      @@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.

    @ChipCheerio Год назад +4

    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.

      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%

    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.

    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.

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.

    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.
