I assume this is a bug that they will fix, but jesus fucking christ they are so bad at this.
Some updates from the Daz forums ~24 hours later:

1. This months' coupons are still present, you just have to manually expand the section labelled "Monthly Coupons".

2. A fix was suggested for the base problem but it doesn't actually work.

Genesis 9 is DAZ's Win 11.
They're trying to force it on us, but we're sticking with the reliable and versatile Gen 8 and even Gen 3.

The interesting fact is that this discount stacks for some assets (but not all) (mostly in the "related madness" sale).
Sort by % to see them all
And as there is an unusually cheap new item, it is easy to get an extra 30% off
I just purchased 20+ assets with a 90-95% discount.

In fact, this time there are interesting discounts on G8 figures, but at the bottom, in the "Related Madness" section.
Yes, that may be true; however, I was not illustrating a 'Good Deal', just their incompetence ...

[EDIT] I notice Cressida is available today ... [/EDIT]

... and Today's laugh ...

Neither the the "Gold Star" cart discount is being applied nor is the "Gold Star" 50% discount being applied to "Newly Mad Releases", although it seems the latter is being applied to "Still Mad" items.

I've not checked the other deals ... also ... the good news ... is in today's "Mad Artists" sale with some IMHO good fantasy gear spanning generations from G1 to G9...

CAUTION: Today's DAZ Fuck-up Faux Pas:

The appears to be misconfigured; it purports to contain 3 new products:
You will note that the later is not the new (G9 - SKU: 108451 released: 2025-03-28 MSRP: $18.99) shown on the "Newly Mad Releases" section of today's promo but the (G8/8.1 - SKU: 68747 released: 2020-05-10 MSRP: $19.95).

Apologist may well point out that it is an 'easy' mistake to make; no it's not, a simple quality control process on their promos would fix that. A cynic might say...

[EDIT]
This appears to have been fixed now, the bundle now has the G9 Waitress Outfit, not this morning's G8/8.1
[/EDIT]

I was waiting for a special sale on lights and lighting schemes. There are so many different ones, many of them quite expensive, and they have a *huge* impact on the final scene.

Likewise, some related to tools and plugins. Not widely used, some really unknown, but very useful, especially if DAZ wants to promote its own plugins built into the Premier version.

:unsure: I'm not sure that promoting stand-alone tools purchasable and owned outside of their 'Premiere Subscription' (lease and relinquish) model would work for them. Pre DS 4.23 items will still come up in sales as they are fond of milking legacy items, so if you haven't already done so, put them on your Wishlist, it isn't a guarantee,Wishlist sales are quite good ... sometimes ...

I've not seen many tools on other vendor's site (don't really focus on them), but I suspect* the Tool Devs are kind of hamstrung by the Daz SDK / PA / Dev T&Cs and licenses ...

* I haven't verified that, it is just a cynic's opinion

A few days ago, among all the offers, there was a specific one for science fiction assets, separate from the others and with its own discounts. Something like that.

Today's Daz3D store faux pas:

1743424274903.png

Currently seems to work for as many Daz+ items as you want, not limited to 5.

So:

1) still a bunch of stuff on sale 60-70% off
2) limit to Daz+ items and get extra 50% off w/ above deal
3) use 8 tokens for 45% off Daz+ items
4) extra 10% off if you've got a gold star and Daz+, more for premiere

As daz+ member, I was able to get a whole bunch of items for 90-93% off, many under $2.

Act now before they fix it.
