Cloak Tower Door Bug

Directly after the maze in the CT, the door won't open.
Have tried several party run throughs' and same problem.
Seems to be only as of the recent patch.

The door starts to go up but closes and will not move after.
We are searching for slave labor, will pay with food from our farm!
I formed a 5-man without the queue and we entered through the door on the landscape. It places us at the REAL start of the dungeon and everyone went smoothly until we reached this same spot again. The wall/door simply will not go up. I submitted a ticket and received no response. Are we genuinely stuck with no alternative but to leave and just not run the Cloak Tower?
We had to team up, go to the door and "enter with my current team". Otherwise, we were scattered all over an empty dungeon and the melting wall refuses to melt.
Checking the forums, this dungeon has been bugged for at least a year.
Since the last patch, it is broken even more. Now, the wall still refuses to melt and we cannot proceed to the Boss and have to leave the party to get out, which means the last to leave is stuck and has to walk out.
So now, not only is the queue bugged but the door is bugged as well.
The latest patch made it WORSE as this is a permanent feature for EVERY party, whatever method they use to get into the place.
My most recent character has spent THREE DAYS and risen by two levels just trying to finish the Cloak Tower.

Yep, it has been broken on and off at least since beta. It gives an incredibly poor (though not misleading) impression of the game, that the first dungeon is just too broken to complete, much of the time.
Given that it has been "fixed" so many times to no avail, I do wonder why the guys at Cryptic don't just cut their losses and remove that particular door. Yes, it means that people might be able to camp fire rush a bit of the middle of the dungeon, but goodness me people, it's The Cloak Tower- not a huge loot piñata at the best of times.
It is the first dungeon of the game. It doesn't work. I was levelling an alt at the weekend, and tried to do this dungeon to break up the tedium- and guess what? Every single group that the queue dumped me in (remarkably quickly) was an incomplete group in an almost empty but unfinished instance. People could waste ages running from the spawn to find the rest of the (non-speaking) group, just to find that it's broken and they would have been better off not bothering.
It should be fixed, as it just looks pants right now. If multiple attempts to make this door work didn't do the job, it's time to design it out of the dungeon.
Make this urgent, please.
...because other races don't know how to use a pickaxe? :P
I got tired waiting for a party to form and didn't know about the bug so I decided to try it solo. So there was only one person doing everything and it was still broken. I agree the illusionary wall/real wall swap is broken, I've seen the same problem getting the conditionals debugged in the Foundry when the test isn't fully functional for object flags. I'd suggest removing the two objects that are broken and putting in clean new ones. Demonstrating the coolness in dissolving walls, isn't as imposrtant as having the final boss blocked.
Alleged work arounds and rumours:
- Only Lv12-22 CT is broken , Epic CT is fine
- Using the Queue to enter breaks the door, entering manually works
- The door will open if ONLY one player tries to activate it
Are any of these statements correct?
Now, personally I can wait...but the reason this should be a very high priority fix is that for a new player, this will be their fiirst dungeon experience, and it will be extremely discouraging....your player base is not that huge - you really don't want to lose any of the brand new players because of something like this.
Please fix this bug fast, it's my first dungeon and I really wanna finish it
Comes Cryptic's patch

The Cloak Tower stone door will now properly open in all cases.
98 bugs in the code...98 bugs in the code...
Some players that are in a guild that have a daily limited withdraw limit are now permanently receiving the withdraw limit bug.
"You have already reached your withdraw limit"
Once the message is received the player can never withdraw items or gold from that guild bank again, it is permanent.
