Surviving the Arctic Meta

- The polar servers are home to some of the most difficult and unforgiving gameplay you'll ever face, but not because of the competition there. Here's how to not get rekt.

Every pledge gets me one step closer to doing this full time! - เกม
If you read my message but are already subbed, how about following me on Twitter? @TheTierZoo
Or better yet, sub me on $patreon$
TierZoo clever...
TierZoo what about the peinguin
TierZoo I just realized that the intro is the game boy startup🤣🤣 hey, I also have to ask you a question. Are you serious on your videos or are you meming around?? No matter what I just watch your vids cuz of how you incorporate animals into gaming, keep it up
TierZoo tell meee if their is game or not and if their is than please tell what game
What about the birds, like the arctic skewer?
If you're about to comment "what about penguins?" on my video about the arctic, please unsubscribe.
XD
What about Penguins?
TierZoo what is the lowest tier build?
So you're telling me the arctic meta is ripe for the taking for us penguin players?
wow
When I try to play Arctic, the game tends to freeze alot . _ .
What you did there. I see it. XD
no thanks
Comedian
Oh.
My.
God.
I get it and I like it. =D
I’ve looked into some of the future update leaks...
And it looks like they might shutdown the Arctic server.
A lot of players speculate on wolrd events like ,,Nuclear Bombing" or ,,Vulcanic Eruption" which will cool the earth down with massive smoek clouds which block the Sun.
Of course it is risky to speculate your build on upcoming patches I think you shoudl nto write the arctic server off.
Actually recent satellite images show the devs are growing the arctic servers.
@@drdoomsday6796 Only one small part of the Antarctic server. The rest are shrinking at an incredible rate, completely overshadowing the one small ice shelf that is growing.
I doubt its happening, The only thing i found in the WIP code is some new stuff for the "Final frontier" update, once my human is high enough level and enough points in "IQ (HM)" ill join the clan which is helping on the update
I heard they might open the moon server again this time to the public
As a Grizzly main, I can't imagine not having access to the hibernation skill.
As a cat who is a human main i use it regularly, its a must have ability
As a human main that sometimes plays other things I wish humans had that skill
As a monarch if I don’t hibernate I would just freeze
Super important
As no main at all, I just choose what I feel like. Imagine the server like normal, but everything is white and cold, and the day event lasts shorter, while the night event lasts longer. Also, the insect players either hide or switch character for the time being, and the tree players that don't have needles shed their leaves.
Human players made up some own special events for the time too, like the Christmas event, the Halloween event and the New Year's event.
@@tacoscatsandmangos512 They do, they just became so OP that none of them even value it anymore, and you may even get a nerf in charisma if you try it. That, and they don't really need it anymore compared to other players.
Died when he started talking about spawn rates of plants. hahaha
What's there to laugh at? Outside is a very serious and competitive game.
Are you a vegetarian or something?
You should keep your health up. Dying midway through the video can be annoying.
One of my favorite pastimes is watching bees spawncamp resource nodes.
This is like playing Plants vs Zombies at night, no free sunlight
The way he says “if you like tanks but don’t like starving” is so sassy and i love it

The real question is.
who does tierzoo main?
He's got to be a play tester with experience in a lot of classes
BJGvideos Doesn’t he main the Human?
@@changye9604 Yeah but he's got to have access to a lot of behind the scenes stuff most of us other players don't have. He also seems to have played some other types before.
He's mentioned that he is a fan of the cephalopods guild before.
He's an admin.
'I'll cover Virus players in the next video.'
DO IT NOW TIERZOO WE NEED IT NOW
Yeah, we need it now
2020 has been a joke
Viruses are NPCs.
Viruses would be bots that only do one purpose
I think it’s to late for him to save us now ;-;
I *hate* Walrus mains. They really need a defense nerf and the thick blubber ability is bs. They get rewarded for low level play and as Polar bear main, it’s wayyy too op.
4LeftTurns as a walrus i must say they are op but orca are just ridiculous they intelligence and jaws Will destroy you
Eh, look fam, Walrus aren't a big deal. You just need to know _when_ to strike. Get them when they are alone, away from their peers. They are a lot easier to get a paw over if you don't need to worry about interference from other players. Work smarter, not harder.
What Walruses need is a proper big carnivore that eats them.
Complain all you want buddy that Nerf ain't coming, we're the kings here.
A walrus alone will take a while to bring down. Its like playing Pokemon and picking a fight with a Metapod. Except walrus have tusks that can deal lots of damage.
"Why didn't I main Cloud?"
