[Known Issue] Teleporters

Hey all!
We're just about ready to bring the Foundry editor back up, and have identified an issue where teleporters may have unexpectedly moved.
You don't need to go in and fix their locations - we're working on a fix that will move them back to their original position (teleporters placed right now may also move).
For this reason, we're keeping reviews disabled for the moment, to ensure that your teleporter-laden quests don't receive bad reviews due to this bug. Once we've fixed the issue, we'll republish those quests and re-enable reviews.
Cheers!

Just log in and enter this week's featured quest, "Answer the Raven's Call," and you will see it. However, please don't leave it a negative review like so many others have been doing the last two days, because it's NOT the author's fault.
My quest used the same map, and is also DESTROYED. I was able to just log in to the foundry and pull it a few minutes ago. Trishani does not have that privilege as hers is FEATURED. It's making me sick to see her quest sitting there getting attacked and badmouthed because of the 10,000 TREES, and all everyone else wants to talk about is the portals being off a little bit.

EDIT: Perhaps you might start a 'known issues' thread for everything, not just the teleporters, so both authors and devs can have a one-stop reference thread. Include workarounds where known, of course
Teleporters are of course very important to fix as well. I'm glad the dev's are working on it. My maps also had teleporters that were affected. I do appreciate Zeirlynn's effort to make sure my foundry has not been over looked since hundreds of people yesterday tried to play my map thinking it was meant to be a wall-to-wall jungle.
Lucky were the authors who's teleporters broke the map so it couldn't be finished, and therefore folks couldn't leave any reviews.
I hope the dev's are working on this map specific problem as well, and won't turn reviews back on until both issues are fixed.

I had a friend do the same yesterday, but it was pushed off the 1st page fairly quickly. But hopefully some will notice!!
In positive news, I have confirmation the dev's are working on the issue. I hope they can push a fix through soon, since reviews are still going.

How about just rolling back this entire f'd up patch and taking it all back to the drawing board. This update is a complete fail!
It's disappointing. Just checked out Danger in the Sky to see if the teleporters are working. Nope. But the player doesn't find out until about 1/3 of the way into the adventure, at which point the lack of being able to teleport properly results in a show-stopper.
I was going to jump into the Foundry and try and fix 'em, but then I stumbled upon this thread. THANK GOODNESS! It would have been much more frustrating to fix them only to have a patch break them again.
I know everyone wants to Foundry editing to be up right now, but seriously... it should be disabled until the TP issue (not to mention the endless giant trees!) are fixed. If players create new adventures with teleporters, or if they fix their old ones, and then all those Foundry quests are broken again by an update... well... it's already been a frustratingly bumpy update with the Feywild. Why add to the misery?
I hate to say it, but maybe the Foundry should be taken offline until this gets fixed. I agree with the point that it might upset some authors if all of a sudden all their teleports break again, especially those authors that used the full budget for them.
My main concern is the apparent ability to still review quests even though reviewing was allegedly disabled.
@Moonchips
New reviews seem disabled today. I have gotten more plays, but no new reviews since last night.

I think they have been fixed -- I tried one of my republished quests (Old Magic) which has alot of teleporters in it and they were all fine.

I don't know what the problem was with the other portals, but the spawn point on these has been moved to just below the middle of the visual effect instead of being at the bottom. Portals that looked like they were above ground now look almost half buried. Moving the portal 6 feet upward so that the visual effect is above ground causes players to spawn 6 feet in the air.
Just logged in to my quest A Missing Man (NW-DIVDJMFXJ).
Had a "bad" review, that pointed out my teleporter was broken.
Went in to Foundry and found that the teleporter was in fact still broken.
Have fixed, because Cryptic clearly hadn't bothered.
All The Best

Hey ronin. Last week or so, authors were told by Cryptic to fix and republish their quests - glad to see you have done this now
It seems like most problems I've seen are just a matter of 10' up or down ... having the same problem with invisible walls in my quest
(NW-DKVQRY47E "Young Tim's Dilemma") and wondering if it's related?
Invisible walls have differing "centerpoint" locations. Some are at the "bottom" edge of the wall and some are dead center and some are on a bottom corner. Just to keep authors tearing their hair out. What good fun those devs have!

Here's the kicker: In 2D they are exactly where I want them, so I have no idea what's up nor anyway to fix this that I can see. Anyone else having this problem before I post in the bug forum?

I am having this issue with the ladder teleport... and most teleports don't stick where I want them. When adjusting in 3D edit, the interact boxes are moved far afield of where the actual interact/portal is usable.
Additionally, the path the player walks is in the air along with the teleporters, checked the Y coordinates multiple times, adjusted it to zero altitude, geometry... still nothing.
