The scariest thing is the UI was worse in Beta. I kid you not. It was almost straight out of Diablo. COMPLETELY command-switch based. No buddy list. No chat buttons. Etc. Etc. Etc.
I was amazed to see the difference in the UI upon release. Granted, Guild Wars is a shining example of how to do a UI, but compared to Beta, this is leagues better.
As for things not getting fixed during beta... "Beta is at least three weeks behind internal builds." "We're working hard to fix things in Single Player first." Etc. Etc. I don't think their priorities were in the right place, honestly (circa Diablo, yes, SP should have been their main focus. Circa today? Not so, IMHO). Oh well. It is what it is, and I'm sure it will improve. It's all just a matter of how much, how long, and our patience.
