    Store's still settling, give it time. Yesterday it was well into hour two before the Blacksmith Bundle's page or anything else showed up, and that happened before the main sale page propagated to a lot of people.

    "When the store settles" is the new "DAZ soon." It always takes a while these days, more so during the month-long sales where they recycle the same landing page day after day.

    how is pillaging different to plundering?

  • Wait. The base figure is in this bundle too? That is odd....

  • Yeah, it's frustrating and we can't do much apart from hurry up and wait (and post in the sales thread if things are taking an egregiously long time).

    Hopefully the new store software will improve things whenever that's fully online. I live in the Midwest (USA) and pretty much don't expect to start seeing everything until an hour and a half past DAZ midnight at least. Later if things are really borked, earlier if I'm lucky. I'll load up a cart and then go to bed, by the time I wake up and have gotten going the prices will have settled into the proper discounts, usually. Then I wait a few more hours for any banners, flash sales, etc.

    It's $25.43 in the cart including the banner from yesterday, minus the $10 store credit for buying the first bundle, so it's a pretty easy decision.

    Wonder if we'll get credit for already owning it, if we bought yesterday's bundle. (LOL.) The balance of these multi-bundle releases is so weird, especially lately.

    I do really like Runa's counterpart, Gunnar! I also like that Sten's dirt elements are geoshells, but do not like that all of his facepaint, eyeliner, and tattoo options are pondorously slow LIE. His credits are also citing hair (Romeo) that's currently 404'd.

    I don't like either of the outfits. I thought I would but they both just look... I know different shaders would help, but I really prefer the ones I got for Freja. And the plunder is basically a (generally) lower quality collection of stuff I already have a ton of. That said, I'm a sucker for shiny things and some background items wouldn't go amiss.

    Honestly pretty disappointed in this bundle, the deal would have to be STELLAR for me to pick it up, and I used my loyalty coupon yesterday to boost a GC to 28% off since they keep not having good CG sales or ANY membership renewal stuff for current PC+ members. Gonna be a lot of cart juggling and cherrypicking today, I expect, especially if there's no additional thank you banner for those of us who purchased the Blacksmith Bundle (I never got one).

    It seems the way these new bundles are being marketed is that Daz has taken what used to be a new character probundle and split it into 2 smaller bundles which ends up costing the consumer more, approx 22.00 -25.00 for each small bundle with discounts, for what used to be one larger bundle with discounts came in  as low as 26.00 to 30.00 approx so in essence we are now paying double what we used to get a new Probundle for.

    Yup.

    Agreed, I was griping about this yesterday. I picked up Ashan 8's pro bundle back during the June PC+ event, spent $40 and got it, three solid add-ons, and a free G8 pro bundle to boot. Today, if I somehow got the same discount on this bundle that I did on yesterday's, I'd be spending at least $10 more, no add-ons, and getting way less stuff I want/need.

    Bundle nets 10% off the cart. Those who bought Blacksmith yesterday got $10 in store credit (promptly delivered this time, thank you DAZ), but if you waited then today you have to buy both Blacksmith and Plunder at the same time to get $10 off the cart.

    I'll wait and see if there are any banners later, a thank you for buying yesterday, and for the discounts to settle properly. Then do the math to see if buying the bundle is worth it or if the few things I want come in cheaper even without that 10% off stacked on. But for sure I will not be buying things until this evening. Too much chaos lately.

    Plundering is stealing the treasures from a house; pillaging is breaking all the furniture and burning the house so stealing versus vandalizing (sorry, Vandals).

  • ANY membership renewal stuff for current PC+ members.

    Actually that went live yesterday.. just doesn't seem to be advertised yet.

    I actually wished this was the case with that CJ 8 fantasy bundle a while back. I would've bought it, had it had her in it, since I didn't like anything in her original bundles. Same with Dain 8. But I can see why people wouldn't want something "redundant".

    Either way, workplace safety is important, so remember to plunder before setting fire to the house!

    *facepalm* That is...

    "We've done this thing you've all been asking for since this sale started, but aren't going to advertise it to you, oh yeah it's already started how could you not know??" seems like a really weird marketing strategy.

