Stuck, and cannot progress through missions

[Robin Dude]

I'm stuck in Icewind Forest because the game spawned in enemies that cannot me or attack me, and I cannot damage them. The gate to the next area won't open until all enemies are dead, but I cannot damage them no matter what I do.

I tried relogging, I tried changing channels, I tried playing on a different difficulty... I'm just stuck.

If I understand you correctly, that problem usually happens when your connection to the game server is interupted or disconnected. If your connection is unstable (say from using a WiFi router with a weak signal), then the game can be quite unstable and will disconnect without warning anywhere in the dungeon. The result is that you see all the monsters, but they don't react when you approach them and you can't hit them at all. There is no way to recover from this in-game. Exit the game, check your internet connection, then relaunch and try again.

Try playing on a computer with a high-speed internet sevice directly connected to the router using a cable.

I have a full signal, and am sitting in the same room as my router, is the problem and it is only those specific two enemies every time.

Later during the day after posting this topic, there were people in town saying they were experiencing the same problem, so it might be game-wide for that specific area.

I'm getting the same issue. Is it with the goblins right before the next area portal? Because i've tried to get passed this part several times now and every time they are just sitting there and i cannot damage them, nor them me.

If alot of people are experiencing the problem, it's most likely a glitch/bug from the latest update. All you can do is write a ticket and hope the DN team fixes it soon.

Maybe try hitting esc and pressing return to town???????????

Yep, the Ice Throwers right next to the portal. It's the same enemies everytime, and several other people in town said they had the same problem.

Just gonna wait it out and hope they fix it soon.

I tried for 3.5 hours doing everything from changing channels, restarting the game and my computer, trying again, and everything else reasonable (Including starting a new character). This is a problem on the game's end.

It's still going on, Icewind Forest, Hide and Seek quest. This is a required quest to progress through the game as a Cleric, at least. How do you submit this support ticket? It's a real bif, my toon is sitting there having tea with them as I'm writing this, after reading everything up to this.
Couple of things I've tried.
-In a party
-Solo
- Channel Switching
- Every available Difficulty
- Returning to town and trying over and over
- Full relog

So, great thing to fix I'd think.

The support team know about the issue and they are working on fixing it, but the fix wont be out until next patch. As a temporary fix you can submit a ticket (based on the instructions in the forum post I linked) and they will put your character passed that mission, if you feel that you really need to progress and cannot wait till the patch.

Good luck in waiting......that bug has been going on since 2011 if i read it right on the net...happy waiting....

Ok, I have no idea where you're getting that idea. This thread was started on October 18th, steam forum side, and close to then on the nexon side...
Though, it's been long enough to have become a nuisance. I have submitted a ticket through the provided link and had no luck. Pretty shoddy to let such a significant problem go this long. It doesn't seem l ike a good way to keep new players.

Agreed, I have been enjoying the game thus far (with other character classes) but a major game-breaking bug like this shouldn't be ignored for this long. If it is preventing players from progressing through the game entirely it should be a high-priority fix...

...but that is just my opinion.

And I encourage others to do as I have and go to the Nexon forum and get involved there. The link provided above will take you there, and the topic is headline stuff on the forum. If people want the game and let it be known...
