the guild im in doe old school on fridays, we cleard MC/Naxx in one night, was actually more attendance then the 80 raids

and im trying to save for the 5K mount/riding, farming aganst people with it is a nightmare

One more point which is more of a server side issue. It's a shame all people seem to care about is level 80 raids. It's hard to find a group for any instance below 80. I feel its a pity. But this isn't Blizzards fault, its the people obsessed with raiding. I've never raided before, so maybe that's why I don't get what all the fuss is about. Anyway, rant over.

Currently, you can get a flying mount at 70. You need to pay 800g for the flying skill and however much for the mount itself. for some who mine everyday, do raids and have alot of gold floating about its not a problem. But when your like me, a casual gamer who has no more than 200g in my pocket at one time, its a struggle. If getting to that figure of 1000g is bad enough, you then have to fork out a further 1000g just to fly the mount you paid for in Northrend. Which to be honest leaves a nasty taste in my mouth. They seem to give you mounts when you don't need them. I could have done with a flying mouth when I was level 61 getting around to quests but they give it to me when I'm done. Now I made it to Northred I find it annoying that I can't flying without paying out another 1000g. What makes things more annoying is even if you did have the cash you still can't do it until level 77. Can someone explain this to me? Why the extra 1000g?

Only doing HFP, Zangar, Terrokar, 10 quests in Nagrand and 10 in SMV. I made over 1.2k gold which was enough to get cheap flying skill. Moved right into Northrend where you can't fly right away as they won't you to experince the zones (stated this in an interview). Between Fjord, Boring Tundra, Dragonblight, and Grizzly hills. I made well into 3k gold (vendoring everything and the random BoE drops that happen) which paid for Cold Weather Flying. Between Zul'drak and Sholar Basin made over 2k gold which netted in Epic Flying and the mount. Add in the 11 dailies I'm currently doing (Frenzyheart and Tournament) which is about 200-300G and the fact I still need to do Storm Peaks and Icecrown, those two zones alone will net me probally into 3k. Gold isn't hard to come by at all.

Then what am I doing wrong? I quest, get maybe 5/10 gold for that, might get a drop or two and sell that for 5g. Still that adds up to about say, 200g. Still not enough. So a serious question, what am I doing wrong? I just quest and sell everything I don't need and I still make sweet FA. If im missing something I would like to know.

What level are you? Buying a flying mount is worthless until level 77 when you can use it. By then you should have made 1000 gold from quest rewards. If you dont have the extra gold after buying the mount for cold weather flying you're granted a "loaner mount" for storm peaks and icecrown. Basically use this mount while doing dailies in icecrown(they reward between 12-24g each) and boom, cold weather flying.

Im a 71 death knight. I also feel I'm missing out when It comes to raids. I read so much that you need the right gear, right this right that, no ****ing about. So I don't apply to the requests. In other words, I feel slightly...under dressed for the raid. It's a shame since I've never been on one.

Dont worry about raids yet, you've got 9 levels to go. :p And yes you cant just wear any piece of gear that you find. Depending on if you're tanking or DPSing you want these stats:

DPS

Strength

Hit Rating

Critical Strike Rating

Armor Penetration

Expertise

Attack Power

Agility(Somewhat)

Tank

Defense Rating

Parry

Dodge

Stamina

Armor

Expertise

Agility(somewhat)

It's important to note DK's, Paladins, Druids and Warriors get 2 ap for 1 strength, and it stacks with Blessing of Kings so thus it's better than pure AP. Agility gives tiny amounts of armor, dodge, and crit. Some plate gear will have it but not alot of it. As for gemming you want 16 strength gems for dpsing and 24 stamina for tanking.

When you get to 80 you can run heroics and get geared for Naxxramas. Pretty simple but time consuming. Alternatively PvP gear can help to fill in those dps gear void spots you have but dont consider it a replacement for pve gear.

Should also pick up the addon Sellfish. It tells you the vendor price of all items including quest rewards. So if there isn't any upgrade for you from that quest you can pick which everone gives the most gold. Like at max level the quests are giving anywhere from 12-16G a pop and some rewards sell from 5-16G to a vendor. :)

So I just started a Warlock, but I'm having a tough time finding any leveling information that is in agreement with anybody else. Some say Demonology is the best while others say Affliction. Looking through the talent trees, they both look nice, so I'm torn as to what to go with.

Does anybody have any suggestions? Talent builds to follow? I'd like to level this guy as fast as possible with as little downtime as possible (I hate sitting and drinking unless I just died or got out of a really tough situation... it really kills my mood).

Wow, quite a big change there in cost for the lower tiers. I'm assuming Cold Weather Flying will still be 1k as well.