    (Not blaming you. Just. That is one weird way to go about it.)

  • I bought the Kjaer 8 Blacksmith bundle yesterday which, obviously, included the Kjaer 8 figure. If today I buy the Kjaer 8 Plunder bundle I'm buying several items, including the Kjaer 8 figure.  Will I have two Kjaer 8s?  If not, why not?  After all, I'm being sold two of them.

    Or are Daz selling me something they are unable to deliver?

    A daft question I know...

  • They'd better give two discounts to those of us who already own the Blacksmith Bundle. First, a discount specifically for owning by far the single most expensive component of the bundle. Second, a purple banner to say "thank you" for buying the Blacksmith Bundle.

    Also the second bundle is sitting really, really heavy in the cart at $42.40. Yesterday's PC+ banner is gone since DAZ never likes to say when (It got me an okay GC buy plus a whole mess of PFAD and Category stuff for around $1 per item, though), and I've received no thank you banner toward buying Part 2, because I bought Part 1. Let's just be real, that's what it is now. They've broken a pro bundle into two pieces, given each one a full pro bundle price tag, and so now we've gotta pay twice as much for one solid pro bundle's worth of content, and do a WHOLE LOT of shopping cart juggling to figure out how to make things work, whether it's worth it, etc.

    Without a doozy of a futher discount, the bundle is out. It's $18 cheaper to just pick up the parts I want.

    So, after getting stung yesterday on the price (thank you CS for a quick difference refund!), what is the Plunder Bundle price supposed to be? At the minute, I have it at 22.89, with a Kjaer banner at 20%, the loyalty banner at 25% and meeting all the sale discount criteria. I really can't do maths!

    Plunder - now you're talking my language, LOL

    Well that's about half what they want from me, LOL.

    I do not have a Kjaer banner, even though I bought the Blacksmith Bundle yesterday, and when I used my PC+ loyalty banner yesterday (hurrah for not advertising expiration dates) it was only 20%, not 25%.

    Feels like I'm getting screwed over and I have a feeling today's bundle is getting dumped in favor of picking the bits I want for much cheaper. Especially since they stuck Kjaer himself in both of 'em.

    LOL , yes .... mine, too.

    In my language (German) "Plunder" has two meanings: 1. a sort of pastries

    and 2. generally cheap, worthless, useless things, junk

    wink

    Pro bundles typically include 2 characters, 2 hairs, 4 outfits, 2-3 poses sets and sometimes a props set.

    With Kjaer the Viking bundle has 2 outfits, 1 character, 1 hair, 1 pose set, 1 environment, 1 props set and a shader pack. Plunder bundle has 2 more outfits, 1 hair, 2 characters, 1 pose set, 1 props set, and a 1 "props with poses".

    So yes, you need to buy the two bundles (and so pay more) to get all outfits, hairs and characters you would have got in a pro bundle, but you also get a bunch of items you wouldn't have had in a pro bundle.

    And you get more fun with poor QA with two bundles laugh. E.g. the Freja 8 bundle first was missing textures for the main character. The Ilias Hair from today's plunder bundle shows all materials, render settings and shaping options in lost and found, nicely mixed up so you can have some fun searching for the right option - or switch to the library view.... And if you expect the Viking Catapult to be in the "Props" SmartContent folder... well, serach again, it is also located in Lost and Found. </sarcasm>

    Especially with all the "Viking.." named things in it, which have absolutely no connection with historical facts about vikings.

    But at least Stend HD makes a good Viking (due to him looking like Travis Fimmel a lot...) wink

    And yes, for us germans quite a few english words have utterly different meanings when germanized. Which often leads to funny moments when surfing the shop.

    Also, you were able to get those extra items at a huge discount when buying the probundle which would also increase the discount off the probundle as well in the past

  • KharmaKharma Posts: 3,214

    is there no discount for those who bought the Kjaer bundle yesterday, as the plunder bundle includes the main figure which we have already bought? or is it included in today's bunlde in error and perhaps the HD addon was supposed to be in the bundle instead considering the hefty price of the Plunder bundle?
