    @FuzzEGub Hi there, thanks for the report. Just to clarify, in Grand Arena Championships, the player roster is locked the moment you hit the Join button. Player Lock will still have a timer until the Matchmaking because that's the amount of time players have to join before players are locked for that GAC.

    I know it's a bit confusing and we are looking into ways to make this more comprehensive.

    While this is not a bug, you can submit it as Feedback in this section of the official forum where we gather all the feedback:

    Thank you and happy holidays!

@CG_MindTricks I've found a series of posts where you are "looking into ways," but it seems no one has thought to just type something other than "player lock." That's hardly gamechanging code to be resolved. In the meantime, we are being misled into believing the players will in fact lock at a certain time, and it's having a direct impact on our ability to succeed in a part of the game you have seen fit to constitute a major time commitment on our part. You expect us to research, strategize, review, and conduct multiple attacks over most of the days in a month, but you aren't willing to take 10 minutes to change the words "player lock" to "arena battles begin" just to make sure there's no confusion. Not sure exactly why we owe it to you to continue to participate if you're unwilling to expend even a modicum of effort to ensure at least some fairness in the process.

    Please keep in mind MindTricks doesn’t actually code the game, and can’t control what the devs do. The devs set priorities based on a variety of things, and one text-based change seems simple, but it’s also probably a low priority given they explicitly announced this change in advance.

    So if players aren’t willing to pay a little bit of attention to the main announcement forums, then perhaps they deserve to miss things. And of course, players can always not join GA if remembering the timing of player lock is too complicated.
