Vaal temple door bug - party play - barring entry to all but the first in

Three druids walk into a vaal temple room, only the first one enters and the door slams in the faces of the other two as they try to enter, briefly barring them from entry and freezing them in the door way.

In walks the mobs in the new room which are hyper focused on the door, see two exiles stuck trying to get the room and given free time to rain in-holy retribution on the interlopers while they are powerless to do anything (being stuck in the doorway).

After a brief second, the door finally gives way as if it wasn't there in the first place and if you've survived the free attacks from the room mobs, you are still barred from entering the room because now there are 14 mobs crowded at the door way. Now, however, you are in the room and the door has slammed shut behind you meaning you are the ham in a ham sandwich caught between the wheat bread (the door) and the cheese (the 14 mobs who were attracted by your failure to make it through the doorway) and you die anyway, not being able to move, dodge or leap out of the situation.

the mechanic seems to be that the first person in the room enters freely through the door, the door closes behind them briefly barring entry to any other party members. The door then relents allowing entry to the remaining party members but in that delay to open, the remaining party members are at the mercy of the mobs in the room. Especially bad if you are entering the room of the dreaded ax-man mini-boss because he seem to be primed to leap towards the door to get a free massive axe-swing at anything stuck in the doorway.

This is not fun, this is not a strategy to avoid or a lesson to be learned (aside from not party-playing the temple). This is just a lame bug that needs to be fixed to make the temple playable.
