I have seen several people in my guild have started there next grand arena. In mine I can see the feats but never got the option to join? Are some people starting at different points. I checked multiple times but never had the option to join

    Everyone starts at the same time. If you are not in the first Attack Phase by now then I am afraid you are not in the GAC.

    This is not helpful at all. Apparently others are having the same issue, see thread here. https://forums.galaxy-of-heroes.starwars.ea.com/discussion/comment/1912020#Comment_1912020

    And you were expecting what exactly? That they would re-start the GAC for everyone so that you could join?
  • @Ugluk199 the screenshot you posted above will have had a big green button saying “join” for the 24hrs signup period.

    My gut says you didn’t press it.

    As with everyone else who has this complaint.

    The mistake most of the others are making is that they could see feats, could see leaderboards so they assumed that meant they’d joined. But these things can always be seen, whether you’ve clicked join or not.
  • You didn't join. And the customer support is from EA not CG.

    Not at all, that’s not my intention. My intention is to make this problem known so that it doesn’t happen to other people in the future and if it indeed is a bug that it can be fixed before the next set of Championships.

    To everyone saying I joined. I never had the option to. I joined the exhibition round of championships fine, but I never had the button. It was only the screen that we all say previously that said to check back for the next championship

    The other people are claiming that they hit the join button but didn't get to participate. You aren't claiming that. Based on the OP you never even went in to hit that button during the 24h it was there.

    Well, at least I will be able to join next week. I went into championships while it was there and ever since I got the notification to join (there was a red button outside just like last grand arena), but when I went in there was no option to join like last time. I checked back everytime I opened the app, but unfortunately nothing.

    Thanks for clarifying that I’ll be able to join next week though
  • Quick clarifying question. Are you level 85? I think I recall there being something about level 85 being Auto joined, but not lower levels. Can't tell you where I saw that though.
    For what it's worth, I didn't have a join button, and I was automatically joined.

    There is no join button for GAC, you are automatically joined. There is a join button for each individual week's GA. If you are currently participating in a GA, you hit it, possibly without even noticing.

    This is just like the people who say they never had a join button for TW. Maybe it's true, but somehow there has yet to be a post showing "I don't have a join button" while that join button should actually be there. It's always people posting screenshots like the OP's well after the fact showing that it's not there, when it wouldn't be there for anybody because they already missed the window.

    I love how CS trolls some people by sending them to the forums and other people by giving them a temporary 7* Negotiator.

    I need a new message here. https://discord.gg/AmStGTH

    There is an issue submitted in Bug Reports about others having the same issue

    I would bump that thread stating you are also experiencing it

    EA_HighCommand is pretty active and flags bugs so the more people post in that bug report thread the quicker they will notice

    I’ve never seen them compensate for bug reports (maybe they do?), and sometimes they flag and investigate a bug but take months to resolve it

    I am level 85 yes, I can remember clicking in last grand arena when it started but I believe I was auto joined as well. From what I remember last time, when I got a notification grand arena was starting, when I clicked in it had a certain amount of hours until it was starting.

    Have CG stated that you can join a GAC in progress?

    No, they stated that everybody eligible is automatically signed up for GAC. Which they are. And that you need to join the individual GAs. Which is exactly what I said.
  • The only problem here are **** who can't admit they never hit the JOIN button.

    Thanks for the heads up Ugluk. We are trying to gather more information about this issue. We haven't been able to identify a cause as it's happens so intermittently and our data of course doesn't show affected players joining. Head over the the AnswersHQ link above and share whatever information you can

    Hi Holotable Heroes,

    We are continuing to review the Grand Arena Championships for any issues during this exhibition. We’ve received reports of crashes during battle and players unable to enter Grand Arena. We are investigating further and are looking for more information.

    If you experience either of these issues, please head over to this thread on Answers HQ and post the following information:

    • What issue you are having?
    • Your Ally Code
    • Your phone model and firmware
    • When did you sign up for this Grand Arena?
    • Please send any screenshots or videos of the problem occurring
