Not particularly happy about the second ride streak bonus being removed, I think it could have been tweaked e.g. your second ride has to be more than 2km, or you get less XP for your first ride, more for your second etc. They really need to come up with a plan, prototype it, and stick to it, this seemingly regular changing of the streaks/XP/level boundaries is just amateurish.
I agree they do seem to be recalibrating their compass a lot when it comes to levels/rewards.
Guess someone employed at Zwift HQ has to appear busy and this is easier to do than fixing the meme elevation profile or other bigger issues, so they keep changing simple stuff back and forth
I dont get why they couldn't do a double bonus still with the first being given at the beginning of the week and then give a second when you complete 5,6 or 7 rides in a row and make the minimum ride distance 10km. That way you are being forced to do an actual ride to get the bonus, not just a hop in get bonus hop out ride and you are also getting rewarded for the consistency at the end of the week too. You would still get the max 1000xp per week like current but it would be earned at least.
My XP is just under 444k and I'm currently level 54 so I have the 20% leveling-up-discount until I reach level 98..... The XP bonus for streaks seems completely absurd to me, and not exactly very fair to those who acquired XP before streaks were a thing..... The fact you could easily achieve a bonus of 1000XP per week (for riding as little as 4km per week) was far too generous, even getting 500XP for riding 2km per week seems like a stupid idea.
If streaks must be a thing, an XP bonus should be awarded for completing 3x rides of at least 30mins each week, not simply logging on a completing 2km per week.
Thanks for the video!
Great update like always. Thanks
I love these Update-Videos ♥
I got a confetti shower yesterday. Thanks for explaining.
Thanks Lama. Always enjoy your videos 👍🏼
Glad you like them!
Always a pleasure to listen to
Woohoo…forever immortalized 😊on your video(W. Alvarez)
I managed three spins in one event in Paris. I quit and late joined after my first lap. That put me in a group that still hadn't completed Lap 1. I completed Lap 1 (again) then tried late joining again. I ended up in a group on Lap 2 and figured I'd just finish out the event. Tried for 4+ banners in one ride, ended up with 3. Still more than 2. 😉
what about an update to the climbing/road profile? is that not improved on purpose?
Still waiting for kickr v5 virtual shift. :(
Who needs keyboard support on iOS when you can have virtual shifting sounds and virtual rubbing brakes?
Great work Shane, I love your videos!
Yes, party socks! Amazing! Streaks!
How about doing some real improvements? Map/elevation revamp? Showing groups (like S4Z)? In-game radio? UI customization?
The map/elevation topic is a hot one for sure. It lights up the Reddit Zwift forum with every update.
There are third party applications for in game voice comms. I don't think Zwift want to step on those toes quite yet. And I've used other application "in game" radio comms and to put it nicely, they were of extremely poor quality.
Zwift shouldn't make any changes to late-join or timing in relation to the Big Spin event. That's working as expected - late joining should be possible.
All they needed to do to prevent gaming the system was to make the spinner only come up the first time you complete a lap in a specific event. However they also should have been smarter about the probabilities, because getting all the items required a stupid amount of spins for most people (52 spins for me). Lower the chance of getting repeat items, etc.
Thanks as always.
I still say Zwift should give real world prizes for the useless drops we accumulate. Branded T shirts, bidons, towels would be walking advertisements for the platform.
What would be most useful in garage management. Allow us to create favorite frame/wheel combinations and archive unused frames and wheels.
@gplama they should show the xp you gained after each ride too
Hi, any idea when Zwift might release a cog for the Kickr V5/V6?
"...a little harder to get to level 100"?! Zwift insider states that one will have to get an additional 409,000 XP to get to level 100, if I am not mistaken. Talk about going from one extreme to another. Zwift gives confetti socks to those who have already managed to get to level 100 before the goal posts move in May, so they can flaunt their level to those remaining behind. Nice, Zwift.... Will Zwift be coming out with special socks/kit whatever, to those who get to level 100 with the new requirements? I doubt it.
All about catering to those who race and ride 20 hours a week. Dedicated riders who slog out our 5000 -7000 miles a year on Zwift aren't a priority to them. II could accept a moderate adjustment but they are acting in typical Zwift fashion. Swing for the fences and miss.
level 100 at 1m XP - yes makes a lot of sense & a nice big round number, also no, I'm level 96 & have 1.75m XP :)
The confetti socks, I've got time to think about them now, prefer the fire socks, I can see "Confetti Socks RideOn begging" being a new thing to rival "Jensie Shirt RideOn begging" :(
giving 2XP is an interesting development, wonder what else they'll use it for ?
