There is clearly a huge penalty for a user to miss/forget to join a GAC round in the 24 hours given before 'player lock'. But now that CG has made it so that the roster locks when you hit Join and there is no way to unjoin, players have to balance the risk of locking too early vs missing it altogether. For example, I locked this morning because I wasn't sure I would be able to get on again between then and player lock. But I did have time and also unlocked a 7* Negotiator as well thanks to TB. But oh well, no 7* Negotiator for me the next three matches.
Please implement an ability to relock roster, or unjoin and rejoin like we can in TB. I'm surprised this need was not predicted when moving roster lock from player lock time to join time was implemented.

If the roster lock for TW works, they should be able to make it work similarly for GA.
As previously stated It should be like territory war being able to leave and rejoin if you make a mistake to lock in your roster for an event that lasts a week.
Unless you make some key change to an 80+ ranked toon that doesn't bump you up...but realistically how much can you change in 24hrs? How much difference can it make in the outcome?
It makes a huge difference to some of us. I accidentally sign up for GAC too early all the time, honestly it happens more often than when I intentionally sign up. It just happened again yesterday. Should I be more careful? Absolutely! But the way it currently works is still poor game design. I've said this before, but cheaters in GAC was an issue I never encountered and this "solution" is way more frustrating than the problem it's intended to fix.
Match-ups are based on GP. But as we all know, not all GP is created equal. A character like Malak is way more powerful than someone like Kanan or even CLS at the same GP. This last GAC, they released the Malak event the morning of the GAC lock. I wanted to wait to see if I could unlock Malak before joining, but I had to work and was unsure if I'd have a chance to play, so I couldn't. I then got Malak during a break at work, but couldn't use him in the GAC. Having Malak available may have made the difference between a win and a loss, and would not have changed my match-up.
i'd rather have a useful malak with a slight gp bump
Yes I agree, I didnt realize once u hit join that changes u make dont count. Why cant u leave then rejoin. I did cause last time I forgot to join bc of work. So I joined ahead of time and now I'm F-ed
