When the battle sprites came out today, together with the new world and currency, we were so excited about it, after patching our clients, we immediately finished all the missions, to finally get our first Battle Sprites. Everything was going good, we were indeed happy about OOO did for us, CE or mist is no longer needed for crafting,elevators and revives, from the clockworks to lockdown. But there's one thing that cracked the smiles out of our faces, my friends and guild members, we observed that the battle sprites are BUGGED, because whenever we command a sprite to unleash a skill, the sprite releases the skill late, also, we have to press the assigned keys for their skills, multiple times, or hold em down, till we see the skill released. it takes 2,3 and the longest was 10, times to see the skill released from every battle sprite.

We don't know what's causing all this, we don't know if it's LAG,Delay or in our connection, coz most of my friends who complained, live in Asia, Philippines, and we have 1 Bar connection, nationwide.

OOO Please fix this problem, the new update was wonderful,

Please don't let the smiles on our faces, CRACK. :)

As I said before

Usually your sprite is not next to you so that command is calling the sprite to you. There also seems to be a cooldown on pressing the button for about a second. And when lagging, much like the shield it will not respond in time.

As much as I understand the "calling the sprite to you" part, sprites commands seem to be "when we feel like it", rather than "on-demand".

Blaming lag for the issue is silly. The issue isn't timing; it's the sprite blatantly disregarding your command.
As for the cooldown on the button, I don't see any point in it. From what I expected from sprites, it would be pressing a key/button, the sprite executes the command, and then an ability cooldown timer is triggered. Easy stuff.

If we assume the issue isn't sprites not getting commands, possibly it's an issue with the "come to me" command. The sprite might be comparing it's "with knight" position; if it not equal, then it executes the command you mention, rather than the skill assigned. The issue being it's expecting a precise location, not getting one, and executing the wrong command. If that's the case, then it's a bug.

Otherwise, are Sprites just naturally disobedient? Is this OOO's pushing the "it might fail" onto Sprites as well as leveling? Could it be packet loss or corrupt packets leading to the server only receiving sprites commands every so often?

"Blaming lag for the issue is silly"

Actually, the problem you are referring to is definitely lag. I had the same symptoms when I was connected to a VPN from the States to the UK and back.

Disconnecting from the VPN resolved the issue.

Now it's certainly possible the sprite command code needs to be optimized to handle lag properly, but the issue is definitely lag related.

I made a bug report for the skills not working here:

...

I can only assume Sprite command packets have a timeout applied to them, which is lower than most Oceania players' latency. Resulting in the server requesting a re-send. Due to the timeout, you end up with the constant "re-run the command" issue many are encountering.

Outside of that, I've no idea.

Well, this also happened to

Well, this also happened to me (actually, is still happening). I was so psyched-up with the arrival of the new sprites, ran through all the missions (didn't use their skills yet, though) and then picked a drakon. Then i pressed [1]. Nothing happened. I pressed it again. Still, nothing happened. After doing that like ten times, out of sheer desperation i mashed the button (poor little fella, daddy got nothing against you, i promise). My knight then kept doing this "I command you, sprite!" action repeatedly. It also overrides all actions except moving (that includes charging, dashing, attacking, swapping weapons). It also persists through death (yes, i did try to stop it by dying). He finally stopped after i shouted my desperation to my teammates. Apparently, saying anything works as an override to stop the dumb action i've been doing for the last 3 minutes, forcing me to kite all the mobs while getting yelled at by my teammates for "being an absolute burden for the team". Yet still, after all that queue, my sprite did nothing, not even flinch.

TL;DR Sprite refuses to do anything. No lag, connection fine.
