I really want to be able to jump between the small worlds, i’m getting increasingly bored of the bigger ones and doing similar courses ever time due to the length of time i want to ride for
I would just enjoy my ride and not care about that. I deleted my Strava account years ago when KOM hunters started hitting pedestrians. I analyze data on TrainingPeaks but just for power, not for imaginary maps. Let Zwift be Zwift and don’t make it serve Strava or anything outside the game.
Strava already handles this correctly re distance. Commute used to be a ride to train station, catch train and finish riding to work. Yes, it showed a straight line for portion on the train but distance, time and speed were shown correctly (Garmin stopped whilst on train).
I don’t think this would be an issue. I haven’t tried it, obviously, but I’d be surprised if Strava would even let you create such a segment. We can be pretty sure no public ones would span gaps, as only Eric S can create them.
Oh sure, it’s pure speculation. But I’m expecting something not a million miles away from that - not location-accurate scenery, auto-generated but not just a plain wasteland.
Why would you want to analyse a section that traverses a couple of different worlds, when you’ve probably been soft pedalling while the new world loads or some other thing that means it’s not a sustained effort?
It just seems like dreaming up obstacles that aren’t likely to be an issue in reality.
The intent of the coffee stop is to not lose the riders you’re riding with. The intent is not to purposely give you 3 free minutes of xp or distance. If who you’re riding with leaves the game, or you yourself are quitting, then there’s no loss anyway. I assume if you’re on break and the other rider leaves, you’ll just coast to a stop on the side of the road.
That is what I would expect as well. Just hope it is more interesting than RGT’s Magic Roads scenery is.
SIgned up to RGT Just to try it, and the GPS thing worked really well … I used a route I have ridden a lot and know really well and it was definitely accurate to how it feels in real life. It was just really boring to look at on screen while riding it.
Can definitely see the benefit of the Magic Roads thing if you are entered in an event on unfamiliar roads and want to get a feel for it, beyond that I personally don’t see the attraction.
