Missed current Grand Arena. I never received a toast notification on the Cantina main screen (right). I also have been clicking daily in GA since the second "test" event ended and always got the message that no active events are active.

- I'm level 85
- Participated to the failed test and successfull test event
- Got the reward for the 'testing' event (zeta and mod mats)

Note that I connect either from my phone or an emulator on my PC and on both devices I failed to see any notifications or even activity other than no active event message.

Why did this happen and what can be dont to prevent this from happening again?

    The active GA just finished an hour ago. It is now 8n the 24 hour review period.

    The signup period for the next GA should start about 1700 US Eastern time tomorrow, and last 24 hours.

    They offered you something? Did you complain about this elsewhere?

    Okay, so i can see the GA this time. But it's the5v5 version. I'm absolutely positive the 3v3 version did not show up. When is the next 3v3 one scheduled?

    They haven’t told us the schedules in advance. Even the 3vs3 was just announced immediately prior.

    I don’t think they’ve announced when the next GA will start after this one - probably will be on the January events calendar.
  • I read this post last December, and somehow still missed this January's GA due to a lack of in game cues and notifications.

    With several active daily 600 players and frequent forum checkers still missing GA, there must be a priority QOL change.

    Add visual cues

    Add countdown timers

    Pin important calendar changes to top of forum. Give prominent update cues.

    I have had this issue, but no help. 

    No offer of crystals, no rewards. 

    The “you need to notify customer support during signup phase” doesn’t help. I have a life and don’t spend a lot of time in game or on the forums. If the GA screen doesn’t show an active event, as far as I know, it isn’t active! 

    An in-game e-mail stating GA signup will start would be nice that way those that don’t have an active signup would have time to contact customer service.