Jaahhnn Doh
Because you don't want to charge limit to win
Because of Cloud's recovery, getting on and staying on low friction platforms can be really tough. The down b neutral is appealing, but tanky builds are favored to reduce the effects of friction.
"You will be mist."
"I could just charge limit and win"
my man really used an "ice age" movie clip... legend.
Ice age meta
Aparently some moders are trying to recreate the mammoth build by going over the source code from legacy servers.
Omfg. That is the best possible way to describe it. 😆🤣
Personally, I don’t really like the modders. They always seem to be tinkering around with things that are best left untouched. What if they do manage to create a mammoth build and it wreaks havoc on the current meta?
@@insert_username_here I'm sure they'll test it in a closed beta first.
@@insert_username_here I hope it does the meta needs an update
@@insert_username_here One modder team said that they'll use the mammoth build to improve the environment conditions in the Russian servers, specifically the permafrost location.
"I am not a wolf main" LMAO
It makes sence.
are you scared?

Yeah! GET OUTPLAYED, TIERZOO!
Russia is a very hard winter time server. But i was once a sparrow, and on the roof of some human was a loot party. That was epic
Yeah remember that time it single handedly defeated an army of humans because of the cold?
Yeah
@@Niko..
I was talking about Hitler but Napoleon applies here too
Hey russia in the winter did end humans when they got the Nazi status effect that induced insanity
@Miś Wojtek Kapral
I knew they would've won even without winter. After all, I'm pretty sure the Battle of Stalingrad started after winter
It's 2 years later, and I'm still waiting for that Antarctica tier list to tell me that penguins are the apex predator on land.
we still haven't seen the virus tier list; at least I haven't. That is, assuming it exists though. Perhaps it's due to the devs recent debate on whether viruses are actually supposed to be playable.
"I want tier zoo to tell me that penguins are apex predators on land"
Giant petrel mains: prepare to be disappointed
still waiting
Me too, kid. Me too
waiting
It may be too out of the box, but how about a video on a past, now inaccessible server i.e. Cambrian or Ordovician. Would be cool to see what dominated the meta back then as compared to now.
TheSpecialK dude shhh, you're going to break ToS
you mean the beta? shit was boring, you can only move around a barren map and occasionally find low level trilobites which don't even wield that much xp.
private server doesnt counts, too
we only talks about official server here m8
Trilobites everywhere
The Cambrian beta was a pretty interesting time for the game. The foundations of all the guilds that define the meta today were based there. Since the skill tree wasn’t class divided like it is today you could mix and match some downright wacky shit. I remember playing a finned Arthropod build with stalk eyes and mouth tentacles that did slash damage. Had some of the most fun I’ve ever had cruising around griefing trilobites.
Seal: **exists**
Polar Bear: Its free real state.
It's free seal state
@@trumanauman9388 🤣🤣
If they went full aquatic I think they'd be more viable
Orcas: Allow us to introduce ourselves
As an Arctic Fox main, let me tell you about some tactics that make survival on the Arctic server possible even for a seemingly subpar build like ours.
Firstly we have extremely good cold resistance, mainly because we invested many evolution points into thick fur and generally rounder body shapes, like less pointy ears and shorter legs. This means it takes barely any stamina to stay alive.
Second is the fact that we're part of the omnivore class. Although PKing yields a much higher energy boost, as you said there aren't enough targets to do this efficiently during the winter (the summer is another story, though). However, eating plants or remains from other players usually works well enough. A well-known strategy is to follow Polar Bear players around and eat the remains of Seals they catch.
A strategy many players use is traveling into the slightly less northern servers, where there is still plenty of food, at the cost of a new enemy, the Red Fox, which has been venturing into the northern servers as their region-lock is being lifted because of the Climate Change event.
And finally, we boast the highest respawn rates out of any build in the mammal class. This is necessary though, as many players don't survive their first year.
(sorry if I made any of you cringe while reading this I'm still getting the hang of it)
Your wisdom is much appreciated. It's always nice to hear about other servers from experienced veterans.
I'm currently thinking of maining the Arctic Fox after I finally finish my playthrough of a king cobra, and so, I would love to hear more about the Arctic Meta.
(Don't worry, you nailed the game talk perfectly 😃)
I'm personally experimenting with a cracked build that combines human and arctic fox traits together, any tips for me?
