@Wipqozn Okay. Question posted. Because I like to beat dead horses.

oh it's not an early return, it's just an early "quit from the codeblock" that doesn't cause a return for the whole function

Q: Aside from level recommendations, when should I start the DLC?

I'm currently replaying Witcher 3. I've done one playthrough before, but haven't played either of the expansion packs before. I was wondering just how 'absolute' the recommendations are (level 30+ each) . Right now I've confirmed Ciri is in neither of the 3 areas and am at level 20+ I've read t...

I think @Chippies is Alliance

sequoiad

FOR THE ALLIANCE!

2:32 PM

And is brewmaster

I honestly don't care that much, but most of my friends play Horde so /shrug

Nzall

@sequoiad I actually prefer it. I preferred Focusing Shot over Lone Wolf in WoD, and I hated that I can't pick them both. Now, I have both Lone Wolf, Sidewinders and Volley and I literally have 3 buttons in my rotation. Then again, I hate complexity and challenge in my games

Private Pansy

Nzall

especially things like artificial challenge, like hiding important information

@twobugs From what I've heard Horde has more interesting characters in the sense of "I don't want to be that boring guy who just made an elf that looks like themselves except taller"

@sequoiad I've tried several times to level an alliance character. I just can't. After leveling 11 alts to max level and getting my server slots filled, I feel like leveling one more on another server is just... meh

Unionhawk

Dwarves are pretty sweet

Nzall

Furthest I've gotten is level 40 or something like thta

Best race overall is Pandaren female though and I won't budge on that

Nzall

and that's with full heirlooms

sequoiad

@twobugs I would agree if Pandaren could be Druids

Nzall

2:37 PM

I guess I just don't care about the alliance-horde war that's so prevalent in many of the alliance storylines

Wipqozn

@fredley That's what your mom said

...wait

@fredley I'm basically a hero

@fredley Did you click your own link nad get trolled?

two bugs

@sequoiad I've been lobbying for this for years

Nzall

@Wipqozn one of our time?

sequoiad

basically I like any race than can be Druid. So Night Elves, Worgen, Troll, Tauren.

two bugs

If I do warrior though I'll probably play Tauren female because I like their dual wield animations better

Worgen are really goofy

Nzall

2:38 PM

In an entirely different topic: I still haven't figured out why my desktop PC sometimes won't react when I press the power button

two bugs

Worgen males look okay I guess but Worgen female is very, very bad

Son of a Sailor

@twobugs Worgen has the goofiest animations and armor looks awful on them

Nzall

I have done a bunch of things: replugged cables, shook it around to attempt to dislodge dust, waiting,...

Son of a Sailor

My first toon was a Worgen because they looked interesting and cool but I've stopped playing him because of the visuals

Nzall

it's to the point that I currently put my PC in sleep mode instead of turning it off

sequoiad

2:40 PM

I have a female Worgen Priest who actually looks quite good in cloth armour

Son of a Sailor

@Unionhawk it's fun to play, but the big struggle right now is catching up on 100 levels of content

If you want to just download the client you can see if your characters are still up

You only need a sub to play characters over level 20

Yuuki

I'm wondering if my characters are actually on a different account.

Nzall

If you haven't logged in since 7 december 2010, you might be forced to rename your character

Son of a Sailor

You really don't need to catch up on 100 levels of content, you might feel like you have to but when you get down to it all that matters is the current xpac

Yuuki

2:46 PM

Yeah, it doesn't seem like my Account History matches so I think it's on a different account.

Son of a Sailor

When I first started I thought I had to quest through all the zones, do the dungeons, etc until one of my friends told me to just get to max level and start exploring end game

Once you start messing around at max level you'll figure out what old content you want to go back and see

two bugs

But achievements!

Son of a Sailor

You can always go back and get them at max level

two bugs

I know, just joking

I knew someone who wouldn't move on until he had all of the achievements

He was a very strange guy

If I shoot Junkrat's tire with a sleep dart, does it stop moving?

murgatroid99

@StrixVaria Right. I don't think they do it manually. I think they use automated processes and user feedback

Tim Stone

@murgatroid99 That depends on whether or not all of the shitty ads would still get submitted if the people placing them knew that they'd get screened

@PrivatePansy Yeah, but it's interesting because that I'd like to know why they're ordered the way they are. Most common characters first?

@murgatroid99 There's no cost associated with that though

Yuuki

@TimStone Hmm... I brought some tea leaves back from China?

@twobugs Someone sent it to me. And I think Google's position is both far too late and ridiculous in how little they do

Tim Stone

I think the bulk of malware has been served up by other networks recently

(this was just a PUP, which is bad but requires someone to fall for it, so meh)

murgatroid99

@PrivatePansy In order to actually filter that ad, someone would have to discover that the owner of the domain does not own the trademark and does not have permission to use the trademark, and I don't even know how you'd verify that

Private Pansy

I mean, if adsense is intelligent enough to pair up a 'CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD NOW' scam button to a software downloads page...

Yuuki

4:56 PM

@PrivatePansy I figured since 张 is, I think, a more common character than 周 and yet the latter comes first when sorting.

StrixVaria

@murgatroid99 They don't manually review by default, but there is a manual review process in some cases.

two bugs

@PrivatePansy So you're blaming @murgatroid99 and @StrixVaria personally. Hmm... This rabbit hole keeps getting deeper

murgatroid99

@PrivatePansy I don't see how that is in any way relevant

I mean, putting "download"-related ads on a page that says "download" a lot seems pretty simple to me

Yuuki

@twobugs Well, I personally fault @murgatroid99 and @StrixVaria for Google not being our benevolent overlords yet.

So there's that.

Private Pansy

@Yuuki I blame them for doing self driving cars before jetpacks

It's 2016, where the heck is my jetpack?

Yuuki

Star Lord-style jet boots/mini-packs would also be appreciated.
