I have a gold star (purchased every day of the sale), have input the coupon code, but every selection from Mad Door Prizes carts as $2.99 rather than the stated $1.99. It was working last night.

Same here. 

It's working for me.

Thanks. They fixed it.

Trying to understand the new math here, 

I add Match Point Tennis Poses and Props for Genesis 9 and Genesis 8 - a $24.99 item currently 60% off to the  cart; I have a Gold Star; so $24.99 * .6 = $14.99 leaves $10; $10 * .3 = $3.00, result is $7.00 in the cart. I then add any newly mad release, which should give me an additional 50% off the artist store item. $7.00 * .5 = $3.50; final price is $3.50. But it shows $2.45 in the cart. There's an additional 30% discount coming from somewhere (no, I have NOT used the PICK-N-GRAB code). Final result is actually 90% off original price.

The newly mad item shows a 51% discount - which is correct; the initial 30% and my Gold Star 30%.

The newly mad category states that you get "an extra 30% off with a golden star". and golden stars are supposed to give you 30% off your cart.

Which means that with a golden star, you should have on newly mad items: 30% (standard new discount) + 30% (golden star for newly mad) + 30% (golden star on cart)= ~65% off

Yet, you only get 51% on newly mad assets (probably 30% new + one of the 30% golden star discounts)

I do not know if this is correct (in which case the wording on newly mad category should be clarified) or if this is incorrect and should be fixed.

 

I've sent an inquiry. 

We don't have an oficial response, but I think this is just reiterating the basic 30% off the cart - like the on-sit ("whatever colour banner") messages they sometimes send that just repeat the offer from the promo page.

...well have yet to catch a Shooting Star as every one so far has been a G9 character.

Though cool to see RawArt's store featured along with the Pick-N-Grab coupon.

Today's Shooting Star https://www.daz3d.com/garrett-for-genesis-9 has a cut and paste error, I think. The character's name is Garrett, but the bottom of his product information reads:

What's Included and Features

• Garrett for Genesis 9: (.DUF)
  • Darius Character Preset
  • Darius Shaping Body Apply
  • Dominic Shaping Head Apply
  • Darius Shaping Proportions Apply
  • Darius Shaping Proportions Remove
  • Darius Shaping Remove
• Material Options:
  • Darius All MAT
  • Darius Eyes
  • Darius Skin MAT

I suspect none of the "Darius" mentions should be there. 

For that matter, this image in his promos https://gcdn.daz3d.com/p/114581/i/garrettforgenesis902daz3d.jpg has an entirely different error: the bottom says "Nathaniel with Daz Genesis 9 Base Material 01". He's definitely not Nathaniel.

 

thanks, I'll alert them.

And if there will be a discount on gift cards with no purchase required?

I suppose you don't have a star: today's offer is a 15% discount on Gift card as long as you have a star.

Genuine question, @daveso -- I get that your're feeling disillusioned, but is there a particular point to disparaging what the rest of us here are (presumably) still finding fun (to one extent or another)? If you feel the need to move on, that's understandable -- interests come and go. And there can be an emotional process involved in letting stuff go. But it kinda feels like you're pooping in everyone else's cornflakes.

I gotcha, why don't I blow off. i apologize. You all Enjoy your time here. Yeah, I have some emotional connection to this site, why I don't know, other than my beginnings in 3DCG, over 25 years ago,  but it is gone now.   I shall say no more. 

So I get both of these comments. Sometimes I rant too. Say things because I could use a better filter. Say things because it's honestly how I feel. I sort of felt day one was blah. I ha

Edit HA! DAZ knew my thoughts  and cut me off lol! So . . .  to continue I spent $130.54 5 days before and $100.01 4 days prior. Yet no star for me. I guess I should have not spent those dollars and spent 1.99 on those dyays and the next day and the next and whippie I would get a star for saving $224.00 dollars in 5 days! But. we get over it and we lick our wounds and sulk in a corner for awhile and come out to play again. It's simply disappointment. And feeling disappointed is okay. We all have those moments where we say something inappropriate be it from too much wine or too much stress or because our pets are dying, and these personal burdens sometimes make things seem worst than they are. But often those thoughts do stem from a truth.  

