• February 27, 2009 More Challenges Anyone?

    07:13am by Lijen (Site)

    Hello vDreamers! We’ve got a few more policy updates that we’re excited to announce.

    More Challenges – We have updated the way that the quota for daily challenges is calculated. Now you can send 15 challenges + 5 extra challenges every 4 hours. For all you insomniacs out there, that means you can max out to 45 challenges every day if you log back in every 4 hours!

    Updates to VDI calculations – We’re continuously updating some of the VDI reward values. I’m not going to tell you what the specific updates are, that’s for you to figure out yourself.

    Update reward for sent challenges – When a challenge you send is accepted, you will now receive $100 vDollars (up from $50). Cha-ching!

    Gas required for endurance – We increased the gas required to compete in an endurance challenge. This policy is meant to bring some more balance and strategy when deciding on the different race types.

    we figured if people put their cars on the application tab or just want to show it off in general, you’ll want the better looking (aka later bought cars up top)

    nice development!! i should hopefully run into a heap more empty tanks while people are adjusting to this. Now i might finally have a use for some of my cars :)

    That’s the idea =)

    We noticed people were abusing the endurance system (people who had a ton of friends would just max out on sending enduro challenges). So now it’s tough to send out 20+ enduro’s and be done for the day, because you’ll run out of gas very soon, and most of them will end up in wins for the other guy. Now there’s more incentive to use each type of challenges.

    hahaha. lol it wont really work if you have as many cars as Daniel has. even with 5 cars (my 5 cars) i can send 20 enduros. 4 each and none will be tired.

    btw, i dont really like the every 4 hrs, we get 5 challenges. It turns it into Car Madness and it makes me to come up 4-5 times a day just to keep ahead of others.

    hey why does every example have to be about me? Its not like I have some “secret advantage” or something….I just race a lot. I still max out my enduro races….

  • February 27, 2009

    Omg, and its been hard enough sending challenges daily. at least this will limit the amount of time i spend on at once…. that and the amount of time i sleep at night… hahaha

    No. If you don’t use them in the 4 hours that they are available, they will be erased and start fresh the next time.

    Yeah the idea is to give super-users more of a reward. If you are a super user, you would log in 4 times, and get 30 challenges a day, but if you only log in once per day, you get just 15. The idea is that you have to work to stay atop the leaderboard.

    And VDI is more of an experience or activity measurement, rather than a “if you win” measurement.

    Is this A set 4hrs, 4hrs from your last sent challenge, or four hrs since the last time you logged in? I’m not getting this deal.

    - 04:59am

    by Troy

  • March 01, 2009

    your vdi shouldn’t be to bad, it’s just that everyone else will probly start shooting up

    just wondering, with the challenges every 4 hours thing, it isn’t 4 hours from when u sent your last challenge is it?? it’s like a specific set time when the new 4 challenges are available right?
