Well, yes, I have. Being from Australia, the little meter at the top right corner of the HUD is at one bar all the time.
Lockdown is pretty much hell. Blast Network is impossible. -_-
Why does my battle sprite not respond most of the time?
With one bar, don't expect it to respond at all. Mine don't respond to me with one bar (when I'm playing with a host on US server) - exactly like in your case, calling animations work, but sprite respond with several minutes delay if at all. Fortunately I have EU server when I can use sprite without issues.
I guess you'll have to wait for Oceania servers before you really start using sprites. For now just enjoy the perks they provide.
I can play with a US host and im super fast and I play on EU servers but I know what you mean my friend was raging about it so your not the only one suffering
It's def. a ping issues... which seems kind of odd. You'd think it'd be a bound action like a weapon swing or shield - though it's delayed it still works all the time. Then again, it's java...
Two days, a Java VM update, a level up and a move to the European server later, it seems to be working a lot better.
But thanks, guys, you've made me feel a bit better about it.
You have 1 bar, I have the issue when I lag as well.
The sprites very rarely if at all, respond when you have 1 bar.
But you shouldn't rely on skills anyway, kind of annoying though.
Yeah I'm from Australia and this happens all the time, it's just because of the lag. God damn you Australia and your horrible internet.
It could be that lag is preventing your sprite to respond, have you been experiencing lag?
