@@RogerTheil Kinda pointless when there are some spider mains that have invested extra points evolving their exoskeleton trait. Stomp all you want, the darn thing takes minimal damage. And you forget that certain debuffs nullify other skils, traits and stats. Arachnophobia specifically nullifies everything related to bravery, and depending on the intensity of the debuff, it can also lower mobility to 0.
@@denmark5354 oh yeah I hate those players. Talk about an annoying playstyle to fight against. The stomp and twist combo is the only thing I've found that works against them. True, some players get hit hard by those randomized debuffs. Idk how the devs think it's fair, but I guess it's one of those sneaky nerfs they give some humans just because they know it's WAY too time consuming to quit and reroll over something like that.
You can gain resistance to that debuff through research. Very few spiders can bite you let alone kill you and most bites attributed to spiders are the fault of other household pests.
I had a partnership with a tarantula player. She was a bit dumb at times, but I always ensured to get her XP with my grind. We shared server for 9 years, but unfortunately she disconnected from the game earlier this year. Miss you, Sammy
Tip for spider mains: spend 200 eveloution points on the move "summon 100" when you get damaged and you're on less than 5 health you can use it and it will summon 100 small spiders that can freak the human out so you could run (you can also use it to troll players when you kill you cause it automatically gets used when u die)
Jumping spiders were correctly placed in A tier. However, their intelligence rating should perhaps have been a little higher. Had a girlfriend who had some as pets and I swear those little things recognized her. I'm not afraid of spiders, but don't really want them crawling on me either, but these jumping spiders actually seemed to show a limited kind of dog-like affection for her. They often rode around on her during the day when she was at work and just out and about. They were actually pretty cool little creatures.
You are definitely right. I can't remember what documentary I was watching but in it the researchers believed the jumping spiders to be the smartest in the whole insect kingdom. They use their eyes to communicate with each other I guess.
There's a really good book, Children of Time, about how Jumping Spiders were left to evolve on another planet and became an extremely intelligent species based on what they already had going on with them.
Oh yeah, a lot of the jumping spiders are very smart but one in particular is big brain genius the Portia Jumping Spider. They are often nicknamed spider hunters
jumping spiders are actually really smart players. Their intelligence seeks the highest out of all the other builds in the game. They’re strategists who optimise the most out of the least amount of effort. They can take out opponents 2 or 3 times the size they are. I mean honestly almost all spiders are smart players, they know how to use their environment well even though they’re blind most of the day.
There’s a hidden spider class: The Halloween Decoration. It disguises itself as an actual spider despite being made of cheap fabric. Not to mention, any human players who’ve completed the “Adult” achievement will not receive any fear debuffs from its presence.
Mother friker, well atleast i was hiding and camping without them noticing me :) *i was the water spidah and catching peaple that where closer to the lakes!! get noob peaple who where playing as tiny ground types near me.* (well it was my first time playing so i might be an absolute idiot :))
I’m a megaflora mane. A huge tree to be exact. I’ve been alive for over 973 years, in March. Through a millennia of collecting Xp passively I have leveled up beyond the wildest imaginations of many other players. As I begin to share my stor..... *chain saw noises* Oh fuck.....
Not necessarily. animal builds have immune systems. Unless you help your host somehow, it will attack you. Plus you have a short lifespan to gain experience.
There is already a spider like that in a sense. It's a type of jumping spider in SE Asia. In multiple studies it has shown to have it's own form of communication that it only uses with members of it's species. It also has been observed to actually have higher intelligence than almost all mammals other than primates, dolphins, or whales. When hunting larger targets it will actually throw rocks as a form of distraction, use previously caught small insects as bait etc...
@@Johncornwell103 well that doesnt make it Eusocial. Eusocial would be as if a group of spiders gained a hive mind and effectively formed a governmental system, with specialized variants within their own species alone.
