I’ve seen the magazines in several military bases, never seen the weapon.

Axes, blades, hatchets, shovels, sledgehammers and the lot are damaging or dulling way to quickly. I cut a couple trees down, open a few cans and my axe goes from Pristine to Ruined in a matter of minutes? I mean I know the melee weapons got to wear out eventually but it seems a little to quick or is it just me?

I know it is only Beta, to start off on a positive note, like Arma, Dayz is visually stunning. I want to believe the game has all the potential in the world, but now here comes my hammer. The bugs are horrendous, can't pull a magazine out of a weapon unless you have and extra mag, clipping with hair from basic headwear goes right thru, nighttime you can't see anything even with torches, flashlights, light sources, obviously the sickness and illness system will come but what is the point when half the stuff doesn't work, you can't even craft a fishing pole with a rope and longstick, let alone make a bow, the choices are so limited on what you can craft, there isn't much in terms of versatility. The weapons seems so lack luster compared to the Alpha version where did they all go? Where is the theme music? Spruce it up, make me feel some friggin terror instead of yawning most of the time. There are no where near enough zombies, it often seems desolate, sure when they have numbers they can hurt you, but there is no rewards for risks so why even fight them? When you do fight zombies, it boils down to fighting them one on one. I usually just shut a door in a house and take them out one at a time. They don't crawl thru windows, pound down doors. When I usually die, it's because they warp all over the place, get stuck halfway thru the ground, randomly spawn in mass, it's generally the bugs. There are no interesting, horrifying or challenging experiences with the zombies at all. They are generic, boring and have no special twist. The wiping out of zombies often seems repetitive, they are all one in the same. You can't set booby trap or do anything unique to change it up and when you do take on large groups and finish them all, often a Player will come finish you when your depleted and exhausted and you ask yourself, why did I even fight the zombies, I should stay and just hide. There seems no end game or place to go with your player, gather your gear, die, rinse and repeat, I don't develop any attachments to my characters at all. When they die I just start over and once I've horded some basic gear, I find myself bored with nothing to do.
