Hey there,

today the leaderboards have been working consistently for the first time ever since I looked at them the first time months ago. I literally checked them every day and I’ve gotten more and more errors until the site was barely usable at all. But today it worked fine. I can refresh the site and get a result every time! Whatever you have done, it worked!

BUT

the leaderboards are still showing wrong information. Some people in my guild have the wrong amount of achievement points assigned to them. I first noticed that when I started recording everyones achievement point progress (to get a grasp on member activity). Some people gain/lose thousands of achievement points from one day to another. When I compare the leaderboard results with the ingame information I can see that the data from the leaderboard has to be wrong.

For example:
According to the leaderboards one guy has 1834 achievement points, but ingame it says 5303. Yesterday the leaderboard said 5298.

So this guy probably just got 5 points today, but for some reason the leaderboard is displaying 1834. I don’t know where that number is coming from, but it’s obviously false. If all the other cases are any indication then I guess the leaderboard will display the correct amount again tomorrow, but someone else will be missing/gaining thousands of points.

I can’t identify any pattern for this error. Most people get the correct amount, some don’t. One day the information is wrong, the next day it’s correct again. It seems very random.

Please take a look at the leaderboards and try to identify the problem. This is really important since guild leaders have no other option to check for their members activity.
Thanks.

So today was a nightmare… about 30 people had the wrong achievement points because the leaderboards are just showing some random numbers that don’t make any sense whatsoever. Had to look them up myself ingame and manually change everyones progress. Please ANet, look into this.
I guess it has something to do with how often someone gets achievement points (new patch, lots of inactive people coming back).

The leaderboards are still not working consistenly by the way. For example right now it only gives me a “Internal Server Error” message. It’s not as bad as it was a few months ago, but it’s still far from perfect. I could understand a downtime for a couple of minutes when the points get updated, but its like this for up to 2h sometimes.
