World-Class Traveler is 757 streets

I'm trying to figure out why I am not maxing out on travel. I'm stuck at 748 streets. 757 is the World Class Traveler badge, and there's a 762 leaderboard champ.

I have all the completist badges that there are so far, and went to every location for non badge regions.  
Checked every street on the location app, been to any seam streets related to completion badges and other non badge places, been on the Gwedolyn quest among others, used multiple game tix and hasn't changed.  I haven't been to all the housing streets but those don't count. Unless there are some that do.  
Do any machine room, apts, model house or subways count? 

Anyone with higher than 748 care to share?

  • Ida - snap. Sadly.

    Maybe we can start a "not quite first-rate travellers" club?

  • I must confess I'm now at a complete loss.  I've been to all the below, and have now revisited all the seam streets, everywhere in the tower including G's rooms and the shrine and museum, the machine halls, the bureaucratic halls, all nine races, and the game of crowns.  I have all the completionist badges available, I've been to every street in the two areas that don't yet have badges (Callopee and Aranna), and I'm still missing a location.

    Map locations: 710
    Model Homes: 2
    Subway Stations: 12
    Bureaucratic Halls: 3
    Machine Rooms: 3
    Races: 9
    Game of Crowns: 1
    Seam Streets: 7
    Jethimadh Tower: 20
    Hell: 1
    Total: 768

    Seam Streets: Palindrome, Snool, Wintry Place, Vicar's Peak, Martleby Hare, Plexus, Krystal Kaos
    Jethimadh Tower: Corridors 1-6, Rooms 4,8,15,16 and 23, Vent Room, Area 42, Outer & Inner Mind, G's chamber, Stairs, Mezzanine, Rook Museum, Shrine
    Races:  The Amazing Race, Canyon Run, Crystal Climb, Grab 'em Good, The Great Hog Haul, Lava Leap, Space Race, Star Sprint, Time Warp

    And yes, I've been to hell and back, both literally and now it feels like metaphorically as well!

  • Do you think maybe the firefly place and the Emotional Bear place counted and some of the others don't?  Is there any other quest like that?

    This is making me a little crazy.

  • Zin, I am in the same boat as you! Except you have one more than me now. Idk how :(

  • I'm stuck on 761 too arghhh!! ~ been there ages and going around in circles checking :s
    Posted 14 months ago by Fyxxen Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Yep, me too!  I'm feeling the pain.  761, is there a more frustrating number in all of Ur?!  :-D
    Posted 14 months ago by Stormy Weather Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Oh my god, they just changed the race tickets so they aren't random. Right after I used up like 8 stacks of them trying to get all 9. Talk about bad timing.
    Posted 14 months ago by Mikella Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Do we still do Rainbow Run?

    What if I missed an early quest like that?! Oh god I'll never be complete.

    Considering that I've done everything but visit every place on the map one more time it does feel like we are all missing the same place.

  • There are a few such quests aren't there?

    High jumping
    Firefly jar
    Rainbow run
    Rook Egg
    Dirtball

    Do they give badges? Just wondering if there's a way we can check we've done them
    Posted 14 months ago by Zin Subscriber! | Permalink
  • @Mikella lol I did exactly the same thing yesterday!
    Posted 14 months ago by Zin Subscriber! | Permalink
  • I was wondering that about the quest streets too - what if one has been removed and the people at 762 have been playing since before it was removed? I didn't start until a week after beta ended. I know there was a wipe, so I'm talking about a quest street that was removed shortly after that.

    The rook egg quest has been temporarily disabled, so I know that's 1 of the 2 I'm still missing, but it's frustrating not being able to check that one off and sit at 761.

    Edit: I'm a fool. Despite having been through the tower at least 5 times, I somehow never entered room 16 =P So I should be at 761 when the boards update, with the rook egg quest being my 762 once it is back in the game.

  • My streets aren't updating at all. 
    The leaderboards say I'm at rank 61 with 701 streets but I know I've at least 750 streets done, and in fact, if I go look at my ranking on the specific page, I'm not present at all (there's nobody between those at rank 63 with 753 streets and those at rank 58 with 754 streets).
    Posted 14 months ago by Zira Subscriber! | Permalink
  • @Zira - the leaderboards are a bit screwy.

    The listings correctly show people with the same number of streets as tied... so the (currently) 6 people with 762 are all tied for 1st place. The next group of people are tied for 7th since there are 6 people ahead of them, and so on.

