Declutter quests

[ludwigbald]

Use case

When I open the app as a new user, I am overwhelmed with quests to solve. I don't know where to start, which does not motivate me.

Proposed Solution

I think all of the following would be a good idea independently, but also combined:

• add an option to filter quest types (or categories). Maybe it's really easy for me to do quests of one type, or I'm really motivated to solve one type of quest. I don't want to see all the other quests that only get in the way of the ones I care about. At the very least give me an option to hide specific quest types.
• be more opinionated about which quests have priority. Some quests are just less important than others, so which quests should I tackle first? Hide the less important ones.

Okay I'm apparently just lazy, all those settings already exist right there in the settings.

But: the defaults are set for maximum clutter. Maybe we should set a filter by default, so new users focus on more important tasks, and then power users can figure out that there are all these other quests available.

You may be interested in some of the issues linked from here #1914 and also with the feature: quest display label

Then anyone that wants to answer further quests needs to know how to enable them, whereas the current method means you see the most important/highest priority one on each pin (and in general if zoomed out further), but can answer further quests as they appear.

Sounds like something related to #1654

Your actual issue seems to be that you find you are overwhelmed by quest types that are unimportant. It is true, many are unimportant. I plan to do something here to make it easier for users to have only those quest types enabled that are interesting for them.

Yes, I'd close this as duplicate of #1654 .
However, I am still unsure about what would be the best UX for that, i.e. by what to group quests, how the dialog(s) should look etc. Some input and suggestions are welcome (in #1654)
