    Well, for those who not so long ago argued that "no, Daz+ didn't become second class offer and Premier is just another tier," here's the first proof that you were wrong: in today's flash sale, Premier members get an extra discount. Daz+ just pay what non-members pay (yes, I checked in the cart, Daz+ members do not get the discount, so it's not only a visual/banner thing).

    Being a Daz+ member definitely feels like second class now. Or even third, considering we get the same offer as non-members while Premium members get a special.

    angry I share the feeling. 

    Being a Daz+ member definitely feels like second class now. Or even third, considering we get the same offer as non-members while Premium members get a special.  => I want my money back.

    As far as premier membership special price, the offer still stinks because the selection is aweful for the price point. And as I have said before. I don't think there is a point in daz+ (monthly) vs premier. For $9 more, premier is so much more worth it. I think the choice is between do I want premier this month, and if not then swap back to basic.

    But you'll be jumping and back and forth from Daz Studio Premier to Daz Studio Free? I don't think it's worth it... For me, Premier pays itself. Only for the the coupons, you 2x$10 plus the bundle Coupon. Tokens become something you probably won't have to worry about anymore in your life... And there's the Daz Studio Premier. But... Everyone knows what's best for themselves...

    So my comparison wad between the difference of monthly daz+ and premier. It's $9 and the benefit of free stuff and additional discounts well makes up for the extra $9. I got the lycan character bundle with October's free bundle coupon, then on Monday this week I used my $10 DO coupon to get the buyin hair item and the lycan 9 bundle add on for free. But, if you are not going to pay for premier, then to me it seems you might as well drop to basic and bump back up to premier when it makes sense for you. I will be keeping premier active through January at the least at which point I will then wait and see. If I won't be using daz much for the month cause of other stuff going on, then the extras of studio premier won't matter. Also, I pretty much own all of the similar functions that the new version includes. Best i can tell, the only thing that is truly new is geometry sculptor aka mesh grabber 4 which is VERY nice. It let's me do some of the stuff I would have had to export to blender to tweak before moving back in. Much nicer to have that higher level of control in daz studio premier, BUT if I will be mostly working with other stuff during the month, and not using the tool, then I might be fine delaying the subscription for a while. Atleast until I will be doing stuff that would benefit from it or sales would facilitate the premier upgrade for the month.

    Not exactly the same: as with any of the similar promotions requiring buying a $1 or more new release, a Daz+ member can buy a new Daz+ item at Daz+ price.

    It's not just about the price this time. This happening once then it could happen again and again more frequently. Let's Say there is a good offer and Pc+ gets nothing while premier gets the offer ín the future... PS: Random items doesn't worth the $$$ for me. My product libary is large here and I have several K or more like 10k items over at unreal and unity.

    Hey gang, please remind me again, how long does the standard introductory discount usually last? thx

    Two weeks I think.

    Edit: I checked and Lycan is the first new release to not have the 30% new release discount and was release the last day of October. Items released the next day still have the 30% new discount.

    Thank you! yes

    OK, if anyone is interested in getting both Kai 9 & Koa 9 Character Bundles, using the Free Character Bundle coupon is probably not the best way.

    Having both bundles plus the 3 addons in carts adds up to $37.67 for me.

    Applying the Free Charater Bundle coupon brings the price only down to $30.22.
    One bundle is then priced $0.00 but the other bundle plus the addons increase in price.

    Using the $10 free DAZ originals instead brings the cart down to $27.67

    Intro discount typically lasts 2 weeks.

    Cris posted in the sales error thread that it should be fixed now (I'm not premier so I can't test it).

    It's called a reset. No more middle.

    Can confirm. Now the Free Char Bundle coupon does set one bundle to 0$ without affecting the other prices. So now using that one the cart price goes down to $22.67

    It's a s*****y sale for Daz Premier too so we're all in the same boat... cheeky

    It was a bad sale for everyone, including the non-members, because of the products offered, yes. But Premier members got a discount while Daz+ didn't, so it wasn't the same offer. And what was being offered has nothing to do with it.

    So can a Premier member, but they also got an extra discount. Which lends to the point raised back in October of Daz+ now being second class membership which some people try to argue wasn't true.

    Are you saying you don't like the emperor's new clothes?! Why, they're lovely!

    And they're a free gift if you include a Debut New, a Toon New, and a three-legged hedgehog in your cart with the code SO-STYLIN-DAZ*!!

    *Items must be in cart simultaneously
    *Does not include D+ items
    *Does not stack with other discounts
    *Can not be used to discount items already owned

    Both of you made me chuckle, and that's not easy to achieve at ~7am in the morning.

    My reaction was to the part of your message describing Daz+ members as being almost third class citizen: Daz+ members are not queens and kings of the discount anymore, but they are not beggars either.

    well, i had a couple of the new bundles in my cart, overpriced, but one was free with my Premier coupon, had both and the required add-on for $18 ... but then decided I've spent enough and bought just the free bundle, deleted the rest. Great sale, zero dollars for a 5 item bundle. I bought the female, even though I need males in my library, but nothing in the bundle, including the male, really interested me. Koa looks like Genghis to me.
