They can get quite a bit done during alpha and beta testing.
I remember WAR had a massive revamp of it's combat system during the beta as it was slow to respond and the animations lacked any impact.
I remember WoW at launch completely redesigned the paladin class between the end of the beta and the launch. Of course this had been done without full testing and was spearheaded by a designer known to hate hybrid classes so paladins were pathetic for a period of about a year (lowest on DPS charts and worst healers).

My brother got on and he submitted his laptop specs (which is far from high end). Game barely runs on it but it doesn't appear they took his specs into account when granting him access.
Since transferred over to my new PC which is much more powerful (Intel Core i7, 4GB RAM although not a great GPU, Nvidea GT240) and whilst it runs better it's still nowhere near smooth. I presume this is down to it being unoptimised in its Alpha status. You also can't actually change any graphical settings yet either.
