..yeah pretty lacklustre selection today, The "Classic" artist's group was primarily dominated by 3 PA stores that comprised about 12 pages out of 20. 

However I did find a couple useful items in the "Buildings" sale. 

I was out for the day and evening on Monday (Daz "Zero Hour" is 23:00 where I am and I got home at around 22:20) while Tuesday's sale selections were rather "meh", so I totally missed out on double tokens this week. 

Yeah miss that 50% Gold Star discount on new and "still new" releases, About the only time I could afford to purchase any. 

Well one more sale event (the Spring/Summer Plati-...I mean...Daz+ sale before my annual membership expires for the last time, Apologies but 99 USD is a bit rich on my meagre income for pretty much the same benefits I've received since I started here. Particularly so as Daz+ items have become a lot more expensive than they used to be.

I think the orange banner went to the wrong subset of people... from some discussion on the sale thread, a lot of people who participated heavily weren't offered the banner, but I was, and I spent less than $20 over the course of the sale, and that was mostly lightning deals.

Yes; I spent severa hundred dollars and had a Gold Star every day during March Madness but I didn't get the orange banner.  

We simply don't have enough information to determine how they selected people: I do have the orange banner and I did spend a nice chunk of moneys during March Madness, keeping a Gold Star active almost all the way to the end (the only day I didn't have one was the last monday).

Yes; I spent several hundred dollars and had a Gold Star every day during March Madness but I didn't get the orange banner.  Not Happy !

Orange banner up. Not dropping anything into tempting range for me, but YMMV.

Not for  everyone. (or at least, not for me.

No orange banner for me either. 

It says it's for "participating in March Madness" - which is odd, because I got few lightning deals, but I wouldn't exactly call that participation.

And I participated a lot in March Madness (so much so that I had a Gold Star every day) but I didn't get any banner.  

Not sure who all else did/didn't get the banner, but maybe it went to the opposite list of who it was supposed to?

Running through the math, there are two possibilities that would result in the $1.26 price on $14.95 items. One is that they're missing one of the 30% discounts. The other is that they're hitting the $2 floor, and then one of the two 30% discounts (probably the tokens) and one of the two 10% discounts (probably the gold star) are applied to the $2 price.

Serious, No More Delays, Not Joking Around, Cross My Heart, For Real Final Last Day of March Madness. 

...on Friday, the way things are going. 

I remember when I used to be glad MM was over because I'd gone way over my budget and there were still amazing new items on sale each day.  Or when a new DAZ core figure was followed by a dedicated thread that ran for weeks?  

I'm okay with it ending Friday, if that means we can use the Gold Star to get one last character bundle at a really good price.  We didn't get one last week, so I'm hopeful we'll good one this week.

I've made dedicated core figure posts in recent times (with the exception of Chloe 9, underwhelming bundle).  I post some images with my assessment, and it goes on for a day or two before people simply seem to lose interest in the figure.

its pretty rare for me to get excited about a new character anymore. I have a ton of them, including bundles, but none seem to have the same excitement as in the past, even a new generation. I have a lot of gen9 through sales, but I could just as easily have stayed with 8 or even 3. I think Gen 10 will have to self-animate and talk or something, over even AI, where I can text and say , "a broad smile" and it will change the face to reflect that. "lie on the sofa" etc. expressions and poses...that might excite me, if it works.  
Well, I wait for DAZ customer service to answer my ticket, if they even bother. If not, I will fall into the largest money savings in a very long time.  I've already downloaded all my purchases that are still available in my library, as a backup.

Not counting the must use as they are useful or documentation also plants of my mom's that she gave me from her yard: multiple azaleas, rhododendron, mountaiin laurel, daffodil, Home Run roses, Fairy roses, Apple Blossom roses, Christmas roses, lentin roses, Yellow Roses of Texas, holly, blueberry, creeping phlox, iris, and spirea would be all of it. 

That sounds beautiful! I'll have to look some of those up- Apple Blossom roses and Home Run roses are new to me. 

Apple Blosom Roses are a 3' wide x 2' high carpet rose with white that turn deeper pink at the petals edges blossoms, but not much of a scent. Home Run Roses are like a thorny octapus, with 3' to 4' long arms eminating out of the center of the rose bush with single, not double, deep red flowers, but no deep rose smell either. The Home Run repeats better than the Apple Blossom rose. 

It is the Fairy Rose that is the star though, again no scent to speak of, it is a polyantha rose type if you want another variety that is similar but with a different color rose flower, it blooms and repeat blooms with light pink double rose flowers starting in mid-spring through fall/winter frost. In St John's County, Fl I'm not sure of the bloom schedule or how it handles that sand soil. I've never maintained mine but you can't kill them in a normal lawn. They are extremely thorny though and would be a good hedge as they are about 3' round and 3' high covered in thorns. Wear heavy canvas gloves, shirt, and pants when tending to them and don't lean in too close, use your arm reach, as they will grab a hold of you and better think of that hooking canvas, than your skin. You used to before the pandemic get them for a crazy $4 a bareroot plant, but now the prices are insane! I saw one listed for $100. They are easy to root from cuttings, all roses are. 

The advertised discount does not work for some sales

For instance, for an item initially at 85% off in the mad artist store, with two new release and a gold star (for daz+ member), with 8 tokens, the discount should be

85%+30%(with a still new)+10%(golden star)+10%(with two still new release)+30%(token)

That is a price of 0.15*0.7*0.9*0.9*0.7=0.0595=94%, but the actual discount in my cart is just 92% (and no, it is not related to the minimum price of $2 that is not reached by the item).