    At the bottom of the page where it always shows you, the rank in front of your name is wrong (for everyone except those in 1st place). That rank is telling you an absolute number, that you have the 63rd highest number of streets, disregarding how many people are on the list above you.

    Also, it does take a while for the board to update after you've found a new street (or 40 =) It doesn't seem to be tied to each game day, and it doesn't seem to be a set amount of real time. I've seen it update as quickly as an hour, yet other times it takes as much as 4-5 hours.

  • The number hasn't changed for 2 days now, and between yesterday and today I've finished the last 2 regions for the map locations, 4 subways I didn't have, all 9 races, the halls, model homes and machine rooms. I already had the Tower and Hell. 
    I'm now going to check the seam streets but it's pretty hard when you have no idea how many streets you've done. Sigh.

  • I haven't contributed to this thread until now, because all my posts would have been screams of frustration (I had to run the Tower at least 6 times before I got everywhere. Note to self: do things involving quoins at the *start* of the game day, not after you're reached max). But, I want to thank everyone who did contribute because thanks to all of your posts, and your advice I made it to 762!

  • Well done! 
    I just visited Snool and got the World Class Traveller Badge so at least I now know where I stand, even if the leaderboards are slow to update... 5 to go :)

  • Hurrah - well done Pearl!
    Posted 14 months ago by Zin Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Hm.  Okay, I'm confused.  I have all the completist badges, have visited all the subway stations and all of Jethimadh tower, been in a couple of races etc, but according to the leaderboards I've only been to 714 locations.  How can that be?
    Posted 14 months ago by Cindy Electronium Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Cindy, did you visit every street in the regions that don't have badges?
    Posted 14 months ago by WindBorn Subscriber! | Permalink
  • I've been to everywhere in Aranna and Callopee, yeah.  Or is there an entire other region that I've somehow managed to miss?
    Posted 14 months ago by Cindy Electronium Subscriber! | Permalink
  • It is approaching 1:45 PM ET 10/15/2011, and, as far as I can tell either the leaderboard has not updated in the past 14-16 hours, or for some reason the final 5 race games that I completed last night didn't count for me.

    I am still sitting at 757 streets completed - which triggered the World Class Traveller Badge - and once the race ticket dispenser changed yesterday, I then purchased and used the remaining race street tickets that I was missing.

    By my count I should now be at the 761 street count, along with lots of others, and might have even gotten to the elusive 762.

    Does anyone know for sure that the traveler leaderboard has updated in the past 14-16 hours? 
    Posted 14 months ago by Shadowy Time Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Yes the traveler board updated within the last 12 hours.

  • I got my World Class Traveler badge today with the help of some Groddle residents who joined me for all 9 races :] I know I'm missing Neva Neva, Krystal Khaos, and maybe 1 model home for the maximum.
    Posted 14 months ago by Effigy Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Hmm.  Well, about an hour ago I checked the leaderboards and I was still at 714 streets.  I can't remember the number now, but my listed achievements were about 30 short of what I actually have, too.
    Posted 14 months ago by Cindy Electronium Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Cindy, as far as I can see you have all 24 of the current Completist Badges. Did you go to all the Seam Streets/Hidden Streets with keys, Subways, Bureaucratic Halls, Machine Rooms? 
    Posted 14 months ago by TomC Subscriber! | Permalink
  • I think I've done all seam streets.  Definitely all subways.  At least two of each of the bureaucratic halls and machine rooms (I will look these up on the map provided by a kindly glitch whose name I forget and re-do them soon just so I *know* I have got them).  I haven't got around to most of the races but I've played game of crowns and a couple more.  And as I said, I've done all of the tower (though actually I lied - I forgot about Stoot Shrine, haven't been there) and Aranna and Callopee, plus rook egg, firefly whistle etc quest rooms.  I think I may have only been in the large Alakol model home, but my memory isn't that reliable there.

    I'm not expecting to be right at the top of the leaderboards or even to necessarily qualify for the World Class Traveller, I'm mostly just trying to work out if it can be true that I've only gone to 714 places, and if so, where am I missing?  Basically, a machine room here and a model home there doesn't seem enough to put me almost 50 locations behind.  It's cool if it's just slow updating, just confusing if the leaderboards update at different times for different people.

  • I've been at 757 since friday afternoon even though I visited  at least 3 "first time here" streets since then.  So I'm pretty sure the leaderboard is not correct.  Not to mention it says I'm in 6th place, but I have less streets then the 7th place people??  Doesn't make sense.
    Posted 14 months ago by Gadzooks Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Omg there are special party place things and I dunno if they count but I am trying to get them all. My brain is going crazy right now. I think I'm addicted to leaderboard. I need a 12 step program.

