PRAISE THE LORD :heart_hands: Nice one Zwift https://zwiftinsider.com/robopacer-schedule/

[image] Chris_D9: the folks zooming in front of the robopacer all the time get a countdown timer for 30 seconds before they are zapped over to the next faster robopacer. :wink: this… all of this

[image] Mike_Rowe1: I think this is the real reason people want their pacer bots on flat routes… the inflated ego of seeing they did 120km in 3 hours, when in reality they didn’t go anywhere while riding indoors on a trainer. I’m sure this is an unpopular opinion, but distance doesn’t matter ins…

[image] Chris: How about elevation only counts if you did it in sim mode? :wink: (ie, erg mode doesn’t give elevation gain). I see your wink. Would you suggest that elevation gained should be proportional to Trainer Difficulty setting then? Speed/distance in ERG mode still depends on gradi…

These new Robo routes are terrible in my opinion. We’re moving so far away from group rides that most people would call enjoyable and now into the realm of miniature constant attacks with these hilly routes. I hate to say it but ZHQ is getting further away from what I feel like we all wanted. It …

Totally agree. It’s now impossible to do low intensity training with robopacers. It was my favorite part of zwift and it’s gone. Bring back flat routes or turn off dynamic pacing, one or the other!!!

[image] Andrew_Nuse: Who wants to do that in a group ride outside? I’d argue … nobody I know enjoys this. Apparently the complaint was the bots were too slow uphill, so they tried to fix that. But they still get dropped uphill so maybe they need to be even faster? [image] Andrew_Nuse: Th…

[image] David_Galbraith: Three times through Titans Grove. Meh, I remember when it was fixed 3.2w/kg (uphill and downhill) with Bowie and the group would thunder downhill at massive speed. All the B riders would do sub 4:00min KOM times as well. 3-4 laps of that was fun! Then Anquetil would…

I’ve been quite enjoying the new bot routes, especially the ones with a bit of climbing. 3 hours with a bot that ticks over 1000m of EG is a good route imo….but appreciate some people just want pan flat but pan flat usually equals Fuego desert which is the worst part of Watopia…..so boring

What exactly IS dynamic pacing? I feel the pain myself, but I don’t know what they changed in the bots‘ programming.
