deleted from the category.

    I'm still only seeing last month's stuff in the OS, and the pricing suggests they were circled out of it. In the wishlist, as mentioned in the post above, I have a bunch of what looks like new OS items judging by the prices.
    Like you, I'm hoping it'll get sorted by Daz midday.

  • richardandtracyrichardandtracy Posts: 8,133

    I've noticed some wishlist items have gone into the outlet, some out and some stayed. The 'In's are still full price, the 'Out's are full price and only the 'Stays' show Outlet pricing.

    Regards,

    Richard

    Heaven forbid the same problems from last month's changeover are recurring!

    To be fair, it's easy to be taken by surprise by the first day of the month, as it only happens twelve times per year. At most, you get 31 days to plan ahead.

    I don't know what the OS is doing but I went shopping in the main store. I shut off hose items I own and set price 0 to $1. I got 1253 items. 91 were free, one was 45 cents and the rest all 99 cents. I'm guessing you can find the OS items that way or check your wishlist for items at OS/QG price points.

  • SemicharmSemicharm Posts: 415

    At least they got the prices updated by the first this time. I sorted by price on the main store page. That gets all of the OS items up to $2.99.  The rest of them get lost among the other sale items. The OS prices will show up in wishlist too. The actual OS list seems have the same issue again. Hopefully it won't take as long to fix it.
