So what's the verdict on extinction?

[CAPTMEATSACK]

Took some time away from the game just curious on the new dlc.

Is it great? Meh? Just ok? Or chitty?

[Vesuvius]

In spite of the usual wc bugs... its a beautiful map.

[A Terrible Modder]

its ok, apart from the bugfest it is a small map (maby slightly smaller than scorched earth) but has alot to do

titans = game breaking gg doesnt matter how big your base is

[Gravetech(Kane)]

map dosent feel small to me, The safe places to build are small but outside of that the map seems rather fun from the singple player experance, pvp on the other hand i can see lots of people waring for safe spots.

(currently in city witch isnt bad tell a wild 150 deffence drone spawns and recks your low level gacha who was genning metal/pearls rip for me but i learned not to build on the ground.)

[CAPTMEATSACK]

Yeah I was reading a little and it seems like the map is rather small. I was a little surprised. My personal preference has always been the island. I wanted a new map like that but everyone seems obsessed with huge islands or rocky cliffs lol. Most of the map's you can never just venture out with any old dino. Always gotta have a bird

Extinction as a PVP map, not so good, cause the first tribe to get a titan....game over man
Extinction as a PVE map is fun, as the orbitals, element veins and meteor are cool.

I would like to see the weather events from SE added to Extinction. Sand storms, etc.

Element is a little too easy to get, but that King Titan, is insanely hard. We got him to 50% before wiping (tamed ice titan to burn him to 85%, then he is stunned until the element veins are destroyed or he gets to 50% health, we keep him stunned, use mek shield to protect the gigas from meteors and eat him down to 50%....after that, we wipe, have not worked out how to survive the last 50% yet.)

From PvE perspective, I really like it. OSDs are super fun, and the new dinos are amazing. I can already tell that PvP is terrible by just looking at it though.

two mega meks = alpha king titan dead

To summon the Alpha king titan, you need an item that drops of the Beta King Titan.
To summon the Beta King Titan, you need an item that drops off the Gamma King Titan.

You can not use any mega mek on the gamma or beta King Titan. So how did you beat those two so you could fight the Alpha? Sure, on a test server, we can easy kill the Alpha King Titan with 2 Mega meks. But how to kill the gamma or beta version where no mega meks are allowed?

ice titan

[Natjur]

The ice titan vs a gamma king titan will be dead before the gamma king titan is at 50% We did exactly that. We almost perfect tamed the ice titan, sent it on and got it to 85%, trigged the king titan stun, and then the element spawn, and we send in the meks with shield and giga etc and burned it to 50%, soon after that, the ice titan is dead.

We could kite it with the megs, the gigas just died...I have yet to see any video that does not have cheats where someone has beaten in on offical. The last 50% is the issue. Taming the other titans too and sending them in does not help much. Guess we will see if we can get all three at once

[alfredo.garzahdz]

It is indeed a very small map, with some areas that are definitely off limits until you can carry lots of water, food and have a powerful tame. like really powerful.
I logged in to Ragnarok to compare them in scope and yeah, the feeling is very different.
Where Ragnarok is expansive, Extinction seems almost claustrophobic in the city and snow biomes.
Also, there are not a lot of beautiful landscapes, in such an understandably apocalyptic setting, you would imagine that some areas would shine in contrast, but not even.
I love the new dinos, titans and game concept with the drops, but something is really not cutting it for me.
The game also is not rendering properly, I have now fallen and gotten stuck in a city structure while riding a ptera as it seems I was too fast for the game to render and that was it, I had to reboot. and nope, no cheats on the ptera speed, the game is not truly optimized. Same goes for PS4 version

[🦊 Hermit]

It's alright, but I gotta say I found it a little underwhelming when compared to Aberration or Ragnarok.

The new creatures, in particular, are quite a disappointment. Gasbag is fun to use, but not as versitile as many other dinos from other maps, and the velonosaur is powerful but only really useful long-range. And the rest of the creatures are largely forgettable - the megabananr in particular is a huge letdown, doesn't have nearly enough stamina to be in any way useful. The only creature that really catches my attention and is special enough for me to really want it on other maps is the scout drone.

The map is kinda cool - the city in partiuclar is nice - but I'm not all that into barren deserts and wastelands, and it doesn't have the same immersive atnosphere of Abs, nor the widely varied scenery of Ragnarok with it's many secrets to discover. It's not bad, but...meh...
