On my mid-sized server, there werent any shouts for Gigas. So either they were all done via statics, or people werent doing it. Maybe my server didnt get the memo that magic bursting water would OHKO all the gigas, since you seem to be implying it.

The same cant be said for this month, as people are clearly shouting for it all day long.

Yea Gigas month was great if you could get nukers strong enough to put down the main Gigas NM in one skillchain, I'm pretty surprised SE gave us a month even easier than that one seeing how last month with the Mamool was pretty time consuming/difficult to clear. Maybe the activation range on Quelching Hammer combined with Gravity was something they didn't think of.

Given the competition I had for getting KIs, I can safely say that the Gigas were being done quite frequently.

I think this question qualifies under the current update.

Is there anything new from the Halloween event? Is it just the Botolus Rex suit we got a year ago?

Well SE said they were "pleased with how the Poroggo fight turned out" (according to Dasva on BG but I dont know what his source was), so who knows.

If there were anything new, it would have been in the .dat mine (there wasn't).

Don't think they've added anything new to seasonal events for quite some time now :-( Most new cosmetic type gear has been from login points campaigns.

I think the fight itself is pretty lame.

Either you kill it as fast as you can before it kills you.
Or you use the kiting method.

Thats because there are like 6 gigas on Alky's floor and 8 Gigas on Pallas' floor, and thats the only camp. There are groups of 4-5 gigas spread around 3 spots far far apart in Vunkerl Inlet (S), so those ones are probably ruled out.

The amount of viable Toad camps vastly eclipse the singular Gigas camp.
Reisenjima
Toraimarai (short run from the HP)
Rala
Marjami
Foret

You seem to be confusing yourself into thinking that because there is a singular viable camp and everyone is pigeonholed into that one spot for another KI implies that "Gigas were done quite frequently".

Yep, I was equally pleased with how it turned out also.....

Xarcabard (S)? It's not hard to look at names and jobs and see that there were quite a few parties that were spamming it. And again, I'm not saying it was done at an equal level with this month's, but rather that it was done with a high relative frequency. Had more people paid attention and realized that they had raised the point values (they patched it in a week after the initial release), I have no doubt even more people would have done it.

Anyone getting sick of Ambuscade yet? :S

Over 120,000 Total Hallmarks and counting, and I'm still not done collecting all the REM materials and such.

At least the event is fun with friends and stuff.

Not that there's a rampant epidemic of obesity or anything in Vana'diel, but the Track Suit set promotes a sense of overall fitness and well being - or something.

Actually it does look cool.

It has been out for a while, my Galka has the track pants (but he's still fat WTF!?).

I think the shirt, however, is new, which completes the set. The shirt actually should have been a muscle shirt for Galkas, so you could see our gains when we walk.

Not sure. I've done this (and continue to do) with SMN and occasionally PUP, but not BST as of yet.
