I can't tell you from personal experience because I'm still getting the same shitty performance and my highest character is level 4. Regardless, a game better improve from beta to retail otherwise the beta served no purpose. Especially one that was under NDA for so long.

Honestly, a lot of people are going to jump on the hater 'bandwagon' because they did try the game. One month, three months, six months ago. The game sucked. After betaing VG, it was honestly hard for me to buy the box. I wanted to give it a fair chance, but I know a lot of people wouldn't consider it after what they experienced of the game firsthand in beta. Bottom line is - its like EQ2. EQ2 now = great game. EQ2 in beta and for the first year after release = Awful. Maybe VG isn't awful right now, but its less-than-mediocrity has left a bad taste in a lot of mouths.

from what ive heard they literally pulled a miracle out of their asses
