Why 44 blades specifically?

Go ahead and tell me how this isnt a nerf. And dont tell me ,,Its just to make it more alinged to his ither changes", because like i said, even if thats the case, its STILL a nerf to this certein aspect.
But what the hell could anyone possible expect from you at this point after some of your posts?

Doesn’t change that over 25% of the amount of breathing room you had went out the ######### window

Same as the survivors breathing room funny enough

Gee almost as if the Trickster changes did nothing but make him even more annoying to face and infinitely worse to play or something

Guess what bro, Trickster still on J Tier (Joke Tier). I didn t like his appearence because to me he doesn t feel Nice in Dbd universe but i am not a dev so complain is all i can do. Trickster looks like Joker Son from Batman movies/games, the only thing that i liked on him was his neon bat and his awesome kunais the rest is just a shame... If devs wanna fix Trickster they just need to increase his movement speed and thats all... So many "changes" when they just needed to buff his speed...

either that, or some animation stuff. how many were there before again?

Probably has something to do with the number of blades the average player uses to down someone.

Oh man, 41 is a prime number. You guys would have loved THAT.

Lol true prime numbers should always hold a special place in ones heart I often wonder if a lot of people complaining about this suffer from a form of triskadekaphobia or however you spell that. ie the fear of 13

Don't you dare.

I feel like an (and imo, most likely) answer was already given in this very thread. Almo’s refusal to answer (while still saying there is a reason) tells me that it’s a bit of an easter egg of sorts. Just saying “Oh yeah, it’s average amount of holes in a Swiss cheese” would ruin the novelty.
I can’t speak for everyone, as there may be some genuine cases of OCD here, but y’all freaking out over a number not divisible by 5 or 6 need to calm down. It’s not like you hit every single one of your blades, so the whole “but it’s x health states” point is moot anyhow.
48 would’ve looked even more arbitrary. 42 could maybe have worked, but you’d need to stretch your imagination to have that reference make sense for Trickster.

The devs are weirdos

First wanna establish I agree on this. But what’s bothering me is why they didn’t do 45. 8 to 6 makes the knives 25% more lethal so why couldn’t it be 25% less knives and be 45.

Do you know the significance of the number "4" in Korean culture?

Lol it was hard injuring/downing someone with 60 knives on Xbox One. I know I am going to lose chases because of those 16 knives. Survivors aren't as helpless against him as they claim. Honestly his knives seem to have a mind of there own. This coming from someone who (not like to brag) but pretty darn good with hatchets/redeemer. Idk I will keep practicing with him to get better but I know where I'm aiming but the blades don't care.

Do you know the significance of the number 5 to my satisfaction
0 -
We use the same decimal numbering system, so yes, I do.
0 -
Then you surely understand the importance of one more knife being added

I feel like the cultural significance might outweigh the missing blade.

Yeah, I first ran into this as a thing that 4 is considered related to death in Japanese culture... I guess it's something that's common in other countries as well. If that's the reason, that's not too bad of a callout for this character.
Whenever I wake up and it's 4:44, I wonder....

Or my language (Vietnamese), 4 pronounced as "TỨ", which is similar to "TỬ" means death.
In Feng Shui, the stairs always have to be (4 x ?) + 1. Which is either 5, 9, 13 ect. Because each step presences
- "Born"
- "Aged"
- "Sickness"
- "Death"
And the circle repeat. This is similar to most East Asia countries.
44 is an odd number, but it has its meaning.

Maybe. And admittedly the cultural thing is neat. I just can’t help be a wee bit irked by it.

Culture is also why you and I (and most people) find it off-putting in the first place.
0 -
Yeah fair enough. I hope it was clear that I was joking about my personal satisfaction outweighing a neat cultural thing
2 -
Because this is a satanic game and 44 is an evil number in gematria. Look it up.

Hey Almo, can you at least give us a PROPER answer to the question of this thread. It's funny that you responded ironically to the 41 or 39 reply, but still haven't responded properly to why trickster's blades were reduced to 44?
Is it that much of a secret? Will the entire world collapse if you tell us why you did that?
You have a strong reason why you did that. We'd like to know as well, as customers of the game who pay for DLC's so that you continue develop the game...
Thanks!

I'm sure it's a 500 IQ reason, like the tricksted power.
0 -
why not 300 knives? omg...

we all know 42 is the answer

44 is death death
0 -
4 means death, mostly in Asia. So 44 means "death death"
0 -
More precisely it would mean "death ten death"
