I am currently questing in Wintertusk (and Dragonspyre) but in Wintertusk I am wandering Sudrilund for the first time and I'm getting pulled into battles even when I'm nearly on the wall. People mostly just abandon me because they'd just almost finished the battle. So, it's happening when people are almost done with battles. I'm very confused.
I would say it might be both. Check your internet connection, because sometimes Wizard101 loses connection for a bit and then it teleports you somewhere random. Just try to stay somewhere in your house with good connection. IF this doesn't work, it might be a glitch with the game.
The problem you're experiencing might be caused by lag or brief internet interruptions.
Before you play: Make sure you have a strong, steady WiFi signal Make sure your software is up-to-date Close any programs and apps that you don't need when running Wizard101 Run anti-virus and malware scans to make sure you don't have an infection slowing you down
In the game: Stick to "perfect" realms as much as you can If there are wizards battling in the area and you aren't questing with them, change realms Try playing during off hours like early morning or late at night Try using a slender mount such as a broomstick, candy cane, a horse, or one of the cats (the really big mounts can get snagged more easily). Or, dismount and walk past them. Try following BEHIND the monsters instead of going towards them head-on.
In Sudriland: I think I remember being caught more often if I went to the left when I first went in. Try swinging around to the right instead and see if that helps. Once you get up to where the witch bird and the storm mobs are (beyond the ice barrier), just do your best to hug the wall on the right. Wait for a gap before you try to slip through.