  • What about the shop in Ix? Uncle Friendly's Emporium?
    Posted 14 months ago by Aloisius Subscriber! | Permalink
  • The party location names:
    Mazza'la Gala
    Toxic Moon
    Double Rainbow
    Nylon Phool
    Pitchen Lilliputt
    Posted 14 months ago by TomC Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Well someone found at least 3 new locations and i'm guessing that they are the party ones? anyone know where they are?
    or do we guess by their names :S
    Posted 14 months ago by Crocen Subscriber! | Permalink
  • The party locations requires an invite by someone already in the party. At the moment it's not officially released, so only staff can start parties I think.
    Posted 14 months ago by TomC Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Aloisius, good point, I think Uncle Friendly's Emporium counts as one of the locations.

    The Firefly Lab 3000 and that psychedelic optical illusion place after that may also count for the score.
    Posted 14 months ago by TomC Subscriber! | Permalink
  • I visited all the party locations and my count didn't go up so maybe it is something else?
    Posted 14 months ago by Aloisius Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Mine didn't go up either, but I asked in the help channel and they should count. I was told the leaderboard is a little buggy and is something they are working on, but it should be updated for everyone at some point soon.
    Posted 14 months ago by Sethy Subscriber! | Permalink
  • I guess in that case the answer is to sit tight and wait!
    Posted 14 months ago by Zin Subscriber! | Permalink
  • They count you just have to wait a bit.
    Posted 14 months ago by Crocen Subscriber! | Permalink
  • My count went from 765 to 766 after visiting "unnnn" in Jethimadh Tower: Mid, so I guess that place counts as a traveled location...
    Posted 14 months ago by TomC Subscriber! | Permalink
  • I visited *many* new places yesterday and got the Traveler's badge, but my Leaderboard is still saying 749, despite other players' numbers having been updated D:. Do we know how long it takes for an update?

    Hi all,
    The wonkiness of the leader board is a known bug-a-boo, so hang tight while they work it out.
    Posted 14 months ago by Stormy Weather Subscriber! | Permalink
  • I forgot about the rook egg - did that one.  What is dirtball?  I don't have that quest, maybe that's my missing one.  

    I missed a lot last weekend!
    Posted 14 months ago by Ida Keen Subscriber! | Permalink
  • I've noticed there is a Hell 2. Apparently you get bumped to that one if there are too many souls in Hell 1. Does that count as a new street?
    Posted 14 months ago by pixel Subscriber! | Permalink
  • No, pixel. I do not believe that it does.
    Posted 14 months ago by Onath Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Seems I too will be joining the 'Just Need One More Location' group. So frustrating, I know I've been everywhere that has been mentioned, bar one party place, and many of them more than once. At a complete loss now where that elusive last place can be.
    Posted 14 months ago by Teena Subscriber! | Permalink
  • waaaah mine says 765....I swear I've been everywhere WTH?
    Also When I look at leaderboard it shows me at 3rd but I'm at the bottom? or is that how everyones leaderboard page looks?
    and if i am 3rd why is someone with 766 streets in 7th?  im so confused....as usual.
    Posted 14 months ago by Gadzooks Subscriber! | Permalink
  • This has been said before, but just to reiterate:  
    The leaderboard calculates in 2 ways simultaneously.

    1 - To show you at the bottom of the 1st page (assuming you are not actually ON the first page) they do a position a bit like this:  "Raw position count based on unique values in the list."  While odd perhaps, it DOES conveniently tell you how many locations you are still missing.

    2 - To show you at your proper position in the list they calculate like this:  Dupes all get the rank of the first value with that score but dupes count as people taking up ranks.  Thus, the next rank below a pile of dupes will skip all the ranks that would have been used by all the people in the dupe group.  (A very common way of representing rank on leaderboards actually.)

    As an example, as I type this page 1 shows me as being in rank #13 at the bottom (meaning really I need 13 locations to catch up to first place (this is because the location leaderboard tends to not have gaps in the values due to a large number of players and small number of possible values).  Yet, while the above shows me in 13nd place (which would logically put me on page 2) the "real" calculation occurs for "non-page-one" and I can be found happily nestled on page 42 in 408th place.  (Because "dupe groups" have eliminated ranks from being possible without actually using them.)
