I was starting a new character and encountered a strange bug, during the prologue after the ship is attacked, the ladder we need to climb up after the first combat tutorial was blocked by an invisible barrier. I haven’t encountered this on my other characters, and upon restarting the prologue on the same character and realm could not reproduce it, so I’m not sure what exactly triggered it.
The barrier becomes visible if I walk behind it:
I approach it from a certain angle I can manage to get on the ladder and climb up, so it’s not a complete blocker, but if I was a new player encountering this I would definitely be confused and stuck.

Interesting, could also not reproduce on multiple attempts, I think I’m going to wait for a second verification before sending this through

Thanks for the dilligence Darth.

Yea it’s a very weird one, I haven’t been able to reproduce it either and am not sure what caused it… My only thought was that maybe it was some debris from the barrels in the bottom right of the room that I destroyed prior to trying to climb up, cause it kind of looks like that, but it would still be weird since you can usually walk through that and it disappears. I’ll try a couple more times to see if I can reproduce it again, but very well could have been just a one time glitch somehow 
@Silas-Inservio-Pax I was able to figure it out and find the culprit!
In the bottom right of the room there is a stack of round barrels. Depending where you’re standing in the room, for some reason they are sometimes visible and sometimes not.
When attacking the barrels in that area, it’s occasionally possible that the stack comes loose and parts of it fall to the floor. They retain that property of sometimes being visible, sometimes not, and importantly they block the player from walking past/over them.
So it’s quite random chance, but there is a chance as in when I noticed the issue that a player could attack them and get unlucky enough that a piece flies in front of the ladder which is what happened to me lol.
Here is some more evidence against the barrel.
In this video I somehow managed to actually push/roll it while it was invisible, causing it to block the ladder: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1vfwRTWVHq7dBJcSSV3_SXXk11cMyci6Q/view?usp=sharing
And this is the full video showing the initial barrel destroying, finding the invisible one on the floor, and pushing it around: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1VlipglzVg3wWeqNgnZA40owy46GIN2k5/view?usp=sharing
Edit: I should also add that the invisible barrel can be destroyed once it’s on the ground, so the main issue is probably the visibility of it, since if a player can see that it’s blocking their way they might think to try destroying it, but if it’s an invisible barrier they might not think to attack it.
Haha this was not an outcome I expected, that visibility should definitely getting fixed.
Forwarding this now.
