Yes same problem! First, it's impossible to get in with a group (without locking someone out who is *slightly* behind), then it doesn't reset - very frustrating

 

Verified, since I was there... our large group waited well outside of the 'wall' area for about 15 minutes, and then moved further back just in case another 15 minutes or so -- the wall never went away.

Feedback: Would be great if the wall didn't lock everyone in/out until AFTER the giant is attacked or interacted with -- since getting a large group in is next to impossible and a huge morale hit to keeping a group motivated to try and get everyone into the arena again..

 

there is lag when the storm kicks in I think that is the issue slower people cant get in as it pauses for a sec.

 

we did it today, but took 3 restarts and over 1h to even get a group fight going. I still recommend a change. the last round we stacked and walked 2 feet stopped and repeated until we got to the giant lol.

it worked. I am 100% sure the issue is lag for some which gets them behind when trying to do normally. There was another weird one where we teleported out on that 2nd round and came back but giant was not reset because another person was in zone. the giant saw someone that spawned near the wall and ran and got stuck on his own wall. @Sannio this made him able to be attacked from outside the wall. this happened because teleporting back takes you back to your previous spot you left in Jot. and not an entrance. So its possible to have him outside his bounds. more or less a rare chance of happening but still possible. Also no XP for giant still. thanks

 

@Xee We tried again with Coswald, and several of us got locked out 2x, and everyone just rage quit basically.

Maybe have a timer or something on the wall appearing, if it's too hard to make the Giant neutral and the wall only start when someone attacks it.
.. or maybe put one of those magical things like in Chillblain's or LB's castle, that people need to stand on, for the wall to come up and fight to start.
