    Verified - I was in the party and experienced this myself. It seems once the 'battle' triggers, the wall that used to be clickable to enter/exit, is no longer able to be.

    I observed this also. During our first 2 tries when a few people were stuck outside the barrier, I was able to cast Ring of Fire, and Fireball. After that tho, once we were all inside the barrier, I couldn't lay down Ring of Fire or cast Fireball - the reticle stayed green everywhere I tried to cast the spells.

    I got a video showing how the reticle is behaving here:

    You weren't supposed to be able to open any section of the "wind wall" barrier. The barrier was supposed to be impenetrable while the battle was ongoing.

    Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but the frost giant fight works correctly the first time you fight him, but for some reason the wind wall doesn't go away when the battle stops (because all players die or leave). I'll have to look into this. Adding to issue #69708

    I'm look into this, too. Also adding to issue #69708 69793

    EDIT: I moved the ground targeting bug into it's own issue: #69793

    Ahh - we used to be able to enter the wind wall by interacting with it, so when people were getting stuck outside of it and unable to enter the battle, we thought it was a bug..

    Maybe you can have the wall able to be entered for a certain time period once the battle is triggered? It's very hard if not impossible to get everyone inside the wall before the battle starts and locks a party member or more out of the group battle.

    Another option might have the Giant be neutral until someone attacks it, or talks to it , or something - so a group can get everyone in first?

    Thanks!

    Yeah, the issue is soon as some pug member runs too close or someone gets attention the wall goes up. when ends up most the time with 2-3 of the whole party inside. after they die though the wall stays up. could be because people outside where trying to hit it. knowing this though thats how we finally managed to get group on 3rd teleport to new instance was to ensure all slowly followed tank into battle. it works great if all read and listen. but pugs will be a pain lol.
    not to mention language barriers seeing we have a lot of international people that play. trying to interrupt and explain how not to trigger is hard sometimes :)

    Marking this fixed - there is a very subtle discolored circle around where the giant spawns as indicated in the patch notes. If people still have issues with party members getting stuck outside, please post in the Feedback forum and tag Sannio.
