Quest title: Fellowship Adventures

Current situation: Racking Position Error

Expected situation: A FS which reaches a „Point Level“ first mut have a higher ranking position than the next FS which reaches the same point level later


Reproduction Steps:

Mention issue

Gain points from Event

Check position

Wait until an other FS reaches the same point level

Check position gain

See that the other FS gets a higher position

Start bug report

In Addition:
Under the actual condition, the fastest FS will never get positon "1", because the following FS will gain a higher position. That's absolutely unfair

Hi @Brummbaer ,

Thank you for your report. We are indeed aware of this situation and we'll be looking into the amount of edge cases that will happen here, also because of the Endless Pit Mode and the relatively few ranking positions where this would make a difference in the reward. Obviously for the first 3 positions it would, but with the Endless Pit we don't expect that it would regularly happen that Fellowships on these positions will have exactly the same number of ranking points. For now it's not considered a bug for the code itself works as intended but if it turns out that these edge cases do appear more often than we'd like, it's also possible that we will devote time to build in an extra sorting criterium there in the future.

Well, do you want us to report more often / every time when the situation appears?
There were complaints about it from time to time in forum, but there was never a serious answer like yours about this fact yet.

It happens every week in tournaments and don't feels "*fair" at all. If you would handle the case "first com, first serve" no one would complain about it. But as it is now, there is always a bad taste, when you see it happens to you and others

@Flabbes : This specific thread is for the Fellowship Adventures. Tournament issues might better be reported on Live, for that's feedback on a Live feature rather than something that's still being Beta-tested

Well, how about this, then? Does that also not count because it's about FA on Live servers? Then again, since the first FA was already completed on the live servers, doesn't that mean that the FA is no longer Beta tested?

Tournament issues

It concerns FA and Tournament aswell, simply because the written code for the ranking is not good at this specific point. It doesn't matter if you have FS just once a month or Tournaments every week. There will be always an "edge case"...

If you plan to implement more kind of stuff with ranking, the issue will appear and appear and appear again.
