• April 05, 2009 Updates: Random Challenges & VDI Tweaks

    06:42am by Lijen (Site)

    The user’s have spoken and we have listened! We have been carefully monitoring the latest poll results and based on your responses we have made a couple changes.

    1. Random Challenge Algorithm
    Random challenges are now selected based on car tier instead of user class. The idea is that this increases the fairness of challenges selected through the random challenge system.

    2. VDI Tweak
    We updated the VDI system so that you earn 1 VDI for accepting a challenge. We’re trying to move back toward rewarding our most active users!

    We will have some more updates for you later this week. Until then, Happy vDreaming!

    I’m still failing to see how challenges by tier make it more fair? With the 360hp Elise I use, all that comes up is cars way beyond my league still.. The way it was before 2.0 was best.

    Once you get a medal is it possible for you to lose it? For example if you have the undying courage trophy and then you chicken out of a race do you lose the undying courage trophy?

    Yea i agree its a lot harder to win races and now when im in a rush to be somewhere and i need to send my challenges it takes me like 20 min to find one race that i can win i think vdream should make it so that the random challenge was like it was before vdream 2.0 started.

    GUYS! The elise is a tier 3 car because it is good! It is still very competitive in tier 3 and even beats some of the tier 4/5 in track races. It was never a drag car unless it was abused by challenging tier 1 and 2 cars.

    Plus now everyone gets 1vdi for accepting a challenge… so your level will go up even faster than everyone else and you’ll be able to buy those drag tuned cars.

    Vdream 2.0 was definitly a step backwards. I’ve seen this app evolve from it’s early days and am dissappointed to see that it has gone the opposite way with 2.0. I own a Saleen and am not getting butt raped by other cars so dont blame me for complaining b/c I have a weaker car.

    I don’t really get what your saying, you own a saleen, ur not getting “butt raped,” but still its a complaint of some sort? i don’t get it, and so how was it a step backward?

    Where are the 240sx parts? Vote Ford GT to compete with the Saleen!

    Hey i just bought a new viper because it was so hard to find a challenge with my lotus but now every time i try to go send a challenge im always matched up with saleens and vipers and i cant win the races.

    Hey, I’m driving a Porshe 911 GT3 and I keep getting a bunch of Tier 2 cars in the random challenge? I liked owning the corvettes at the track, where are they?

  • April 06, 2009

    chris you are lucky you are facing easy cars it takes me 20 min to find one challenge that i can win.

    - 04:11pm

    by jordan

  • April 06, 2009

    But I don’t like easy wins. I like racing against cars that have a chance. Otherwise I may as well just get a saleen. that lotus you have should be able to beat close to anything on the track, too. I know they can beat the 911 GT3 sometimes.

    Actually i just traded that in for a Viper.

    I’m still not liking the fact that I cannot race a Track Race because of my VDI. Before 2.0, I built my EVO for that reason, now I’m getting my butt handed to me because I have a Track oriented car.

    How come when we click on THE BOOKS it says the bookkeeper magically disappeared on us again! We think he was abducted by aliens this time… Sometimes when i log in it just says that i won 5 races but i don’t know who i beat, how fast i went or anything! Vdream needs to fix that.