@@silenceexe9439 Hmm, I don't know much about cracks. It probably depends on how much of which vanilla build's traits you have. If you have [bipedalism] and [speech] it could be viable to join the [human] guilds, but lots of [human] players look down upon hackers due to their high sociability leading to very exaggerated [enforced conformity]. I hear some regions and/or guilds are more accepting than others, but I generally stay far away from those places either way so I really don't have much of an idea, because human players tend to PK lower weight classes. That being said, I don't think the [Arctic] server is that good of an idea for you either, because [size] is actually pretty relevant to the defenses against environmental debuffs, and I do assume [size] is one of the traits that you took from the [human] build. However, at least [arctic fox] players won't enforce conformity like [human] players will.
Ah the abomination class. An interesting one
Rabbit main here
What are your respawn rates?
I can see the arctic fox becoming a support class very soon
I really dislike Arctic servers because gameplay is too passive for my taste
Gotta respect the grind bro.
you gay league player
It's a nice change of pace from the African and Amazon servers which just have shit flying everywhere.
If you play as a human one of the most aggressive servers is the Syrian one. There are a bunch of human clans fighting for land, and oil there. (Oil can sell for a bunch of in game currency) Be careful because the server is filled with trolls, hackers, and people who kill on sight.
+Dan It's especially heated with the ISIS clan being over thrown with US clan forces trying to take the land.
"my best advice; start a few years ago *ad-pocalypse*" this was the most clever thing ive heard in ages
The wolves probably go in smaller packs because regular sized ones would be too difficult to sustain as there are bound to be less prey animals available to feed them.
Well if they are more they could eat the bigger ones far easier. Though yeah with the tank stats the coldresistance provides its probably pretty bad anyways to be dps.
He forgot to include caribou/reindeer as a prey species...
The polar bear used to have high stealth since they blend in with the snowy white background of the arctic servers, but recently due to human players altering the temperatures, a lot of it melted, and the once OP camouflage is now making them more vulnerable to attack from other players. I don't know, but I think it is about time the mods nerf the humans.
Covid patch 3.0
I’d prefer a ban
It's a nice change don't you think...
No more OP camo, but more players and pvp targets due to coming onto the shores from ice (with the downside of human mains sometimes trolling them). Also, don't forget that polar bears are marine mammals (they swim well).
Don't complain that you too powerful, or else the devs will hear you, and actually nerf you, AND YOU'LL REGRET IT.
Essentially, don't jinx it.
@@emilv.3693 hey, not all of us play as human mains, ya know. I, for one, am frustrated these humans are ruining the game and strongly advocate a nerf.
I was suggested 1 video from your channel, then ended up bingewatching every vid you have uploaded. Subbed and can't wait for more in the future
Same.
It’s really growing on me :D I love game references~
RANDOMEVERYTHINGish EXACT SAME FOR ME! The first video i found of him was the turtle tier build and i just saw it today. Now i've watched about hald his vids
Johnny C
Lol same thing happened to me with the exact same video
TH-cam is trolling us
Exactly this
I was so excited to see you uploaded, I absolutely love this channel
It does a great job with what it does, and I've learned so much more from this channel than I do an actual biology class. The jokes and references aren't cheesy or obnoxious, they're clever and well placed and it doesn't distract from or get in the way of the main topic of each video. Never stop doing what you're doing. You're one of my favorite channels
Captain Kirby amen on that
Agreed.
You realize biology class doesn't teach you anything like this?
He makes well made, entertaining videos with a nice blend of biology and video game culture, and I have a lot of respect for him as a creator because he seems to put in a lot of effort into the research and editing process. However, the core of his videos is entertainment, not education. A six minute video teaches you about as much as you will learn by reading a wikipedia article for six minutes, it's just information without a context and without a basis of knowledge, it's trivia. The foundation of knowledge and learning is what your school education teaches you. I would hesitate to call the information put out on this channel trivia, but I would also hesitate to call it a learning channel.
TierZoo, if you read this, keep making your videos just as you're doing them, they are very entertaining and you seem to really have a knack for combining the two main subjects of your videos. I won't tell you how you can change or what you "should" be doing because that's completely up to you. Keep making entertaining and interesting videos and good luck with your growing channel.
ThatOneGuy yeah I just couldn't think of a class that does this. Only thing that comes to mind that comes close is Marine Biology and that's where I got biology from. I guess just 'science' would've fit better
"The only thing that makes the Australian server hard is the animals there" ignores the fact that Australia is like 80 % desert...
It seems like there are parts of that server where no one bothers to play at all.
Does that mean most of the Astralia is not venomous?
Actually, a rumor is floating around that viruses are actually not playable classes, but more like stage hazards really. What do you think?
You're not wrong tbh, the Corona virus pandemic update dropped a while ago. I think it's the Devs trying to nerf the OP Human mains. And it works for a lot of the lower intelligence Human mains like antivaxxers.
