Ep 203: The XP Row, Amazing Stats on Zwifters' Levels and the Women's Tour avec Zwift
This episode kicks of with a sequence looking at the community reaction to HQ’s latest changes to the XP system and, in turn, Zwifters’ levels. It’s fair to say the latest changes were not universally welcomed, and Simon, Shane and Eric pick apart the reasons. HQ acknowledged that the changes were not well signalled and HQ’s head of product Mark Cote explains what happened.
Even the most casual cycling fan must be aware that Women’s Cycling is on the up - fresh, exciting and growing fast. Simon talks to HQ’s Kate Veronneau about the absolutely pivotal part Zwift has played in this, much of it down to the company’s critically important sponsorship of the re-born Tour de Frances Femmes, avec...

New Pack Dynamics for Zwift - A Big Change:First Ride
Просмотров 8 тыс.2 года назад

The new Pack Dynamics are still being tested and not expected to roll out for some weeks. This is an assessment of the new exerience in one of the very first test events.

"Listen to what the community wants" That was what the Zwift Advisory was meant to be. But...uhhh...yeah, that didn't happen. There was no listening to the community going on with that. It was deeply disappointing how the potential was wasted.
Podcast topic idea: Zwiftcast talks about racing a lot of the time - but rarely about the ordinary people, the back-of-the-pack people, the slow riders. Might I suggest you talk about that at some point? And may I also suggest you talk to Linda @zwiftingwithgranny She is an inspiration for all of us at the back who are often ignored. She recently wrote an article for Zwift insider about how Zwift has helped her through recent life difficulties. Just lately she's had a knee replacement and all her Zwift riding has helped her heal quickly.
LOL, "We won't make this mistake again." What about the last ten times there was no communication? or miscommunication? (help me with these) Nerfed the safety bike, concept bike. Made the jungle slower, made the epic climb slower with 'ice' surface, promised something that never appeared like segment-based workouts, Switzerland and Belgium cancelled world maps, added weird, rabid crowds of people in several worlds, made the aero power-up shorter,
Bravo. It's about time the message got thru to Zwift HQ that forcing users to re-earn their banked XP was a mistake from the start, and that by stubbornly compounding that mistake over multiple iterations, they've frustrated their long-term users and made XP and XP Levels ludicrously meaningless. Time to bite the bullet and take a Roto-Rooter to the entire XP and Leveling scheme, ASAP.
What’s the cost to sponsor the Tour Alec Zwift?
So glad you are back! And hope that new kid Towle works out, I think he has a promising future!
Loved it - thanks guys. (Anna Russell is great too!)
Would love to hear Katherine Bates on the Zwiftcast although I realise she has 1 or 2 of her own podcasts.
Brilliant to have it back!!
Hi there, I was just wondering if you had any hope finding a co-host for the podcast? If not I would love to put my name forward as I feel I can offer a great perspective on zwift as a racer, community members and of a young generation.
Great show! As a community event organiser I want to give a massive shoutout to James Bailey at Zwift. James works so hard to us and does an incredible job. 👏
Elite racing requires two power meters. An 11spd crank can use a crank power meter.
But how do I turn? And do they make shoes for biking yet?
Welcome back!
Something not pointed out about the lack of class of MyWhoosh is that is appears to be just another ad campaign for the despicable government of the UAE. They can afford to be "free" (if you don't count losing part of your soul) because the UAE is pumping oil money into cycling to distract from their horrible human rights record via sportswashing. Their intention could be to keep MyWhoosh around as a "free" product for a while, then turn off the money spigot, after they feel their goal has been achieved They might have no intention of building a long-term business.
This has made me so happy. Thank you all for making my year.
What a great surprise! Welcome back
Thrilled to have the Zwiftcast back and I was so excited to see it on RUclips expecting to “see” the Casters. Alas, no video but glad just to hear those knowledgeable voices again.
Welcome back Zwift Cast! Great to hear all the familiar voices and Simon we all hope your "training period" is a long one!!
It's like my favourite hug is back. Great to hear you all riffing off each other again
such a lovely surprise to see the zwiftcast pop up again. welcome back. you've been missed.
