It seems a bit punitive to actually take away a token when you miss a day. I can't really afford to make a purchase every single day. So, without tokens it looks like I may miss much of this years Holiday Sale. At least I hope that there will be PA Christmas gifts that are really gifts and don't require a buyin.
It sounds like it's even worse, miss a day and start from zero again
Miss one day and you would be down to one punch, not zero - which is my current situation: I purchased friday and Sunday so I get one punch (which would also be the case if I had purchased on Sunday only).
a punch in the guts maybe lower?
I think that's where I stand. I spent roughly a zillion dollars during the token sales, but there was a sort of ebb-and-flow, during which I knew I could wait several days between carts. My triggers were either really cool gotta-have new things, or a sale offering spectacular deals on existing stuff I either already wanted or just didn't know yet that I wanted. I check the sales every day, but there's not something I need/want everyday.
Anyone else noticed that the price of old DAZ+ items has had a sneaky $1 or $2 added? All the $1.99 items now seem to be $2.99 (e.g. Adventurer for Genesis Male ) or even $3.99 (e.g. Buck)
According to DAZ Deals this seems to have happened on November 18th or 19th, depending on the product.
I don't have it but there is a 'SOF-1A Groin Straps for Genesis 3 & 8' setting in the list, so it's likely possible to hide them.
markusmatern did a render without them:

And don't forget Daz 30 days efund policy if a product is not satisfying:

The tokens worked on interactive licences and now the punch things don't :( It makes using characters from daz in games more expensive, and I've been trying to buy characters, and waiting for a good time to get the licenses. I'm kinda hoping interactive licenses sales are more aggressive without tokens - ie I think with tokens I could get max ~76%? off - I never saw an interactive sale that was better than 60%, except for single items.
I ws also thinking of building some tools to help import morphable characters and sell it on the asset store at some point.
Thank you so much for the reply
, so then they can be hidden? Love that. Just found a script to use G8 geoshells on G8.1 easier, so will buy this now, Thank you so much for the help w this! 
There was a mysterious case of several free items getting extra $1 or 50c added to their cost recently.... I wonder if some glitch in the matrix...
No wonder the sales felt underwhelming during the end of tokens weekend...
For example https://www.daz3d.com/anamnesis has gone from $1.99 on Friday to $3.99 on Saturday
So, are these alternative shapes going to be permanently included in the Pro Bundles? I suppose they are being offered for those who did not get them during the limited time offer upon release?
Too soon to say, because both Olympia's and Olivia's alternative shapes were already part of their respective Pro Bundles: it's just an opportunity to get them for people who didn't bought the Pro Bundles.
The first time limited alternative shapes were, I think, those from Mira and since then, every one of them were time limited: at the current rate, we still have Van Helsing and Julius alternative shapes to go and will see, on Friday, if Mira's shapes are unvaulted. I say if because they were, from memory, supposed to be 'Permanently vaulted' after 30 days, but they should be made available again, and ideally, the time limited idea should stop.
...Anamnesis was released in 2009, and looking at the price graph with the Daz Deals plugin it remained at it's originall price of 1.99$ for Platinum Club/Daz+ members. That was until this past Saturday when it went up to 3.99$, (a 2$ increase for a 14 year old product). Back then 1.99$ was the "flat price" for all PC/Daz+ items regardless of MSRP which remained the same over the years....until this past weekend.
In today's 50% off Daz+ Vehicle Sale I also noticed a similar thing happened. For some reason something didn't seem quite right as the sale prices did not come out to 50% of what I remember them to be For example I checked an item that I already "own" (Wooden Rowboats which I got as the weekly freebie during the last week of December 2022). After the freebie offer expired, they were assinged a Daz+ member price of 4.99$. On Saturday the Daz+ price increased to 5.99$ (before the 50% sale discount was applied). When I looked at the MSRP on the order invoice form 2022, the Rowboat's MSRP was listed as 16.95$. On Saturday the MSRP increased to 19.95$.
I can understand higher prices for current/new products but stuff that is a year old (or in the case of Anamnesis, 14 years old) is disappointing to say the least.
Thanks. I couldn't recall when those limited-time releases started, and I did not have the patience to look it up.
Had a closer look. Filtered the store for Daz+ items only, which gave me 32 pages at 120 items per page, sorted by newest to oldest.
After around page 15/16, when moving into pre-Genesis products, most of them are now $3.99 - That's stuff that I might have used to fill up a cart to some required sum, but at those prices...
In the Sales Problem thread, I just saw a post by Scorpio and apparently this increase is intentional: https://www.daz3d.com/forums/discussion/comment/8450906/#Comment_8450906
I WAS going to get more $2 V4/M4 clothing, since I love the RSSY gen4>G3 converter's results (which autofit well to G8, BTW). So much for that idea...
Rendo has plenty
yikes yikes yikes yikes
At the moment, just buying the cheapest items over $1, waiting for the real holiday offers.
Yeah and delaying that purchase to late hours as well, in cease of another buy-in deal popping up....
do those alternate shapes for a character, such as Olympia, work on other characters as well? or are they somehow locked to only work on one particular character.
one of the main reasons I let my DAZ+ expire. The only thing though, now everything to high too buy. My shopping here will be minimal.
Yes, you can use them on any G9. Will post an example.
Here is an example I whipped up from my latest "new stuff testing" character, who started off as a stock G9 with a custom head and body shape applied. (She apologizes for the texture shortcomings - this wasn't an adventure that she was planning on for this morning.
) To that, I added a bunch of the Olivia shapes for the MorphA and MorphB examples. The shapes are optimized to go with the character they are sold with, so there's no promises of how great they'll work with some other random character, and the higher the % you run them at, the weirder the outcome may be (eg, usually is), but you can use them on other characters. And they are different. MorphB-Olympia is the same "recipe" with the Olympia shapes as I used with the Olivia example, and it is distinctly different.
Original stock G9, with custom head shape:
With numerous Olivia shapes applied:
The latter, with the same "recipe" except using Olympia shapes:
I liked the Olivia shapes better on this particular not-Olivia/Olympia character than the Olympia shapes - mileage will vary with any other random character.
ETA: Just for reference, these are the settings used in this example. I was pleasantly surprised at high I could crank the Olivia morphs on this character and still get reasonable results - lots of times at 90-100% a character specific morph on some random other character might look really freaky.
Forgive me, I don't know where to post bugs. The punch card thing is new to me, I don't remember this from before, but either way it didn't count on my order yesterday so I'll just ignore it. But I went to the holiday deal page and it's just showing as this on Firefox...? Tried everything, but seems to work on Chrome.
Those are some lovely renders!
Very nice work! :)
Yikes. At least until it's resolved, better use Chrome.
Here's where to post bugs:
Thank you very much :) I am liking the selection of vehicles today. I picked up some historical up-dos yesterday, so today I'm picking up some lovely old-timey coaches to make some fun renders. Good selection today!
