Prompt user to pick mastery progression setting

[NekoXIII]

set enableMasteryProgression to false by default, as the overwhelming majority of users want items unlocked without having to go into a vewy scawy ini file, or put in any effort for that matter

long overdue :+1:

[AnthonyFuller]

We've committed to it now.

I'm with Neko on this one - either we need to change the default, OR we need to clearly state on the first run something like MASTERY IS ENABLED BY DEFAULT - TO GET ALL ITEMS, SEE THIS DOC PAGE: link

I was thinking about having an in-game popup the first time you boot peacock where you can choose which you want, maybe?

[RDIL]

That sounds ie an excellent compromise

[AnthonyFuller]

People are just going to skip past it without reading it, you can't win. v7 will introduce in-game option editing, so it'll be friendlier for users to edit it.

[RDIL]

Sure people will skip past it but we can add like a confirmation

[AnthonyFuller]

I mean at this point just edit the privacy policy.

[RDIL]

I mean if we give an in game option that says

"How do you want to play the game?"

• Give me all items and 100% progression (Peacock classic behavior)
• Let me unlock items (Official servers behavior)

I think that's clear enough

[AnthonyFuller]

Sure, for v7.

I would much prefer if the default wasnt everything being unlocked by default, I thought most people use peacock for it's other features not because of I am too lazy to grind

maybe ask the user a question in the Start Server.cmd window or something? or setup some kind of prompt in the game if that's possible

[riisikumi]

Based on my three years using Peacock and having at least some type of moderator/admin status in the server, everything being unlocked is exactly the reason why most people download and use Peacock

[AnthonyFuller]

Wait for v8.

[VolkerSchlegel]

I agree with @thecatontheceiling and @grappigegovert, some kind of prompt would be best, we can still make a default, and make a prompt that tells people about it, especially if in-game option editing becomes a thing.
