The Leaderboards appear to give the wrong rank for your character at the bottom. For example, it says I'm ranked 165 for Top Travellers, but if I actually go through the pages, I find that I'm really only ranked in the mid-200s.
This post is 4 months old, and this problem still has not been fixed, or has come back. I'm working on climbing that board so I'd like to be able to see my correct rank if the devs have time to work on it. So. Bump!
Alright. Currently I have visited 748 streets. With the current standings, this puts me in 52nd place, on page 6 of the Top Traveler's Leaderboard. I am shown there on page 6, but the yellow bar with my name on it that shows up below the board on every other page has me at 14th place, which is incorrect. The number in the bar seems to be counting the number of place groupings (1st, 2nd, 7th, etc. 52nd is the 14th grouping) Instead of showing the actual placement.
Let me know if you need any more info. Thanks for your help!
This problem is definitely still happening for the Most Traveled and Achievements high scores. The Total XP one is fine however, and should be what the other two should look like.
So basically, the ranking you see at the bottom of the page shows the distinct rank, meaning if say 200 places traveled is Rank 57, then everyone with 200 places traveled will show Rank 57, and then 199 places traveled will be Rank 58, and everyone with 199 places traveled with be Rank 58.
However, the actual ranking when you view the paged format takes into account ties. So if hypothetically there are 5000 people with 200 places traveled, and the Rank is 57, then 199 places traveled will all be behind those 5000 people, and thus anyone with 199 places traveled will actually be ranked 5058.
I made a mistake in my last post saying the Total XP high scores were good; it's actually in the same boat as the other two. Just there are much more score possibilities that the chances of a tie are extremely low and thus the ranking issue is not nearly as noticeable.
