If you click Join on the AT AT screen before 7 am, it will take you to the screen that says "This virtual queue is not currently enrolling additional Guests." You would then need to either go back to the AT AT screen, or refresh the second page. Either way, you lose time.
What steps did you take in your practice run? Did you follow the advice on this thread?
I went to the my queue page and clicked on the join button when it popped up, exactly at 7a, then clicked through, no reading, just clicking. I am reading in other groups that the 1p is easier to get into?
Once I started using the time.gov website to give me the correct time, my success rate improved. The website will show you how much your device, i.e. cellphone or computer, varies from the actual time. The difference can be enough to affect success rate. My method is to open time.gov on another device and when the time hits 6:59:59, I give it a fraction of a pause, and then hit the join button. The reason that I don't hit the join button exactly at 6:59:59 is because it is sometimes too early and by the time you go back to join again, it is too late.
I would give it a try using the AT AT method I posted above. And yes, the 1pm can be easier since there are fewer people trying.
I think that's the issue; you can't really wait until the join button appears, so the AT-AT method (joining from the app's main page) will probably give you a better chance. You don't wait for join to "go live" you just hit join right at time.
I concur with the advice that everyone downloads the app on their devices and uses your log in. Just remember, when you are all trying for the BG on that day, 3 of you will likely get the red X and an error notification. Hopefully that is because the 4th person was successful! We have practiced at home with my son logged into my account on his iPad and this is what we've encountered. You guys may want to do practice as you have your one shot at doing this in July. Good luck!!
My phone is exact with the time.gov. I double checked this several minutes before. But you're right, possibly once my phone turns to 7a, I have lost a precious half sec becaus eI could not anticipate it since it doesn't show the seconds. I will try using the time.gov on another device.
don't you still have to click through 3 times regardless of the first page you choose? Why would one be faster? Regardless, I will try this tomorrow. I have to wait until friday to try at 1p. Thanks
Yes (you still hit join, join, join), but if you start on the main page of the app with the AT-AT's, you don't wait until the join button goes "live." You click join as soon as the time hits. There are people saying if you wait until that join button you are talking about goes live, it will be too late.
What you said is key! Knowing exactly where the buttons are going to appear on the screen is so important.
You can practice at 7am and 1pm. Same process as actually getting a BG, it just doesn’t let you actually receive it unless you have a ticket/ park reservation.
It’s not too late! I recommend having a separate device counting down at time.gov and the moment it hits 7:00:00 hit join, join, join on your separate phone - if you search the thread I know there’s a screen shotNewbie here, I’ve never practice and we are going June 14th. I guess it’s time too lol are there screen shots of whee to anticipate the join buttons. If I only have my phone with me, how I can utilize the gov.time? Sorry new here just trying to learn