EDIT: Holy crap, I just noticed the flight speed of the expert mount. DO WANT.

My lock is 66 atm, Totally leveled as Affliction, I tried Demonology out but my pet was just killing things and it was just boring standing back. I like being able to take a beating while sucking their life.

I like how they ARE making it slightly easier for lowbie players to get around..... but not enough temptation to spend time playing

Guess I'm getting old..

I used to be just like that about Diablo I, II & LoD.

My friends and I would talk about it throughout the day at school, and I'd want to play it so bad.. then when I got home and logged in, it wasn't fun.

Thanks. I've heard Imp. Drain Soul is fantastic for leveling... Anything to get extra mana is great. Is there a specific reason you decided to skip over it?

    • A review of Synology's BeeCamera software for the BeeStation Plus

      By Fezmid · Posted

      A review of Synology's BeeCamera software for the BeeStation Plus by Christopher White Synology is leaning into the BeeStation and the BeeStation Plus, and it's easy to understand why. While power users will want something more customizable, the BeeStation and its more powerful sibling, the BeeStation Plus, are great for those who want a device they can simply plug in, click a few buttons, and have it work as their own personal cloud. Until recently, the device was mostly used for the storage of files, photos, and videos, and with the Plus model, you could install and stream media through Plex. Synology recently released a new free application for the BeeStation Plus called BeeCamera, which is basically a stripped-down version of Surveillance Station. First, let's get the confusing naming out of the way. While you might initially think that BeeCamera is a physical device, perhaps a camera that Synology created specifically for the BeeStation Plus, that would be incorrect. BeeCamera is simply the name for the application that runs on the NAS and on your mobile device. I think the marketing team missed the mark here, but it does fit the other naming on the device, like BeePhotos and BeeFiles, I guess. Camera Support As of right now, only Synology-branded cameras are supported, which many will see as a callback to the drive locking the company implemented and then backtracked on. That said, while I 100% disagree on drive locking, I agree that camera locking for a device made to simply plug and play is the right decision. The whole point of the BeeStation line is simplicity. There are currently three camera model lines available, a wireless device for indoor use, and two PoE models for external use. CC400W (Wi-Fi): Plug it into power using the included power adapter, and connect it to your wireless network. This camera is rated only for indoor use and is the one I was provided to review the BeeCamera. $198.36, in line with the Unifi G6 Compact. BC510 (PoE): A bullet-style camera. Connect it to an Ethernet cable that is providing Power over Ethernet (PoE). This camera is rated for both indoor and outdoor use. $240. TC510 (PoE): A dome-style camera. Connect it to an Ethernet cable that is providing Power over Ethernet (PoE). This camera is rated for both indoor and outdoor use. $240. Although this isn't a review of the actual Synology camera, I did want to note that a positive for the Synology CC400W is that it uses a magnetic base. This means you can mount it on any magnetic surface, which is pretty handy. However, a downside to the camera is that it's powered by a built-in USB cable that's about six and a half feet (two meters) long. This means that the cable will probably be either too long or too short, but more importantly, if the cable is damaged at all, you'll likely need to buy an entirely new camera because there doesn't appear to be a way to replace it, unlike many competitors, like the Unifi G6 Instant. Hopefully, this is something Synology addresses in a future revision of the hardware. The BeeStation Plus supports up to four cameras. Setup The setup of BeeCamera is, like everything in the BeeStation family, very straightforward. Simply make sure you're on at least version 1.5 of the BeeStation OS, and BeeCamera is automatically installed on the device. BeeCamera Setup Screenshots Setting up the CC400W was just as easy. Plug it in, open up the BeeCamera app, and follow the on-screen steps to add the camera. During this process, you'll configure the camera name and how many days of retention you want to keep. The system will also automatically update the firmware for you. The whole thing took only a couple of minutes, excluding the time it took for the camera to update the firmware. Once the camera is connected to the BeeStation Plus, you can manage the various camera settings within the app, although there aren't many to choose from. You're able to configure whether the microphone will record audio (some privacy laws may preclude you from recording it), select what codec to use (H.264 or H.265), configure the color and exposure of the camera, and determine what data you want to overlay onto the video. Finally, you can set up AI detections so that BeeCamera will alert you if it sees certain things. These are all of the common detections you would expect in a camera system, such as people, pets, and vehicles. Under people and vehicles, you can also add extra monitoring for lingering and congestion detection, although pets are currently in "Lab" and therefore have no extra features yet. Recording in 4K using H.265 for 30 days will take roughly 300 GB of storage, which is very reasonable for most regular households, as the BeeStation Plus has 8TB of native storage. If you want to set up detection zones, you can. These are areas that BeeCamera will look at for the various detections, and are helpful if, for example, there's a tree in your frame and you don't want to be notified each time the wind makes the branches move around in the frame. Finally, you can also schedule when the camera should and should not be recording, which is a very useful feature. For example, you may want