Agreed, I'm in the same boat, 1.7m XP yet my level up goes to 98, why are Zwift effectively ignoring my .7m XP I have banked, it is annoying
Hey Shane,
Have we any updates on Zwift Cog/Click compatibility with Kickr V4?
cant wait for the London re-do, i need that bucket hat
What are those zwift wheels? tri-spoke front, disc rear - never seen those before
If they're adding the clicks for virtual gear shifts, are they also going to give customisable free hub noises too?
maybe you need a virtual bike with virtual sram groupset to really hear that shifting clang and bang
5:00 Hi Shane just wondering did you here an update on vertical shifting for the kicker 5 thanks
Nothing seen for this yet.
good info, I would have thought tour de zwift is more popular eitherway no fence is a win for us cyclists, ... not sure if you've noticed but your avatar is looking a bit chunky in the rear end, sure that's not a real life example😀
While I would love to see a full refinement of the UI, what I’d really like to see is the ability to hide HR in workouts and races.
For Stage 4 of the Big Spin, how did you late join the B ride after completing the A ride? I don't know how to do that, because the event is no longer there after a ride starts, especially after 50 minutes to complete A ride. I didn't know riders were getting extra prizes. Cheers and thanks for the videos!
Late join A. Get it done within the 30 min window. End ride, join B, repeat!
Thanks Shane, would you be able to advise as to how you get the gear numbers displayed, do you need a particular setup? Thanks
That’ll appear when using virtual shifting.
Depends on your hardware. Works on my Neobike Plus.
@@gplamadoes the wahoo kickr bike have virtual shifting ?
@@andydowning9654 Yes, but it's implemented differently to a smart trainer / Cog.
Hi Shane. Always used apple tv 4k for for zwift - works perfectly. Recently bought zwift play controllers, works great. Due to limited bluetooth connection of apple tv i have to connect all devices via companion app and then i get dropouts.
Is there any way to extend maximum bluetooth connection for apple tv 4k?
The Companion App is the only way. With a solid WiFi setup and a relatively new mobile, I’ve never had issues with linking devices with the Companion App. (Google WiFi Pro / iPhone 6, 12, 15)
I'm still pretty new to Zwift and Play. Is there a way to give a Ride On using the Play controllers other than a group Ride On? Using a keyboard, mouse or the app for this is really annoying. And, what's the etiquette and protocol for giving Ride Ons, i.e. when should you give them, and are there times when you shouldn't, say when passing slower riders and how it might be seen as showing off or as patronizing them?
And, no, not hearing the new virtual shifting sound, but I'll listen for it when I ride today. I do really like this feature though and how it's quieter, easier and simpler and should save wear on my shifters, derailleurs, cables, cassette and chain. And now that I'm starting to wax my chains, it should be even quieter and smoother. My only real complaints are that gears should be customizable and the buttons more tactile and clicky.
At last Apple TV log out and reset after updating the app. What a pain to enter password with remote. This bug is there since many years.
If you have an iPhone you can use that as the keyboard...
Update done today on Apple TV : login password ask again. 😭
I really haven’t a clue about xp points or levels on Zwift I just use it to train on.
The best way to be! 👌🏼
Me neither - I have millions of drops and not really a clue what to do with them !
Hi Shane, can you link a Kickr Bike V1 to the Click to get the virtual hearing on screen, or is there any other way to show the gear on screen at present please?
Showing gears on screen from a Kickr Bike (all versions) still unsupported.
@@gplama thanks Shane
Any news on virtual shifting to older kickrs?
Nothing to report there.
He shane I have a wahoo kickr v5 do you know when the virtual shifting will be Available? I have allready the virtual shifting in house but it will not connect jet with my wahoo?
No updates on that yet.
Any news on the Apple Watch heart rate compatibility? Thanks…
Nothing new at this point.
Did they fix the slow rider problem? Even joggers pass me. Ill be maxed out but going 3mph. I gave up on zwift months ago
Runners are all effectively on 0% gradient. It’s a ‘fast runner’ problem, there’s no issue with power/speed for cyclists. Unless you have issues with equipment.
Today’s philosophy - if someone changes gear in the woods and nobody hears it, did it really happen? 🤔
For the first time ever I am glad of their phased rollout BS and I can enjoy my final second streak bonus this week.
My Zwift still reproducibly crashes every time after saving a ride, so I simply don't get any streak bonus - because I don't arrive at the streak screen (which somehow is what gives the bonus, not the ride itself). Should've put the streak bonus into the ride report as well. Annoying.
Also I am extremely disappointed in Jetblack that I still (!) don't have virtual shifting for my volt2 after they did confirm it would arrive "soon" way back when the Hub One / cog was introced with it.
Always one step forward two steps back.
I think they are going the wrong direction with the XP bonus for streaks. Leveling up faster keeps riders coming back. Making it take longer to advance is a real downer for me. Might be time to check out Rouvy.
Oh God - the levelling up on Rouvy is slower than a week in the jail.
Any idea what the holdup is rolling out virtual shifting to the Kickr V5?
No word on that.
@@gplama Thanks.
Any news on kickr v5 virtual shifting Shane?
Nothing yet…
Still waiting to 😢
Waiting as well 😊
Still would prefer a tattoo for level 100!
