What about giving gift to riders every 25th level
Say at Levels 25 50 75 100
Would be an incentive to reach them
As only on 100 is not a good thing

Not this again. Choose a system and stick with it for at least the next decade.
With all the adjustments the relationship between your total xp and level is totally fuzzy.

Luckily due to the previous update I stopped caring about my level. The late join “feature” is a much easier way to harvest goodies.

Sigh. I really liked the recent changes. I wonder if Zwift is at risk of reacting to a minority of vocal users in this forum which may not represent the wider user base. Hopefully they canvassed opinion outside of this to back up their decisions. Will delay my update as long as possible to help me get towards the squirrel hat :chipmunk:

So the complainers won again. Thats sad.
Dont think I can be bothered to level up much or zwift extra with the upcoming changes.

410.000 extra xp needed for level 100 is way too much.

And those who were whining the most about it not being fair probably are at level 100 already and arent affected.

You come up with a good idea and kill it after a few months. Nice going Zwift.

It used to be 750k for level 60. It’s only 410k more if you’re starting a new account after May.

I was in the 40s before the change and now 62. Way too fast and I’m definitely affected by the change. And happy about it.

Zwift, come on now. WTF. I’ve been riding Zwift since 2016. I have 27,000+ kilometers ridden. Due to your first XP change there’s people that are now 20 levels ahead of me with 10,000+ LESS kilometers ridden. Now you are changing it again. You have made being any level pointless. Are you going to put an asterisk beside people at level 100? Level 100* (Easy mode) Level 100 (hard mode)

Stop making massive game altering changes. Work on a Zwift Expansion pack and release huge changes in that expansion pack and stick with your decision. This flip flopping makes Zwift look like idiots.

You’ve had what 9 years? Zwift, you should count your lucky stars that this isn’t a mainstream game. Any mainstream game that pulls this kind of stuff would be skewered in the media.

I’m probably going to get backlash for posting this as there’s a ton of people ready to come to the defense of Zwift. But I say to those people. What you pay monthly on this game, you should be expecting better, you should be demanding better. This isn’t a new game that came out 6 months ago and should be getting a pass. Zwift beta was September 2014. We are coming up on the 10 year anniversary, 10 years!!

When I had banked XP and that was also being applied to weekly streaks I was levelling up way too fast. Now that I’ve run out of banked XP, don’t have any route badge bonuses, etc. it doesn’t feel too fast anymore. But Zwift’s beta days are long gone, it’s time to actually think these things through properly the first time.

Try not looking at it as a game, it’s a training program and the actual purpose of the app hasn’t changed.

Do you get any less of a training session earning less XP?

You may consider showing the streak during ride as any other badge or “weekly distance/time goal met”, i.e. popup at the bottom of the screen after 10 minutes of first ride in given week (or whatever the minimum limit is). I think that it would call for even smoother experience.

Kudos for showing the level progression bar at the end of a ride. Seems like a nice improvement for those of us who like it and less hustle for folks that do not.

This is just making excuses for Zwift.

You’ve got at least a month to get to 100 at the discounted rate. Suggest you go pedal more and complain on the internet less if it’s so important.

If you are talking about my post… I want them to leave it as it is.

I completely agree with you.

Leveling up prizes could be like the ships the more you sail the more you move up

1 level 100 = pinnacle no more increases top level = top prize
2 level. 75 = diamond prize
3 level. 50 = gold prize
4 level. 25 = silver prize

This would stop the problem of increase after increase and future problems
Please make it easy for all to reach pinnacle
Please do not make it harder by slowing levels down
After 100 give rewards for increased xp