Well there was that one time in the beta, good times...
@@sonspork LOL
i dont know, i heard some players in Wuhan spec'ed into the virus class to immense, if temporary success. Most traditional players are upset and claim its a gamey exploit.
There isn't much gameplay with viruses anyways, as they just float around inside other players and sometimes mutate
Could never get myself to play in an artic server. There is always one player in chat making ice puns.
You should totaly get into it . Comunity and setting are rather nICE.
Viktor Gorbulin please leave
Did you ever just ask him to chill out with the jokes? Maybe put them on ice for a while?
Oh, relax. At least everyone here keeps a cool head compared to everyone in the desert servers.
i know right, everyone seems to be heated up with arguments that they don't even realize how dry their jokes are
I don’t mind if you put ads on your video because your vids are the highest quality content I’ve seen
L Lawliet and he needs that money from the adds
TierZoo please put more ads
3:24 The pack hunting strategy is a difficult one to maintain in the Arctic Servers since XP is hard to come by and you have to split with your fellow team. Large teams are likely difficult to maintain as a result so numbers are probably kept short as a compromise. It's a lose/lose scenario overall since your kills won't often be large enough to sustain your teammates, so the more mystifying enigma is why they spec into the arctic in the first place
I just assumed that the wolf players were just fighting each other. Let me tell you why tho, you have the furries on one side, the emo people on the other, and then there’s the rest of us, the actual players, which were divided into several sub-factions. Thing is when the server started everything was already divided, a sub-faction of anti-furry players started stealing kills from the furries, the emos started to complain, loudly I might add, about the low prey, and the players were starting to fight because of some Catholic, decided to go on and do a Martin Luther to the Orthodox sub-faction on the chat. A polar bear player, Queensgate2321, attacked the emo faction on the request of the anti-emo sub-faction, and a bunch of other bullshit. The player sub-faction, us, decided to just slit into smaller groups so we can get kills and what not, since this shit was difficult as it is. It’s times like this that I miss playing in the Africa sever and the Pacific server. Those were fun times.
As someone from Alaska, I have two notes.
1) Reindeer are not wild animals; reindeers are the domestic form of caribou.
2) Caribou here in Alaska are exclusive to the Arctic Server. They rely on the lichen for stamina regeneration, and as such caribou players are rarely found outside the Arctic Server where there is much less lichen loot.
Personally, I would put caribou in high C tier. They have losing match-ups against wolves (and humans) and don't really have anything spectacular about them.
That's because of your side of the mountains. Caribou migrate across the tundra every year.
Svalbard reindeer subspiecies is quite arctic too, as far as I know
According to wiktionary.org, caribou is the name of "Any of several North American subspecies of the reindeer, Rangifer tarandus.", while reindeer is the name of "Any Arctic and subarctic-dwelling deer of the species Rangifer tarandus, with a number of subspecies". ( en.wiktionary.org/wiki/caribou and en.wiktionary.org/wiki/reindeer )
Just a suggestion. But what about the concrete jungle servers?
Nah. Hawks all the way.
I'm very interested in the rat meta, would watch.
Hot-Headed Gladiator It would definitely be fascinating. The concrete jungle servers may be dominated by the modders who made It, but it's a rich land of resources for rodent and bird type builds. The number of preditors is greatly reduced, and there's a lot of resource scavenging to be had
Pigeons OP
rats teir 0
pigeons teir 1
homeless human teir D
This would actually be a good game if it existed (talking seriously)
Jstar338 oh shit I realized. I think I clicked human not an animal on main menu. You right bro
Sombrero Cactus YT it’s called ark survival evolved
YaBoi Alex Ark is nothing like the game being described. The closest thing I can think of is Thrive, but that game is in super early stages and may be to ambitious to even finish.
Ameen 33322222 lol thrive that agario lookin game
Sombrero Cactus YT yeah I clicked pigeon as a joke and now I'm this
6:34
I appreciate the presence of Ice Age here.
The top player of the meta humans has decided to remove the Arctic using their special move
*GLOBAL WARMING*
Hey, wolf main here. We hunt in smaller packs because the harsher arctic climate makes it harder to sustain large packs, and in large packs some wolves don' get enough food or aren't respected enough and die quickly.
This. I've run out of food so many times with any pack larger than 3. It's just too many mouths to feed and not enough experience to share.
No respecc for Arctic wolf mains.
Yea, the vid inadvertently answered it's own question with the rabbit or musk ox note- a large pack has to take on musk oxen way more often, which is risky and dangerous play, and will quickly run out of rabbits to grief as well.
