If you say something is too bad, you can mean either that you feel sympathy about a problem, or that you do not. The difference is in what is being talked about and the way that you say it:

It's too bad that you can't come to see Mark in his school play. ( pity him because he cant go )
"I can't come on Friday." "That's too bad - I've already bought the tickets, so you'll still have to pay." ( pity him he still has to pay)

 It's a pity means the same as above .

I regret is normally in business letter, as in " I regret to inform you that you did not pass" . In conversation , I would say " I am sorry to tell you that.... ( both to express your sympathy)

The network coverage is too bad. It's impossible to make this call now. It's a pity you couldn't go. It seems that it's impossible now to have this opportunity. I regret to say that we don't have a solution for this problem now. Maybe later
