Leaderboard guilds are broken?

Loewe1968 · November 2016

@Shteevie @Teeceezy @zbot @ …

If you look at the Leederboard guilds, you are surprised

DTP not place 1 and guilds before or behind DTP, which one was not seen otherwise? Our guild is always TOP 10, sometimes TOP 5, now place 37?

Can it be, that yesterday during the cleansing some guilds were not adjusted? The 14 day evaluation was unfortunately always a 15 day evaluation. Was this now changed to 14 days? It can not be the same when you make the stars in the 5 days. Our guild always makes a lot of stars in the first 24-48 hours, then much less.

This is not a drama. I just ask, because many people in my guild ask what's going on.

We noticed that too,.. Our third guild is currently ranked higher than our second guild,.. Which is awesome for v3,.. But very frustrating for v2 (slackers

)
A couple of others have completely dropped out the top 50

@Loewe1968
Do you think it Could have anything to do with the many guilds who boycott the challenge last week & didn't participate?
Or maybe it just took time for them all to be updated & if you look now it's back to normal?

DeadBeat · November 2016

I guess it's not such a stretch that it's messed up considering most people's star count is messed up.

@TheLostSlayer

Every day the stars are cleaned up. There is always a day "back" from the score. Supposedly it is a 14-day rating. In fact, it is a 15-day rating. (I have reported this "error" with a 15-day rating instead of 14-day rating a few months ago.) You can see that only one day after the end of the challenge, the score is the sum of the last two challenges. This can be seen if you regularly make your statistics. Unfortunately, you can not see the lists after the end of the challenge since the last update.

I guess yesterday not all guilds were cleaned (one day falls "back").

Edit: as I said, this is not a drama. I just ask, because many people in my guild ask what's going on.

Duck · November 2016

Yeah, very wierd this thing.. We went from place 47 to place 23 in one day.. Maybe with this new system we are soon too be number one!

Fragzie · November 2016

@Loewe1968 The guild overall star counts went squiffy after the update. I watched my guild lose over 3000 stars in two days, at one point we lost 1000 stars in one hour. Not much fun watching everyones hard work vanish down the plug hole.

Oh, and I wouldn't bother contacting support as they can't or won't do anything about it.

Julialicious · November 2016

My dear @Shteevie what is wrong with the leaderboards since a few weeks?

It is disappointing if you push to the limits but the leaderboards fail constantly. Can you please explain to us?

best regards

AleixKaOzz · November 2016

In fact, there are several errors in the leaderboards

1. As Loewe already reported, it counts 15 days instead of 14 days.

Possibly because it's formula is programmed like "today-14 days", which is actually 15 days period. At the 15th day of a month, it would be 15-14 days and a period from 1st to 15th... and therefore 1 day too much in history. Just change it to x-13 days and it would be correct... just a guess

2. As mentioned above, there seems to be another issue in the leaderboard, that it's stars aren't correct for every guild. Would be nice to see the correct number of stars.

3. As a statistician, I was always very interested in the leaderboards of guild. But since the last update it's pretty useless. Not only because the numbers aren't correct all the time, but as soon as the challenge is over, the leaderboard dusappears, cause you can only reach it via challenge menu. This is very frustrating, cause after each challenge is the only moment to have correct look on the other guilds and to see, which guild was the best in the challenge. Is there a way to show the leaderboard via any other menu, like before?

Thanks, Aleix

DLich · November 2016

@Loewe1968 nvm I read the other thread. Damn. Nothing's going right it seems.

Leaderboards are a joke if it's not counting stars.

You'd think with the beginning of season 7 of TWD and the commercials knowing an influx of players was eminent that this woulda been accounted for lol

JerryDixon · November 2016

The star thing is still broken. It must be a combination of the broken star count and the new schedule because our guild slid 18 slots from the morning until the afternoon yesterday. That doesn't seem correct. Something odd is definitely happening.

jacobwiedhat · November 2016

Leaderboards is totally broken and it's a disgrace, totally rigged and i think it's totally disgraceful and i'm going to fix it so much that you haven't seen nothing like this before! The leaderboard is so rigged i tell you it's so bad, so bad for the game.(some sarcasm, but actually the message is serious)

Watch tower 10 has seen this first hand, its broke. We go from 18th global to totally off the board. I've been saying this since the update. Being surpassed by guilds we were 1200 stard ahead is very disappointing. My guild and I have sent tickets in for the last three weeks without a response. The "First time" we were all rewarded. Thats the day my guild lost over 600+ stars, the guilds that weren't effected were also rewarded. The reward was to help catch up the stars that couldn't be replaced.. But you gave it to the ones that it had no effect on also. Like I said disappointing. Either rigged, or broke. Heres and idea FIX IT reset thr stars to zero, give us the day it starts, and ends. Boom problem solved.

