Hallowed Ground Freezes Neverwinter

Surprised there isn't more posts about this...

I'm finding that when doing anything involving instance servers (pvp, all t2 dungeons, and all skirmishes) randomly will freeze the screen. This used to happen before but would release you within seconds. Now its indefinite. You have to force quit to resolve and it just does it again within moments. This also affects all players in instance. Rumors state its linked to use of hallowed ground spell being cast by clerics. Linked below is a couple videos of game freeze in action.

As you can see, each time at the freeze, hallowed ground is being cast (yellow pillar of light). High indicator of the problem.

Steps to reproduce the bug:
1. Queue for instance
2. Start combating enemies.
3. Cast hallowed ground.
4. Game will freeze for you and everyone else in there with you.
Note: In PVP when a cleric casts hallowed ground only their party (team) freezes. Other team is unaffected.
Resolution: Go to Xbox dashboard and hit the old start button and navigate to "quit". Log in and you will be dead dead.

This is a huge problem and needs to be acknowledged by staff immediately!

    Actually had the same problem in PvP match without clerics. I casted Opressive Force during 1 vs 3 fight for node 2 in Rivenscar and all 3 of them froze immediately.

    Seems KV might cause it in PvP, but OTOH didn't seem to in CN at all. Odd.

    I Froze twice in PVP today, each time I was in the middle of casting Hallowed Ground :( and I had to use Injury Kits when I spawned back in the PvP arena

    I've been having this problem a lot too, and not just in dungeons. It seems to be linked to many different circumstances. I have tried about seven times to complete the Thayan magical shelter quest in the Well of Dragons, and the game has crashed every time in the third anchor room. It is NOT a connection issue as was suggested to me by support, as the entire game becomes unresponsive, even menus. It is deadly every time, and it really isn't fun having to wait to reboot the game to get back into a dungeon.

    CW's Oppressive force also does this as well now

    Ditto, had the exact same issue. I was at least hoping it froze for the opposition as well but that does not appear to be the case ;)

    I have the same problem, game freeezes dead when i cast hollowed ground in pvp and dungeons too... That affects me and other players in the instance. Support doesnt seem to see the problem... it started after last update.

    This has finally made it into the known issues post but many think the developers have no clue to what's causing the problem, and I fear for Tiamat encounter on console.

    What else are we to think with a brick wall between the community and the developers?

    This is a serious issue. The power is completely unusable right now. I froze not just myself, but also my teammates about 5 times the other day between PVP and dungeons. Pair that up with the general increase in laggy/unstable/buggy behavior over the last week, and this is really disenfranchising.

    At least you have another good daily that you can use as a substitute for it. Singularity and Oppressive Force crash the game on my CW so the only option I have for an AoE dailly is the pathetic joke that is Ice Storm.

    I always run with a second CW, and many times with a third and fourth. Aside from PK, the crashing does not happen often. We use OF constantly, it is not a repeatable bug in dungeons other than PK (which you will crash just walking).

    Fwiw, our teams consistently will clear game cache after a few dungeons and a couple of us have set the xbox to 720p.
