While watching the TwitchCon2017 stream (for the second time, since I was busy listening to the commentary the first time) I was struck by the many pieces of information I was able to spot! It then occurred to me that perhaps others may have missed these!... or perhaps spotted items I did not?
If you mised it, here is the link:

While I have listed my observations, I have not followed them up with analysis ... yet.
Please feel free to post anything I missed, or your analysis for what we saw!
Evoras, is always trying to solve puzzles ...
EDIT: Updated information presented by posters
Thanks for doing this Evo. I knew I could count on you haha. I have been way too busy with my own post-TwitchCon projects.
I think, aside from the Pre-Alpha announcement, the main thing that the community hadn't seen before was the character select/character creation screens, if even just briefly. I know a lot of people would like a more in-depth breakdown of that. :)
4. Even better, it's worth noting that clicking "Take All" will automatically equip all you gear as it was when you died.
8. I can confirm that Wizards do currently have a Spirit of the Wolf line of movement speed buffs. It can be cast on any ally, not just yourself.

4. Corpse Looting:
a) Corpse appearance is that of a skeletal version of your raceWhere in the stream did it show a non-human dieing to verify this is accurate?
I thought one of the three corpses at [4:29] was non-Human and looked shorter! It was/is hard to be sure, what with foreshortening effects of looking down/across ... but the names seemed to not be his Human ones. Better eyes than I may be able to find the truth!
Evoras, suspects he spends too much time looking at corpses...
" c) Virulent Tempers [Combine water and animus banes to to inflict nature damage (145-160)]
g) Black Smoke [Combine Fire and Wind banes to slow (20%) an enemy for 60 secs] [14:27]"
At first glance, I thought this may be interpreted as "combinining water/fire/wind elements" may give an extra effect, but it appears the elements are simply listed as a simple description, which could hint that certain mobs will be a lot more resistant to various kinds of slows (I remember slow getting resisted on bosses or named mobs, but I don't remember them listing elemental details like this in the old EQ slows or is my memory just rusty?).
I am hoping that corpse retrieval is accompanied by /loc not just a light. If you are lost in a large forest../loc is helpful at least to get you to the area where you assume you died. Then the light over the corpse would beckon you to the exact spot. :)
And thanks again Evoras for your helpfulness, I really do need to get back and listen to the stream again, I have a bad habit of being detoured by the scrolling chat..every time ..due to being interested in the reactions of those that aren't currently signed up for Pantheon. :)

It's possible to frame advance through any video, and you can capture anything on your desktop with free software, so if it's shown for even one frame, you can get it all. :)

Level 50, 24 minute buffs and 1 minute slows.. No thanks...

Not something to read much into this early into development. Numbers are probably all over the place, and plenty of abilities are likely missing, end up being scraped or reworked completely.
What we can take away from this though, is the type of abilities and buffs we can expect from the Shaman class. Nothing particularly unexpected with DoTs, stat buffs and debuffs, but cool nonetheless.