He's not a Spider in Disguise though. He's a human that adopted some spider-like qualities. Rather, what you're looking for is Spiders-Man. A single 's' in difference. But a major change in play. Spiders-Man takes "Co-op" play to a whole new level. It's a colony of tens of thousands of spiders working together to imitate Peter Parker. Complete with even occupying a suit and filling it to resemble a humanoid.
@@kamikeserpentail3778 What're you talking about? You made a new character without any source that you recognized as being similar. That's plenty original, not to mention in what way you took them since then.
for people asking about the goliath bird eater- they're just big tarantulas, and funnily enough nowhere near the most aggressive. Bird eaters, like other tarantulas from the americas, are a lot less aggressive than ones from asia or africa, and make good pets (provided you have a basic idea of what you're doing).
Another thing to consider is that both the tarantula and the jumping spider have the lesser known ironically cute perk which was shadow dropped in the 21st century update of the game where some players of the human build provide support to them in a similar way cats and dog players are supported
Jumping spider has a higher INT stat than pictured. It's important to have high intelligence in order to successfully calculate the kind of risks they tend to take. I would argue that they're a low S.
I would have to agree. Jumping spiders also have some of the most intelligent hunting strategies in the spider guild. They actively change their hunting patterns and maneuvers to optimize EXP gain. Data miners are still just figuring out the depth of their hunting capabilities. :D
Sammantha Mitcham absolutely, its important to remember that a small brain doesnt necessarily mean less potential max intelligence, and when it comes to jumping spiders, there are even builds that put so many points into intelligence that they can navigate hazardous environments by memorizing the map layout, hunt players out of their direct line of sight, mimic other builds’ behavior to infiltrate enemy bases, and even process remarkably high levels of visual data for their size, letting them recognize much larger entities as player models instead of just part of the map!
Clay Soggyfries the most common use of the word “intellect” is to describe the ability of something to adapt and deduce information from its environment. the improvisation and planning skills shown by the portia genus are by any definition a sign of intellect. they act differently based on what resources they have available, they exhibit a sense of object permanence, and they are able to alter their plans partway through if need be. thats not muscle memory or pure instinct. thats the ability to learn. aka, intellect.
6:29 okay at least give them higher intelligence, they can literally map out a plan to get to their opponent. if that isnt at least 70 intelligence idk wtf is lol
Yes but he went over the fact that jumping spiders have excellent vision, mapping and planing, especially for a tiny 2 cm being In the rest of the clip he showed of it attacking the other spider, you see the jumping spider spot the web from afar, then scanning its surroundings and coming up with an attack plan (and of course it comes up with some splinter cell style stuff)
My friend and I were joking around with the idea way before the channel was even made. We called it Life 0.52. Called the presidents Admins and all other crap. :/
I was dissapointed he gave them such a low intelligence considering Portia Fimbriata the most intelligent spider, which is a jumping spider. Although I don't necessarily want them to be S class. I wished he would have gave their intelligence better stats.
I definetly zoomed the browser window out to less than 50% while watching this video. I despise spiders but your videos are so educational that I knew I was going to learn something new even if it was about something I wish didn't exist, and I did. I did not know that there are Spiders that use their webs like air pockets and that's actually kinda of cool.
Yeah but Australian server is pretty filled with meme players. Like from what i know, about 90% of the overall player population there has some kind of wacky meme build like Kangaroos and Emus. Even the Humans have pretty meme builds there.
@@MrHarumakiSensei Hahaha yeah, i saw that pinned thread in the E.M.U Boards, saying how the Guild Leaders of the Human Faction decided to declare a Guild War against the Emu Mains for invading territory. Suffice to say, funniest thread i have ever seen in that Board, all the Emu mains were just spamming "Kekekekekekekekekekekeke" for about 120 posts.
I think this tier list deserves a remake since it's 5 years old. I just watched the insect tier list which was amazing. I think, perhaps, even instead of a new spider tier list, maybe make an arachnid one? It's not that this video is bad, I just think that there's many interesting spiders lacking from the list, not to mention the many kinds of arachnids most people don't even know about.
