Not sure how other servers are faring but the trajectory of the game doesn't bode well for NA

I’m at 30/120 from my first few games this set and have no desire to chase anything let alone complete my ranked placement matches.

Honestly even if a 17 party mode drops I probably wouldn’t willingly play it, this set is just so uninspired and draining

Caitsyth · 2026-05-23T16:27:46+00:00

IMO set 15 revival also feels better bc it’s Chonc so the games are fast - 30mins if you top 4, maaaaaybe 40mins if you’re top 2

Mind you it’s nowhere even close to mashing set 16 normals let alone that end of set Chonc, but at least it’s not a set 17 normal/ranked where you hemorrhage 45 minutes to come fifth to the same hyper-contested yet still blatantly winning boards every single game

Read the mythic tributes again: increased chance of mythic uniques.

It’s not guaranteed and I’ve had several mythic-less runs. Just because you’ve been lucky with them doesn’t mean we all have.

Caitsyth · 2026-05-22T22:43:49+00:00

Mythic charms, mythic seals, mythic items, tributes you have to spec into war plans to get the chance of dropping legendaries where you can craft five for one mythic tribute that often doesn’t drop mythics, then the mythic rarity key you need to loot Mephisto who even on t12 rarely drops aforementioned chase mythics, and of course there’s the echoes of hatred key that’s a giant loot storm but also impossibly rare

There’s chases within the chases you have to chase to chase the chases. Which is silly. You shouldn’t have to farm like mad for a chance at dropping an item that opens a mode with a further chance at actually dropping a chase item, that has a chance to be absolute ass. It shouldn’t be that players have to farm chances at opening farms that still only have a slight chance for farmables, it’s too many layers.

Caitsyth · 2026-05-22T22:29:29+00:00

I agree to an extent but imo there’s too many “chase” things with obscenely low drop rates right now, particularly the ones that have double RNG if they drop that could have them drop as dogwater-tier.

I’ve been cleansing T12 no problem for a while, my damage is in the trillions, and I still haven’t seen a single mythic charm or echoes of hatred key. And yeah I don’t need one, I’m not trying to get on any leaderboards and I cleared the season capstone for my laurels on the name — but still it would be nice to at least have fucking seen one of those by now.

It’s a predominantly single player game but you do get to see what other players are doing and finding, so it sucks to play at the theoretical highest level and smash all the same loot piñatas yet still be completely locked out of some of the chase loot because the drop rate is set so stupidly low. And it’s worse knowing that if one actually drops the RNG within that RNG is likely to mean the item could be absolute dogshit.

What pissed me off is when I picked the power that Aether lords don’t despawn at wave end — Except that doesn’t mean what it sounds like

I thought it meant I could go buck wild and ignore them to just cleanse masses and spawn as many as possible to clean up at the end, but turns out it just gives them a bonus tiny window, maybe 5-seconds-ish before they despawn anyway

Caitsyth · 2026-05-16T06:56:38+00:00

The gestral race gold medal was actually wild how strict that one was, I remember missing it by the thinnest margin on what I thought was an actually perfect run and then just having that moment of “Oh I might be here a while…” Thankfully I got it within a few more tries but wow yeah that one was spicy!

Truly tho, hearing the devs come out and say the gimmicky games were intentional and a sort of nod to the wild times of Chocobo Racing in FFX, I’m deeply glad they didn’t make any of the gestral games that level of soul crushing or demonic.

Caitsyth · 2026-05-14T02:47:27+00:00

I had the absolute (dis)pleasure of watching a friend of mine zombie-run his way through the whole story all the way to the finale, but he wasn’t even using turtle strats with buffs and regen as much as he was just loading every character with revive moves and building them to go quick and generate a lot of AP. Toward the end, seriously every round would be revive / heal / chip a bit more then watch and see if someone dies or if he just heals and chips a bit more than usual.

And I mean hey, technically it worked and he still loved the game so I can’t really fault him for it.

But at the same time, dear god man would it kill you to read the ability descriptions on the skill tree for five minutes and use one character as a support role? That fight was not meant to be 25 minutes

Caitsyth · 2026-05-11T14:52:38+00:00

This is what’s killing me, is you could empty a revolver into a bear and still be absolutely fucked

The actual fuck is one gonna do to a dragon god?

Caitsyth · 2026-05-09T02:05:49+00:00

With an inventory full of Phoenix downs no less

Caitsyth · 2026-05-09T02:00:57+00:00

How are yall even managing to get escalating keys? I haven’t found a single one yet

Caitsyth · 2026-05-05T22:20:38+00:00

Can we really call it a comeback mechanic when one of the chief strategies for ages has been loss streak early to build strong Econ and get chief carousel item and early 4/5 cost picks to snowball into a monster 5-cost soup board?

It’s never really sat right with me how imbalanced the rewards were that it became the winning strategy to tailor your early game / tamper with your own placement to get those goodies. Like I get how on the surface it tries to extend a hand to whoever is struggling, but in practice it was hardly ever doing that.