Haha, Ned.
Not making people happy
I just look too good in Le Beret.
He started it!
Pity they don't give a discount for pensioners I'm 70 on level 42 and the way I'm going I'll never get to 100 level. But having said that at the end of the day, it's only a game
They don't reward dedicated riders. I've been on Zwift for 8 years, covering 5,000-7,000 miles per year, and every time I get close to maxing out the goalposts move. I find it odd now that most will be outside riding they decide to slow down the advance of dedicated riders for whatever reason don't ride outdoors and stick with Zwift. That's my story anyways. lol
Maybe they could fix the climbing chart instead...
I still can’t get virtual shifting working on my kickr V5, with the shifters 😔
It's not available on the Kickr v5 yet, only v6 or the Core, should be soon.....
@@neilblackburn3133 good to know! Thanks Neil 🙏
The shift sound is entirely wrong. It should not be the sound of button actuation. It should be the sound of an electric rear mech actuation. Just as mobiles and digital cameras use a shutter actuation sound.
I'm not going to update zwift anytime soon 😁.
More importantly - have they fixed the broken coffee break yet?
No idea. I had a brilliant coffee stop moment today on the small climb in France. Someone had activated the break and attached to me getting a free ride up the hill.... so I did the same. We both came to a dead stop and had to start riding again. The first word from the other rider was "Cold".... 🤣
@@gplama 😂 brilliant.
🤣🤣
Level 99.5 Will get 100 later today. All for the harder levelling for newer accounts. Had this account since June 2015.
Late join for ANY event should be maximum of 5 minutes.
Nerfing late join would be a colossal mistake without changes to the spin win mechanics. The complete randomness is a joke. At the very least, they should make it so you will always win something you dont already have. Maybe also give the option to accept the drops as an alternate reward if you win something you don't want (i.e retro socks). Another idea would be to award a separate currency that can be used to purchase the unique items, or alternatively, convert it to drops.
I ride waxed chain and friction shifters so I normally don't hear my shifts anyway.
Zwift needs a Velodrome
I just want my Apple Watch to work with zwift. I dint care if i need 2 billion xp for confetti socks make Apple Watch work.
This update sucks. The amount I had ridden to get to level 50 before the change to level 100 would have gotten me to level 94. Now at level 66 with the reduction of streak bonus to only one per week and the increase of XP required to get to level 100 makes it impossible to get to that level as I am 77 years old. It takes away any incentive for me to continue riding on Zwift.
I have 1.7m XP yet my level up only gets me to level 98, it annoys the hell out of me that I don't level up all the way to level 100, I've complained to Zwift ahout this and it has fallen on deaf ears, why a new Zwift has to ride less than me to get to the same level is somewhat unfair
More XP tweaks, while a little tiresome, are required. A 16-week streak gave me 15 level-ups, which seemed too much.
Some of these last few updates feel light, and polishing around the edges makes me wonder if something huge is in play. This is something I’ve done with various dev teams over the years.
Ride on bombs need to be per 10 riders atleast and be nice to get 1xp per ride on. And still wheres our Velodrome 🤷♂️
#PelotonStillSucks
I won't give anyone on a Peloton a kudo on Strava
"Farming for more drops"... to be used on what?
For when they start selling 25,000,000 Drop pedals in the Drop Shop! 😉
@@gplama Count me in & I will still have another 15,000,000 drops left in my bank account - lol
We all wait for a graphics Update. We are in 2024 not 2005.❤
Hey now... 2005 was a good year! 🤣
The graphics are much better in My Woosh, but on the PC I use (which runs Zwift very well) I get 1 frame per second on My Woosh - totally unusable. A decent My Woosh PC would cost $3k to $4k. I'd rather spend that on cycling kit, not a gaming PC.
The graphics in Zwift are good enough for what they need to do, while being basic enough to run on modest hardware.
Getting more stingy harder xp now and the price has gone up games becoming greedy. It’s hard enough to get to 100 some of us have to work mate.
Zwift will always be too much a "game" before it's a properly regulated riding platform when actual rider performance achievements mean next to nothing. Loopholes to "winning" virtual trinkets that next to no-one will ever use takes away so much credibility. They need a "garage sale" option to trade all the useless kit etc. for XPs.
biggest example of what you describe was people getting the Festive 500 kit after doing a 30km ride... absolute farce.
Go to Rouvy it’s better! Stop living in fantasy world 😂 🐑 bhaaaa!!
Rouvy have also introduced experience points and coins. 🤷🏻♂️
What are you doing using a 10yo Mac computer lol. -U10
Gaining levels is pretty meaningless in this game after you have access to the locked areas. It’s not like you can kill bosses more easily 🤣
I’d actually like far superior graphics, I was playing gt7 and Zwift makes me sad next to that.
I'm so glad that thanks to the Indievelo I don't have to ride in Zwift anymore :) XP leveling up - what a nonsence crap.
