So today Telel spent a coupld of hours tooling about on the PTS. During that time they streamed most of their shenanigans.

They've also compiled a list of good and bad things. This being an internet forum they shall of course start with the bad.
THE BAD
1) The Akaviri motif costs a bit to much. Over 3 million AP, and another 50,000 for each style material is...irksome. Especially considering the obnoxious timing of placing the glass motif on the crown store, and how that's likely to be done with this one.
OTOH this means each recipe will likely be priced at the value rings of cyrodiil's light were going for...which would still be cheaper than glass recipes sold for.
2) Even the very first quest givers, and NPCs either still need their dialogue recorded or to have the right voice actors used for the same NPC.
3) Them cliffs, are real high. See 43:50-44:00.
4)Some physics issues need to be looked at 51:30-51:50
5) stamina and magika usage also seem to be higher than usual. Telel is not sure if they were just imagining it but their stamina just seemed to be draining far far faster than usual even though their regen was as high as it is on live.
6) Coul not check out the third crafting station. It either isn't there, or it's behind a phased instance requiring quest completion. 1:14:20 to 1:27
It's also resulting in an amusingly high body account due to issue number 3.
7) How the heck does khajiit pronounce Echatere?
THE GOOD
1) Make this one an Ech...whatever mount and take their money!
2) Make this one a pet for that and the pocket mammoth and take more of their money!
3) All the sets seen so far seem to have interesting uses while not encouraging the one tool for every job we had in the past. 56:40-57:30, 1-21:05-1:21:25, 2:07:36-2:08:00
4) The place is beautiful and so far there also seems to be more done to make the quests pop out when you're doing them. E.G: More NPCs staging events that help draw you in, and explaining what's going on.
5) Horkers, but no blackjacks.
6) The spawning of the vr115-16 harvestables seems to be just about right. If you look for them they're not super hard to get but not so common you'll have stacks within in an hour.
7) An enemy with javelins on his back? Possibly a sign of a future weapon or at least a cosmetic item for templars?
8) The bear mount and cub pet are both interesting and not as dopey looking as khajiit first feared.
9) Those world boss fights are going to be fun once you get to the dailies involving them.
10) The new looted items pop up on the UI should be handy
11)
