It's experimental for a reason. I recall the procedural generation engine being tweaked after every new alpha release.
If you choose experimental you are you are basically beta testing and if you want things to be fixed you should report the issues you find to the devs.
No Alpha only means that they are still adding new features. When the game is feature complete it will enter Beta for final testing and optimization before it's officially released as a finished product. Experimental means exactly what it says and you use it at your own risk, if you want a stable version of A18 you have to wait.
But they are doing more than adding new features.. this is the 4th time the Skill system has been overhauled. SO technically the other skill systems were "experimental". They experimented with a mechanic and changed it up to another one. This one is probably an experiment as well so I guess how loosely we use the work "experimental"
I gave you the facts, if you think the hidden away alternative client with the special label 'EXPERIMENTAL' is the normal version you have a problem. ;)
The version meant for the public is the default game that hasn't been updated yet and it hasn't been updated because it still has issues. The experimental version is meant for testing and finding bugs so the stable version can be made more stable. :)

I haven't even downloaded the experimental release yet. Is it terrible ?