Gindy · November 2016

I can attest and add to @Pic's comment. I lead WATCH TOWER 8 and haven't beat their weekly score... ever, yet we've skyrocketed into their global position. while they fall off. The sniff test here fails.

Pic · November 2016

Thx gindy!

Marie__Gaga · November 2016

As it's weekend in Finland we maybe have to wait till Monday for a suitable answer. I hope it will not be forgotten, therefore I like to remind

@Shteevie @Teeceezy @zbot

Thank you.

VOODOO · November 2016

Same problem here. 3 guilds have more stars than us. Three in the world, none in the US. Yet we are ranked 7th? Started the week at 38th?

Marie__Gaga · November 2016

Come on, @Shteevie, give us a hint...

Please Please Please!!

Julialicious · November 2016

@Shteevie?

blynknz · November 2016

Help fix the leaderboards @Shteevie

Fragzie · November 2016

Shush, no ones noticed!

There is a very big carpet, all the crap stuff gets brushed under it.

Step away from the carpet!!

Pic · November 2016

Keeping and eye on this

Pic · November 2016

@Shteevie can we get some type of answer? I'm hoping this doesn't get brushed under the rug..

Gindy · November 2016

Making sure this thread remains on top until addressed

@Shteevie -- you've prided yourself, and have always been great at responding to threads addressed directly to you. If there's something here that you can't respond to for one reason or another, we'd appreciate your advisement. The global leaders want fair and challenging play, not only amongst ourselves, but also with the new generation coming in that will be lighting fire to our heels soon! Will you please provide a response, addressing concerns regarding the Leaderboard scoring anomalies that have been happening recently?

Thanks

JerryDixon · November 2016

And is there already a thread for having the leaderboards stay up after the challenge is over? If not please add that to the inquiry.

Loewe1968 · November 2016

The problem is known, nothing has to be added and is to be corrected in the update 2.3.

Shut_Up · November 2016

Yeah I thought this was on NG's list of things to be addressed in update 2.3 but I can't find the thread. Both the scoring problems as well as not being able to see the board on the 2 off days are being worked on or supposed to be.

Shteevie · November 2016

The reason for some stars going missing at the start of the challenge was due to the server overload that comes with a larger population of players. I'm happy to see that this week's challenge started without the same hitch we saw in previous weeks. One down.

The sorting issues are due to the ways that the various social servers talk to each others and the client. We have a team on the task, and I'm not sure if we'll need to release this with an update or if we can do it outside of one. Because this issue is being handled by a different team, I am not as directly aware of the progress. As usual, though, it's not ready until it's tested, so I can't say for sure if it will be in 2.3 or not.

Guild and leaderboard visibility are already fixed in dev builds, and I see no reason why that won't make it into 2.3.

Was there something else? Let me know.

Pic · November 2016

I appreciate the answer!

Loewe1968 · November 2016

@Shteevie

Please fix the ranking of the guilds as fast as possible. Yesterday, more than 3000 stars were withdrawn from us ("Breaking Deads") and we fell back from place 5 to 23 in the worldranking. In the ranking Germany we were ranked number one with over 2,500 stars ahead of place 2. Now we are on place 3 with about 500 stars residue on place 1. Even worse has it the guild "German killer" caught. They were attracted to about 4000 stars and are now ranked 11th in Germany (previous place 2).

Both guilds make their stars constant during each challenge. In the beginning more stars and then always a little less. How can such daily losses of stars be explained? Which guild makes 4000 stars in one day that you can lose so many stars in one day? One makes still constant stars further.

There are still problems with the stars within the guild. A screenshot of our guild. Note the places 10 to 13.

The problem seems to have occurred yesterday evening, not at the beginning of the challenge. There were probably some connection problems and that is the result. Where is the problem of matching the stars of the players on the server when a player plays around stars again? Each player gets their stars displayed correctly, only the other players see the wrong stars.

Welcome.
