Rarest Achievement Showcase filter
Hello.

Some games just have lazy, terribly designed achievements. Sometimes, a lot of gamers own the game, but do not play it.
This skews how rare an achievement is, even if the achievement is "finish the tutorial" or "get 5 kills".

I would like an ability to filter out specific games from showing up in the Rarest Achievement Showcase on my profile.
So that they do not clog up the showcase, and that there might be more room for actual decent achievements that I'd like to show.

I like this idea.
We cant as the achievements area separate representation of each game. Steam has no control over them as this is monitored by the game developers.
The one method to segrigate / sort achievemehnts is to buy a new profile showcase for rare achievements from the points store.

Yes except you can't buy one, you can only upgrade your existing one twice.
And I feel the generic showcase with manually having to see which your most rare achievements are, is undoable. Steam says I've got over 5000 total!
I agree that there is a lacking and wanting of this feature!

If you could filter or choose the achievements, it would no longer be the Rarest achievements showcase. It would be just a normal achievement showcase where you select things. Something that we already have.

You're wrong, dummy!
It automatically picks the rarest, we just want to filter out specific games.
It'll fill in the gaps with the next rarest that you have, duh.

In a normal showcase, like my previous post says, you'd have to manually go through thousands of achievements to find which ones are the rarest, and select them manually. That's not done.

Which aren't RAREST since you filtered out achievements that were rarer than the ones you want displayed. The name of the showcase implies that the achievements shown are the RAREST you have unlocked.

I suggest you pick up a dictionary before you start calling anyone names.

Which are still RAREST since they are the most rare achievements you have. That you filter some out does not change this fact.
I suggest you finish elementary education.

I can get behind this idea. I have Train Simulator and every DLC has its own achievements. With how many DLC that game has my rarest achievement showcase is just Drive Route XYZ because 0.2% of game owners have this DLC. These type of achievements showing over and over, makes it a completely pointless showcase. Being able to filter out that one game would show my true rare achievements instead of just showing which DLC I own for one game.

If you want a specific selection of your achievements, you could use the other showcase.
Just narrow selection to only less than 1% achievements, but allow to select which ones you'd like to showcase. It's completely useless in it's current form.

This thread was quite old before the recent post, so we're locking it to prevent confusion.
