Still my oppinion that Friday the 13th should become a standard Unlucky event.
It was discussed last Fri-13, but the idea still needs some... Growth.
Of course, it's not possible now with the current Friday dealing with something about Arenas and battles (or something), but ANet should think about it in the future.
Or something.
Discuss.
Unlucky for you... x3

Guess it can't be too hard. So why not? As long as the boardwalk isn't open at the time!

Would be interesting and different...

Yeah, if april fools can be one then why not friday the 13th. Like That day only100 unlucky points if you break a lockpick. Or im sure they could get creative with something like that. But if they do it i would like to see something besides that happen. Like have a mask that whenever you wear it in a town you get knocked down in a town. Im pretty sure there are 2 or 3 fri 13ths in a year.

i would rather Anet concentrate on skill imbalance, improving trade, banning bots, doing something... anything... against leechers than coming up with designs, scripts, content for Unlucky day. No offence to you/your idea.

Heh, they could disable all rare items/material drops for the day.

All armor has a 10% chance to break when attacked.
All weapons have a 25% chance of shattering when used.
For every monster killed, 2 spawn, and you gain 5% DP.

I wonder how many people actually know the cause of the supposed "bad luck" of Friday 13th...
Hint: Go do research into the Knights Templar
EDIT-
Thought I would mention I am 100% against this - I hate everything that supports superstitious crap. I'm also not a big fan of the holidays - especially those related to Christianity (Halloween, Christmas, ect.), mostly because of how these holidays came about.

Lol. Sorry if the idea was a bit unclear.
I was thinking they could just make your character randomly fall down in Towns and Outposts.
Maybe even make a drop (like the Lucky Shamrocks) - like Black Cat Fur or something - that if you double click, you move 10% slower, have 5 less armor, and attack 10% slower, but adds 10 to your unlucky title and makes nearby foes fall down randomly? PvE only, of course.
Lol. Like I said: Not very well thought out. Just wanted to know everyone elses thoughts.

You guys aren't kidding when you say "unlucky day". It would definately make things interesting on Friday the 13th, especially if you forgot what day of the week it was.

Aslong as the events or games that happened were fun during the day I wouldnt complain. But if the entire day was just tourture on the player with reduced gold, and inflictions then it would soon get tedious.
I just wouldnt play if the entire day was one big negitive effect syndrom.

How about:
Unlucky day:
Everywhere you go you have a 90% chance to lag to high heaven and rubber band everywhere so that any drops you get can be picked up by the nearest person to you that isn't lagging.
Oh no sorry we did that last weekend!
Seriously I'd like the 4...itchy...tasty back

Come on, you cant be serious about losing the money and broking your weapons and all that crap. If that is done that will be the day with less player in the history of GW.

just doubling the unlucky points with lockpicks would be too low... perhaps giving 500 points for each broken lockpick...
and to make it more fun... random knockdowns in PvE and PvP... imagine the moment an assassin was going to use shadow prison he gets knocked down or a zb monk gets knocked down while casting zb xD
this would be fun...
perhaps having some crows as part of the armor... and i think friday 13th only happens twice a year... if not only once...

I am all for this idea, I think it would be alot of fun, and a good time to go treasure hunting.

My goodness, reading through some of the suggestions, it certainly won't make it a bad luck day for me, it would make it the worst guild wars day in my life!
I think some people needs to identify the differences between total torture and a bit of bad luck...
In any case, I do hope something special or different will happen in GW on Friday the 13th to symbolize it's a day more prone to experiencing a string of bad luck or unluck events!

Not only lag to high heaven, but just die periodically, so you blame it on lag even though you just got picked at random to be godsmacked by Anet. That would be so funny...
"Don't worry dude, I got your res!"
*attempts to res dead player*
"Almost the...wtf???"
But I'm sure someone would kill the fun and whine to Anet about how a periodical death would kill their UW or FOW or DoA group.
*Note* The death wouldn't defeat your Survivor title...or would it. oO

Why have an event for something that's in peoples' minds? I mean, they either think it's unlucky because they're superstitious, or they treat it like every other normal day. It's not a big deal.
The number 13 is just a number, nothing else.
