Your entry and exit portals are too far apart.

Your entry and exit portals are too far apart.

This may be the problem. If you place the exit portal too far away from the entry portal, people can’t use it. The entry and exit portals are restricted by ‘radar range’ (approximately 2500 units).

I have my minimap set to the full size (big square). When using Portal I zoom in all the way on the minimap and note my current position. The horizonal and vertical edges of the map are approximately ‘radar range’ so they give me a rough indication where I could still place my exit portal and have it still function.

Ofcourse, it would be a lot better if the Portal would have its own internal range indicator (the small red bar) as this would work much more reliably than having to use a zoomed in minimap to guesstimate the range.

I’ve noticed this on uneven landscapes for portals that are in range. I was running portal chain drills in the Mists once and occasionally the Portal Entrance was unable to be used (though clearly within the confines of portal range). Sometimes there was a “sweet spot” to get the portal to work if you tapdanced a little. It seems rare from what I’ve seen in combat, though.
