Every body gangsta until TierZoo says there’s a new balance patch coming to the game.
@Austin Grady Yeah I really think the modding community will really keep the game fun but some players think that’s inhuman or something
@@wet0wl these are the players that play op classes and don't want their reign to end.
@@wet0wl Well, some players did try to manually mod the human class not long ago. They started more subtly by introducing intentional spawn choice selection, which had the intended effect of limiting the presence of higher melanin based players in the north America server from the early 20th century through today. And a couple of decades later, a small tribe of players in the European server applied a more aggressive version of this strategy to a certain faction of religious players to gain more control. Both are techniques to limit power threats by other players by limiting their spawn rates, and are highly unethical play styles. Odd thing is, while the community has called out and banded together to stamp out the latter, no one seems to care about the former which will grief way more players than even the latter. So, we really need to be careful about intentionally modding characters. Some players who are way too into "winning" the game by eliminating other players to gain power instead of letting everyone play by their own play style would misuse it.
Also, player guilds have been warning about a climate-based balance patch for decades but it's mostly just ended up being a way for those guilds to get more site traffic, and I'm not sure why any players keep buying into the hype that never comes.
@Austin Grady nah, humans have just started reverse engineering the code.
Some chinese data miners have started working on some crazy new builds by mixing Human code with Sheep code. No joke, look it up
Vampire bats are the only mammals that can sense body heat in much the same way a snake does. They're also insanely strong for their size, and are the only bats that can run.

@@Cecilia-ky3uw that would nerf the human's stamina for them to function tho, since sleeping is how they regain their ridiculously high stamina.
Me: passes biology tests because in book there's nothing
@@elpanderohabanero2915 Yeah, humans could use their technology skills to maximize time efficiency, and use that time for more sleep and calorie intake, which would provide for far higher intelligence, if speced into.
However, that would require humans to desire mates based off of intelligence; which is currently a deterrent, to humanity's detriment, especially in females, who could use the trait to massive advantage.
I use it for both.
You forgot to state, however that the bat is a really meta defining build - since it is the only thing keeping the insect player base from skyrocketing and taking down almost the entire server.I feel like thats why bats are really important for the current state of the game 💜💜💜
As a resident insect player hater i love bats
There is more to insect "natural control" than bats. They do prey on each other, to begin with. A profusion of birds also participate.
Well if any player base annoys the human mains enough the human mains won't even bother waiting for the devs to ban the insect players, the human mains will do the banning
@@pencilcase8068Yeah, that doesn't always work out. See: bedbugs, cockroaches and rats on city servers. Or, more hilariously, the event in the Australian meta known as _The Great Emu War._
@@GSBarlev don't tempt the human mains into bringing their advanced equipment, they have guns that shoot so fast it's easier to measure the cost of the ammo per minute instead. No matter how meta emus are they can't defend against that. As for the cockroaches and other friends I heard the humans have figured out how to change the code of life forms/build creating new ones. If they are pissed off enough they can create a hyper spreading disease that bans the builds they don't like.
The bat has become the meta defining build countering the ridiculously OP Humans
That does not ma- oh, oh dear
Viruses appear to be the only hard counter to humans. So much so that humans have harnessed them as weapons against other humans.

On the pandemic disease scale this is pretty minor. At it's highest lethality it was 1/10, as opposed to Smallpox which was 1/3 with a higher R, and the Plague which capped at 1/2. Smallpox killed 200,000 Europeans on average annually in the Nineteenth Century, and 500,000,000 people in the twentieth.
@@Tvtyrant2 those other diseases may have been better at spreading and infecting, but Corona is still quite a problem because it has spread so much. This has caused it to mutate in different areas, such as the new strain found here in the UK. This makes it much harder to treat because we now need multiple cures for the multiple variations in the disease.
@@Tvtyrant2 There's been what, just over a million deaths so far? In a worldwide population rapidly approaching 8 BILLION? Considering how widespread the virus is that's a pretty small kill count for what's supposed to be the apocalyptic humanity-ending super virus
To put it in perspective, over 600,000 people die of heart disease every year just in the US alone

