Game Update - October 22nd, 2020

@Colin
Lol! I just hit level 45. I’m still on the fence about that. ;^j

Oh wait! Can I use graphic emojis here? :neutral_face:

Shane, that appened to me too. Also lost 120k drops and a helmet I unlocked for completing alpe du zwift. The screenshots for my rides are still there, including showing the helmet on my rider!

Please put a distance countdown on routes and also in the route selection change the colour of the completed routes so that we know what we have completed… we cant remember or search the badges all the time… thanks!!

This is about the Halloween update, right? :neutral_face:

@Oliver_Chi_SPEEDHOUN:
I thought I saw a shadow of a witch riding a broomstick this evening. I was turning right from the volcano island toward the “main island.” The shadow was on the first support ring of the plexiglass enclosed bridge. Strangely, the sun was behind shadow. I figured it was a tease for the few who happened to notice it. Or maybe it was my oxygen deprived imagination. :hot_face::wink:

This is a welcome addition. I’m pretty experienced at riding with a group, but I still managed to lose the Pace Partner (and my drops multiplier). Having the “ride leader” beacon seemed such a no-brainer that I assumed it was a deliberate omission so as not to clutter the screen of anyone not interested in riding with the Pace Partner. I realised that was easily remedied by having it appear once someone has dropped in with a Pace Partner group (i.e. when the UI changes), although that doesn’t help with finding them in the open world in the first place.

What would be great would be a Join Pace Partner option while riding. e.g. if I’ve just finished a race or some sort of effort - or I’m just after a change of ride - it’d be great to be able to quickly bring up a menu and say “Ride with Dan” for my cooldown.

That’s because those updates have things in them.

Any more news on fixing sandbagging or people riding outside of their category in races? I know we have Zwiftpower, who sometimes but not always, add category enforcement but I’m finding racing with people one or two categories above me extremely frustrating, especially at the start of races where you are fighting to be part of the first pack only to realise that they are made up of Cat A or B riders.

Category reinforcement should be a core feature of Zwift racing and I’m pretty surprised that, after the focus on indoor training and racing, you haven’t implemented fair racing into the game.

Sounds like a jealous competitor cried to Zwift about it. So now the CA is slower.

They ‘postponed’ Tokyo and cancelled Switzerland.

Rode around in watopia but couldn’t see anything new apart from freaky flowers. Have updated Zwift, but does this only happen on 31st Oct? Or are the new spooky things up now.

“Couple minutes?”, why dont you report the size to evaluate what is a proper time?

This updates are all great, but i have another suggestion… how about the option to jump to another pace partner in the middle of the ride? So im riding nicely with coco for an hour or so, and then i want a harder workout, so i just click a button which transfer me to amelia group… would love that option!

Yes having the same problem. Did u find a fix?

Yup. Having similar issues with AirPod Pro. So gone back to using cabled old style EarPods

Can you mark sprints on the mini map? I’m still trying to learn where they start :woozy_face: it’s hard to see the green dotted lines on the floor sometimes!

Restarted everything (incl zwift). Parring then worked, but companion map did not.

Yeah, three or so times a year Zwift gives us fun things that last a few days. I wish they’d put the effort into things that would be meaningful every day, such as hand cycles for paracyclists and more avatar customization to better represent the diversity of people with whom we’re riding.
