Re: !OFFICIAL! Duality of Humanity !ANTICIPATION THREAD!
Funny but so true. Missing a print that I tried really hard for only makes me more determined for next time. Just so I don't feel really awful, were there alot of people who also tried and failed miserably or just a few?? Is there anyone who put 3 days into this and didn't get it? I only spend like a day and a half on it.influence wrote:This is normal during the addiction process. You'll end up coming back next week and then the next week after.

Agreed... After I had RTV in my cart and then lost it made me want this one even more.star e nite wrote:Funny but so true.

Re: !OFFICIAL! Duality of Humanity !ANTICIPATION THREAD!
I honestly have no clue how I scored that print. I was stuck in the shipping loop then I started loading the links that were posted here and I got 4 email confirms.
Sorry to the coupla folks that I tried to get one for...I tried after I got my confirm, but it sold out before I got to paypal.

Re: !OFFICIAL! Duality of Humanity !ANTICIPATION THREAD!
there is absolutely no correlation between your order number or order time and the print number you get... it's all random, plus some prints are held back to be sold at subliminal and other places like ducky's and arkitip. the order number itself is just a continual order count for the shopping cart system, there are never two order numbers a like - and there shouldn't be.thestash wrote:Any theory on your order time/# relating to the print number you get.

Re: !OFFICIAL! Duality of Humanity !ANTICIPATION THREAD!
i honestly believe that most people who scored it have no idea how they did it... with this current cart system it's just complete luck. i was trying to get back from paypal and was watching the URL changes, then was able to select my shipping when it crashed and for some reason brought me back to the cart page and wanted me to go back to paypal. so i just reloaded one of the urls that i saw coming back from paypal the first time and eventually got through. the confirmation page tried to load but timed out, i knew that since it was trying to load the confirmation page then that meant the order went through and checked my email and there were my confirmation emails.DunDun wrote:I honestly have no clue how I scored that print.
i was hoping that an edition of 450 would be enough to meet the demand of the people here on thegiant but apparently it wasn't even close.

i find it amusing that the "solution" that obey found to sell this print until they can beef up the cart system was using the EXACT same cart system that has failed the last three days.
well hopefully now they are taking the site and ecommerce more serious now, i can't get much worse then it's been.

Re: !OFFICIAL! Duality of Humanity !ANTICIPATION THREAD!
I have an idea why I got this print and others. All legit, nothing special. Probably some luck, as well. This one was weird as the print disappeared from the cart, which never happens.fribhey wrote:DunDun wrote:I honestly have no clue how I scored that print.

Why don't you send them an email telling them that, in just that way, and see how far you get. I would imagine you'll get just as far doing that as you will pretending to be a big shot talking that way here as if you were talking to them.doc biz wrote:get your garbage together you dickbags

Re: Re:
seriously, it's a well known fact that if you miss out on a print and send a nasty email to obey then they will send you a free print... but that will only work if you specifically call them "dickbags" in the email. if you call anything other then that, like poopyhead, then they will just send you sticker or maybe a tissueadmonkey wrote:Why don't you send them an email telling them that, in just that way, and see how far you get.

Re: !OFFICIAL! Duality of Humanity !ANTICIPATION THREAD!
same exact experience... once the paypal page sent the token back to OG, I assumed it would recognize that payment was initiated and that the next =checkout screen would take me to the confirmation page, which it ultimately did. I had even hit the back button a few times to 'reinitiate' the token transaction, but in the end, just sticking with that =checkout refresh did the trick.fribhey wrote:i honestly believe that most people who scored it have no idea how they did it... with this current cart system it's just complete luck. i was trying to get back from paypal and was watching the URL changes, then was able to select my shipping when it crashed and for some reason brought me back to the cart page and wanted me to go back to paypal. so i just reloaded one of the urls that i saw coming back from paypal the first time and eventually got through. the confirmation page tried to load but timed out, i knew that since it was trying to load the confirmation page then that meant the order went through and checked my email and there were my confirmation emails.DunDun wrote:I honestly have no clue how I scored that print.

Ok,
I've been purchasing off his site for over a year,
I've been lingering on these boards for a while but never say anything,
So what, I'm venting a little bit on this board, the reason being cus I can't vent to obey or anywhere else, it will do me no good. Yea I'm doing a little whining but isn't it justified? I believe I wasn't the only 1 who has been F5ing for 3 days straight and having the pressure of snagging this print nag me.
What should I say? "wow what a great experience, I hope the next print takes 3 days of waiting to get again!"
NO, I'm a litle frustrated thats all.
I've been reading this thread since it started and seen all the complaints about the garbage-like cart system and why do they use this process and so on, so I don't see why you guys get bitchy with me when I make a general comment about this all being horrible, which you HAVE TO admit it is, unless you enjoy sitting around 3 days. In all honesty, even if I got it I'd still have room to complain, 3 days after the original release date is still 3 days after the release date.
And thanks for the welcome

for some reason, IE6 was much more responsive than Firefox 3.
ps - got one!

When a company decides to have an online store they should be
concerned about user experience.
Obviously Obey fails in this category. I doubt they have even
tested out the system during a drop. So, they are clueless.
If they are going to keep the old system up, they should just
tell people it will be the same experience, so people know what to expect.
Join in on the fun, or don't.
Rather than saying it will be fixed or the problems have been resolved.
It's all about managing expectations.

Re:
when I couldn't get the =checkout page to load, I'd reload that token link in an attempt to get back to the =checkout page. Logic being that maybe I could reinitiate a fresh checkout page... not saying that is the reason why I got the print, but that's what I was doing while my heart was beating out of my chest. I was probably just putting my whole cart at huge risk, but it seemed like the right thing to do at the time.stickee wrote:http://obeygiant.com/store/payment/ps_p ... Xxxxxxxxxx
