    I think it is of note that in the past the giraffe faction had a lot more players experimenting with different builds, including moose-like builds and the camelid faction did venture even more into height based builds. But alas, the days of the Neogene and Pleistocene expansions are gone and many factions are stuck with only a few of the different builds they once explored.

  • @cactusguy4363
    @cactusguy4363 Před 11 měsíci +31

    I never would've thought that the giraffe was such a social or even political build. The fact they work in groups is one thing, but other players have to reapect them as well. Their ability to alert others of incoming threats is vital in a server like Africa. And even then, they pose little to no threat to any allies of other species since they grab higher resources. Interesting build!

  • @snapclub8751
    @snapclub8751 Před rokem +520

    I think people really don't think about how weird giraffes are. They're incredibly tall, have long tongues, seemingly useless short horns, and covered with conspicuous spots. What's more, for the most part, they are comfortable being around and/or tolerating a human being's presence, as if they are self-aware of the fact that they are more than capable enough to kill you.

    Giraffes might have the ultimate advantage in most cases when it comes to fighting, but they are extremely disadvantaged when it comes to living in general. They are too tall to drink water from most places, and they are too tall to sleep normally. So yes, there are reasons why other herbivores are not this damn tall.

It would give me the greater morale buff if you were to make a video about how to max out the human build with respect to the societal structure and especially focus on how they could use their intelligence to level up at an accelerated rate.

    As for my two cents on why more builds don't follow the Giraffe style, I'd say that it probably takes a ton of skill points to reach the point where height shows its full advantages, and other players are unable to put enough points into growing tall enough to copy the Giraffe without neglecting other critical upgrades that would end their game early.

      Some animals have lumbar vertebrae as thoracic vertebra and sacral vertebrae as lumbar vertebrae, so they have a few more or less of those, but cervical vertebrae are always 7 no matter how long or short the neck is. There are also holes between the vertebrae, where nerves get out from the spinal chord. These are called intervertebral foramen and every IVF-nerve innervates a specific skin areal (somatosensitive), called dermatopes and innervates a specific muscle (somatomotoric) there is also the parasympathetic (viscerosensoric and -motoric; only in the cranial brain: brain nerves (III, VII, IX and X) and the sacral IVF-nerves. The sympathetic nerves only comes from the thoracic and lumbar IVFs.

      I'd guess it's because trunks serve the same purpose, but are much easier for mammals to support.
      We don't have the more efficient birdlike breathing system that dinosaurs did, which allows them to have massive necks without running into that whole snorkel problem. Basically they chain all their air sacs together so they effectively have all of it as lung volume to push the old air out their neck.

      @@cem_kaya Its definitely viable and by far the greatest of the tank builds in terms of pure defensive stats, but near AFK playstyles arent for me personally. And unlike most whale species theyre rather solitary and dont travel in pods of multiple whales, so its a pretty lonely life once you reach maturity just sucking up krill as you float at a relaxed pace between the arctic and equator, no real pvp either other than the human ship and fishing net dodging minigames. But all that being said, its certainly one of the easiest builds to accrue one of the highest experience point totals in history by the end of your playthrough once you do reach adulthood.

    Giraffe build OP plz nerf.
    Also, OMG the outro sounded super familiar to me, and when I searched it, I realized I watched Eyewitness A LOT as a kid, both in school with my classmates and at home, but I could not remember what it was called, so really thank you for putting that in there and the name of the theme as well, I loved that show when I was a kid!
    I also love these interpretations of real life being an MMORPG, it's great! XD

    I’ve been watching teir zoo for a few years now and I’m so happy that it seems like every 2-4 videos his production quality and the video game infusion just gets better and better, glad he’s finding more and more ways to make his content entertaining and educational

    I can't believe you didn't mention they have the Ruminant perk. That's probably what let them beat out the other treetop browser mammals. It might not be flashy, but any perk that improves the EXP you get from grazing, or eating in general, is a great one.
