Announcement Bringing back the 'Day One' user flair

41 Upvotes

Xbox Day One

Many on you have been with these groups for over a decade and have frequently made a request to bring back the 'Day One' user flair from the early r/XboxOne era. For those unaware - this was a limited time user flair for early and founding members of that group, but sadly it was lost as the mod team at the time moved on to a different system. Further complicating the issue, Xbox has somewhat buried the achievement making it difficult to recover - or even find at all.

That said, we've been working on this one for a while and think we have a working solution. If you would like the Day One flair for your own profile, please do the following. It's not easy, and we won't be handing these out with validation - but it is a great way to celebrate your own long history with the Xbox platform.

  1. Find a gamer who already has it pinned to their feed. They don't have to be a friend - they just need to have it pinned to their feed. (you can search gamertag 'mocoworm' of 'f0rem4n' on your console as a starting point if you don't know anyone with the achievement).
  2. Click see 'full profile'>tab over to 'social'
  3. Click on the pinned achievement, then click on "Xbox One - Go to official club" on the right.
  4. In the club, navigate to the Progress tab and there you will see your own Day One achievement unlock.
  5. Click on the achievement, click on "Share", then you can share it to your own activity feed.
  6. Go to your own feed, click on the achievement and then 'more actions', then pin it.
  7. Post a photo or screenshot with your gamertag visible in this thread, and you will be awarded the day one user flair.

Important notes:

  • These will not be assigned instantaneously. It needs to be done manually, and the team will sweep this thread at regular intervals. If you think we missed you, please do send a modmail and we will review.
  • This is a limited user flair - this means if you change to something else, you will not be able to change back. Ride or die if you will.