I died when my pack and I were finishing off a musk ox. Then I got kicked in the ribs. We killed it, but I think a lung got punctured making the exp I got worthless.
Every smash reference you throw in a video is hilarious and deserves a round of applause.
Thouv
Gh it doesnt make sense in this one. You dont get killed in smash because of too high percentage its just more knock back you receive.
I would have found it cool if the one got knocked out of the water onto the land and not just dragged.
(6:06) I remember this matchup on _Animal Face Off_ . Walrus tanked every blow polar bear dished out. Its blubber absorbed most of the body hits and the thick skull negated any headshots.
Should’ve had different opponents! Polar bear vs Brown bear and Walrus vs Great white shark!
Thanks for the advice! I tried the polar bear, but it was extremely hard. I ended up dying after not being able to find enough loot to gain exp.
I love how many smash references your vids have
Hawkes Poulter The SoulsBorne/BloodSouls and Smash bros references are great
Hawkes Poulter and RuneScape
i dont know how, but theres a really high chance that this is the best idea for youtube videos ever thought
yeah. can't wait till he talks about the microscopic teir list like virus mains and bacteria mains. For some reason everybody hates them. humans mains are petitionning to ban bacteria mains from the servers
even though its true that human mains hate most of those types of players, there is a bunch of them that are the best supports in the game for humans, even better than dogs and cats.
Also I'm really looking forward to the antarctika tier list and tips to survive that server.
Yeah
3:00 I like how "Witch Time" is casually thrown in there
Lol
I’d love for this to actually be a game one day. Maybe soon, maybe in years, maybe after I die. I want this to be enjoyed by good people.
What about the Arctic Bumblebee? As practically the only successful support class for angiosperms in Arctic servers, they have a monopoly during the summer months, ranking in support points like it's going out of style. And their cold-adapted queens can sleep through the harshest winter phases.
there's global bee nerf around 2015, I dont think it's a viable long-term option tbh
The human mains have been trying to circumvent the nerf though. I think the Humans have become too dependent on the bee-human combo.
Clicked this video so fast cheetahs looked even more unviable.
The Green House Effect basically caused a unique effect that turns the entire Arctic server into a battle royale mode. And the zone is shrinking quick.
The game clips and screenshots you get for these videos are amazing. You do such a great job at giving a good visual for what you talk about.
Either do an insect or a marine mammals tier list pretty please. Your channel's the best.
me too
Same I think the best insect would be a beetle
I think that eusocial insects will be in the top spot, not only for their ability to grief almost anything but they are fucking everywhere. Ants are probably the top tier. But I do want to see where some insects rank(Like the dungbeetle, the strongest animal in the world, p4p).
You're right. Maybe just a " Eusocial Insects " tier list, then ?
I would love him to do one specifically on eusocial animals
The seal flopping away at the start is the best thing ever
you can just see the "ohshitohshitohshitohshitohshit" factor on his face
The fact that such a funny, goofy looking animal dies makes me sad.
Well, yeah... It invested way to much into CHAR.
Maybe that is why it dindn't have enough AGI to run away?
5:38 "This cumbersome, unwieldy weapon is not one used for defence."
South African bloke: "Please hold my very small can of beer..."
No, it was a tool, not a natural defense.
My friend told me when he first started he choose the bear class and choose polar bear, he said that in the arctic servers, only 1 to 2 people are playing at a time when he started. He said the server was a wasteland.
Humans are way to overpowered they litterally control ALL the servers right now and their intelligence is unmatched, the devs REALLy need to nerf their intelligence
- Angry Moose main that just got shot by a human main
Baby Man Im pretty sure Humans are somehow nerfing themselves, i see a bunch of them killing eachother and selves
qwerty uiop The main human builds main nerf is war. A event which occurs when the human guilds both want the same resources and often starts because of guilds different religion choices.
To be fair, elephant and gorilla players have been seen engaging in large PVP battles as well. It appears to be some form of counter-nerf to the extremely powerful intelligence stat.
Baby Man since the introduction of the Internet subserver I’d say that job’s being taken care of
Bandaged Boot That or extreme loyalty to ones guild even when the leadership goes awry. Oftentimes the human players do not realize that their guilds’ pinned messages and rumors corroborated by top players within their guild (leadership or otherwise) are there to send them to gain power for them regardless of any real justification.
What about Komodo Dragons?
Bætnet is this a Shad joke?
They are in Greenland.
