Not sure if anyone else minds this but me. However, one thing has always annoyed me when looking through the [Achievements][Your Successes] listing.
Why does the default non-filtered version of the listing of all the achievements even bother listing the achievements that I haven't unlocked as the default way to view the achievements?
[The short version of the topic]
Why is the [Only Unlocked] box for the filter in the achievements unchecked by default???
I'd understand listing them if we could see the information of what the requirements are to complete the still locked achievements, but those details are hidden till we finish the prerequisite previous numbered achievements of the same type.
As it is now, every time I want to check on which achievement I should try to complete next achievement, I have to go click the filter button to put a check into that box that should have been filled in by default.
There isn't a point in me seeing the locked achievements if it isn't conveying any information about them aside that they exist.
My suggestion is :
- Have the [Only Unlocked] box for the filter in the achievements checked by default. This will keep the list of things for people to look at tight and concise without showing them pointless goals with no information.
- Show the requirements of the locked achievements, but keep them locked. So information is conveyed to players to plan ahead to try to go for certain achievements.
An example of this would be: Showing the highest tier of the number of days logged in, so that a player can plan to go for that achievement rather then just blindly unlocking achievements as they play.
The first suggestion is probably the easiest to implement as it would simply mean one box is checked by default.
The 2nd suggestion would give players planning on at least trying the game for a period of time a sense of how much of a investment of time/commitment they'd need for the highest tiers of the achievements. Also, if the first part is implemented first, you'd also won't scare off any players less committed. I can only surmise that is the reasoning of why the information now on the locked achievements is currently hidden.
