    Back on the subject of the PA sale... well, it's 3:30 and the broken sales are STILL partially broken, as a number of items are still in promotional categories that cancel out each other's promotions.  It's like playing whack a mole.

     

    I must have gotten lucky - the issues with my cart were resolved when the Featured Special Items were fixed. What's still broken?

    Not sure about the promos related to today's debut releases, but a whole bunch of Featured Artist items still aren't discounted correctly. So, if you got an additional percentage off those you'd still end up overpaying because the discounts are broken and DAZ clearly has no interest in fixing the problem. I reported it twice and neither report was even acknowledged.

    They straight up don't care whether things work anymore, it seems.

    Ah, okay. My selections were G3-era bundles which had the advertised 52% discount to start, but I didn't look through much of the list since I had them in mind beforehand.

    I think most things are correct, but there're also a bunch of Featured Artist items that are suuuuper messed up. G3 at 40% off (instead of 52%), G2 at 40% or 52% off (instead of 58%), and Genesis/Mil4 at 40%, 52%, or 58% off (instead of 67%).

    They don't look like they're part of other categories that would be causing problems, either. They're just messed up and DAZ doesn't seem to think that fixing them is something that needs doing. Not fulfilling advertised promises in a timely manner or at all, plus a sales so broken that it would be laughable if we weren't getting screwed over constantly, seem to be the themes of this sale, though.

    The best two days of the sale for me were when the power went out in Utah.

    Harsh lol.

     

    For me, it's been the least exciting sale all the time I've been here.

    There have been some nice items, but no 'must-haves'.

    No, I meant that literally. Those were the two days that they had massive flash sales because they didn't load new items. So, I got big discounts on PA items, which is what I expect a PA sale to give me.

    I guessed you meant it to be so, and yeh I agree, the time I've spent looking has been mostly a waste of time.

    ... Shame really as it is usually interesting to look.

    Any flash deals incoming, or this 48h finale is static?

    Only Daz knows, and they won't tell.

    Maybe the sale will go out with a bang.  Maybe it will go gently into that good night.  Either way, the PC+ sale will be coming soon enough.

  • akmerlowakmerlow Posts: 1,124

    PC+ has some deals for non-PC as well, or focused on PC always? Hmm

     

  • This is the first sale in a long time where I keep hoping it will be over. This sale has been the biggest bust in a long time. I bought a 200$ gift card before the sale started in the hope of good deals and items, I still have over half of it left.

    There are deals for everyone, but better deals for members.

    Jep. Those where the days when I could not buy stuff because they massively overcharged my order right before and it took 4 days to get the store credit back (which of course had ~25% discount built it, so I couldnt go without it).

    PC+ sale definitely has deals for non-members too. Members will usually have extra deals on some offers and/or exclusive offers in addition to those.

    Thanks to (insert Your deity of choice) that it will be done soon (tm) wink

    I got quite a good deals during this sale, but most weren't not really connected with the PA sale (or at least I saw them so).

    Speaking of "offers". There are years when i got those pop-up windows from the top each several months, but also there is an year when it never occurs to me. So random...

    And last time i got "coupon" in mail, it was already over when i got $ to my card. harsh times haha

     

    Anyway, its such a dilemma of "spend all now or wait". With sales, i mean.

    Given that the entire store is currently on sale I would be surprised if there were any flash sales before Monday, but then DAZ does often surprise us.

    Last few months they stayed away from weekend flash sales. There is only one(?) flash sale day on a workday with the covid I think. 

    But I dare DAZ to surprise me with a good final PA sale day... cheeky

    It would be nice, but they've shown themselves to be singularly unimaginative for the entire duration of the "PA" Sale run, so the odds are that tomorrow's ad will be the same as today's which is the same as yesterday's.  Hopefully, the PC+ sale will at least be more interesting, though I own so much of the D.O. stuff at this point that I doubt there'll be much for me.

    I'm always in for the new releases. I've an extensive library after more than 10 years in this hobby, but having a better version of something, or a different-same comes in handy if you don't want your scene full of identical repeats.

    And Protozon's new formal suit would give even Uzilite a run for its money. There hve been a handful of other gems as well.

  • There's a typo in the sales banner - it was supposed to read:

    "Absolute final weekend! Look here, missy - we're not fooling around! This is it! We really mean it this time, guys! Last chance! For real!"

    I haven't seen much "popular demand" for that. Besides Jack is sounding like the PC+ Anniversery sale is going to start soon.

    I was being a bit facetious, hence the quotation marks.  winkI agree, we are all ready for a change. PC+, with the $1.99 items, was fun. I hope it will be as good this year, and not disappoint. Jack says they have been working hard on it. I didn't buy any of the bundles or ancient BYOB items for the last couple years, but I still found interesting things among the new releases and $1.99 items.

    Yeah, I don't know how different the group that makes up the PC+ sale is from the normal sale jockeys, but the PC+ sale was definitely the highlight of the year last year.  Looking forward for this mess to be over and that sale to start.

    PC+ starts Monday

    A very, very quiet one.

    Someone was obviously being self-depricating with that. It made me chuckle. The most enticing sales page throughout the Sale this year I feel.

    Hoping the next one is as good as usual. Then again, it tends to cost me if it is. We'll see how it goes. I've still close to $400 in credit; it's Daz's fault I'm not buying, and nothing else. I've not even bought a gift card this year, and I have never missed before this year of buying them when over 20 or 20 with no buy-in conditions. I don't get out of bed for less than 20 regardless of buy-in or not.

    I'll admit that I'm going to be hoping very seriously that not *too* much of the stuff that we've been picking over all month in this sale isn't going to turn up again the the PC+ for the day offerings. I think there will be a lot of unhappy people if it does.

    But then, they change the rules every year, so it's a toss-up as to whether there will even be PC+ for the day offerings. Regardless of how opular they've been in the past.
