[known issue] Leaderboard Achievement Ranking Not Correct

Player = Bertie

1. On http://beta.glitch.com/leaderboards/achievements/ I see my rank is 266 and I have 20 achievements.

2. Go to page 27 http://beta.glitch.com/leaderboards/achievements/page27/ and I see there is no characters with ranking of 266, 5 have 265 and 5 have a ranking of 270. To get a ranking of 270 you need 193 achievements - this is significantly more that the 20 I have.

I think I should in fact be ranked 1939.

Regards

Bertie

  • My achievement ranking is incorrect also. The first page of achievements says that I am ranked 23rd with 265 achievements but I am actually ranked 35th.

    My travellers ranking is also incorrect. I am listed as 31st on the first page with 416 locations but I am actually 58th.

    My XP and Giants ranks are correct.

  • way to burst my bubble.. thought i made progress last test at #14 in achievements, but page 2 has me tied for 19th...

    *does some math and counting on fingers*

    I THINK what is happening here is that the position you're in is calculated differently in those 2 places - more specifically, in the paginated view "ties" make the counter jump over the slots used / count how many players are ahead of you but the "Your Rank" item at the bottom of the screen doesn't.

    In other words, it seems like I'm both #14 and #19 depending on how you count.

    On the first page of the achivements you have two players at #5, the next rank shown is #7 and that is the 7th player listed. there is no "#6" rank there. Do that for 2 pages and I'm the 19th player listed and ranked #19.

    If instead you count how many "ranks" there are above me (counting 5, 5, 6, 7, 8, 8, 8...), i'm the 14th highest - what is shown as my highlighted rank.

  • Yup, I submitted a bug on this yesterday too.  I came to the same conclusion as Another Chris - the highlighted "Your Rank" display is showing your rank within the population of distinct rank positions, rather than within the population of all eligible players. 

    I can't tell if this is all leaderboards or just achievements, because my account doesn't provide a test case for the other two. MaryLilLamb's comment that she sees it on travellers suggests it may be common to all -- the XP leaderboards are really unlikely to have duplicates (except at the very bottom).
