    Well i have good things and bad things to say.

    Let's start for the bad:

    Isn't Ashan too similar to Valentino? Sorry, i have to point that. Cool character, but i find him too similar.

    Fantasy, more and more fantasy. This WHOLE Sale month has been pure fantasy like things on DO big releases: Daisy, Angharad, 2 Fantasy mini bundles, and this also fantasy like. I know i know, it sells. But please give it a rest. Sci fi only gets bits here and there never the big bad ass promos. It may not sell as much but provide the proper incentives and will sell decently at least. We will get at most one extra big release during the sale before prices go up and my hope for sci-fi (or at least something useful) are really low. Less realeases i get but no giving same benefits to other themes is simply not fair.

    The Good: The offer. It's actually really decent, better than Angharad for sure. I was going to buy when i read about that all 6 extra Pro bundles were free and no need to choose 1 generation. But since i started writing that seems it was another glitch, then i will pass again. The offer is still decent, but since i don't actually need anything from Ahsan, not enough extras to sweeten the deal.

    PS: I usually don't mind glitches and i hate exploiting. But two big in two days. Instead of come often for the flash sales, now is a come often for glitch exploits.

    I bought the pro bundle and at least 3 add ons, then I just added one G8 bundle.  Does this mean I lost out on 2 G3 and 3 G2 Pro bundles simply because Daz can't write?  Jeeez...

    no you intepreted it correctly.  And the offer is now working correctly

    whats correct ..the 6 pro bundles or only 1, 2, or 3 depending on which genereration you choose?

    i'm really getting upset with daz with all the glitches. its often unfair. the store is crashing all the time. pricing changes at will. this one here is going to seal the deal for me. i have enough stuff already to last me two lifetimes. why buy more. Just like E-on software changing up their sales on Vue to subscriptio

    Pretty sure correct is 1, 2 or 3 depending on generation. That's how it was supposed to be, but a lot of us poke the machine to see how it responds. FWIW, I lollygagged, too. Such is life!

    Yeah, I read the offer as it was intended, but tested the waters anyway, and checked out when I saw that it was working with all 6 bundles.

    Ah I see. I had one bundle from each category by generation in my cart and now the deal is one only. Lame to make changes while I'm in the process of purchasing.

    This was going to be my first pro bundle in 3 years just for that deal.  Guess that's not happening now :)  

  • lana_lasslana_lass Posts: 520

    Oh no!! I literally did not realise that this was another glitch and thought the cart I'd put through was what everyone was going to receive  :( Please know I wasn't trying to "brag", I was just excited about what I thought was and would remain the deal for all :( I feel so bad.

    One thing I notice with this character is the promos are all distorted in the face. I wish people who make promos would learn to use the camera. The figure's face is hugely distorted in a lot of these... Especially the expression set. It is is frightful

    It seems to be the result of using the default camera, which from what I've seen appears to mimic a wide angle lens. I do portraits at 70mm (or more for really close-ups), which is about right to prevent distortion. Anything less, even 50mm, and you will end up with "big nose" on close-ups.

    I'll say this. Giving away multiple Pro Bundles past with the purchase of new pro bundles keeps me buying. I am nothing if not a completist. My cart value was just under a grand of stuff for $34.95.

    If it was worth a grand, you'd pay a grand for it, and you wouldn't. :)

    ... unless of course you really would.

    If a deal is too good to believe: Don't lollygag. Cart it and CHECKOUT!

    Oh yes, that's usually the case, but someone kept pestering me at this end, and I HAD to deal with the situation.

    Kicking myself

    What is the price of the Pro Bundle supposed to be?  I have it plus 3 add ons plus 1 free G8 bundle in my cart and the Ashar Pro Bundle is showing at 57.81 , I also have the purple banner for extra 20% discount.  

  • LeticiaLeticia Posts: 126

    What just happened?  I had Ashan 8 in my cart and was picking through to see if I wanted anything on the stockin-up coupon, and his price (after discounts in cart) jumped from mid 20s to 50 something.  Now I look at him and I don't see the PC+ or intro discount or anything.

     

    Well, he WAS a good deal...  (But this seriously can't be right.)

  • tsaristtsarist Posts: 1,618

    This was going to be my first pro bundle in 3 years just for that deal.  Guess that's not happening now :)  

    This was the 1st deal in a LOOONG time that made sense. Daz used to offer 2 or 3 old bundles when you bought a new one, so that made it worthwhile.

    Lately the deals have been rubbish.

    $10 off this category of items that are mostly priced $7 or more, $15 off these $12 items, etc

    So you end up going into pocket to get more than one item OR you leave money on the table.

    Worst of all you have to sift through 50 pages of stuff you really don't WANT to find ONE item you don't mind owning, nothing you actually WANT!

    I'm more than annoyed right now!

    Don't feel bad. No way you could know! And no worries! Obviously excited, it was exciting! You were sharing the fun. angel

    It's broken! They must be rethinking the deal.

     Choose the bundles you wanted, put in a CS ticket. They can put them into your Product Library.

    Yes, when I saw him I thought 'Oh, there's another Valentino!' But then I found him even more irresistible than Valentino... So he went into my cart, together with Ytar... laugh

    I initially thought that too. But I did a side by side comparison, and the only thing similar is they are brown-skinned (and not the same shade of brown either). But some of these expressions make all characters look alike.
