The Pro Bundle looks good but why is there an old outfit included? Purchased that outfit a long time ago!

    You beat me to it.  I bought that outfit back in November.

    which one? probably updated version in some way. Actually like a lot of the outfits in the promos that aren't in the sale they would've been good in her bundle, probably from elsewhere or kit bashed older stuff

    Vernea Fae Outfit for Genesis 8 Female(s)

    Edit: I didn't mean to shout, I just copied and pasted the name from my library.

    Edit 2: It might be an error anyway, that outfit doesn't appear on the banner page, only on the contents page if you click on the Pro pack.  (Does that make sense?)

    aah ok well going through it doesn't look like that outfit is included but that and several others not included are heavily used in the promos makes it look like they are. The steam punk vehicles from Ansiko are unique especially the steam buggy kinda amusing, steam punk is pretty popular know that don't think they've been catered for here for awhile except for some trains and aircraft

    As I said, it's probably a mistake, but just to prove Rod Wise Driggo and myself are not going mad:

    wow what a reall bad deal, it only have 3 outfits and 1 one of then is a "old one", which means she only have 2 new outfits and the supposed fourth outfit was replaced by gun props, i would prefer if it was replaced by one of the 2 poses sets, really a bad deal and pro bundle this one.

    The hairs look pretty good, but the rest doesn't seem that interesting to me. There are 3 pose packs, if I'm seeing this right. And I already own Vernea Fae. Including old content in a new Pro bundle leaves a bad taste in my mouth. I'll wait and see if they change that or offer compensation to owners.

    Too tired right now to look at it carefully but I know I’ll get her, (assuming the in cart deal is decent,) she’s closer to the type of characters I use than most DO core characters  but honestly, I don’t see anything here that Mousso couldn’t do better. I really don’t understand the discrepancy in prices between top PA characters and Daz core characters...

    The motorcycle looks kinda inefficient. I would much prefer a more 'Steam Punk' machine, like the real 1869 'Roper steam velocipede' shown here:

    (article here:  https://www.popularmechanics.com/cars/motorcycles/a26052/1860s-vintage-motorcycle/ ) Imagine having the smoke stack belching fiery exhaust & cinders between your coat tails. Would be an exciting ride...

    Western theme is good, and I'm glad it included a Sci Fi outfit. I didn't have Vernae Fae, so that's all good for me. Got my purple banner, and the price was about what I expected.

    I have so many dForce outfits I'm not going to use, I'd rather have props like the Western guns.

    I'm 2x thinking that Holt 8 is a Western-themed dude after Honni 8.

  • xyer0xyer0 Posts: 6,062

    Pro Bundle, HD (not very hi-def though), outfit textures, & Steam Hover with the coupon code and $30 credit tomorrow nets at less than $29. That's the best price on a Pro Bundle since they virtually gave away Tween Ryan 7.

    She's pretty. Had they rounded her bottom more, she could be a Frazetta girl.

  • Matt_CastleMatt_Castle Posts: 2,676

    Little bit disappointed to not see a Winchester 1893/1897-alike amongst the various guns (I'm still hoping to find a good model of an early pump action from a store I don't consider morally corrupt) but I think I'll be grabbing her once I've worked out a cart.

  • The Blurst of TimesThe Blurst of Times Posts: 2,410

    Ugh. So she's in Lost and Found. Why can't the metadata just work? SMH.

    Emmeline is in the proper areas.

    Banner? Wonder if that is glitchy, I see no banner and I normally get one...

    The question for me is whether Honni (w/HD), Emmeline, Vernea Fae Outfit, and Raven Mocker are worth $32-$36 or not ($62 to $66 minus the $30 credit).

    Z Prairie Life Poses and Expressions is nice, of course, but not especially motivating in regards to making the purchase. Same with Western Guns.

    The new outfits and vehicles fail to impress, and dForce hairs look bad in general (imo). I like "weird west" themes and some steampunk (Spirit of Punk for example), but this group of products isn't doing much for me.

    My third add-on (for the discount) would probably be Morelia - with better scales, a flat chest, and fangs, she might be a pretty good naga.

    On the fence on this one.

    I got 20% off for owning too many Genesis 8 pro bundles (LOL).

    We all know that the banners have been kind of glitchy lately, though.

    I'm definitely curious what made Daz look at this character and think it screamed Western.

    Not that it matters. A character should never be judged by the marketing decision of what other products it comes bundled with.

  • markgoode77markgoode77 Posts: 343

    This is a definite miss for me.  Not because I think it's a particularly bad deal, it probably isn't.  But:

    According to a post by Cris Palomino in the sales thread, Vernea Fae is part of the Pro bundle.  I already own that.

