Bastion - Who enjoys it

[Whistlersmom]

Is it just me or is this game mode complete crap? Like who thought it was a good idea for forts to deal that amount of damage and having the ability to set fires from like 15 km away. Like did someone actually go "Y know what , lets add a 200k fort , spewing fire at people ,adds soo much depth" . Ah well ... Have anyone gotten detonated by a fort? 

[FaceFisted]

I like this game mode. It adds another layer of... brain usage to game play

 

[Whistlersmom]

Not sure I agree on that, for me it kinda takes away on the experience , like on hotspot, I was insta spotted , fort opens up and starts two fires. Also those surveilence stations seems to be near impossible to hit.  Either my shells tend to fly over them or hit the hill/mountain side they sit upon.

Who enjoys Bastion?

"Not I" said destroyer

Forts set me on fire

 

Who enjoys Bastion?

"Not I" says the cruiser

Those forts are a bruiser

 

Who enjoys Bastion?

"I" said the battleship, "please don't remove"

"At last I can hit stuff cos buildings don't move."

 

 

[FaceFisted]

If some of you had courage, you would find out that you can cap as DD if you some so close to fort that it starts to shoot over you.

 

As a cruiser you can set fort on fire and apply DOT.

[Humorpalanta]

This mode is just bad right now.

I don't question why DDs don't try to take them.

I was in my NC and had to cap cos DD won't - because instant death.

                                                       cruiser won't - 90% death.

                                                       BB won't cos let the other guy be in fornt i will spam from 25 km away.

 

So I cap that sh*t and the fort takes 70% of my HP (easy 5K volleys...)

And in the end I got basically nothing. No actual amount of XP or credit for actually saving the whole team and win the game.

THIS is the actual problem. There is just no reason to do this way.

They got OP health and rebuilding.

OP rounds and DPM.

Actually getting nothing for destroying them or capping them.

As I elsewere mentioned I highly like the idea of Bastion. In it's current state the forts are having to big an influence in the match though. With different mechanics this could be an awesome mode IMO. F.e. a capture the flag modus with a defending and attacking team. Giving the defenders less ships but forts and the attacking side more ships. Then it MIGHT lead to something. But now I think it's awefull.

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooobody!

[FaceFisted]

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooobody!

 

But that is not true. I really enjoy this game mode.

[Corvi]

I do. The only thing i dont enjoy is the potatos who have no idea what to play and parking their battleships next top forts and take that 10k dmg every few seconds because they dont bother destroying it ..

[CLyDeThaMonKeY]

I didn't mind bastions when it first arrived. But now the forts just kills everything around

[Ubertron_X]

 

But that is not true. I really enjoy this game mode.

 

Exceptions that prove the rule!

[Hedgehog1963]

Why are you 15km away from the fort and not capping??

[Ubertron_X]

This game mode is broken on so many levels it is unbelievable...

[ClappingLollies]

 

But that is not true. I really enjoy this game mode.

 

Make the gamemode optional, so FaceFisted and Corvi can play against each other. 

And the rest of us can skip it.

That would be awesome

The bastion got a kraken earlier today. I salute him for being an awesome player

[jure_eruj]

When I am unfortunate enough to fall in this stupid mode, I just leave the game. Something is seriously wrong with retarded game mode where forts get kraken all the time.

[Molybdane]

I like this move sofar. Maybe if it shows up more ppl would become better at playing it.

[Agantas]

Personally, I'd rather play domination mode instead of bastion.

One of my first Bastion battles I wanted to compliment the player 'Fort'

[Runner357]

Me too! WG plz put compliment option bastion plz

Capped a fort last night in my Iowa. For that, I first had to suppress the fort, twice, disregarding several enemy ships, then tank a massive amount of fire damage from those enemy ships (Hello, fellow Iowa who only uses HE shells), eat several CV torps because most of my AA guns had been shot off, while my team, including a DD, was continuously 5 to 10 km behind me and never even tried to support me at a closer range until they realised I might actually have been on to something.

 

Didn't even get a dreadnought for my 110k damage tanked because of the five ships shooting at me, only three had done damage. Even a Yamato had failed to lolpen me for once.

 

So, my main problem with Bastion is that you can get stuck in an endless loop of suppress fort - who caps? no one? - suppress fort - who caps? no one? - etc., until you get blown out of the water by the enemy ships, who can take you on at leisure. Unless you try and cap yourself, which offers absolutely no guarantee of success since you've just made yourself the juiciest target since that time a truckload of oranges was accidentally delivered to the local shooting range.

[Runner357]

I kinda feel like bastion could be ok if WG forced player to play together - and since they are closer to peace in the middle east then that I say remove it until teamwork exist in this game

[Spithas]

Where were you when we made polls before this mode was expanded in the last patch? And we had people that barely play above tier 8 telling us that it's a good mode....
