Yeah, my only complaint about zombies atm in experimental is their ability to one shot you when you are fully energized/hydrated/healthy. It happened to me two days ago while wearing all pristine gear (including a motorcycle helmet) & I was one shot by a zombie. Alright, freak incident, I forget about it & move on. Well, yesterday, while moving in to loot Balota AF, I was once again one shot by a zombie while in full pristine gear. It also made no foot step sounds, no growling noises, nothing. I had scouted the area while running & saw ZERO zombies & killed any I came across. Of course, while scouting out the AF at first, I get hit and my screen goes colorless. I freak out thinking I'm being shot & immediately run. Before I could even get away, I get hit one more time & I was dead. I checked my status to see if I was bleeding after the first hit & I was fine. Frustrating to say the least.

Awesome, thanks for confirming.

Cool, thanks for confirming. Looks like I will be searching for a battery tonight. What about the pistol supressor? I haven't been able to test it on EXP yet, to see if it actually works now.

Totally disagree with you. The sawed off is my go-to weapon when going inside buildings, so good.

Spent 3 days searching for one on EXP & finally found one last night. So in EXP I need a battery for it to work? Haven't actually attached & tested it out yet. Literally got shot & he ruined my FNX45 before I got the chance to use it lol.

They didn't provide one. As for "when" this will be pushed to stable, I'm guessing 2-3 weeks. The rubberbanding, floating loot near the new city & the servers just generally not performing as well on exp, makes me think it'll take a good amount of time to fix. That being said, if you get the chance, check out EXP. Even with the rubber banding, it's a ton of fun.

Rubber banding didn't seem to be as bad yesterday, as it was the day before. Still a big annoynace though, even when trying all the suggestions of walking slowly, etc to avoid it. Having a big problem with items disappearing for long periods of time though & also appearing way away from where I actually dropped them. IE: dropped a backpack on the floor in a barracks, it appeared on the ground about 100 ft away, outside of it.

Yup, I cooked 8 pieces of deer steak on a fire last night & all of them were perfect, no burns. Basically you need to actually sit there & watch the meat cook & pay attention. Too early & it's raw, too late & it's burnt, both results in being sick. I made a fire in a little shack in the middle of the woods somewhere. Put the meat on the fire, watched it turned red & just paid attention. I'm guessing in the 6-8 minute mark (totally guessing as I didn't pay attention to time) they should be ready. What I did was keep the inventory window open & swapped the steaks around the slots after 5+ minutes until I saw that they were cooked. Once they are cooked the icon changes & you can put it in your inventory. Not sure if you need to move the steaks around to update the status, to show they are cooked, but I did it anyways as that's what seemed to work.

Lol I AFK'd for 5-10 mins twice yesterday & was worried the entire time. Thankfully I have a wireless headset, so I listened while I was cleaning my place but those damn audio glitches were freakin me out. EVery 15-30 secs I would heared a Zed or a gun reloading & it would cause me to rush back to my computer. Lesson learned: Just log out.

Oddly enough I haven't been KoS'd yet in 30-40 hours of Stable. However, played EXP for 4 hours last night & was KoS'd twice within the first hour lol.

I bought the game about 4 days ago & I think I have about 35-40 hours logged so far (went hard as I was off work for a week). My first kill was about 10 hours into the game or so, on my first day. I had gotten quite geared, had a SKS & headed up to the NEAF. It was a low pop server (as I wanted to get used to the game), so I headed to the barracks beside the ATC tower & heard someone drinking upstairs as I entered. I pulled my SKS out, aimed down the sights & slowly peaked around the corner. I wasn't expecting to see him at the top of the stairs (thought he was in the room being safe) & I guess we both startled each other. He fired, I fired & when the dust settled, he was dead & I was bloody. I tried saying sorry over the mic, as he scared the crap outta me, but he was already dead. I've gotten used to being a LOT more cautious now.

Just got the game a four days ago, so I have a feeling I haven't had the KoS banditry engrained into my brain yet, but so far I have been incredibly friendly. Haven't held anyone up & anyone I've had the jump on, I usually say hello & ask if friendly before I show myself. Although I did KoS a few people in the new town yesterday on experimental. I had already been shot twice in the back, as a fresh spawn though, so I was getting tired of being nice.

Don't know exact directions, as I just got the game 4 days ago, but it's northwest of Svetlo. I spawned in Svetlo, followed the railroad west & came up on. Pretty hard to miss considering how absolutely MASSIVE it is. Don't forget there's two new cities though, the huge one and a smaller one close to it. Can't remember exact direction.

EXP was pretty good but the rubberbanding made it near impossible to play. I toughed through it and logged about 4 hours but it was alright. Didn't get the chance to fish but the new fireplace is cool although semi-useless atm as there's more than enough food to find & eat, without having to cook. I also never saw a single animal that they added, weird. The new town is absolutely MASSIVE though, especially the industrial complex area. Not sure if spawns are messed there though, as about 50% of the places I went, all the loot was floating in mid-air & after a fresh server restart, there was literally 0 loot inside an entire police station, bizarre.

They added the new weapons/ammo/clothing spawns into the changelog, I believe.