Hahahahaha
Komodo Dragons take 300% more damage from cold and since they would be in a Polar Region, they would take x2 of that so 600% more damage. Cold damage crits Komodo Dragons so they would literally take 1200% more damage than a human class. Polar Cold deals 500 damage every 5 seconds to unprotected humans so to a Komodo Dragon they would take 6,500 damage every 5 seconds. Komodo Dragons only have 2000 HP dude.
this is a joke right?
Your gaming references are just perfect while not taking any of the video time for it. You're a really good content creator!
@5:50 - "...the walrus."
Didn't I just tell you to stop making up animals?!
🤣
Maybe the Ant meta next? There are too many species.
Ichirou Izanagi way too many levels of yomi.
Yesss, I'd love that. They might just be the most OP insect.
Coach McGurik It seems like you are mistaken. "Ichirou Izanagi" is the name of my character for the project that i am currently in.
We also need some help settling the age-old ant versus termite debate.
Ants, easily. You get more servers(basically all but the arctic ones), a lot more different builds, and more variety. With termites it´s always build a base and hope it will hold out, ants on the other hand have some really heavy stuff at their proposal including different varieties of farming and even slavery. Ants can pile up even on bigger vertebrate builds and just shut them down and eat them while termites are mostly limited to wood. With ants you get some of the best weaponry, stuff that can shut down even larger builds like humans by inducing extremely agonizing pain. I mean, termites my have some impressive fortesses but it´s not even a contest. Ants are the absolute masterrace when it comes to social insects.
Just something to add about Polar Bears. Polar Bears in the Arctic of Canada have actually adapted their eating strategy, they leave the Ice to come on land and eat Snow Geese Eggs. The population for Canadian Snow Geese is ridiculously high from the extra food they get migrating through the midwest (Which has lots of Grains to eat from Farming). Polar Bears get easy food during Geese Breeding season, most people have no Idea about this. Long Story short, Polar Bear Donation groups don't want the public to know that the population is increasing it certain spots and actually Data isn't given to show how endangered they are (More Money if they look endangered). I actually talked and worked with people in Canada from an organization, extremely nice people they just have an agenda. So don't attack them, just know that these apex predators have adapted, Nature is crazy.
Wow..is that a new patch? I didnt know that the server was updated..
Sounds like Inuit propaganda.
i heard this population increase is being counter acted by them interbreeding with their class precursor the grizzly bear producing grizly/pollar bear hybrids
@Hlary I've generally heard them called pizzly or grolar bears (depending on which parent was from each species).
The meta is evolving
Australia has drought and heat? That would count as the server impending your survival to me.
Still the variety is very high.
Near water drought isnt N issue and having the sun is a big positive with plants beeing there.
The sun is a big factor.
I am already subscribed! And it took me like 20 tries to pause it at the right time to read your message!
Jokes on you.... I"m already subbed :p
Can we get some microscopic builds
+1 for this suggestion
Raised Donger But as the human class discovers their hidden weaknesses, more and more microscopic builds are becoming obsolete.
Lightning Strike then again as humans develop more and more defence items specifically tailored to countering microscopit builds, and often straight up abuse them, it's quite possible we're on the verge of someone discovering an OP microscopic build that can outsmart the most contrived human defence mechanism.
In the black death special event the disease really did well, but now I'm not so sure...
he teased a virus player video, that would be v interesting
Server - Habitat
Player - Animal
Game Over - DEAD
Playthrough - Life
Loot - Food
And that's why I subscribed
Arctic experts also know as The Finn faction have a buff called *sisu* which gives 30% cold resistance, 20% moving speed in cold weather and 20% extra damage in the cold. Then we have Saunas that almost instantly get rid of coldness debuffs and we have skis which is the best way to move in the forest snows. So if you are choosing a human as a main and like the arctic, choose the Finn faction
Tier Zoo refers to a stat called "resolve", which resists intimidation. I question whether sisu *directly* buffs damage output; AFAIK it resists intimidation and thus *prevents* loss of resolve, and the debuffs which follow from loss of resolve. Same outcome, just more specific mechanics. There are stories of a single Finn sniper maintaining full resolve, and thus full accuracy, against large groups of Soviets, which is impressive considering the intimidation multiplier of the Soviet artillery.
How to play in the Arctic Server:
Step 1: Travel to the past about 1000 years
Step 2: Go for tank marine mammal
Step 3: Make sure way you can escape to land
Step 4: Be a Walrus Main.
The Black Dragon I mean, 1000 years ago is okay, but if you really want to artic main, you should go back far enough to play the wooly mammoth. 1000 years ago and you're only a little better off than you are now
i you would still have to go pretty far back since you got low level (but still crazy OP) humanoids running around at that time
Polar bears do have a special ability: they're immune to all intimidation, even from humans. They're the only living predator that sees us as prey.
