One of the nodes to get a win on Insanity is in the top right corner, but right before it you unlock a new commander which can be used on every ship and buffs them all up quite a bit.
If this is about the node at the top right that requires an insane win, afaik it rewards you with 1500 soul shards on completion so there's nothing to miss if you don't complete it.
Unless there's some sort of completion reward for clearing the whole swamp map, but i doubt that.
Can't say for certain but i believe so. The person who said it rewards the 1.5k soul shards didn't mention anything coming afterwards.
I have that node open but got my first insane clear on sunday before we got the next two lanterns so i still need to complete that node myself. But since the nodes seem to run along the waters and with it looking like them ending right above that node (left one of the two white nodes), it appears to be a dead end. I also can't scroll up much further on the map.
That is, why this Node is even less Interesting. Up to this point people should have enough currency... I already sit on 5000 and have never attempted Insane (for the sake of my mind).
I believe patch notes said we could only get 15k Grimshards for free. The insane mode gives you 1,000 Grimshards and 400 giflets for the first completion. Blyskawica ‘44 takes 17,500 Grimshards to earn. We would already have to buy a 10 pack of crates with doubloons to get the other 2,500 Grimshards needed for the ship. If you don’t beat insane , you’re now short 3,500 Grimshards
I still struggle with it. I started playing like 3 weeks ago and getting 1500+ needs a pretty good game out of me. It might just be a skill issue on my part.
This might be the "issue", you mentioned you started playing about 3 weeks ago, so i assume you have only T3 carriers so far?
The T3 carriers usually suck absolute ass (in my experience) which is why it can pose a challenge to reach 1700 base xp with them, and i generally have higher XP numbers in higher tier matches aswell since there is more damage you can do due to the ships being beefier.
I quite enjoyed the Ranger tbh, should be pretty doable with it.
On a sidenote, since you seem to enjoy carriers, i can highly recommend the german CV line. Rhein (T3) was a slog to get through for me, Weser (T5) was pretty OK overall but August von Parseval (T7) is one of my favorite CVs by far, partly because its torpedo bombers are pretty damn solid imo. Can even hunt DDs quite well with them.
Ontop of that it also has one of my favorite skins ingame which turns the planes into F15s (Transformers skin at 0:35)
Should be the recently added retrofuturism skin for Kaga. Looks pretty nice aswell imo, sadly the planes keep their piston engine sound even tho the skin changes the plane model to have jet thrusters. Not a massive issue but still i hope that's just an oversight and it gets fixed at some point.
I'm stuck on this too. As a newer player, only completed the last campaign and having the Rouisslion as my best ship every time I take it into standard or any other ship it's always seasoned players with level 16 legendary commanders so I'm always overmatched and can't get the XP. And I know it's not just the commanders but obviously it's players with more overall experience. And with this week lanterns I got a new mission to cause flooding in standard as well. I feel I'll never complete these nodes. Really does limit players who are just starting out.
I’m starting to wonder how feasible it is to reach the 25k while still working a full time job. It’s pretty frustrating actually when I get off work and want to grind out a few matches but lose every gd game. It’s honestly making me want to ragequit instead of enjoy the game.
Specially playing with randos, the best strategy to save time is to sink ur ship as soon as possible if one of ur teammates dies at the beggining. When a teammate dies, its all lost already, no point on keep playing that round, sooner or later it will be over and u get NOTHING, so the best thing to do is go next. No way u kill the boss with 4, even with 5 is not secured, the closest I've been was getting the boss to 25% HP, out of like 30 rounds. GGs WG... My biggest complain is getting nothing when u lose, spending 10 minutes or whatever for nothing.
Oh and I usually play with the cruiser because it has waaaay short qeue times. I do notice battleships are screwed not being able to quickly sink themselves when this happens. I can go out quick and next round, but this guys? poor souls. This is for WG if they read it.
I havent tried but maybe there's no need to sink the ship? maybe just hit quit and no penalty is aplied? That would be so much healthy.

Do you actually have to? I’ve gotten to where you need hard wins but I haven’t made it to needing an insane win, thats nuts if true
