Sorry if this thread was already made. I searched through a few pages, but didn't find it. If it is out there, I'll ask to move this post.
I really enjoyed the ESO Beta last weekend, and here are a couple of videos, along with a few thoughts:

Had some fun with the most recent ESO Beta Weekend (which was my first.)
I made two videos. One is the funny shenanigans people got up to during the last 25 minutes of the Beta. I cut it down to 3 minutes of the silliest stuff:

And in the other video, I show some of the gameplay, and share some of my thoughts (I apologize for the terrible sound mix, I forgot to turn the game sound down while recording.)

General Impressions:
The Good:
- I love the character creation screen, and the customization options.
- I think I'll really like the changes to the crafting system, once I've experimented some more.
- It looks much better than I expected.
- With some exceptions, everything seemed stable, and the gameworld appears to be in good condition.
- The combat is fun, and I look forward to seeing more, with other classes and weapons.
The Bad:
- There needs to be more tutorial content to explain some of the game mechanics, and crafting and such (and the bank, especially! I would have loved to have known about the bank on the first day.) The books are helpful, but there are a lot of little details that are easy to miss.
- It's a bit bare bones. There aren't a lot of quests per area. It's possible the Beta didn't have all the content for each area turned on, but otherwise, it only takes a few hours to clear one of the towns of available missions.
- The economy is pretty rough... I think items should sell for about 300 - 400 % more than they currently do, but I suppose as I learn money-making tricks, I might change my mind.
- I think I'd definitely like it to be easier to unlock the different crafting styles, but there may have been a way that I just missed, myself.
The Bugs:
- The starting tutorial gave me framerate problems, but I'm on a laptop, so no big surprise. It was a huge difference from the normal gameworld, though... I think the flame effects, in particular, were hard on my processor.
- There were many missions that were broken for everyone, but I'm sure these have been detailed and passed on.
- I have a few screenshots of some harmless graphics bugs, but I haven't found the folder they're in, yet! xD
