    No Nefertiti for Twosret 8?

    I do like her, and like most of the bundle too... but in the same situation as Wendy right now lol Hopefully it's still there when I have some money to throw at daz, if not there is always later :)

    ... or mummified cats 

    Let's just hope for Cat 8 in the near future, then they can add a mummy outfit to it? (I'll grab any excuse to ask for a Cat 8 release)

    Oh dear - there is another offer with a coupon....but if you use the purple banner coupon, you can't use that one as you can only use one coupon at a time. That's a bummer

    Yeah, this is annoying. It helps with the bundle, but you don't get your 70% discount on the SELECT PHARAOH Items... bummer!

  • This looks awesome I'm getting everything.

    And the real question is, how do you say her name?

    /taw-sret/? /ta-wo-sret/? /too-sret/? /twoh-sret/? /twoss-ret/? /tee-wo-sret/? /too-suh-ret/?

    The first two are fairly easy for English speakers to say, and are consistent (maybe) with the alternate spellings given in Wikipedia. But how do DAZ want us to say it? Or do they just refer to her internally as "That Egyptian chick with the weird name"?

    I have a cat that I am seriously considering mummifying, if he doesn't get it through his tiny furry head that there is no such thing as 5AM breakfast.

    Ta-wo-sret, focus on the TA, speed up on 'sret' ;-) At least that's what we are going with right now. It changes every few decades or so.

    Thank you.

    Of course, the Egyptians would probably have written it 'TWSRT'. Or, more likely, 'bird-squiggle-crocodile-head-papyrus-plant-all-in-a-cartouche'. ;-)

    Whoever puts these bundles together needs to be fired. I'm serious. Recent offerings have made no sense. I'm interested in the Ancient Egyptian Creature Bundle but why the frik does it include two Gen 8 female products? All it does is "justify" charging more than what the bundle is actually worth. Next we're going to see a wedding bundle that includes a gown, veil, and rat poison props.

    Well it worked on me because I have no interest in any creatures but I wanted the the 2 characters. And adding the bundle to my cart brought everything down. So I heart

    I'll keep my fingers crossed for those looking for rat poison props.

  • The purple banner got me curious as to what I could work out, so I looked. I liked the character and there were enough things in the bundles that I liked, so I decided to build a cart and see what I would get. With the various discounts, I ended up grabbing a few of my "on the wishlist a long time" items and a gift card to take advantage of the "%s off the entire order" offerings.

    Not a very good likeness, but then they only had a profile pic to work with.

    The only resemblance to Elizabeth Taylor is in the make-up.

    Assuming you have the purple banner and a PC+ membership, and you want a big chunk of store credit:


    - Twosret 8 Pharaoh Living Bundle
    - Ancient Egyptian Creature Bundle
    - Twosret 8 HD Add-On
    - dForce Hemet-nisut Outfit Textures
    - Hemet-Nisut Hair Textures
    - $200 Gift Card

    = $200.20

    and you get a $20 credit tomorrow, so ~ $200 for the items plus $220 store credit.

    I don't find the bundles impressive enough to be tempted, but it might be worth it if you happen to really like them and you want to get ready for the PC+ sale (and are willing/able to spend that much of course).

    Having two items being for an Egyptian game, one for an animation I can’t use and more expressions make it a pass again for me. Wish there was a Mousso character and some other beautiful Egyptian characters included and the clothes were more revealing and sexy. I really don’t understand the Papyrus outfit with bell bottoms..? The makeup seems cool as do the hair and headdress items. I’ll probably cherry pick some of the items either now or when on better sale but there aren’t enough items in the bundle I actually want. It seems like the bundles have more fillers lately than useful items, The character is OK, seems like a teen Jane/Robyn/Ellithia/Aubrey/CJ type character and doesn’t really scream Egyptian to me. I really wish Mousso would ctreate these core characters...

    I agree, a Mousso character would have hit the spot.

    I didn't really notice the game when I was buying this, but I don't believe I'll get much use out of it.

    I picked this up because I lobbied Daz for an Egyptian or Middle Eastern bundle & here it is. I had HOPED for a Modern bundle, but I wasn't terribly specific.

    I appreciate animations (but haven't had time to see exactly what these are)

    Re: Papyrus outfit. C'mon, after a day of hauling giant stones, sculpting sphinxes, and avoiding curses, who wouldn't want to put on some bell bottoms & go to the discotheque and relax?
  • Nice looking bundles, not a fan of the coupon blocking.  So I'll have to think about this one...

    While I rarely purchase pro bundles, I love the Egyptian theme and the products. Might have to pick up some or finally get a pro bundle on release.

  • SevrinSevrin Posts: 6,310

    Well, nothing for me, but the Hekau masks are pretty neat, especially the golden one, and the Senet sets are nicely done, and the poses could be adapted to other types of games.

  • HorusRaHorusRa Posts: 1,664

    Wish the Characters, including Twosret herself, were more Egyptian.
    Some cool stuff, and some as others have said; just don't seem to fit.
    I'm cherry picking both bundles.

    I like the bundle. Wish Ramses had some eye makeup. Looks a bit... naked in the promos for an Egyptian Pharaoh The monsters are also great. 

     

    I also like thatTwosret has some really nice eyebrows. I don't like the tweezed look.

  • As usual, quite a mixture of reactions as what helps one person does not help another person. But just so it is said, I will add to the mix:

    1)  There are those of us who absolutely love getting animations

    2)  I might be in a small minority here, but the Senet game is a great find for me ... I collect mind game sets like chess and goh and have used them before. This will be a useful Item for me ... the question is, will I now learn to play the game?

  • Of course, what is Egyptian? Who were the Pharaohs? (Should Romans look like modern Italians?)

    The land has been conquered and re-conquered. What Egyptians are and who they were then? Especially the nobility. Are we talking Rameses? Ptolemy? Cleopatra?

    Also, aliens.

  • The theme is a hard pass for me. But that is just personal taste and needs.

    What is not personal is the pricing. This is again too expensive. Even more expensive than Sukai. This one should have gone for $140 base price at most.

    Then having conflicting coupons on the offer is not cool. And without adding a lot of other things, the extra 10% for 3 addons is too low; that one is missing a additional 20 or 30% discount on the bundle.
