Bandit does not seem to be unlocking again this year after throwing mannny items into the bonfire. [/u] Other users mention experiencing the same issue again this year after throwing a few hundred in [/u]

I can confirm I still dont have bandit either :'(

Last year I gave more than 1500 items and nothing!

This year I gave 50-100 items and nothing.

I have Bandit as a challenger, but I didn't get any notice that I unlocked him. Could I still have him from a previous year?

@ Balloon Mine is still there in the challengers event tab from the first year I unlocked him. Is he there for you?

Also, shout out to this thread for reminding me that there were fireside challengers. I was about to look like a huge dunce not battling any before it ended.

[edit] Also, I believe this person unlocked the Bandit on the first day of Fireside. It seems to be working in some capacity? url=https://subeta.net/forums.php/gotopost/64971042[/url] Not sure if it is actually the case. Staff should look into it.

Ouch.

I just turned in several more and nothing. I went back to the original news post from November 2015 and Amber mentioned it shouldn't take dozens of items so I still think there's something going on.

I'll keep tossing items in if my luck really is that bad but....i just cant imagine this particular challenger being intended to be so rare for some of us to get.

i think the issue is that bandit will steal his five items or whatever, but won't actually unlock once he's done stealing things. (so, perhaps there's something wrong with the bonfire when he's supposed to unlock, like how maybel's unlock method broke for a bit when the item use page was updated.)

hey, i know you were seeing bandit steal from you at the beginning of the event, is he available for you to fight now?

No, he isn't available to me as a challenger. I also didn't get a notification saying he was available for battling if that counts for anything.

thanks the confirmation! looks like he's still broken, then :c

bandit is still broken -- is this something you guys can deal with at all (like the morostide challengers that didn't unlock right away for everyone), or is it something that needs to fix? (also, is whatever's broken affecting the seasonal cursed effigy's unlock or just bandit?) seasonal effigy is fine, it's just bandit

I have Cursed Effigy unlocked so it might not be the same problem.

oh, that's good to know!