So I simply bought 1 item from my wishlist, for $2+ bucks and I even figured out a formula LOL Buy, buy, don't buy, buy, buy, don't buy, buy. buy. don't buy. But if something yanks my chain I will buy on a no buy day. If nothing interests me I will do the formula because I know (for me)  March Madness will be a roller coaster worth riding and when I do buy, I want the biggest discount I can get. Why, if not happy, renew Premier for March Madness? I simply paid DAZ+ 8.99.  The thing is I never look back and say why. And I suspect that is why others are saying move on. If you have to look back and say why that is a clear indicator that something is over and these move-on comments are a simple helpful truth, But if you can look at the why and say because . . . , AND that because makes you smile, even if that because is not happening yet, that is an indicator that it is a good thing and moving on may be a bad thing.  So the real question is why? And in there lies the answer to what one should do.

+1 .....We are all here for different reasons, I am always playing around rendering, tinkering or doing something with one thing or another, I don't post most of my art, textures, 3D models and stuff over here on DAZ.. I think folks are here too, as collectors.  I appreciate the hard work that artists put into their work... I could also appreciate taking a break and/or needing to rant and vent.. happens to all of us at one time or another..

I bought all of today's new poses (including the cat set), the bar (because I can always use retro Western settings) and the hair items from Saturday, when I didn't have any stars built up yet. The new items were around 73% off with a gold star, 8 tokens and buying more than two Newly Mads. I threw in a few "Mad Artist store" items, which were 90% off.

I think buy-buy-skip should work to keep a gold star:

1. skp-buy-buy
2. buy-buy-skp
3. buy-skp-buy
4. skp-buy-buy

well my FOMO did pay off

bought 4 DAZ+ things I wanted with the $6 off $18 coupon yesterday

amd my subsequent gold star let me by Stoney"s gates for $7 with STILL-SIMPLE

I cannot afford to buy something everyday though

so unless there a single day deals occasionally 

I won't be accumulating starts

To keep just a Silver Star you can just buy every other day - unless something catches your eye. Which is all I can do til next week, when I have a better budget.

Every other day would flip between gold (buy-skp-buy) and silver (skip-buy-skip). Buy-skip-skip would keep silver, but it would rely on there being something on the third day that you wanted (and might well be more expensive with only the silver discounts and moving to Still new if there was something you wanted on one of the skip days).

If you're someone who likes to shop MightyMite's store, today is your day! 

....*sigh*, noticed that.   Sunday it seemed a contest between Mighty Mite's comic book items and Wolfie's "Touchable" hair textures.  At least there was a Stonemason set on sale that I picked up for under 10 USD.

and today, I can get Stonemason's latest for 7 USD.

vrba79 said:

My order today was cheaper WITHOUT the coupon code. Made that make sense, lol.

...as to the "Simple-G8" coupon I noticed that too,  If you have a Gold Star a good number of the items are below 5 USD already.

mermaid - thank you. Very nice render with this object by Fencecepost (I don't have it).

Hansmar - thank you. Very nicely done alpine scene, looks very peaceful.

ed3D - thank you. This tool seems to work like a vacuum cleaner.

The Cube City is from Deep Space HDRI 1. It is surrounded by a sphere with a volumetric material as atmosphere. Ambient light and background by the DS-Sky04 HDRI from Deep Space HDRI 2. The star cluster left and the galaxy at right as well as the fine stars are from the Space Construction Kit and some reddish light by the sun. An alien city as cube in the far away space.

And  how  did  you  make  this  "Cube "  ?? 

And  the  Metro DataVac  is  very  well  made  &  very  strong 

+  Thanx
