Snowblind Fractal: Stuck in Wall
This happened today with 2 players in our party. This means it is a consistent bug. It might be imposable for some parties to complete the fractal with this bug.
Was happening yesterday for me too at the end of the fight. I just waited to have boss dead , cc screen and coming back. But happening in the beginning can be pretty annoying.
This is not a specific to this area problem. This is a general “failure to check where the player is while redrawing ANYTHING” problem. This can happen anywhere the map terrain or an object on the map is redrawn while a player is near the terrain/object being redrawn. It is a bug that has been around for months.
In the case of this fractal, you have to wait for another redraw to be extracted from the ice – or bring a mesmer with you that can portal you out.
There are frequent times that I am trapped in the ice at the beginning of the boss fight, if the party does not enter all at once – out of reach of the “let me into the boss area” flag/banner.
It happened to my guildie also. She was in the wall in the boss fight (note: not in the ice, in the wall of the room). I have screen shots on my other computer i"ll update when I get home. I think it was due to the boss’ teleport. We could not portal her out and she couldn’t lightning flash out either.

portal doesn’t work anymore there.
How this happens:
Multiple players go into the boss’ room. The wall appears. Players within the area of the wall will be trapped.
There are two player-solution to this problem:
- Only one person goes in, the rest uses the flag teleport
- If a player is trapped, you need to wait until icewalls appear in the room. Destroy the one closest to the wall you’re stuck in and you’re freed. Either inside or outside, but you’re freed. If the whole party is trapped (bad players), use melee to destroy the walls (do they spawn then?).

I think you misunderstood where the OP is on his screenshot. She’s not inside an ice wall (that spawns when the boss is triggered), she is in an actual wall to the side of the room. This has happened to me when the ice walls spawned on top of me and I just got teleported away, into exactly that nearby wall.

As I stated above, in this instance, you don’t get stuck in the ice walls (you get ported out when they spawn), but you get ported into the stone wall on the left side of the cliff (where the shaman goes up to).

I’ve seen this happen a couple of times. The arrow in the screenshot points to the wall that people are getting stuck in. It’s a solid part of the environment, not one of the breakable corrupted ice walls.
