Friday 13th Event?

Our Guild Leader went into FoW last night and the party got no significant drops.

OK, it wasn't Friday the 13th yet, but he just told me about it. And I guess nobody wants a truly unlucky day playing GW.

No drops in FoW. Level 2 monsters kill you no matter what you do. there's a bug in the mission timers so they drop to zero minutes just as you start fighting. Soul reaping gets nerfed ... oh wait, that already happened last Friday.

OK I've had my cheap jab, now onto the main business. What do you think would be fun in a Friday 13th event?

Do we get to fight Black Cats? Do ladders mysteriously appear for us to walk under? Do we get drops of spilled salt to throw over our shoulders to ward off the bad luck?

how about lots of lag and rubberbanding when u REALLY wanna play..... oh.....wait...... thats allready happening.

I want Freddy Krueger stalking everyone! ^_^ WOOT!

I suddenly want a Black Cat mini pet.

btw, since I was born on Friday the 13th, that's a lucky day for me. =^_^=

How bout they release GW2....would that be bad?

Could have been worse. You could have been born on a Feb 29. Imagine trying to explain to your date you can't buy a beer.

I think you should have a chance to boost your "Unlucky" title up.

...

Then again... I think too much, sometimes.

i suppose legally speaking if you're 72 (84 in the US) when you go on the date you'd be ok, but methinks you'd probably be better with a nice hot mug of cocoa

You drop whatever weapon you're carrying when you die, and only the mobs can loot it (and they do).

Everyone gets lots of ectos from every monster they kill and, in the evening, the servers die and get reverted to last wednesday.

Because years are a time period, and not a correspondant annual number, your birthday would fall in Feb 28 three years out of four.

..carry on.

I agree, seems the logical "event"....but I get the feeling this thread has little to do with "logic"

When you sell anything at a merchant, a random item (including your held items) is sold instead. (merchant lag!)

When you enter an explorable area, your skillbar is replaced with the previous build you loaded. (sorry guys, I forgot to switch from my farming build before we left!)

GW reboots every time a gold item drops for you, and you can't reconnect for 11 minutes. (Arrrrgh!)

You mysteriously die just before achieving a flawless victory in any arena. (WFT?)

Most of these ideas are not very good for events... 90% of them are detrimental to the player. Imagine if the random item got sold instead of your merchant food was your gold req 8 15^50 crystalline... Sure it may be funny to you people when a newbie yells "WHY DID IT SELL MY WEAPON NOOOOO" but how funny is it when your items are wasted due to a planned glitch?

Events are supposed to be fun... not ruin people's accounts, characters, and time, and interest in the game...

omg, i can imagine the newspapers-
1,000,000 GW players suicide this friday. cause: They have lost 4 Ectos.

I was about to laugh this off thinking that an event for Fri 13th would be a waste, but that's actually not a bad idea at all...

How about broken drops that are worseless, that way you add toward your unlucky title.

This was offtopic but I found it rather fascinating, I got 3 golds today, a +30hp sword hilt and a shard kind of odd for Friday the 13th AND I saw a black cat today (before said items).

i dont think there is any friday 13th event... gaile gray or someone else had told us that there is something

As long as hench and heros share drops, every day is Friday the 13th.
