Blizzard has updated the official Dark Heart patch notes with more details about the daily lockout for Mists of Pandaria content and BfA raid nerfs to improve soloing!
(Source)
Hello! We updated the Dark Heart patch notes with the following changes:
DUNGEONS AND RAIDS
The lockouts for the following raids in Mists of Pandaria content now reset each day, for both Dragonflight and WoW Remix characters: Normal and Heroic 10-player Mogu’shan Vaults, Heart of Fear, Terrace of Endless Spring, and Throne of Thunder. Normal and Heroic 10-30 player Siege of Orgrimmar Mythic 20-player Siege of Orgrimmar Raid lockouts will return to a weekly cadence after WoW Remix closes. Battle for Azeroth raid mechanics which block legacy encounter completion for small groups have been adjusted to be more permissive. Groups of five or fewer players should no longer be blocked by mechanics that cannot be completed at that raid size. -

WoW's next expansion is already full of amazing new features, but it might just have one more ace up its sleeve! The ability to change colors on, well everything really, has been one of the top community request since forever, and there are some hints that some form of a dyeing system could be in the works!
Prolific community dataminer keyboardturn has been poking away at the War Within Alpha sine it arrived, and today she's found a big one. Starting with a cryptic thread, she slowly unveiled her detective work:
Seems like a version of the gold/blue dress thing from a while ago, right? Not quite. As she says in the first tweet, there's a lot more to it:
And finally, the extremely excited conclusion:
This also isn't the only indication at a dye-related system appearing either. A much less indicative clue was found earlier on the Alpha as well, as the Azj-Kahet city of the War Within actually hosts some interesting NPCs, with not only dye vendors available, but also dye removers and a dyed fabric vendor as well:
Now, a version of this was already in the game for a while, but this is a significant broadening of it, as keyboardtun explains:
Seems like a lot of indications of something going on, right? Now, what exactly these vendors are for isn't exactly crystal clear. What exactly would we be dying? Could it be the extremely and infinitely asked-for gear dying? That seems a little less likely, especially right off the bat, as re-colored gear sets are very large part of WoW's transmog reward scheme. So what else could it be? Perhaps tailors will be able to craft specific and special pieces of gear that can be dyed? Or maybe this isn't even gear-related at all and there's a whole other system being added that this would be used for (*cough*housing*cough*)? Of course it also might just be an internal thing, unrelated to players at all, and the vendors are just for something else.
The tech does seem to be developed, but for precisely what purpose will remain a mystery until Blizzard reveal it. What would you want it to be?

The Remix limited time event arrives this Thursday May 16th, and Blizzard have prepared an overview video covering all its major features!
As Classic and retail players can dive in (as a Dragonflight expansion is not required), many players will be able to experience Pandaria once again, except with some major twists. All classes and specs are getting new abilities through various types of gems you can socket into the newly revised gear, everything can drop from everywhere, and there's even an awesome Bronze currency (which also drops from everywhere) which allows you to get a whole host of MoP mounts and transmogs!
There's a lot more to it as well, so let's dive in:

We finally have a full rotation of Awakened raids behind us! Amirdrassil is back and with it, very appropriately, the Fyr'alath wielders take over entirely. As usual there's plenty of movement all over the place with a new raid, as things look relatively similar to where we left them in Season 3.
Note: We are using Normalized scores instead of raw DPS for the Warcraft Logs rankings. The u.gg rankings at the bottom are raw DPS. Normalized scores take into account the outlier boss fights where certain specs could stack massive DPS (due to the nature of the fight, whether it's AoE spam or something else), which would then affect their overall score for the whole raid.
Mythic
Overall Damage 95th Percentile
Amirdrassil is very thematically on-point, as its own legendary axe, Fyr'alath, is very much dominating the standings. Unholy and Arms rule the very top, and only Arcane manages to pierce the axe boys to gran 3rd, with Retribitution breathing down its neck. This brings Unholy up to be best spec across all three raids, as former lead Frost Mage is way down around the middle of the pack here. Speaking of Frost, the DK version is on the move up as well, just below Assassination, with Shadow right behind it, as the Priest remains pretty stable throughout all three raids. Windwalker is back in the top 10 as well, joined by previous No.1 Devastation and its Vault partner Marksmanship. Subtlety and Survival make their way down to the bottom 3 to join Augmentation.
95th percentile Mythic data by Warcraft Logs.
Overall Damage All Percentiles
Things are even more on-theme in the generalist bracket, as all three top spots are taken by legendary axe wielders! Assassination is doing even better here, pulling in front of Arcane, with the tag-team of Marksmanship and Windwalker also doing some really good work. Affliction makes an uncommon appearance in the top 10, beating out Shadow for 7th, as two previous raid top dogs find themselves at the end of the top 10.
All percentiles Mythic data by Warcraft Logs.
Boss Only Damage All Percentiles
The top 3 is Fyr'alath dominated here as well, with Assassination and Shadow sticking to the top. Feral pops up pretty high, and we see Fire after quite a while, with Subtlety and Demonology finding their way to the bottom.
All percentiles Mythic data by Warcraft Logs.
Heroic
Overall Damage All Percentiles
Even the usually raid-agnostic Heroic is impacted by Amirdrassils love of Fyr'alath, as we see Arms move up 1 spot into 2nd and Retribution climb 3 in 3rd. Nothing can stop Arcane here, of course, with the short fights just being too perfect for the bursty spec.
All percentiles Heroic data by Warcraft Logs.
U.GG Raw Mythic DPS Rankings
U.gg's rankings are based on actual DPS taken from Warcraft Logs data, focusing on the top players and span the past two weeks. This chart is for Mythic only.
Its not the axe at the very top in the raw DPS chart, as Affliction returns to the No.1 spot, as it was in regular Amirdrassil. We do see two Fyr'alath enjoyers right after that, however, and the third one isn't too far away down in 6th. Demonology is the other big difference between the raw DPS and normalized, sitting in 5th as opposed to being in the bottom half above.
