Any ETA for a fix or at least an acknowledgement that foundry respec is bugged?

The foundry is limited as it is, but now my character is also useless. I tried everything I could think of, but no powers can be trained and no abilities added. I don't want to finish a complete questline only to find out afterwards that it is either way too hard or easy after publishing it. I'd like to be able to test it in the foundry as we are supposed to.
I have been googling this problem, but I can't find any official statement that they are even working to fix it, let alone an ETA on a fix. Did I miss it or have they been completely ignoring this problem so far?
As it stands my character is completely useless and can't even be set back to lvl 1, or at least I have not found the option to reset my character to working order.

It sucks running around with base stats of 0.

TL;DR PerfectWorld is a horrible company~
In generally, you have to just hope someday they will get to fixing it, cause they will rarely ever tell you before hand they even know about it.
And I agree about PW being horrible. I think they are mostly the reason this stuff goes on for so long, as they pressure Cryptic, who is doing the actual development, to pump about and focus on the things that will make PW more and more money, and so the Foundry, which is the only feature of the game that is not monetized at all, gets set aside...because it makes PW no money.

If you respec to a level 20 character you will get a mount in your inventory.
The fact that the foundry characters don't have access to the basic companions is in my eyes a big oversight as well, but one problem does not make another problem right. Even with the lack of a companion you can at least get a notion whether or not the difficulty is around what you want it to be. That is if you have a working foundry character.
Without one, you can't even come close to testing it. The only things you can look at are the easy, standard and hard encounters as they are described and your experience with other foundry missions. There are so many things that can completely change a difficulty though. Like a doorway making melee groups easier because you can stop them surrounding you, or corners with mixed groups making the dumb AI of the ranged npc's work for you since they don't come around the corner as long as you stay close enough. Snipers positioned at hard to get to places, ambushes, etc, etc.
I just want a way to test them before I publish and yes that also means we should have access to the basic companions at half the lvl of your working respecced character.
Hope this helps. First hit respec and spec your foundry character to lvl 21. Then ,in the story window, set your starting point or map up as protectors enclave. Then you should be able to hit the "Play from beginning of story" in the upper right corner of the story window. When you enter Protectors enclave all of the NPCs will be available. If the quest to go get your companion is not already in your log then you should be able to get it from Sergeant Knox and play it out as if you were in game. This worked for me and it also makes vendors and invoking available as well. Then all you need is to set up a map transition to the area/areas you want to test. This doesn't fix the Op's problem but perhaps it will do some good anyway. I hope my explanation of how to do this is clear as I'm very new at the foundry myself.
Yep, and I've been able to lvl over 40 with my Author avatar.

I've been running tests with my Author at 60 to see how hard the mobs are at that level, and wow, what a pain! Granted, I've been testing with the GWF since I've heard a lot of complaints about them being under-powered. It still amazes me that even with fully leveled cleric companion and a mess of lvl 60 potions the elites and solos usually kill me at least once per fight. Granted, I've no clue how to effectively use a GWF, but it really seems the mobs at 60 are just nasty.
It's easy to level up your foundry Author beyond 41, just make a one room map with a the reward chest right next to the spawn point. Preview the map, loot the chest, CTRL-R, rinse and repeat... you level up quite fast, although its still tedious. I wouldn't mind if they made the respec a little more comprehensive though!
Still remains the main problem though of being unable to add powers and such to your character once bugged.

You guys know you can place your reward chest in an unobtainable location, publish the quest, accept in the live game and play it? Share with friends if you need to.
Seriously, the respec bug is a pain but it's not by any means game breaking as some of you are making it out to be.
Not game breaking maybe but truly a pain. Count the steps needed to check/fix something in what you suggest.
With a respec you can verify traps, flip to a GF and verify jumps, see if squishy's survive. And all 3 could be done between preview and the maps window faster than one check for traps with a necessary fix could be done flipping between live and foundry.
The only way this will Ever get fixed is to complain about it. Staying passive will not shift its priority one tic.
Fix it...