I heard the first spider main was a human player named Arachne who was well known for the decorative items she crafted. She claimed she was better at crafting these items than the mods, so Athena, one of the mods at the time, challenged her. Arachne won with a tapestry that mocked the mods, so Athena set her race to spider in anger. She even gave the spider its signature crafting ability just to rub it in Arachne's face.
I can't believe she only god a 3 day ban with no further punishment for that. God needs to choose his staff better. Changing a player race manually is illegal in the Buddhist faction, and normally leads to perm banning or permanently changing a player's race to an F-Tier lightweight class such as a Canadian Soldiers. They're an insect class that live for 2 days and then die immediately, which automatically sets someone back to a best a Mouse/Rat class.
Middle-Aged Robloxer is funny as that was I'm gonna have to get all patriotic for that Canadian soldier thing. Have you ever looked up why the Whitehouse is white? It used to be called the presidents mansion. It was painted white to cover up the burn damage that remained after they repaired the structural burn damage. Who burned it down? Soldiers from the then named dominion of Canada. Have you ever heard the story of the tin pot navy? At the start of one of the world wars (can't be assed to remember which right now ) Canada had 6-ish ships. *FUCKING 6*. We finished the war with roughly two-HUNDRED captured enemy ships and enough constructed ships to make us the third largest naval power at the time. Canada's standing military may not be impressive, but when we need to go to war it gets impressive. REAL. FUCKING. FAST.
No, Athena was jealous of the fact that Arachne actually was better than her (rather than claiming to be), it was a nearly identical case with Medusa (Whom managed to make a better looking avatar than that one Mod.)
Other spiders: nooo you're a spider, you're suposed to camp Jumping spider: haha, spider go ｊｕｍｐ Wolf spider after seeing this meme: Am I a joke to you?
@@dhruvaingale8718 , to be fair. If you have an entire class KNOWN for camping and then you go right ahead and make and anticamping build on that same class you Know you're gonna get some weird looks.
Btw, Jumping Spiders should have HIGH intel levels. They are extremely smart and that’s part of the reason why they’re so accurate, because they need to carefully calculate their jumps.
There's also evidence of them running around the edges of other spider victims webs and tucking on the strings in order to make the spider react so that it positions itself more favourably to the jumping spiders optimal attack position. Quite smart
Spiders are like clowns. Before the media made it 'normal' to be scared shitless of them, I'm sure people could actually have a conversation or two about them without 30 people butting in and saying "BUT THEY'RE SCARY." Can you just, like, avoid spider videos and leave them for people who are actually interested if you're so terrified of them, instead of clogging up the comments with "MUH SCARY SPIDERS" comments? Please?
I didn’t know spider players formed teams! The guide I read said those giant webs were the result of spider players temporarily basing in trees during rainstorm events.
If evolution has something to say, they may become the first s teir spider. All it takes is the eusocial trait to mutate. Pretty much once, and even ants will be given a money run. The one problem is humans, we will likely Torch their webs.
I love this video so much, even if the focus on spiders as creepy (when are they really all that much creepier than a lot of other things?) Made my heart hurt a bit!
Had a Brazilian Wandering spider in my house before. We tried spooking, it didn't budge. We tried attacking it with a pole, it bit the pole. We tried fire. It didn't die. We had to stomp it with a pole 3 times and apply fire before killing it. It was too big to be left alone. Br wandering spiders are so aggressive you should approach them with caution. The mofos have no fear. Just hatred to everything in their path.
Fun fact: There's a player by the name of Number16 that has the longest standing victory lap record for any spider faction of 43 years. It was a trapdoor spider build. Unfortunately, their longstanding run was cut short when a crow player discovered their location and dug them up.