bat
Small correction since the video came up, but micro and mega are no longer the correct terminology for these two classes of bat. They are now Yinpterochiroptera and Yangochiroptera. This is mostly because there were some species of microbat that turned out to be closer related to megabats than any other microbats despite still using echolocation and being insectovorious. Therefore, the micro and mega distinctions are no longer useful or correct.
Another thing to mention about the viability of the Yinpterochiroptera that you also left out that may alter the standings. The first being that beetles (while having better armor) are a major food source for Yinpterochiroptera, so while they might be a good build, they are the prey of these bats. Secondly, their wing structure makes them exceptionally nimble and manueverable in the air, more so than birds would ever be. Third, bat wings are more durable than you may think. Their membranes can heal over time if punctured. Finally, is that while bats are resistant to disease, they are currently highly threatened by fungus players Pseudogymnoascus destructans, which cases a status effect called "White Nose Syndrome". These fungus players attack bats while they are hibernating over the winter, damaging their skin and forcing them to warm up, thus spending their stamina during a time when they need to conserve it. This can lead to almost 90% of colonies being wiped out in a single winter. This is a very serious danger for the player base, and needs to be addressed.
Sincerely, A Bat Dataminer
The bat played that used the covid ability was a legend, probably the highest K D ratio of any player
Nope that would be mosquitoes. Since Malaria
Ok
@@ogluqqychess4452 that's kills for an entire class, this guys talkin about an individual K/D
@@bernardo8993 it was one bat? Only one singular bat
If you're going to credit the first bat that had covid with all the subsequent covid kills, then you would have to credit the first mosquito that transmitted malaria with all the malaria kills.
I don't know how those stack up against the first rat/flea team that used the Black Death on the humans, though. In relative terms I think they're the winners based on the percentage of the human players that they managed to take out at the time. Covid hasn't made a noticeable dent in the number of active human players, but when the Black Death was part of the meta the human playerbase shrunk by 25%
"They aren't very stealthy and make much more noise than other nocturnal builds"

You should really add a sensory stat in addition to the others, like how a player can detect their surroundings. For example, sharks would have a high sensory stat because they can sweep for prey, smell blood, and have okay eyesight, whereas humans have low sensory stats because we only have average sight and low hearing and smell compared to other animals.
perception would be a good name for it
And 5 senses stats

@@TheOneGaming0 he’s too powerful that’s why he’s not cannon
this is great
As a bat PhD, I’d say really nice overview of their natural history. Worth noting that they really dont need defenses as all examples of bat predation are relatively rare. Also, with over 1400 species they are the second most successful group of mammals and probably functionally the most diverse. Also some of the most beneficial animals to have around, consuming tons of insects, pollinating many flowers and dispersing seeds to regenerate tropical rains forests.
Finally, their wings are surprisingly strong and they routinely survive crashes in flight without injury. Punctures also heal over time, so I’d say this weakness is overblown. The heavy weight of their wings is also a unique feature that allows them their extraordinary maneuvering abilities.

Bats be like “enemy spotted”.
We need an “Ant Tier List” because ants have a wide variety of strategies for attack, defense, utility, and nest construction. They also have very large party sizes ranging from 1,000 players and an astonishing 1,000,000,000 players. They respawn very quickly, so it is very difficult to completely eradicate a nest.
Agreed
They have 1 defense and attack
Very invasive however

@@GeoZoo-official. He is right to be optimistic. The CDC has already finished 2 vaccines that have been approved by the FDA and are being rolled out,
The bats have decent matchups, incredible immune systems and echo location. Surely they’d lie on B tier at least
It would be cool to see biome meta breakdowns, like covering dominant builds, playstyles and environmental effects in a bunch of different locations around the world
There actually is an S tier bat, a hybrid build called the Batman. With his special ability 'prep time', he's unbeatable.
I thought his special ability was money?
@@DecafKauffee and being hyperintelligent
Batman just has a great niche in the Gotham City server, the excess of criminals gives him plenty of exp. In any other city server, he wouldn't fit in with human guilds, and would be unable to use his vigilante tactics to their fullest.
He has abyssmal matchup against the dark age of superhero movies tho
He once had an echo fighter called the 'Rorschach' build, which was pretty effective and an absolute S-Tier, specially on his justice level.
Sadly, it had a permaban from some depressed hacker who had pretty much dev. skills in the game (and even played at the Mars biome).

To be fair to bat mains, birds and bugs have had access to the flight ability for much longer and have had time to adjust their playstyles accordingly.
Also bats seem to monopolize a lot of the nocturnal niches, especially insectivorous ones, that's fully half of the average playthrough!

"the huge nerfs the human players had to deal with in 2020" no nerfs here, just the virus playerbase gatherinhg up to the once-in-every-century megaconvention
Pathogen 🦠 mains really outdid themselves this time.
That's really how the devs have been doing it. Nerf humans by buffing one of their only real remaining counters for a while. Not the best way to nerf them though as the human playerbase often just bounces back.
Not as big as the Black Plague nerf at least
I just want to say, I got a good laugh out of TierZoo calling COVID-19 a "huge nerf to the human playerbase". It's been a source of misery on many levels, but a statement like that adds perspective to it all.
Not to mention the restrictions in travel and basicly everything else dropped most "extra deaths" to such low numbers that 2020 saw the lowest death percentage of any year in history. Well, assuming the lock downs stop and we dont get hundreds of millions of suicides.
Tierzoo is so OP that I love watching and listening even when he’s just thanking his sponsors. They’re placed at the end and can easily be ignored (not like with other channels that have to sneak them into the intro and/or the middle), but are still so wonderfully creative that I stay for all of it. I just literally look forward to every second of every video, even spending up to 50% longer than the run time, rewinding often to consume every aspect (the game sounds, kill confirms, etc). I’d probably watch that same video entirely right away, or very soon afterwards. Thank you so much and I can’t wait to have my new player watch it as soon as she reaches the right level! ❤
Has tierzoo ever done a micro tier list? Like ranking microorganisms as their own set, I think that would be a cool idea, and potentially could shine a light on some of the abilities of microorganisms less known by us in the macro world

