I really want to like Extinction but........

Ok I know some will not share my view but I am genuinely looking for help here. Ive played the game but cant seem to find something that grabs me and keeps me interested when playing Extinction. Dont get me wrong it is fun for a bit but as a PVE type Im not really sold on it. Examples of where I am struggling:

1. Went to the sunken forrest, man what a dissappointment, very few spawns of anything so not much point going there.
2. Went to Desert, a bit more fun but small and no real spawn areas, just everything everywhere.
3. Went to tundra, again fun for a bit but small.
4. The City, ok now this one gets me. Its relatively easy to get going but the only real danger is the rolling defender things and the enraged Megabeavers......

Right so thats the biomes covered now for the base building potential, I found no real attractive opportunities in the City. Only 1 semi interesting one in the desert. No point in the forrest. Tundra had a couple of potentials. Wasteland 2 potentials but I dont fancy losing my base to a metal eating corrupted dino especially as metal is so hard to come by.

So as I said I really want to like it but the balance doesnt seem to be quite right, to me this defo seems like a PVP only map. I really am not hating or anything here as I do genuinely love the game even with all the bugs but pls ppls help me out here, give me reason to love this map as much as The Island or Aberration......

wow its amazing that ppl actually put ab and ex ont the same lvl as island and rag IMO ab is one of the worst maps out i bought it spent less time i did on it the SE. The story line really killed this game why evole the world? If it was just left in the Jurassic era and expanded on that IMO we would of been left with a way better game No need for tek and robots

I like Abb, but it was nearly impossible without a tribe of three or more. :P

Forest is ideal base spot. I have always had to travel for spawns on other maps so don't see the problem. Building a castle on top of the lake, going to look sweet

I like it. After not being able to fly for so long on Aberration it's nice to break out the flier and have fun with them again. This is the first map where you actually can get everything you need in terms of resources in one place AND be able to do it solo without gouging your own eyes out. The city has perfect areas to build that are peaceful with events and encounters that are no joke to do legit. The map invites you to sit back in the city, take your time and engage with the events when you feel like it. It's made for PVE.

Extinct for PVE I think so too. Is it for solo players? I don't know, but I am curious if I can combine 3 Meks while playing solo to fight the Big Boss.

To my knowledge you can only form Voltron with other people. But you can summon an assembled one that will last for 30 seconds then self destruct.

Not sure Voltron was anime exactly, he kinda predates its worldwide spread. But even so, it's a bit of both now. Although again.. not sure I'm comfortable consolidating futuristic tech with anime.