You mentioned the tarantula Hawk and it got me thinking; What about a video focusing on counter-builds? You know, those builds that are made as specific counters to others. Or would that be too close to the troll builds (there's a lot of overlap there, I know)
DeanHarper mongoose is an A tier counter build, best matchup against snake players and decent against other animals. parasitic wasps are the other end of the spectrum
DeanHarper I was just thinking that after watching a video on the tongue worm which is a worm that eats and then becomes fish players tongues which seems like a troll if I ever heard one
Maybe even mentioning those certain pairs of creatures, where the prey evolves poison skin, which causes a predator to evolve specific poison resistances for it. I remember this being the reason for one of the most poisonous animals in existence.. but I forget where or what
Was hoping to see the goliath bird eater get a ranking but still a great video nonetheless! It's interesting to see that you've somewhat scaled back on the stat display sometime between then and now.
me: Man why did Mike do this again? this could end up in the two DYING! what was Mike thinking about?! Mike: (i don't want peaple to fear me, it's time to go)
Oh ya there’s only a few species out there, but there’s social tarantulas that can get around 5 or 6 inches in size and will live with around over 20 in one web. Fun pets
There's a lot of tarantulas too that love jumping. One of my psalmopoeus irminia is called Jolly Jumper for a reason. I stopped counting how often she jumped on me when I opened the enclosure :D Lot bigger and heavier than any salticus or phidippus 2 cm jumping spider and not even half as smart...
Unique among arachnids, jumping spiders also have the "Adorable" buff, which can sometimes prevent it from drawing aggro against humans. It certainly works against me, I love those little buggers.
most spiders have that buff imo which is actually huge humans being the absolute apex predator being the best in all forms of mobility with the best speed power and intelligence in the game having the ability to prevent aggro from them is fucking huge
@@the_epic_uploader i know that this comment is kinda old, but that really depends on the player more than anything, specialy considering some humans get the "fearless" random trait that makes intimidation attempts much less effective while others get the "arachnophobia" random trait that makes the human more scared of even the most harmless and cute spider than something like a crocodile, meaning some humans would gladly have a spider battle summon while others would not hesitate to use the napalm tech against spiders.
i only really get scared of spiders when they've got their front legs up because instinctually that means "hey big fella you better fuckoff right now y'see" but netcasting spiders are unnerving to look at
Nursery Web Spiders are also pretty cute, they're part of the wolf spider subclass, and despite being quite large they prefer curling into a ball and squeaking to attempt to scare away predators and only bite as a last resort. One of my sisters suffers from the arachnophobia debuff, and even she found this cute.
It's partly the eyes, and partly the way they don't really look spidery - they don't have spidery spider legs. Spiders move their field of vision by adjusting the position of their retinas. When their eyes go black, that means it's looking at you. The family name is Salticidae, and there are several genera. The "peacock spiders" are salticids, and well worth a google. www.google.com.au/search?q=peacock+spider&tbm=vid .
I’d say the intelligence stat of Jummping Spiders should have been mentioned. They need to form complex plans of attack to kill other spiders that use webs. First, they have to observe their surroundings and calculate the best form of approach to kill the enemy web-base-using spiders, then take the risky jump. Second, if now route is available, they try to putt them selves on a branch above the web, then use their silk as an anchor point to lower themselves down for a sneak attack.
Hey man, i'm a spider expert. And Black widows normally live in dark places. If your socks weren't in a dark place, then they'll be fine. Trust me, I live in Arizona where there are tons of black widows. And they are more common in the southwestern states. However one kind is found in the some of the northern states, the Northern Widow, and one kind in florida, the red widow.
Dodos spawned on a PvE herbivore island and force-quit when other players (i.e. humans, carnivores) farmed them for easy XP. They didn't fight back b/c they thought the entire server was PvE (were docile).
This is what happens when you make a build with maxed out health and nothing else. It might be a tank on underpopulated servers, but it can't get out of harm's way or tank hits or fight back or get creative or even hide when someone manages to bring in heavier weaponry.
Ngl, when I started watching this video, spiders are REALLY interesting, and i thought they where just wimps without purpose, but now, i just find them Neat!