to record only at night when you're sleeping, but not during the day when you're up and about the house, so you can easily shut the camera off between 8 am and 10 pm. Each hour of each day can be configured to record continuously, only upon a detection event, or disabled completely. You can't fine-tune to record at a specific time, though, only hourly blocks on the hour. Daily Use The best part of BeeCamera is that it's easy and just works. If you only care about being notified when things happen, the mobile app sends those notifications and lets you click the button to bring up the video and see what's going on. For example, when I went out of town and had the camera pointed at the cat tower in our hallway, it was nice to be able to drop in and check that my furry friends were doing okay without me. Initiating the remote connection to the BeeStation Plus through the app is very responsive, but this will heavily depend on your ISP. In my case, using Xfinity, I'm able to go from starting the app to seeing live video in roughly three seconds, which is about the same amount of time it takes to connect to my Unifi UNVR system that costs much more. If you want to see footage from a specific day and time, you can do so using the calendar icon. You can also scroll through the timeline, looking for detections that are labeled in blue (vs. the normal gray when there's nothing of interest). There are buttons that let you go to the last/next detection on the timeline, which is helpful if you missed the notification on your mobile device. That's where the ease of use stops, though. While you can download clips that are flagged by detection, there's apparently no way to select generic time frames you're interested in, and the only place to download is to your phone. In addition, sharing a video shares the actual video, not just a link back to your BeeStation Plus. While that's good from a security and privacy perspective, it's a little awkward for sharing large videos. Limitations While the ease of implementation is great, there are some things that are lacking from BeeCamera. The most obvious is that there is no way to view the footage on the desktop. You can log in to the BeeStation Plus to see how much storage BeeCamera is using, but unlike BeePhotos and BeeFiles, there is no BeeCamera on the web console to manage or view footage. This means you'll be viewing all of your security footage on your mobile device, which is pretty limiting. In addition, there's no way to download the video to your PC without first using your phone as the intermediary. The one exception to this is that you can use BeeFiles to see the raw MP4 files. They're saved in 5-minute increments, and it's just raw data with no detection information or any other way to identify what any of them are. The lack of a way to interact with BeeCamera on the desktop also makes configuration of the cameras more difficult. For example, trying to set up detection zones using a tiny screen and your finger to draw boxes is more cumbersome than it needs to be. This reinforces the idea that BeeCamera is not made for power users. It's also missing some of the more advanced functionality of Surveillance Station. For example, I couldn't find a way to say, "Alert me if the thing in this zone is no longer there." Another major deficiency with BeeCamera, and a feature I suspect may come out in the future, is that while it can detect generic people, there is no specific facial recognition yet. This is an interesting omission, given the fact that other Synology tools can detect specific individuals, and competitors such as Unifi Protect also do it. This is probably a software limitation, so we will have to wait and see if this feature is added in the future. Conclusion If you need a security guard to monitor surveillance cameras to make sure your property is secure, then BeeCamera is not the solution for you. That said, you probably wouldn't be using a BeeStation Plus as the brains behind the system either. BeeCamera (and BeeStation in general) is clearly aimed at households that want to avoid sending personal data to Google and Amazon, and now want to add some cameras to keep an eye on their home and their pets while they're away. BeeCamera excels at doing this. The target market isn't interested in creating cases, tying multiple views together in a single pane of glass, or the like, and for the intended use case, the system works great. Where it starts to fall apart a bit is with more advanced features. Not being able to use a desktop app is a major compromise in my opinion, and having to do all of the configuration on a mobile device is annoying, but not impossible. If you don't want to have a full-fledged NAS device in your home, but still want control over your data (or maybe want an easy way to backup your data for World Backup Day), and want to add a couple of cameras to keep an eye on your house and your pets, this is a great, cheap, and easy way to go, and I suspect more functionality will come over time. If Synology releases a desktop app or at least a way to configure cameras and view footage on a desktop browser, this would be a near-perfect solution for a general home user.

    • Why you need to take back control of your synced passwords and how to go about doing that

      By +Good Bot, Bad Bot · Posted

      The concern of this article is not getting "hacked". No one is taking over my Google account and anyone that was is far away from self-hosting their passwords. It was about your big tech account of choice deciding to reduce features or getting out of the password manager business altogether. Bitwarden (or say Proton) is professional security company offering opensource solutions. They are going no where and one can easily download or export their passwords to another password manager service regardless. They again also offer self-hosted option. I doubt many people were sold on this solution based on the write up. The author had a number of warnings and caveats themselves. A local, self-managed solution is not for 99% of users.
