We’ve wanted it since Jarvis. And now it’s here. The Zwift universe celebrated this week as HQ finally delivered the ability to do a second or subsequent session – without exiting the game.
Simon, Shane, Nathan and, as it’s a red letter day, special guest Eric Schlange, discuss the advent of the most requested feature of all time.
Senior games guy Wes Salmon is on the Zwiftcast too – to discuss another sizeable development in the game this week – the tweaking of our virtual pelotons. The changes to pack dynamics, or blob behaviour, should make the Zwifting experience, smoother, more natural and more visually appealing. The regular crew and Eric discuss all the implications.
Simon also took the opportunity to quiz Wes on Sticky Draft – and his explanation may confound a few Zwifters who see it as nothing but a nuisance. In fact, it’s essential, as Wes explains.
The podcasters run the rule over two big new appointments to the Zwift board – and read the runes on what their skillsets and experience may yield up about Zwift’s intentions.
Simon also talks to a big new hire at Zwift, Lisa Bourne, whose brief includes diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging.
Along with some chat about game events and participation, the podcasters once again debate the utility of The Fence – this time in light of Wes’s belief that the recent changes to pack dynamics may improve its performance.
Concluding with a discussion about the disappearance of Zwift Transparency and the always-difficult subject of weight verification, the Zwiftcasters get a bit serious before reverting to type as Simon complains his training plan is too hard 😉
We hope you enjoy listening.
