Last beta weekend there was only a single sword on the table.
For most beta weekends a large range of weapons were available, however people kept being stupid and choosing the wrong weapon so the devs thought it simpler to start everyone off with a basic melee weapon.
The newest build gives you a few melee weapons to pick up, and you're supposed to be able to find other weapons via looting in coldharbour.
Melee weapons first just to get you out of there, then you can get to your preferred weapon, I know it tough when the bow is your first weapon of choice.
During Beta's I always resemble Katniss Everdeen at the start of the Hunger Games running towards her bow.
Been here since Feb 2014 - You'd think I'd be half reasonable at this game by now...
