How is the scoreboard calculated?

Hi all. I am absolutely brand new to this forum so I apologise if this is in the wrong spot or if someone else has already asked this. But I was wondering if anyone one knows or could direct me to a resource that knows how placement on the scoreboard is calculated? At first I thought it was about how many MCUs one had aquired during the week, but when I look at some of the player stats, it seems like some with more MCUs have lesser rank than some users who have fewer. So, is there something else that's at play with those?


Again, if this has already been asked or is in the wrong spot I apologise. I searched around and couldn't quite find anything that answered it. But I'm more than willing to delete it or move it somewhere else if need be.


Thanks,

Wedge

    The placement of Agents in the "top Agents" list on the scoreboard is simply based on the total MU of fields which were created since the septicycle started.

    This is different from the calculation of faction MU on the scoreboard which is calculated by measuring the total MU held in fields which are standing at each checkpoint since the septicycle started and taking the average.

  • The Top Agents are ranked by Mind Units (MUs) captured during the current Cycle. Only the Agent who creates the third link and completes a Field will receive Mind Unit credit toward the Top Agents list. If you created a Field that was destroyed before a Checkpoint measurement, the Mind Units (MUs) would count toward your Top Agents ranking but not towards the total regional Cell score

    I am currently at the top of the leaderboard. If you were to check my profile you would see my current “Mind Unit Control” is 354 MUs. This is because, since the cycle has begun, I have thrown for MU then anyone else in the cell, but the big field that I threw that put me at the top of the charts has been destroyed. The leaderboard is plainly based on who as thrown the most, where as the stats in the profile reflect your portion of the MU shared along with the other players that have resos on same the portals, of the fields that are still up.

  • Cool, thanks guys. That makes a bit more sense. Is there a way to see stats for each cycle? If there is I'm not finding one.

  • Tap the menu (bottom center) button, and “score” will show you the current cycle, along with the leaderboard. I know you know this. In the lower left corner, tap “history.” This will show your the end result of each of the past cycles. Tap on one of those cycles, and you’ll see a full account of the cycle, including each checkpoint and the leaderboard. Just below the leaderboard you’ll see it reads, “See More.” That will show you the top 50 agents of each faction, for that cycle. Good hunting.

  • Yea I got that, thanks very much. What I is there a way to see what I have for a specific cycle as opposed to someone else on the leader board. All I'm able to find is the monthly, weekly, all-time etc stars on people's profiles.
