Way back at the start of Community Month when I still had my sanity, we launched Targets — a set of personal challenges for you to try to complete each month in order to earn some medals for your homepage.It’s fair to say the feature has proved very popular — with well over 6,000 of you taking part in at least one of the first month’s targets.We also received a fair amount of feedback on the Target system, so today we’ve added some improvements, and we’ve also got the list of April’s Targets for you to sign up for.Target system improvementsWe’ve added a count of the number of medals that have been earned for each Target on the main target page. This then links through to a list of the gamers that have earned that particular medal. For the Gold medal list, this is effectively a Target leaderboard as we continue to track your scores after you’ve achieved the Gold.We’ve also listened to your feedback, and you can now choose to move your Active Targets panel on your profile page over to the right via a new site setting:Announcing April’s TargetsWe are now announcing your Targets for April. Please note: You can join these Targets now, but you won’t start earning towards them until the month actually begins in your region.April Target 1 — Rare Achievements TargetTarget 1 is for unlocking Rare achievements. You can see rare achievements from the diamond indicator on achievement list pages (for example on this achievement), or search for them in the My Achievements pages using the Achievement Type = Rare filter.Please note — these are Rare Achievements by Xbox’s definition of them, and they are checked for being “rare” when they are scanned into the site. That means if they stop being rare after you’ve unlocked them, they will still count.The Target tiers are:Bronze — 10 Rare achievements unlockedSilver — 20 Rare achievements unlockedGold — 30 Rare achievements unlocked April Target 2 — Sports Gamerscore TargetTarget 2 is for Gamerscore earned in Sports games.
