Hey Sir Stuart, hopefully you’re not so put off by recent events not to provide some input as they are now, finally, seeking our assistance. Let’s help them change course
For what it’s worth. On Windows, I still have my download, and it still plays. I should find some way to back it up while I can. Anyway, I was not forced to re-download. I’ll note that in Thin Air, my download shows an orange exclamation mark in place of the green camera downloaded indicator, and this could trick me into clicking on it to download again, which I think may have happened with some. But if I just click play, I have the old Thin Air still. I should try on my phone to compare to the new one.
I checked on my android where I don’t have downloads. Power Station looks original to me, for how long, nobody knows. I also checked Thin Air, and it is not the original.
It was fun while it lasted, unfortunately the remastered power station is back in service. I was hoping that wahoo pulled the remake because they recognized that the new video has little to do with the workout, but alas I am wrong.
Things are clearly in flux atm. I hope you’ll take the time to provide some constructive feedback on this and other SUF vids using the form they provided. It will be the best way to ensure that our voices are heard. Comments within a variety of different threads will be difficult if not impossible for them to manage, sort and organize.
I’m willing to hang in with them for a while and see if they can turn things around but, realistically, this isn’t gonna happen overnight.
Realistically, there’s a difference between trying to build something like Sufferfest, and claiming they are actually providing Sufferfest. If they don’t have access to the Couchlandrian donut guy or the Knights going into battle, then they are not providers of Sufferfest. Maybe they’ll provide something good enough, but not Sufferfest. I was never in it for the 4DP.
Oh yeah, I hear you. The loss of all the Knights stuff in Primers cuts me deeply as does the loss of the Couchlandrian elements in the remasters. This is precisely the kind of thing they need to hear from as many people as possible but not just here in text, on the actual form they put up (despite all its limitations). I’m just saying it’s gonna take some time, and I’m willing to stick around and see what happens. I came for SUF too. 4DP is cool but it is not what keeps me from emigrating.
I just got a recommendation for “Do as You’re told [r]” The “[r]” included. I clicked it and it said “We’re still working to make this content available.” Going through the menus gets the normal access, which for me is some non-original incarnation, but it still has all the team car footage, maybe no windmills and cobbles, definitely not the worst remaster. Weird that some broken version is showing up though. Maybe means nothing.
I was feeling a bit under the weather today so I thought I would do one of my all time favorite rides: Power Station. Favorite as in my 7th ride in my Knighthood!
What in the hell was that? ‘Wahoo-underful’ … REALLY??? How about … UPCHUCKABLE! MY PowerStation would have pulled me through to the end. I bailed after climb 9. Nothing to inspire me to finish.
FAREWELL Old Friend!
Stay tuned, Sir. The company has asked for input on their de-SUFed remasters. PS was one of my all time favourites too and it is currently unrideable.
Please give them some feedback on their form.