Bit late to respond but yeah, the 2020 Q2 "Pandemic Free DLC" wasn't my favorite, arguably the worst meta the game has had in my lifetime. They let its endgame stay active on the server for wayyyyy too long, it would have been alright if it was over by late summer.
The dude called 2020 a series of nerfs at the end, but isn't it more of a World Event? I mean it's not a one-and-done kind of thing, more of a Questline for the Healer factions.

Not necessarily, immunity can vary over as the new strain is similar. A new strain won't (probably) be as big a problem as the first
Also, only the strongest builds make it out alive granted most of them get nerfed but they still make it out

omg that’s really cute hope your new player will become a very recognized one in the future
Tell her that snake builds aren't so bad, they're pretty cool

THIS IS AN ACTUAL GAME?????
7:36 - lol, I love that the 2020 lifespan is the longest.
Just an interesting fact: In New Zealand, there are only 2 species of native land mammals which both are bats. They are also the only two bat species on the whole planet who can actually run on land because they barely had any natural enemies (I believe only the New Zealand falcon is it's natural enemy before humans started introducing a lot of possums/weasels, cats, dogs etc).
Imagine once we die a character select menu pops up
Dude no joke im not kidding but during my first moments of conciosuness i had a charcter selction screen where i could pick my parents and what i look like. After I was done selecting the scrren zoomed in behind my new bodys head and i was conscious. Legit my first memory is a vidro game screen of character selection. My family thinks its just a daydream but it was my very first memory. I was 5 and sitting in a classroom as an indian in florida after that moment. It was so weird yet so surreal.
My first time playing I chose the rat since I thought that it was funny. I didn't get a chance to move! My mom ate me! Now I play the human and talk in chat with people.

I've also thought about that. That would be cool xD
Okay so:
Bats are mammals

I’m waiting for the day that the flying fox mains gather enough points to spec into more size and begin turning on the raptor mains that keep destroying them. Some day we’ll have flying wolf mains
Notice how this was the first playerbase to actually nerf the op humans
I kinda wish there was a “Animal Kingdom” mmo now, that runs just like this. Choose a server, a time period and start the round. The players evolve their species over the course of months and the round ends, the best records are displayed and you try again to optimize yourself. It’d be interesting to not only watch people try to imitate existing animals but potentially make new ones
It's not an mmo, but try spore. It is not nearly as varied in playstyles as this hypothetical Outside game, but it has a similar idea of evolving from a bacteria into an intelligent species.
@@waluigi3515 Yeah spore was sold as that, but didn't play out near 1/10 of what they promised. It does have some fun parts. People did get creative with what limits they had and made the best of it with impressive artworks. Could petition "no man's sky" to make something like that so they can populate their worlds with freaky stuff we make??
The closest we get are ManEater
And this Wii game about being insects
Both have excellent real life imitated movement but are basically action rpgs and are limited
A game like you're talking about would be massive
Like SAO massive
That'd be awesome! Would it be free or not though?
That would be expensive
Bats to peregrine falcon: "That's not flying! That's falling with style!"
I really needed this. Haven't been the biggest fan of bats lately, and I really needed something to remind myself how cool they are.
I just did a college entomology paper on Grote's bertholdia, the moth that has spec'd into sonar to jam the brown bats. Using your videos as a base, I related how the moth could be developed into a Pokemon so people can learn more about them.
Me: *sees thumbnail* "Enemy spotted"
Video: "Enemy spotted"
Glad we're on the same page
So I know you probably won't see this, but as a teen that has previously hated zoology/biology these videos have really helped to open my mind towards these two subjects. You do an excellent job appealing to the younger generation by presenting this subject matter as if it were a video game. I am super interested in animals and living organisms now and god damn you managed to make TREES interesting. You took quite possibly (in my opinion) one of the most boring topics and managed to make me watch a 10 minute video on it. I am now seriously considering getting a degree in zoology (I think I would want to specialize in mammals, but reptiles and amphibians are also cool) because of how much passion I have for this stuff. You are awesome dude, and I am 100% positive you are inspiring a good amount of people to become zoologists when they grow up just like me. You are my favourite youtube channel, keep it up dude.
I completely agree! I already had an interest in zoology and biology, but this gave me motivation to do well in these subjects at school and in extra curricular activities, I'm glad to see that someone else has been affected by this amazing channel, and I hope you do well in these subjects, have a great weak and stay safe!
Thank you for your kind words! Best of luck pursuing your zoology degree, if that is what you end up majoring in :)
@@TierZoo tierzoo can you please do was megaladon op?
Whaddya know! He _did_ see it ^_^
You Go for it bro i hope your name will be in the news for zoology subjects. Breake a leg!
"The huge nerfs the human player base had to deal with" lol priceless!