Great to hear the Zwiftcast again! Welcome back Simon and Team!
Thanks dude!
Great little video. Makes you appreciate all the tech input. My eyes are too hazy to see it so clearly when im climbing it though!
I don't use a turbo trainer that much, if I can help it. But when I do, I find that because there is no movement in the bike or handlebars, I was getting shoulder and neck aches and sometimetimes some back aches. Since building my own rockerplate type of platform, I've found that I no longer suffer with these issues. I no longer use the standard front wheel block supplied with many trainers. I Just have a flat block, the same height as the rear wheel. This allows the handlebars to move freely.
They have these tools, and still they aren't able to match the asphalt to the ground... it's 2021, zwift is making a lot of money, yet we are riding our bikes on floating asphalt.
Thank you all the great episodes!
Amazing!!!
15 Seconds in, hopefully that is the summit of a epic climb! :D
zwiftcast.podbean.com/e/episode-101-siny-new-things/
Exciting times!
Fascinating video! I'm relatively new to Zwift (February 2021) and love it. It was really interesting to see the history of Zwift's development. In terms of future developments, I'd like to see more Zwift-organised large-group events. I also think differentiating between "community races" vs "elite/competitive races" would be interesting. Sarah on the the Channel "Everything is Photogenic" has two excellent vids talking through her gripes about Zwift, with suggestions. Worth a watch - put the kettle on as they are also about 1 hr total! p.s. I can't believe you have so few likes to this video. I can see why you decided to stick with the audio podcast.
Just a follow-up. This video prompted me to learn how to listen to podcasts (I know; I'm a slow learner), since when I have been listening to past Zwiftcasts, from 101 backwards (I'm now at Zwiftcast 89). I'm loving them! I have gained a deeper appreciation of what I do have in Zwift, hearing about how all of these newer features developed over time. It's particularly interesting to hear the interviews with the big Kahunas in Zwift. I can't think of many major companies that would be as open to questions. Keep up the podcasts, you have a new subscriber!
I loved this look back in time and all the wonderful commentary about how to continue improving the platform. I am really excited for the investments I am seeing at Zwift HQ to address a lot of what you brought up. Ride on.
Congrats ZwiftCasters!! thanks for all the content!!
Always a good listen... even with too much racing content... nyuk! nyuk! nyuk!
Just absolutely delighted to see this Zwiftcast. My favourite Zwift info channel. Edit: DEFINITELY should be open world. Because I *like* Zwifting in a lonely place. When there are tons of people around I can't stand it - it makes me anxious. So not only should it be open world, there should be LOTS more worlds and courses added so I can be alone if I want to be.
A favorite podcast 😁 Hoping there will be at least 100 more! Thank you guys.
Thanks Todd🙏
Love the podcast you guys rock.
Delighted to have another video ep. Vastly more engaging. Weldun!
great work always, thank you. Here's to the next 100 episodes. Always a podcast I always really look forward to listening to.
Thanks dude! We’ll keep on as long as people enjoy them.
25 mins in on Ep100...three white men taking about women riding on Zwift. Come on Simon, it's it time.....?
Simon, how far off Level 50 are you? I'm not there either BTW. 49 and three quarters....
Congratulations, on achieving 100 Episodes, chaps! Always enjoy your work and long may it continue.
Kind words make it worth it! Thanks Richard
I think we’ve missed our weather window to go for a ride together Richard!
@@richjlaw Really??! We can't have that. Over your way tomorrow. Small boy and Ock Street Dentist!
@@RichardGlazer whatever you’re into!
Thanks for everything from the very beginning boys!
Two Richards and two nice sentiments! Thanks man!
Getting stuck behind a rider even when your going faster and punching out more w/kg is the single thing I hate most about Zwift.
Looks good but demo not off to a very good start with the orange rider "going through" another rider at 1:25 in the left turn !
what a crap Zwift group ride. where are the fliers?
Wow first impressions are that this looks fantastic. Can't wait to try it out.
That looks great!
Love it Simon, keep up the good work! Looks promising as well.
Wahoo Headwind has a big problem: it's very noisy! It arrived today and I asked for a refund tonight. I find it really unacceptable that a fan costing € 229.99 makes such a loud noise.