    3 pretty white female characters?  I've got hundreds. Emmeline looks interesting, but not interesting enough.

    3 pose sets that, with the greatest respect to those that made them, don't look very good.

    2 outfits, one of which I might use (the sci-fi one).

    2 hair sets

    A set of guns which I shall buy.

  • wizwiz Posts: 1,100

    This is one of those pro bundles that leaves me cold.

    • Including an outfit that I have owned for 8 months (that puts it in the "boycott" list).
    • The Sci-Fi Rebel Outfit looks too much like too many others.
    • The characters don't strike me as anything special.
    • Too many pose packs. Maybe some people like them, but to me they are "filler".

    I may buy the guns, the Ezra hair, and the Missi Judge outfit separately.

    This is a definite hit for me. With 3 add-ons, and the 20% purple banner, the pro bundle is at $37. And that doesn't factor in the $30 store credit tomorrow, nor the discounted gift card I'm using. And this genre is exactly what I've been hoping we would be seeing more of around here. The buggy is especially fun.

    Yeah, I have bought a shload of pro bundles recently and no banner. So hopefully it is just a glitch...

  • EllessarrEllessarr Posts: 1,395

    i didin't proper noticed it have 3 "poses" omg, it make it even worse, for me, loosing a outfit in favor of a pose, really srry but is really a "no for me".

    I can only get the pro down to $46.29 with three add ons - but the three cheapest add ons there, I would only take one of them. Absolutely no use for an expression pack, and I'm not a fan of that cowgirl outfit. 

    Normally, the three add ons would be texture sets for the three included outfits...but this bundle? Wow. I got the purple banner for 20% off but seriously, this bundle is leaving me cold. Love the gun pack....and Honni herself looks good...but that's it.  

    edit: oh wait, I forgot to put the banner discount on the pro bundle....so yeah, that would bring it down.

    Also, everything in your cart is discounted by 20%.  I've been waiting to pull the trigger on some of the recent sales, so that sweetens the pie even further.

    Yeah, you're right.  I've changed my mind, this bundle works out cheap.  The three items I was considering buying were the guns, Ezra hair and Emmeline - total price $38.65.

    The pro bundle with the HD add-on plus a couple of throwaway extras, when the $30 store credit is counted, costs $26.21.  A no-brainer.

    I'm in the 'wait and see' camp as well.  Compared to a number of previous pro bundle deals (including the one that just happened) yeah not as good of a deal.  While the $30 in store credit is more flexible than the assigned categories in recent pro bundle sales, yeah it's less than half of the value we've seen in past sales. 

    And don't get me started on 'back in the day' when you could get 3-4 other pro bundles for buying the pro bundle that was being premiered in the sale.  Sure, I'm about 'pro-bundled' out at this point so those sales would be about worthless to me ATM, unless they included G8 bundles, but I did regard those sales as good values, particularly with the stacking discounts that were also in play for those past sales.

    The purple banner for those of us that buy Pro Bundles like popcorn isn't enough to make me budge.  The bundle looks nice enough, but not something I need immediately, so I can wait for it to be part of some bundle sale in the future.  TBH, a 'buy this pro bundle (with 20% coupon), get another pro bundle for free would probably get me slightly more excited than a mere $30 in store credit, as I have passed on several G8 bundle deals lately.  But with the 'forced buy-ins' to maximize discounts now targetting 4 additional items routinely, and with what I often regard as 'meh' choices (textures for example), yeah underwhelmed.

    I may change that calculus depending on what pops up in the next couple of sales, but for now I'll just look at the pretty pictures and say 'that's nice...'.

    Besides, the annual PC+ sale is just around the corner, so I don't mind pinching my Daz pennies for a bit while we all wait on that sale.

    I'm concerned about her skin: It looks like it might be kinda flat, like Penny's, Jenni's, or (gasp) Robyn's.

    I'd rather not condone old products or multiple pose packs in Pro Bundles, but at less than $29 for the lot (which is actually less than $22 since I got 25% off a gift card) I'll have to take advantage of it, especially since I can throw in new items I wanted at 44% off (which is actually 58% off in "real" money).

  • i53570ki53570k Posts: 212

    What hair is used in those promo pics of Honni 8?  I cannot find it in the bundle and there is no reference to it in the product page.

  • mwokeemwokee Posts: 1,275
    Great character but the bundle is a horrible deal. It should be priced at $9.99. I already own the one outfit. Three of the products are poses, they should be combined into a single product. I really like the outfits shown in the promos but they are not in the bundle. The two other outfits I don't own are not very interesting. It's very misleading to use promo images with products not in the bundle. Break it down and it's just not worth it.

    The Amity character looks great.

    If somebody could do a comparison head shot of Amity with and without Honni dialed in, it would be much appreciated.