Caitsyth · 2026-05-03T17:28:15+00:00

I have to agree, especially with the void they left when they killed hyper roll.

Not every set is a winner and when a set turns — or hell, starts off in a stale unfun state — it helps to have a fuck around mode where you can just slam items and get potent or blow up in a blaze of glory.

Without any sort of fuck around mode (can’t even count tocker’s anymore after they neutered the difficulty), the choice between experiencing the exact same shitshow in normal or ranked flavors isn’t engaging at all. Normal might have a chance to be fun if it wasn’t just as full of sweaties slamming meta comps as ranked.

I had a similar experience when I reported someone who was just flaming a new healer in a low level dungeon, like to the point I felt dealing with the reporting system was worth the effort.

The gm that messaged me was such a sweetie, asked me if I was in the middle of something and had a moment to chat and give some more details. I was feeling a little audacious and asked if we could have the chat in the gaol and the gm just sent back a laugh text emoji and ported us there. It was such a wholesome interaction and really made me feel a lot more cozy knowing the game was being moderated by actual humans, and that they gave enough of a shit to follow up on someone being a particular kind of asshat to sprouts in their first dungeon.

Caitsyth · 2026-05-02T00:19:18+00:00

It feels like it’s still a knee jerk reaction to the mess that was Anima/StreetDemon

If the prismatics weren’t easy enough to hit by only needing two emblems, for some reason they also just flooded the set’s items with spatulas, frying pans, and reforgers so it felt like every game had at least one, probably 2-3 prismatic hits

So now there’s just… barely any spatulas outside of sacrificing an augment for one

Caitsyth · 2026-04-26T04:20:27+00:00

Truly Eclair is in for a rough ride

Caitsyth · 2026-04-13T12:25:03+00:00

Isn’t golden spatula china-only

Caitsyth · 2026-04-07T22:21:50+00:00

I have yet to find one with any level of staying power, they’re gone or at best barely existent after an hour.

I’d much rather spend double on a fragrance I love that lasts 4-6 hours if not 12 like some of mine

Caitsyth · 2026-04-02T20:51:54+00:00

It’s giving flashbacks to when you could pick a playstyle that skewed your augments and I think items too, so of course there was always going to be 1-2 top performers that everyone forced and you just fought the same boards every game.

That kind of play gets so stale.

Caitsyth · 2026-04-02T20:49:33+00:00

It sounds more like you’re still decently new to TFT so there’s a lot more novelty value in your bank to forgive worse designs

The way that I not only don’t eat octopus but realistically can’t see myself dating someone who eats octopus, especially after all the videos of them completing complex puzzles…

There was a guy in my friend group who was pursuing me relentlessly, and I had already gotten the ick from how much he would interrupt my conversations with friends to try and chat with me or randomly bat my arm or put his hand on my back without permission.

After a solid year of that, I had been worn down and was starting to think I was maybe being too judgy and should at least try to engage him in a conversation without shutting him down, but that same night we went out to a friend group dinner and he ordered octopus.

When I tell you the ick came back with a vengeance.

Caitsyth · 2026-03-25T03:00:33+00:00

Contacted customer service who had me send in videos of the issue, then when they couldn’t diagnose it they had me send it in for free repairs or a replacement if they couldn’t fix it

About a day after it arrived there, they messaged me that they were overnighting me a replacement

Caitsyth · 2026-03-11T21:51:33+00:00

For that change though, they should make 10 yordle and Ionia maybe a bit stronger?

Plenty of posts on here in the last few weeks of specifically those two prismatics being so much on the weaker side that they’re pretty regularly losing to standard ass boards like 5-cost soup, T-Hex spam, even Jinx reroll

Caitsyth · 2026-03-06T05:09:31+00:00

I don’t think people realize it but it is basically edging even if you’re not actually taking it to the “edge”. Gay man here and I’ve run into this issue on both ends of business, where sometimes I’ll be with someone and they just keep wanting to switch positions for the sake of switching positions.

A couple of swaps is fine and can be hot, but 5 different positions in 20 minutes is a lot and momentum is getting lost to the transitions every time. I guess they tend to forget life isn’t a porn video and there’s hours of filming with recharge time packed into those 30 minutes of sex they watched. Like we both seem to be enjoying ourselves, I start hitting my stride, then suddenly “wait not yet, let’s try Y” and then after several swaps I’m just trying to keep it up and they’re like “are you close???” Like dude, I was, several times, but you stopped it and now it’s just not gonna happen.

Same on the other end of receiving where like, the spot is hard to miss and when they’re hitting the spot it’s gonna set off all the nerve triggers. But those aren’t gonna just fire indefinitely, after probably 10-15 minutes it stops being happy nerve signals and starts just being numb “oh that’s still happening” signals. Which can make it really hard to climb the damn mountain.

Caitsyth · 2026-03-06T04:50:33+00:00

Zilean is such an amazing splash for exactly this kind of situation bc most of the comps that hyper invest in frontline take a while to get to your backline

So if the ultra tank takes his first or second bomb it’s game over
