this bug is happening to me since i tried battle sprite at the testing server. my battle sprite wont attack or use any skill of it, it just pointing/poking the air when i press the action key for the skill. some people says it because of delay due to low connectivity on the server(i live in australia btw). any way this bug can be fixed?

Same here
Even I seem to be having the same problem ever since I got the Sprite. Iv even met a few players who faced the same problem. Really hoping one of the dev could reply to this post.

Same here too
I've got the exact same problem, it does the had signal but doesn't attack. (Btw I also live in Australia)

Sprite wont attack on command
Also getting this problem. i spent all day testing it, nothing happened. I also live in Australia, so that might be a factor.

Battle Sprite screwed up??!
I have the same problem here.
I repeatedly spam the sprite action button but my sprite just stays there and stares at me as if I'm stupid.
I'm in Australia but I have no problems with lag since my computer is ninja-speed.
When I use my sprite attack, there's a 5% chance that my sprite will attack, but that's after about 20 clicks.
If it doesn't attack, then I'm doomed because I can't shield, attack, dash or shield bash while my knight repeatedly points at the air while running around. This can be a problem when there's wave after wave of enemies, such as FSC.
I hope this is fixed soon.

Are you on a red connection?
A guildie of mine said if our connection is red than it won't work? o.o
I live in NZ so i'm pretty much always red ._. mine aren't working either but idk if that's the reason why

Solution!
Heya,
I had this same problem when I first returned and got to play with a sprite.
I found out that if you press and hold the sprite action button (not spamming it), it'll eventually use the skills.
Hope it helps!

Can I sit down? The sky keeps swirling around.
AU here. It consistently works for me when I play in US servers (4 out of 5 button presses has the pet actually trigger skill), but in EU all bets are off.

I have this issue when I use
I have this issue when I use a computer with high pings, 45ms to ping to ISP, but when I use a computer with better ping, 6ms to ping ISP, there is no issue. BTW the chance of skill going off is like 30 percent.
BTW is the forum forum search function as good as useless? I tried to find this thread with keywords but couldn't find it, then I created a duplicate thread before scanning this one manually....

Same here.
Solo : 1-3 time pointing until sprite attacks.
1-2 teammates : 3-8 (less or more) time pointing until sprite attacks.
3 teammates : 8-(forever) time pointing forever/until sprite attacks.
(Low 1 bar connection (or less))

It's definitely lag, but it's a bug anyway
It's definitely lag, but it's still a game bug, obviously the time it takes for the activation packet to get to the server and the sprite code respond is too long somehow so it ignores the command.
but since the game works with shields, attacking and everything else it's just a coding oversight.. They'll fix it soon I hope.
It's been a constant pain in the rear since sprites were released.
I'm already in pain from the atrocious lag I have to put up with, but now that pipsqueek is just ignoring me too? Thats just nails in my coffin. :)
The issue causes a number of bad side effects:
1) Autofiring sprite, that will repeat the last command everytime the timer stops, you can stop this by opening chat (enter) or going to the next level of the dungeon
2) Infinite command animation: again open chat to abort this bug once this happens you can only run around and pick up throwables.

This can be a bug, but I think it has nothing to do with...
This CAN be a bug, and I do want to see it fixed, but there's nothing to do with the red bar connection. I have the red bar connect pretty much everyday when I'm online, yet my pet obeys me pretty much 90% of the time. There could be a bug that's making this happen, but I don't think your Internet connection to the server's causing this.

I dont know why but...
I dont know why, it use to listen to me, but for the past few days it just ignores me...and make the cute noise...and I always ended up saying "but I fed you!!!" anyway I think its a bug and hope they fix it cuz all that bonus damage to monster families are just useless till they do.

I have been having the exact same problem. I'm at least glad I'm not the only one. it means it's a bigger bug than I thought and they should be getting it fixed soon. I just sent a support request before happening upon this thread.

Obedience
I used to have this problem but when I fed my pet some high star materials my pet seems to become more obedient. Either that or it's just a bug. But sometimes I have to click it rapidly for it to work and then when the cool down is over I just keep on doing the command thing until it fires???

I'm not sure how i fixed it
I'm not sure how i fixed it but it would never work for me earlier, i opened the spanner at the bottom left of the screen, and just kinda went through all the menus to see if i could find a problem, then i just clicked the Options (esc) button in there, and went through each screen, i also clicked in general the dropdown box "Region: From IP" but didn't change it, and now it works? lol, but it seems for sure to be lag, unless there's something about the settings and keybindings that breaks often, like a trigger or something but i've no idea, they should fix the latency issues as the effects when the fireball explodes and makes the screen shake kinda, it happens for a split second, like a volcano is going to explode then stops.

Server speed and connection could play a part
I more often than not have been able to use my sprite skills as soon as I issue them, but I see many players with this problem. I've experienced this as well, but it seems to only occur when my connection is weak, I have 1 bar, or the server itself is having problems. I can only guess that the two are linked as it seems those who are having this problem are also players who play SK on a laptop or regular lag often.

same problem
I've tried spamming the sprite button, pressing it then left clicking, holding it down then shift, etc etc. Occasionally it works, but I'll have been quite mauled already by then.
I don't think latency is the reason; otherwise, you shouldn't be able to shoot your gun either.
Playing from the Philippines, btw.

Still having the problem
I'm still having the problem with my battle sprite and I am getting annoyed. I don't think it has something to do with lag or bad connection, at least in my case because one of my friends was having the same problem and his computer is way faster than mine. Of course, his sprite spontaneously started working while mine still won't do anything no matter how many times I command it.
This seriously sucks! I mean, I've been having this problem for more than a month! I've even sent like a dozen bug reports.

so far i cant find the solution though i know the problem
i can prove that lag is the main issue, i've tried playing at several locations with different connection speed and computer performance system and the outcome is pretty much obvious. for laggy players, i suggest holding down the command button longer until the sprite respond instead of spamming it. if u spam too much u will ended up poking ur finger for the whole level without able to do anything. if the sprite still didn't respond, u must have very bad connection.

I Spent So Much CR on My Maskeraith
I tried using the attacks of my Sprite but it didn't attack. After a while (50 - 100 times) It worked.
Some Knights say it is because of the network connection.......I agree
I have a bad connection 1 bar and laggy as hell
My Cousin's have a bad connection too 1 bar but no lagg whatsoever
It works on the first try.
- Pure :3
