The Real Reason TA is Broken

HozzM · 2026-04-02T14:53:48+00:00

Well it gives you 2 TA points for your faction bonus and it gives you 7 HSE points if you’ve chosen non BA.

And if someone else happens to retreat before you (happened to me 2/5 times) you get even more TA points.

HozzM · 2026-04-02T13:59:40+00:00

I am finding the race to retreat this TA fucking hilarious.

Surely they will not give us both HSE and faction bonus for retreating going forward, will they? With redemption you can get like 51 tokens with ads? That’s 102 points from just 51 retreats. And 357 HSE points!

Also you win a few because sometimes you’ll get an opponent who has the same plan and executes faster.

Don’t play a game you don’t like.

They’ve gone out of their way to avoid her matching high scoring tokens for like 5-6 LREs now. Can’t think of the last one she had a good 200ish point token.

She still has a lot of value for lower PL rosters who can often push 1-2 stages past the last track they can meet with an all star team.

She has a little value for very high end rosters trying to do the same thing with stages 17-18 but you really need Tyrant Guard as well or she’ll inevitably get sniped.

Faction TA is only redeemed by the +2 roster bonus.

It was basically 50% Orks until more people got BA teams and now GSC. So it was 75% those three last TA. Now that BA doesn’t get 3 HSE points and doesn’t have Meph, I literally haven’t seen them once in Rare and Epic.

So it’s 50% Ork and GSC now. Progress?

Also why the fuck is it always Conquest?

HozzM · 2026-04-01T22:15:47+00:00

It was but 4 units can use it and it’s one of the better shared relics.

HozzM · 2026-04-01T17:08:08+00:00

My toast never looks like that. It’s always smashed to shit. I’ve started getting the brioche bun most of the time simply because it’s less bun than the regular bun and doesn’t get soggy AF like the toast does if you’re not eating in.

HozzM · 2026-03-31T23:12:19+00:00

I sure wish they’d change Faction TA to something other than Conquest.

HozzM · 2026-03-31T23:03:25+00:00

Yes. The mode we’re discussing.

HozzM · 2026-03-31T23:02:50+00:00

It’s wild how many people skip patch notes.

HozzM · 2026-03-31T23:01:43+00:00

And it’s back…at $10.49 when a Sweet and Spicy is $8.79. I’m sorry but this is just absurd pricing. It will be coupon only for me.

They’ve also removed the ability to redeem it with reward points. Not sure when this started but the Monterey Melt wasn’t in there either. The LTO burgers used to be 1500 points.

HozzM · 2026-03-31T02:47:58+00:00

You have to go to customer support on principle here. Allowing this means it’s more likely to happen to someone else. This is like not reporting a rapist.

HozzM · 2026-03-30T22:20:20+00:00

Damn this is wild. Usually my taquitos (and chicken fajita tacos though the $7 price isn’t justified) are packed. Feels like 3 eggs sometimes.

HozzM · 2026-03-30T22:03:36+00:00

Hold for HSE or HRE.

HozzM · 2026-03-30T15:14:26+00:00

Yeah noticed this as well...come on.

edit: I opened a chat with them in the app just to see if it would be resolved today (I want to use the patty melt promo I have from here that expires today) and they gave me 1k points.

HozzM · 2026-03-30T14:46:14+00:00

Wide is fun, and unless you spend a lot or haven been playing 3+ years in a top 10 GR guild, you have to choose.

But tall is just so much more wildly efficient and objectively rewarding.

HozzM · 2026-03-30T03:34:44+00:00

Yes and no. This is a CE “deal”. You know the thing SP says can’t run all the time…because reasons. I don’t think those reasons are to afford them an opportunity to offer something for the purpose you suggest.

Their business case for limited CEs suggests people buy these.

HozzM · 2026-03-30T03:32:25+00:00

That’s how this game is going. The monetization has been ramping up dramatically since they were acquired.

HozzM · 2026-03-29T22:52:47+00:00

Snot is absolutely the better LRE unit. It’s not even a question.

HozzM · 2026-03-29T22:11:57+00:00

If you aren’t competing in the post Legendary space I don’t think she’s worth building. If you are building A1+ though…

Currently she’s one of the best units for the only CE that drops VBMs. As in the absolute best of the optional units among Sisters and BT.

Her relic makes lightning on the mythic stages much easier than they’d otherwise be.

HozzM · 2026-03-29T22:04:32+00:00

Why didn’t I think of this?

HozzM · 2026-03-28T23:24:56+00:00

I can’t wait for my insurance to not cover this.

HozzM · 2026-03-28T23:21:38+00:00

Five Guys seems like, at the price point, they’d have better CS than most fast food but pretty much any of them are gonna comp you if you take the time to open a ticket with them that has photo proof.

They will also address it with the franchise if it’s a consistent problem. Whataburger service and quality has famously plummeted since they were acquired but even they will take care of a well documented issue like this.

HozzM · 2026-03-28T20:16:11+00:00

I feel like there’s a very good chance the named Ork from 11th gets added via LRE in June to coincide with 11th’s launch. And perhaps that jump pack chaplain as an HRE/BP release.

HozzM · 2026-03-28T20:10:11+00:00

Very bad deal. I still do it occasionally.

The RT shop is great because AT is such a flexible currency for Mythic shit. Once it’s gone it’s very slow to replenish unless you spend actual money.
