Guild Wars 2

I try not to obsess about where I am on the leaderboards, but I’ve recently been trying to increase my rank in SoloQ in the hope that I’ll have more enjoyable matches. At the start of the day I was 111 wins to 109 losses.

I’ve since won 7 games in a row, 5 of which have shown up on this leaderboard. I was ranked at 88%

That is a link to the leaderboard, for some reason my ranking has gone down by 3% from 94%, which I must assume at some point I reached, and its gone down by that without me losing at all.

I’d just like some clarification on how else the Rating is calculated, do the points that you get in the game matter for instance? It seems it can’t just be a win/lose basis.

I’m pretty sure that if you’re in the percentile area a red arrow means you’re gaining ranks on the leaderboards.

Well given that I started the day at 88% and my rating has gone up by 3% but its telling me its gone down by the same amount that would make some sort of sense. Would be nice to clarify if this is a bug with the leaderboards. I know for a fact some of my friends that have been afk are shown as going up by x% despite not having played today, perhaps for the same reason

I’m pretty sure it’s just a bug, an annoying one nevertheless.

Ok, thanks

You were most likely dropping because more AFK players have been returning, reclaiming their previous position on the leaderboard.

I do agree that this is annoying, and we are going to change this.

No problem, I figured this might be the case, glad to hear that it doesnt tell you your rank has gone down by as many % as its gone up by and vice versa honestly. Just confusing that someone who I’m fairly sure hadn’t played had gone up by 1% where I had gone down, him not having played a match since the last update and me having won loads.

I doubt 3% soloq of the playerbase has done this, I used an account on eu for a while as a seperate queueing account when only teamqueue was available and if i won games it’d show a red downward arrow when I won games even though my percentile gained ranks.

I’m a litte bit confused… that the fact that this is a BUG is not well known!
It is DEFNITELY the case that the ladderbord is showing a red arow if you are in the % range and RISE… Have seen this hundert of times! This is the opposite to the case if you are in the ladder (top 1000). I think this is a bug caused by bad programming (sry ArenaNet but u are doing a LOT of big mistakes). In lb the green arrow is right if the rank number lowers (from 200 to 100 the number is becoming smaler) but in the % area this is WRONG (50% to 90% means u become better even if the number becomes bigger).

This is a BUG! I’m really wondering that Justin doesn’t know that… Plz forward this to your QA-Team, Justin!