Don't forget crocs
what about orcas
@@Soulcata No orca attacks on humans in the wild have ever been recorded, it's just the ones that go crazy in a tank doing the same show daily.
@@henry2307 Yeah i know i was talking about how they will kinda attack human boats
Only living predator that sees humans as prey, you say? But have you met.....Nile or salwater crocodile mains?
I discovered this channel 2 days ago and have been bingeing every video since. Thank you TH-cam recommendations
6:22 he ain’t walking that off
TierZoo continuing to put out high quality videos and doesn't waste a second of our time with ads, plugs, or bullshit. Thank Y O U
TurtleShroom thank you for mentioning that! I think good content creators deserve to make money for their work.
TurtleShroom he does have a patreon link in the description and mention said link in the comments.
He's mentioned that he has a job and he doesn't _need_ money from this, but obviously money helps with life.
Someone who loves a TH-cam channel/video will look in the description for ways to support it and to learn more.
Edit: Leaving a comment, like TierZoo does, is another great, non-intrusive way to deliver a message.
Marc Marc i wouldnt mind an ad if it wasn't in the middle of the video tbh. These videos def deserve to make at least some profit, even if they have a patreon having a sponsor wouldnt be a horrible thing especially if they found a way to make it fit the theme
i actually want there to be ads in his vids. So he can get the maximum amount of money he deserves
Why ya gotta always knock the Cheetah mains man?
Ephemis Priest Right on, man!
because glass cannon builds are always a bad idea unless you combine with very high sneak
Tbh cheetah wouldn't be bad if many other bigs cats out classed them by either being more powerful or more sneaky
Have you tried knocking Cheetah mains? Very rewarding experience.
The cheetahs in this game need a buff. Does not have to be a huge buff, but a buff in strength, dura, and stamina would be great. Enough that it can at least challenge Leopard and Hyena players.
4:38 I'm still waiting in badly for that virus video, I really hope after we are over with battling that main you will let us know its place in the meta.
This chanle is really fascinating. Amazing!!
Thank you so much for your work!!
Server maintenance in the artic is terrible the admins have really given it the *cold* shoulder.
By god... its quality content..
T A T S U M A K I
*Whispers*
It's free real estate
*slaps the roof of the channel
"This channel can fit so much knowledge!"
I wonder if TierZoo will make a video on the Hero and Villain clans of the metahuman build
We don't get much of that anymore
Ya know you’re the first channel that has actually inspired me to get a patreon. I’m broke at the moment but when I have a paycheck I’ll sub. I truly love your content.
at the start, that lv 25 seal player went "OH SHIT" when he saw that lv 80 polar bear
IMAGINE AN OPEN WORLD GAME LIKE THIS
Yep
Imagine that we live in a simulation
I heard of a game called IRL that sounded a lot like this
*cough2* minecraft *cough*
I hate it and wish my playthrough would end already
Just imagine a deadly virus hitting the world that is going to wipe us all from the face earth and how he is just going to praise the devs for finally doing a balancing patch.
Spoke too soon.
I what a prediction but were not all gonna die
Wow, this man is a prophet
3:02: "Resurrect (Mercy)...Witch Time (Bayonetta)" MY SIDES
These videos not only give me life, they are a constant reminder of how cool the server we're on truly is. I'm so glad I picked this game.
Can you please talk about how overrated and awful the mosquito class is and the fact that every wiki claims that they have the highest kill/death ratio even if that is by the viruses they carry?
Romke McScumbag III They only have the highest Kill count because of the various viruses they carry. Not to mention their K/D is TERRIBLE, sure they net a ton of kills but millions of them die all the time.
Also, their lightweight build and their specific wing size makes them easy to spot AND hear. Seriously, their stealth is one of the worst in the game IMO.
Beides even of we give them the Credits for their Kills because of their Virus/Algea Support class - they don"t XP because of the kill
Humans only have such a good digestive system because of bacteria we carry around.
carrying virus's is fair game for offense.
Romke McScumbag III they have been getting worse and worse. This is mostly because of the human class. But still strong. Annoying and overrated but are some what decent. Not amazing though
Dang i really want this to be a real game
You're playing it!
yeah bob and you got the best char
boi
you already have the most op character in the game since that patch which end dinosaurs
Humans have the highest intelligence
This is the perfect TH-cam video. Short, fun, and informative
0:21 That text caught me far enough off guard that I subbed. I didn't see that coming at all.
I love the new GBA intro!
Can't he get into legal trouble for that?