What is weird is that it works properly for other discounts. For an item initially at 60%, the final price should be

0.4*0.7*0.9*0.9*0.7=0.159 or 84% and it is what is displayed in the cart.

Either, I do not understand the discounts, or there is a problem.

EDIT: I did some extra tests and the problem only happens when the initial discount is 85% and the item sufficiently cheap. So it may be related to the minimal price of $2, but in a way that I do not understand and that seems very  odd. An item initially at $14.95 is finally priced $1.26, while an item at $22.95 ends at $1.37... WTF?

La generazione precedente andava da Victoria 1 a Victoria 4, poi con l'arrivo di Genesis c'è stata una doppia nomenclatura: Genesis e Victoria 5. Poi è arrivato Genesis2 e il nuovo sotto-nome Victoria 6.

Con la sventurata nascita di Genesis3 è poi giunto il nome Victoria 7... A quel punto, vista la confusione che due o tre utenti hanno percecipto, hanno deciso ti tagliare la testa al toro e chiamare la generazione successiva solo Genesis8 e poi Genesis9.

poi, se mi sbalio mi corigerete.

 

Ma quindi, per esempio, una Victoria 7 sta a Genesis 8 come ci starebbe una G3? Cioè qualcosa di antecedente ma comunque compatibile, oppure è proprio un personaggio a sé con outfit suoi, morph suoi, ecc.?

Un tempo (fino al 4) Victoria e Michael erano figure a parte (come anche i vari David, Star, Aiko, ecc..).
Poi la DAZ creò i Genesis 1. Siccome però la gente era ancora affezionata alle vecchie figure, la DAZ creò delle versioni nuove di quelle figure (Michael 5 e Victoria 5) che però erano morph e texture per Genesis 1 (in modo che così la gente passasse a Genesis 1 ma rimanesse familiare coi nomi Victoria e Michael).
Con l'uscita di Genesis 2 ripeterono la cosa (Michael 6 e Victoria 6) vendendo nuovamente i morph visto che ormai i nomi erano famosi.
La cosa è ormai una consuetudine e anche oggi coi Genesis 9 abbiamo Michael e Victoria 9 che sono dei morph con texture.

THis current MM is about to say bye bye. I have to say, most of my WL items are at 60% off and most have been this entire sale.. That's way unusual for such a long time, but right now, I have no membership, no tokens, and 10% off a cart isn;t helping much of anything, especially when you have to buy 2 new still items to get it, plus I have no goden star. Wonder if that will go away after today or continue on? 

I imagine today is the last day for it, with something else maybe starting tomorrow.  Considering we haven't gotten anything new lately and we also get double tokens on a Tuesday, it would be a decent time to encourage some spending.

Here's hoping today is the Absolute, Super Serious, No More Delays, Not Joking Around, Cross My Heart, For Real Final Last Day of March Madness.

For some reason before I was about to check out a half hour before Daz midnight, I lost my gold star and all prices in my cart increased drastically with one item going from like $4.00 to $35 so I emptied my cart and put in a gift card for $1.05 just in case I'd need another gold star and sure enough, the sale was extended another day. I guess this sale is doing well for Daz although I've spent a small fraction of what I usually do during March Madness mostly because the deals for Daz+ were very mediocre unless you had 8 tokens, and even then, no better than many of the regular sales. 
 

There must be a lot of Premier members who are newbies buying because I could see how that extra 10% off, plus extra tokens and choices of a lot of great older content (that long time members already own) could make it a worthwhile sale for Premier newbies while pretty much screwing over existing Daz+ members. My Daz+ membership ends in about a week and it will be the first time I'm letting my membership lapse. I may get premiere for a month at time during the Premier and PA sales, but this will be the first time in my long history at Daz I won't have a yearly membership. Daz+ is so devalued and now overpriced and there's no way I'm paying $20 a month or $200 yearly,!

Wow, for some reason my cart just doubled in price and my gold star status disappeared a half hour before Daz midnight! I was adding a couple of things to the cart, then suddenly all the prices went way up! This was going to be my last hurrah before I lose my membership but now I'm just emptying the cart.

I had forgotten to buy earlier, so just got in under the wire. My goldstar applied. Might have been a glitch.

The 25% discount on DO wishlist items doesn't seem to work - at least not when you have Premier Gold Star. Then there is only the Gold Star discount of 20%.The 50% on Still Mad items also do not work. See screenshot.

Is that your entire cart?

Yes. It contains a Still New item as required.

It looks as if yesterday's Newly mad items were missed from the still new category. This is being looked at right now, so please try again in a few minutes.

Thank you, but so far nothing has changed...

EDIT: The problem was solved; I just took another Still New item.

An extra 25% off* Daz Original Wishlist Items With any Still Mad Release is bugged. 

Example: 

https://www.daz3d.com/xi-world-war-2-weapons The full price is $19.99, and I see $9.79. I have a gold star and DAZ plus so that's -10%  and instead of -30%, it should be -50%, DAZ product so -30%  $19,99*0,7*0,5*0,9=$6.29 That's ok so far.

But I have wishlisted that product, so the -25% is missing..... 

The wishlisted Still Mad Daz originals are not getting the extra 25% off. <= !!!
