PRAISE THE LORD 
Nice one Zwift
Praise the lord, routes with actual hills.

Fresh routes are appreciated but it would be nice to keep staples like tempus in the rotation all the time. TF is such a popular route and I’m sure the population on that route dwarves any other route. As I saw someone else mention it’s nice to be able to hop on TF with a pacer and just chill and zone out on other things.

But you don’t NEED a pacer bot to do that… why is it so popular? Is it becuase the speeds are incredibly inflated and you can get a ton of distance with minimal work?
I for one am very happy for the route changes, I get very bored on TF and it is great to have a change of scenery.

Good to see Two Bridges loop on rotation, not a very big loop and not terribly big hills, but enough to make things less boring when not done at race race.
Or is it because you can get a ton of distance with minimal work AND at a (fairly) static pace ?
But of course let’s hope RoboPacer numbers don’t drop and therefore no need to restart the whole Dynamic pace v Static pace arguments all over again 
[Edit, just to confirm I’m in the why can’t there be both camp ? ]

I agree with Andre on this. Long Z2 endurance sessions at a steady pace are commonly done with pacers because of the social interaction. Using the in-game chat feature is a welcome distraction during endurance sessions and the pacer bots usually attract a larger group and hence more user interaction. The social interaction on these pacer bot routes is usually underestimated in terms of the platform’s appeal to its userbase. Users encourage and inspire others for the most part and it is a welcome part of the Zwift culture, less commonly seen on other contending platforms.

I think it’s kinda hilarious if anyone thinks they’re really cycling a “distance” while on Zwift, or that it matters. Time and effort really is all that should matter

Correct you don’t need a pacer but it’s a quality of life thing to be able to port over to TF if I just want to chill or say I want to do some efforts or intervals and then go back to a pacer or vice versa. Heck too many people do intervals or other efforts with pacers and that’s really not the purpose of pacers and ruins the group often. I mean what’s the harm in having flexibility.
1000% this. To this point I did ride some just solo on TF yesterday and the lack of the social interaction felt like a black hole.
Agree, Zwift/pacer miles are meaningless, I like the TF pacers for other reasons.

Ultimately…sure…but until I get the Tron fully upgraded “distance” does matter.

It’s still possible to do that by choosing the Tempus Fugit route, it’s just that folks won’t be going along anymore at 40km/h average speed and getting 120km in 3 hours.
I like the robopacer course changes, they are on some more interesting routes.
I don’t think you are supposed to chat. Usually someone will come along saying “take it offline” or some other grumble about people chatting. 
I’ve seen some epic disagreements over that, particularly an innocent discussion on food that went to an almost Chernobyl level meltdown.

For me it’s the sweat drop multiplier on a flat route. I struggle riding hillier courses with robopacers because of the height and weight difference. And I need the drops for the halo!

We all do, it’s ideal for casual DROPS FARMING.
But you just unlock the tron bike by elevation gain rather than buying it?
For a lot of routes the other halo bikes are not always fastest, I think you can just take your time and not be tied to farming drops to get the halos in shortest time.
Perhaps they need the drops to purchase the upgrades on a halo bike?

Triple twist with Constance…..
Now that is a really fun loop
Great selection Zwift
Agree, since RoboPacers changed I lost my possibility of doing 2/3 hrs steady pacing rides 
Please ZWIFT come back with steady FLAT Routes!!!
