Basically, this is my gratitude list for the Patch. Add your items you are grateful for below! This thread is meant to be exclusively positive, to counterbalance my "Known Problems" thread. So keep it positive, please!
1. Firelight! Love it! Especially love slipping up on a camp at night and seeing the goblins dancing around the fire, with the light playing off of them. Kudos to the art team!
2. De-buff and Buff icons! Now we know what the baddies have hit us with and what we have hit them with! Woot!
3. Town maps! They don't show where we are in the town, but they show us where we need to go!
4. The escalation notification works all the time now! Yay!
5. Crafting!
6. New items in the nodes! It feels soooo much better running around to all the different nodes knowing that each time I am will be getting something different (especially the forest nodes).
7. Graphics seem better en general.
8. The Auction House is awesome. Maybe buggy still; but I love the way it is set up. Being able to post item quantities, then set an opening and closing price is nice. I also like that it charges "rent" for using it.
9. Extended play-test time! I feel a lot better knowing that EE is now at the end of October. It gives the devs more time to relax and get their work done in more optimal conditions and it gives us players more time to play before our actions and decisions start to matter more.
I'm pretty sure they swapped in a nice texture pack or something. Definitely improved look to the terrain.

The visuals in the game have grown crisp and clean. The running animation appears more natural. And I'm not completely sure, but I think I am seeing more grass on the ground. I think the environment is growing more whole in general. I hear more ambient sounds (though it is still terribly quiet an awful lot. But sometimes I think I can faintly hear my character's footsteps in the woods.

I do not interact at 2, 4, 6 as I play later that US and earlier that south pacific. I need to figure how to play earlier.
@sspitefire1 I do appreciate al the work you do pulling together the info that others have gathered. As I wander ALPHA, and see the differences of similar lands (Yew forest vs Oak forest vs Pine; vs HEMP; Copper mountains vs Iron; Carbon/Coal vs silver highlands; …)