Thats not the start... Its when you checkmate the opponent

Scientists: The miracle of evolution, the mystery of the Universe
TierZoo: Evolution points
Just like in Evo: The Search for Eden
Miracle doesnt sound very scientific tho, is not even a mystery
Scientists aint got nothing on gamers farming for EXP in the local spawnpoint.
On a completely unrelated note, does anyone know how to get unbanned from hospitals? The devs aren't replying to my emails.

I wish this channel uploaded more. I love this animal content and how they have video game themes and undertones.
Yeah, I'd pay if they did like monthly uploads.
i like using that bat build either way , it has the flying ability and i find that better than the ground mobility , especially the disease carrying ability gives you the poison effect which is great when you put the right xp points in the right skills
A beetle Tierlist would be awesome, there are so many with a lot of strategies
That'd probably take longer to complete than False Swipe Gaming's ferrothorn review.
John Lennon is a pretty powerful Beatle heard he's super affective against "wife" types
There are so many beetle species, with thousands of different playstyles, you'd need to split it up between scarab beetles, ladybugs, assassin beetles, stink bugs etc.
@@jaschabull2365 we are only a few pokemon away from the ferrothorn review lol. I'm betting right now its gonna take 2 40 mins videos
I approve of this
“Are bats op?”
Everyone: **gestures broadly on everything**
I think a lot of humans are demonstrating just how aggressively they can respond to fight things like viruses. Others are petulant children and willing to sacrifice others (and maybe themselves and their families) in enormous numbers because they can't handle not being personally pampered by others, and want to make sure they have no option but to do so.

Bats caused the virus but not the wide spread of the virus, that’s human stupidity at its finest

That music is from the greatest game ever, runescape.

As a bat player, I would like to say that I regret my decision, I am blind and living in a cave,
You see this is why you choose the fruit bat build
You’re lucky, I chose the spider build and died to a bat. Had to reset my game file to become a human instead
@@tootoasted4589 Almost got taken out by a bat again I see. Unleashed a plague while looking for a cure, now looking for a cure to stop the first cure. lol
I know this is a joke but bat's eyesight (even microbats) are really good and some can argue that it's as good as humans. So, to them we are the blind ones since they can see as good as we do but can hear better and navigate better at dark because of their echolocation. I'm surprised that tier zoo didn't brought up this common misconception.
@@formerunsecretarygeneralba9536 dude thanks for the info, I really like bats and birds and think they are super interesting
I personally like playing Ants just for the unique RTS gameplay they provide.
Fun Fact! Ants are actually Independent players.
nerf the spawn rate, you keep killing my cooler insect build
@@jacksonl.2201 Taken out of TierZoo context, they're literally a hive mind. How could they possibly be individual players?
@@pierreaoun9600 well this brings up the question of free will, even in ants. Are they individual souls that are all controlled by a single will like a hive mind, or are they are they actually a highly organized insect civilization that has achieved levels of community and communication that we’ll never comprehend?
I like the team based combat of the ant builds
Yoo man loving the vids. I especially love the way you excecuted the concept and how much attention to detail you include in your vids (though at times I would also appreciate being able to spot all of your comedic genius without having to pause the vid xD)
Was wondering if you'd be at all interested in creating a vid that focuses on the desert biome and the classes that are available there, how/where they get their exp sources and how they are specialized to deal with the harsh and dry environment (like how they can stand getting sand everywhere).
Special bonus points if you take the time to distinguish between the desert biome on the American server and the African server. Also (and I suspect you will probably enjoy researching this last part the most) the potental expansion of these (African) classes to the European server through desertification in South-East Spain and how they would (be forced to?) adapt to the other classes they'll have to deal with on that server.
Hell, if it interests you personally, I can see you make a whole mini-series out of this subject. But even just one vid would be very, very much appreciated.
And if you don't, no biggy, not like I'm gonna stop watching these brilliants vids lol
That opening bar scene is now my head canon on bat hunting
To be fair, Curiositystream and Tierzoo is a matchup made in heaven.
It's a powerful team composition, glad TierZoo was able to make this observation for the meta
