    Hi all,

    Has anyone tracked the refresh time for the leaderboards.

    British Bulldogs accidentally went above our 101 rank today (sorry to any guild affected) and we showed on top 100 leaderboard with a + 4 next to our name. Then a few hours later we had increased rank further (again by total mistake honest) and we stayed at the same position and rank number but there was a = sign next to our name.

    Is there a thread (i have searched) or anyone who knows the answer to how the leaderboards refresh works?

    No, but from my observations it's a representation of 24-hour average movement.

    Yea its not very accurate since it doesn't update very often. Maybe a Midoki employee could tell us how often it updates? Every hour would be great :)

    The refresh takes a few hours. Anyone from [Midoki]? I second having a refresh on the hour.

    It seems to update every hour or two, but not with the current rankings. I remember watching myself update, but to what my rank was an hour previous. I could find no logic or pattern to it.

    Thanks Salty, i wonder if we will get a answer from the devs on this or if the mystery will remain?

    I wasn't timing it but it appeared to take 4 hours earlier then 2 hours - either i lost track of time or refresh is variable. Also saw the same as you that rank was higher than shown upon the leaderboard when updated so looks like it does take a snapshot at a given time and waits a while before it gets published.

    The same thing happens, albeit a bit quicker, with player island updates. People are always changing their base, then asking me to check it, and it takes a while before those changes appear. Same with their rank changes.

    This one is simple - if both the island owner and you log out and then back in, the new layout will be visible.

    Hi

    We're going to have a look at the refresh rates and do a quick test where we'll halve the current refresh times. Lets see how that goes :)

    But, did that answer how often it happens?
    Right up there with how team scoring is figured out :)
