Site feature: New achievement flag filter

By Rich Stone,
One of the highest up-voted requests in our Site Wishlist forum is for a way to filter achievements on achievement list pages by the flags they do NOT have.

We've just put this development live, and it's a relatively simple one to explain compared to some of the others we've put live during Community Month.

Filtering achievements by flags they don't have

First, go to a game page (let's take the new Grand Theft Auto V Achievements as an example).

The awesome TrueAchievements GameInfo team has flagged the achievements in the game, and there's quite a diverse collection of flags in GTA 5:



(for a full explanation of what these flags mean, please look at the achievement flags page)

Let's say you wanted to find a list of the flags that aren't missable. Tick the "Achievements without these flags" checkbox. This will clear the filters. Click the Missable flag and then click the Apply button.

This will now show a list of 43 achievements that don't have the missable flag applied.

You can also select multiple flags and use the OR and AND joins along with the without these flags option to filter the achievements in any way you want.

We'll be back tomorrow with another new feature!

Yo! Rich here - I was the one that created TrueAchievements back in 2008 as I felt the Xbox Gamerscore system could be improved. The site has evolved massively since then and it's now the biggest and best Xbox community on the planet! Racing games and open world shooters are my thing, but I'll give most genres a go. Except RPGs - those things are evil.
