Initially loved Survival but now getting frustrated as hell with glitchy issues. BUT, my most annoying moments have come from playing today. Played a few times and engaged small (2-3) groups of NPC, only for another group (always been 3) of NPCs spawn in right next to where I am, proceeding to take me out in quick fashion. This has happened in the LZ and the DZ. I also noticed that I'm getting a "poor connection to host" message in the bottom left of the screen which I don't remember being there before. Are these related or am I just being unlucky??
My advice, if you see the 'poor connection' message just quit out and start again. The game is buggy enough without lag issues so playing with them is often just a headache. Worst example i had was invisible npcs. I could hear them, see their red-bar, but just not them so i had to guess where i was shooting. This being a massive game, as usual the npcs had perfect vision.