I don't know. I looked it up and it said the Gameboy logo consists of simple shapes and therefore can't be copyrighted, so maybe that applies to the sound bite as well.
When’s Earth: Ruby version coming out? :P
"WItch Time (Bayonetta)"
You sneak things like this in and I love you man, keep doing what you're doing!
Next time cover specific animals that are good to main for newcomers, like Tarantula Hawk Wasps and Bears
Blueberry101 Please do NOT fully show a tarantula in the thumbnail,there are many of us that gets completely maniacally freaked out when we see even a little picture of a tarantula
Don't you worry, he's talking about a wasp that gives an extremely bad pain debuff and loves to sting people, not the tarantula build. :3
In fact, the THW mostly help lower builds by taking care of the main threat
I'd say elephants are a better beginner build.
4:19 wolfs are also...bigger than a lot of people seem to think, they can get surprisingly big.
Pretty crazy that even in an environment where you wouldn’t think bears would be able to survive, they still persist because the bear kit is so strong.
i am loving this approach to looking at wildlife, can't believe i just* found you. can you do a a video about the urban and city meta? it would be interesting how other builds take advantage of the expanding human-made servers.
good point
City meta is dominated by rats, mice, squirrels, and support classes. Pigeons too, worldwide, with local birds round here like the white-wing dove and the great tailed grackle getting in on the urban scavenger action. In some urban areas of North America, parrot players from the South American server have hacked the servers to become urban parrots in North America. The devs have overlooked this because they see the hack as simply restoring the now-extinct Carolina Parakeet.
@@Bacopa68 you forgot the common rock dove
And spotted skunks
Congrats, they finally uploaded one today
I’d like to see a dedicated video on “Living Fossil” classes, ones that have survived drastic changes in the meta. I still remember my first character: a horseshoe crab. Hear players these days complaining about human players (of corse) chopping their characters up for fish bait and harvesting blood. Sure, the meta’s a bit spicier now, but a surprising amount of the humans’ biomed tree is based on HSC blood. Maybe we’ll see those numbers climb again?
TransmetSpider
That's a great idea!
Even after all this time your message in the beginning of the video still gets subscribers thank you gor all the great videos i enjoy them very much i also get to learn things without feeling completely stupid ( my tutorial lacked a lot of basic education with an extreme superstition debuff)
I’m a Arctic Wolf Main, the reason we hunt in duos or trios is because hunting for a big group can and sometimes is very inefficient to keep every member alive, especially when there is a lack of food.
How about Bowhead Whale? It doesn't have to deal with predators outside of the small numbers of humans in the area and the occasional gankers from other servers.
Beriorn
And even the orcas can only really kill the calves
to be honest, bowhead whales ocasionally get griefed by polar bears, and they have no real way to defend against them
Because they dont stay in the Arctic all year round, they wander/swim as far south as the Netherlands and belgium
Plus that Massive HP. 200 years and still kicking.
Bowhead Whale master race!
Why haven't i found your channel sooner, this is amazing thanks Dave
4yy 1M40 good ol dave
rly like the way u present nature shit with the gamer twist.gr8 job
My favorite thing about this channel are the constant passive references to smash
You should make a video explaining the history behind the Bubonic Plague, and how it dominated the meta before its devastating nerf. It was such a huge event, as it hit several major servers and almost dropped human from S Tier.
really it's the same issue any bacterium has, If you're too widespread but don't change it up enough eventually your grief targets wise up and get the specific Immunity trait for your particular method. Also once enough are gone it becomes much harder to spread from target to target rapidly reducing ur exp potential.
See this is why i call it griefing because plague bacterium can't survive in the human body long term due to either killing the host quickly or being suppressed. it's not a viable long term strategy.
You forgetting the Mt Toba eruption. That nearly put humans off the server.
ChaseSP1 Exactly. OP thought they got nerfed, when in reality their grief targets wisened up and they grieved too hard too fast and ran too low on targets before they could recoup their player base. I don’t care how much PKing a player enjoys it, when you can’t find your grief targets, you just have to quit.
Heath Skinner Nerf? Plague players crippled themselves with how viciously they griefed humans. Their infection rate wasn't sustainable with their ridiculous kill potential and they also posed enough of a threat foe humans to develop countermeasures. Should have taken a lesson from the various flu mains, going strong since time immemorial.
Another great video. I am trying to thing of a suggestion on how to improve, but I cannot. The only thing I can think of is that I wish it was longer since there is so much more to say, but that is how I feel about all of your videos.
yeah, and 10min vids get more adds, which could help with the revenue.
Walrein i choose you! Gets ganked by Warwick. Only in this game can you see these two characters in the same place.
