Gamer Goals Completely Revamped By Rich Stone, 31 Mar 2015 FollowtopicsCommunity NewsSite FeatureRich Stone UPDATE: Several people asked in the comments below for Genre based goals. We have now made a way for you to set a Site Leaderboard Value goal which effectively accomplishes this. For example, if you wanted to set a goal for 20,000 GamerScore in all Shooters, go to that Site Leaderboard, track yourself in it, and then create a new Site Leaderboard Value goal with a Target of 20,000. You'll get your progress tracked towards this every day!Original StoryGamer Goals have long been a favourite feature on TrueAchievements, with well over 100,000 of them being set by our users over the last few years (and over 75% of them being achieved!).However, it has been a feature of the site that's not really been touched for a while, so we thought it was time we gave it a bit of an overhaul and bring in lots of new options...To create a new Goal, go to your My Goals page from your menu or just click on the Goals tab on your homepage.You'll see a new Create Goal button that takes you to the all-new Create New Goal pageThe first thing to do is to choose the Goal Type - is it a personal target or a competitive goal?Choose the Goal TypeIf you choose to make it a competitive goal, you'll need to enter the GamerTag of the gamer you want to challenge or overtake:Type the name of the Gamer you want to challengeTo make it easier, you'll see your friends appear at the top of the list as you type the GamerTag.Next, you'll need to choose the Statistic.

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.
