New Mode: Bastion

[Brynd]

Please give us your feedback on this new game mode. We'd like to hear it! 

 

[Lolisankyu]

Would be good to have this mode enabled in lower tiers battle - at least 6-10 or 7-10

[Fionia_DK]

I have been playing a lot of T 8-10 today and I havent been on the map yet.

[Frost89]

please add it also to mid tier games!

[Majorlook_1]

Does the game mode exist..!!

[Ajabaia]

I have played more than 25 games.......and still not had this "Atkantic"-map on my screen.

How do I activate "Bastion"-play?

[Darkanax]

You put a game mode that sounds interesting but yet we can NOT play it! I tried with t10, played over 10 battles but still no bastion.

Why do you do this to yourself (and us) ?

[TheCinC]

As it is now, Bastion badly needs an explanation.

I love it. People still don't know how to play the map, but it is fun. 

 

Had a good laugh at a Shima who was detonated by the fort.

[DasTongle]

I been to that map twice, and Bastion mode is really not much fun, as a destroyer the autoaiming guns get way to many easy hits and finish you up to quickly, it also does not entice ANY movement forward after the capture and the best part you get no damage or any reward while shooting at the fortresses that just makes it an obstacle that is neither enjoyable nor fun.

i play only t8 games 

i played a lot tody but did not ty it

[alkiap]

Played quite a few T10 matches but have not seen it yet. Perhaps chance of playing Bastion mode should be increased?

[KHETTIFER]

I managed to get my Atago into a Bastion game last night, all i can say is i really hope to see a LOT more of this game mode.

[Ferry_25]

Very cool!! Awesome!! Wonderful!! Only... where are they?? I haven't met a single 1 of them. More rare than CV's I guess....

[aquiles7389]

When sailing close (5km) to a radar station (at the tip of a mountain) is impossible to aim it as the cannon angle cant rise a lot.

Please add an option to fix this.

I've only been in one game, and the xp was crap all over the board. Top got around 1200, I think, and most under 1000, and that's in the winning team. I've never seen anything close to that in a T10 battle. I got barely above 500, and that's with one cap and at least a little damage on other DDs. I've gotten better results after being detonated in the first salvo.

[Runegrem]

It's only tier 10, why exactly? That seems like it just excludes most players for no good reason.

Gameplay itself seems fine though, it's like domination but with a little extra going on. But like mentioned, you can't raise your guns high enough to aim at the installations in the mountains.

 

Also, xp seem far to low. It's like a tier 10 game with tier 4 xp or something. Or maybe coop, but I haven't played that in a long time.

 

[DragonstrikerOrigin]

I like this game mode because it gives also the possibility for the own team more freedom because now a single DD can not just sneak from behind you just get more capture points.

 

So i would appreciating it if this game mode would be spread to more maps and also to some mid tier matches as well because its actually more challenging then most other maps.

[over_watch]

so iplayed this mode

 

i like it but the lignes on the minimap are too much

Why do you give us a new game mode and then "hide" it by making it ultra rare?

 

I've played dozens of tier VIII - X games since the patch and got this map ONCE in a Taiho game a few minutes ago...

 

Imho the game mode is quite interesting, why hide it like this?

It really bothers me aswell...you can't expect players to test something if they can't get to test it..at least put it on 2 or 3 maps

[it3llig3nc3]

Honestly I did not had a lot of Tier X battles due to being busy with my limited time playing RANKED but what puzzles me is the fact that the game-mode is hidden in the highest Tier with 10% chance. Considering that one battle lasts 15-20 minutes it says statistically you get one in every 1.5-2 hours.... that is way too low to start the learning curve to understand the strategies and start appreciating this mode.

 

to me it looks more like a PRIZE mode for high tier players than a battle mode to flavor strategical decisions.

 

This mode should be in the Tier VI-VIII games with approx 30-40% chance, with maybe an "opt out" button for players in the config if they really start hating it... By doing this WG may be able to collect enough valuable information about the mode.

I'll repeat my post from another thread. Do not like it. Not one bit. In gameplay terms it creates a positive feedback loop.

 

Whomever gets the forts and whatever else first doesn't just have a score advantage racking up points, but they in effect get extra players with the forts themselves taking part in the battle.

 

In terms of actual gameplay, whenever someone gets a zone and gets a fort, the enemy team see a still target. Whether or not it delivers points is immaterial, it's a pure shell magnet and everyone on the enemy team start raining shells on it and ignoring the enemy ships.

 

I might be completely wrong, but I've not seen a single Bastion game which wasn't a total one sided roflstomp. It needs to be redesigned somehow, because as it is now it is just the same as grabbing caps with yet more advantages given to those who get the caps, even they already have the advantage in the vanilla game.

 

I'm not a moaner or a malcontent. I love the overall WoWS game to bits. But if you are going to keep bastion as it is can you at least give us the option to opt out of this gametype as you do with gametypes on WoT?

 

[lup3s]

Had my first game of Bastion tonight and it seemed quite imbalanced (for reasons stated in the post above).

 

Not a single ship was sunk on the enemy team and even half our team was still alive when the match ended.

Even though the Bastion game mode is quite rare (I've only had it once after all), I would also like the option to choose to not get this game mode.

[GoT_PcDealer]

Haven't got it even once.
