    09:23am by Lijen (Site)

    Here is our last installment of the vDream 2.0 Preview, vDream Trophies. The concept of trophies is quite simple. As user’s progress through vDream and reach certain accomplishments they will be rewarded a trophy for their hard work and persistence. This is our way of giving you recognition for your vDream accomplishments!

    Here is a list of all of the currently available trophies. There may be more to come in the future!

    And here are some answers to common questions that you guys had from the last post, vDream 2.0 Preview: Racing Titles & Feature Unlocking. Thanks again for all the great feedback and ideas, keep ‘em coming!

    Q. As long as there are Tier 1, 2, 3, 4, & 5 cars for purchase, will there be a way to only challenge cars in your cars’ own tiers and drivers’ VDIs and above?
    A. We are updating the Random Challenge algorithm so that it only chooses users in nearby levels. You will technically be able to challenge anyone you want, however. If this gets out of hand, we will put in more limitations.

    Q. If for some reason your VDI decreases, will you be able to drop levels?
    A. Nope. Once you level up you stay there. There is no such thing as leveling down.

    Q. Since we start out a noob, can u still use a high tier car if u already own one?
    A. Yes, you get to keep all cars, parts and vDollars that you currently own. Also, remember that you will level up extremely fast if you already have a high VDI.

    vDream 2.0 will be released on Tue, March 31. We’re excited, we hope you are too!

    so at the risk of sounding repetitive and stupid.. do we instantly get trophies if we’ve already accomplished those required feats??

    You instantly get trophies if you’ve already accomplished the feats.

    Also… disregard the vdi numbers in the chart for leveling to new classes. I think there was a mistake somewhere.

    so if i have a vdi of 4800 what class will i be in?

    oh and i never did get a clear answer as to why my ram is maxed out with 835 hp (supercharged) and i keep seeing 925 hp rams. do they have a turbo or something?

    Chris-

    Is your supercharger actually installed? If you think there is an error, post up in the support thread on the vForum within the application.

    As for the 4800 VDI, we haven’t finalized the amount of VDI it takes to get to the different ranking levels, so you’ll have to wait and see!

    Edit- I just did some digging on the Ram issue and am having the same problem. We’re looking into it.

    whatever happened to being able to see what other racers have installed on their car? i see that luke has 920 hp on his ram but i cant see how he got it that way,

    and yes i have the supercharger, and all the parts that are compatible with it installed

    Again, the VDI values on the chart are not accurate to the final numbers, and are too low for what we will launch them with.

    We have not started any work on the Cobra yet, as we have other projects lined up for launch before then, like the 240SX and 2.0

    @Shane

    originally the idea was to unlock it at autocrosser, but then we thought it would take too long for existing users to get to that level. so i’ll state it one more time, the vdi to Pilot F1 is a lot higher than everyone thinks.

    Dan Mugur is the only one that is really close to hitting it.

    @ Chris D – i have the supercharger, headers, CAI and the exhaust on my ram. with the puter and camshaft it brings the hp to 925. but i haven’t touched my ram since i got the thing so if it’s some type of new problem with the thing that’d prob be why i haven’t had troubles.
