Just wanted to go to the current event and hit that GA button instead and hit join instead of the enter button for the event. I'm missing mods on my Sith Empire, which has my best mods equipped andI watned to gear up Gideon before joining. Now it's all messed uzp, because there's still no leave option implemented! Just how?!?

A: CG_Miller - We've looked into this in the past, and the task is bigger than most players realize. Once you register for the GAC we start the process of building the matchups immediately, and you can imagine the havoc one would wreck if players could drop in and out and in and out of the GAC while the game is trying to do some matchup heavy lifting. That said, it's oft-requested, so we'd like to find time to give the players some agency over this.

Happy to help. I believe that's the most recent (and most comprehensive) answer we've had to that question. I don't necessarily think it makes a lot of sense, though. And adding a confirm button should be relatively easy, and wouldn't interfere with the process established in that Q&A answer.
Most of my Phoenix is still at g8.
Is that a bad thing?

They can't. They gave up on doing QoL updates a couple years ago. Anything that makes the interface better and easier to use cannot be done.
Tb was a week ago. If you didn't have your mods fixed from that then that's on you.
And I don't move mods for tb and contribute just fine.
Not 100% true. The last major QOL update was in 2019, so it wasn't "a couple years", but I can see why 1.5+ years since the last does make it feel that way.

With all the updates they are planning to release later this month, it *ALMOST* sounds like the 2020 QOL update. Almost.
...and I'm fine with that.
In game guild: TNR Uprising
I beat the REAL T7 Yoda (not the nerfed one) and did so before mods were there to help
*This space left intentionally blank*
I have tested this myself:
* joined at the start of a 24hr signup window
* claimed a feat about 30 mins from the end of the window which promoted me to the next league
* ended up in a bracket full of players from the higher league
Ergo I was assigned to my matchmaking bracket only after promoting myself, about 23 hrs after clicking join.
Why’d you click it if it said join and you weren’t ready?
But honestly, how hard is it NOT to press a button? GAC is now what, 1 year, 1.5 years old? If you keep making the same mistake after over 1 year(!), then you are, in all honesty, the only one to blame. Like seriously, it's not a new thing anymore. Things like muscle memory or slip-ups aren't even an excuse anymore. If you're still struggling with that then it should be muscle memory by now to stay the heck away from the GAC button/screen until you are 100% ready. I simply can't have sympathy for people who keep doing it at this point. During the first 5-10 GACs it was kinda understandable (maaaaybe 15 if you really want to stretch it), but people who still don't get it only have themselves to blame.
I am often whipping in and out of different modes in the game and this is very easy to do. And, this one quick click can ruin 4 weeks of a GAC season (by wrecking one whole cycle and thus severely hindering your chances to hit a top score/Kyber). Pretty unacceptable, CG - please just add the confirm button ASAP.
Then get rid of the phrase "player lock" until you figure it out so people stop thinking that is when "player lock" occurs? It just all seems so easy.
One thing I still wonder to this day is why CG_Miller never addressed the part about a confirmation button. It was either forgotten or glossed over.
Add the confirmation button (and ship squads feature) to the the never ending list of QOL requests...
This issue is old, and it's definitely solvable, if that's even a word. It's just a BIG ask to have it done. They can do it, they just don't have the resources. That's what's been communicated. It can be done though, at least that's the thinking they SHOULD have because nothing's impossible, it just requires resources.
We may get it, we may not. Even the most experienced players still miss joining from time to time so lay off the complianers because it's a totally valid complaint.
Matchmaking is hard, sure, we've gotten to a place where matchmaking is the best it's been so far so why not tackle the other 800lb gorilla and get this change done. It would be a brilliant stroke of enginuity to accomplish it, until then expect complaints. Expect them.
