The way to do this would be by creating a distinct statistic for each region for which you want to have separate leaderboards. So, highScoreEU, highScoreCH, etc.
Question to this:
How can we filter Leaderboard and make for example CountryRanking meaning "Best of Turkey"?
Does it mean we have to use 194 different country statistics for making a countryfiltered leaderboard possible?
Currently, you would need to have a separate leaderboard per region. We are, however, working on an update to the leaderboard system which will allow for more options, like regional filtering on a single leaderboard. You can expect to see more on that later this quarter.
Hey, what is the status of this? Did this feature come in Q1 or is it still under works?
Would appreciate information. Thanks!
Unfortunately, no. As a live service, our schedule is constantly having to be adjusted to meet the needs of live games - that's why we try not to state dates for features that aren't far enough along in development to be "locked in" to the current or next sprint. This is a feature we do still want to add as soon as we can, but we don't have a confirmed date for it just yet. You can at this point use the ProfileConstraints to get information on player location however, so it is possible to show player location.
I noticed the other thread that states that "multiple columns of data, coupled with a leaderboard entry" is possible. If we send the location per score, doesn't this enable the feature of having country leaderboards?

What we've done is give you the ability to have extra data per leaderboard entry, which you can use to generate rich info on your leaderboard displays. That doesn't give you the ability to filter on those elements, however. So no, you couldn't use those extra elements to filter what you get back from the leaderboard call (currently - that is something we'll be adding in a future update).
Thanks & understood.
Often games that rely on granular leaderboards do it for retention/monetization reasons, not so much for vanity reasons. This is achieved by increasing rapidly the number of "social hubs" with more relevant competitiveness which accelerates ARPU. E.g. A Country/City/Level Based leaderboard is much more relevant for a larger audience than just a massive global leaderboard that is interesting for just a handful of people. Point being, this feature would increase profitability for games that use leaderboards, which I think quite many do. :)
