Voldex’ s strategy consists of buying a game, milking it completely dry, then repeating the whole process.

[@azuregod8345]

Today is the day where I stop playing zo. I used to be one of the few enjoyers of this game and I was really good at it. But as new updates kept rushing and coming by I slowly just stopped playing altogether. The community is toxic, they mostly trade, some even afk and just play afk sim. The new generations of zo are honestly just getting used to it now and I feel like I've lost my touch for this game. Thank you for making this video cbrah, expresses how I feel.

[@konamiishere6149]

Dude, you are so underrated, you deserved to be noticed by many. What you said was correct, ever since they gave the game to Voldex I've been seeing many turnups and turndowns on how this game provides. Ever since the "dual sword" gamepass was released, the game is turning into a pay-2-win game, from my point of view. I miss zo was before. Don't get me started on the anti-cheat system they had too. But all in all, I still like zo even in this state of kinda "situation" rn, I still play it, the only downside this game is becoming now is how this game slowly turning into a p2w game instead of focusing on the qualities of the game.

[@resetti2040]

My ticket took 3 days to answer and I got a single sentence from them and they closed it. I also know people whom have spent large sums of money on the wheelspin. It creates this gambling addiction for some and I'm REALLY starting to miss how Zo was before.

[@dinosaurmar]

pfft, dont think so

[@ReddyRaddish]

Now I know what happened.. No wonder I lag more. I kinda hate this change because the lag prevents me from fighting smoothly,The game used to be so smooth at first but when Voldex started getting more into it,The game started turning bad,even other players complain about this sometimes when your far the weapon would still hit you,Voldex ruined the potential of zo.

[@SageFPS]

Fr I’m lagging on zo now on 40 to 50 fps….I used to not lag now I do after folded just updated a stupid thing, go check it it’s bad.

[@n7z380]

Bro cbrah I am so glad you did this investigation for I am an OG zo player myself. I started my journey with zo in august 2021, and let me tell you IT WAS AMAZIN, the aesthetic samurai vibes and overall everything was so good. However, as time passed I began focusing on school rather than gaming. Then and there I will hop on ZO with some new but not amazing updates or changes. However once school ended and summer started I began playing zo as it was a game I cherished deeply.. I then found out about Voldex and how they are the new owners of zo. After discovering this I was truly heartbroken for I do indeed miss the old zo which not only was realistic, cool, and didn’t have any bugs but they most importantly didn’t focus their minds towards robux. Compared to voldex. Voldex added more gamepasses and plenty of more stuff that shifted into the cosmetic side of things which obviously cost robux. In addition they started to add some cartoony features recently which doesn’t fit the game at all! However, it makes sense to why og itto did this and I respect it. Yet, I really want voldex to stop with the cartoony features not rlly the cosmetic bc well the skins look very nice! I also just wish for a new map, like what if they did the voting if maps like in Combat warriors so it won’t get boring or bring back the soul feature in which ur souls can be used as currency. Though this is sad news it isn’t too bad. Well anyways amazing vid!

[@n7z380]

Also after finishing the video.. I am so glad that I am not the only one that thinks ZO has been off and straight awful not only for the money mind set they have but also their new stupid moderation, for the very first time I-encountered two hackers in ZO which was awful in addition I am glad the og owner- aka zeek also thinks this way! U have a new subscriber as well as a discord member.

[@Cbrrah]

This is the most well thought out comment I’ve ever received! Im glad you agree. Welcome to my community man, enjoy your time here

[@nanavroc9328]

@@n7z380 yeah too be honest Voldex did save the game with the weekly updates but man they're getting greedy. Old zo was good until this turned into a boring vibe game. The moderation is honestly useless and disgusting for they're behavior sometimes. Theres a file of it

[@booga6565]

rip zo, it was such a good game.

[@F33LNSH1T]

I've barely tried Zo when it was first released, not that used to their mechanics but it still a good samurai game. when I saw Voldex took over the game, I just assume it was going be bad already. I'd tried it few months later and all I see are idiots grass hopping, equipping unequipping their weapons to sprint and parry spam. this is what I'd not wanted to be associated with for a samurai game. I hope one day, Voldex can pull their head out their ass and realizing what they just did to a good samurai game.

[@crayon953]

I fear that if I play the game, I am gonna get jumped by the people you are describing

[@lori3776]

More ppl need to see this Video i RLLY hope they will put more love in the game and dont just do it for money

[@face3754]

Same thing happened to a game called "base battles" which voldex also bought it's a sad thing, I have discovered that voldex keeps buying games and making it a pay to win updates which bugs me alot since I am a bit of free to play hope this game the best and all hopefully they make good updates

[@-cold-1761]

It also happened to Encounters, a Smash-like game that was bought by them, and now the only new content the game receives is either paid or cosmetic.

[@Marshall1q.]

@@-cold-1761 so sad to see it go I remember playing it and seeing another chainsaw event on that kinda pains me

[@Tensewmmt]

It's not only zo, it's driving empire and base battles

[@hatedtscontentsin8-3-23]

DUNGEON QUEST also (Vcaffy is only solo dev)

[@MrHip]

I do agree. I think of it like. There just doing these little updates to satisfy the community for now, while they are working on somthing big. And the skins are just to cover it up. Also sorry I'm a bit late to this video I had to do some stuff so I couldn't see it immediately. I like the video. And have a good day

[@Cbrrah]

Yea, they've been working on a new game that they just released. But it's not a ZO update.

[@MrHip]

Yea. Rip

[@adri_smh]

Before I used to play zo due to its samurai aesthetic, I can still remember myself getting the og saber with my friends farming for it. And I remember the day when voldex came. Me and a couple of my friends were talking about this and I was thinking it was a good thing, maybe like a fresh new start. Later I realised these updates were rushed and I started to worry maybe that zo would turn into some gambling simulator. So I quit zo for a good couple months and started to play because of the nostalgic feeling. But then I saw the chat, and everyone was spamming "trading this trading that" blah blah blah. My heart stopped because I knew the old zo, I actually loved and cared for, had been officially gone, destroyed. I hope voldex actually listens to the community a lot more. And i hope in the near future that they will return the actual aesthetics of this game. If you actually read this, I'm amazed but yeah, this is my feelings, thanks for reading if you did!

[@Tensewmmt]

Not only zo, driving empire

[@tootypatrooty]

Voldex won’t bring the old ZO back. They’re corporate trash that only cares about money. We may as well fold. (Basically, they’re gamefam.)

[@adri_smh]

@TootyPatrooty they are listening more though. I think it can come

[@tootypatrooty]

@@adri_smh Dude they literally make you spend 1k robux for an unban.

[@adri_smh]

@@tootypatrooty I didn't talk about the bans. I'm talking about other features.

[@TheScarfedIdiot]

lol every weapon voldex added are ranked lowest. but the spin skins are hella high quality!

[@Cbrrah]

Simply in terms of value. It terms of the items quality, many of them are stolen and don’t fit the game’s theme.

[@TheScarfedIdiot]

@@Cbrrah I enjoy frostbite and molten core. but also bloodmoon especially

[@Cbrrah]

@@TheScarfedIdiot I can agree that those are more on topic with the game. But there's so many skins that just don't fit the game at all.

[@lfd10noob]

great video! I never really played ZO, but I'm playing a game known as Base Battles, and the exact same thing happened to this game (if you want, you're free to make a video on it ;) )

[@Cbrrah]

Voldex bought that game, too. No shocker. Might make a video on it

[@lfd10noob]

@@Cbrrah yeah I found your video by someone showing what Voldex is doing to Roblox

[@Cbrrah]

@@lfd10noob glad to see people are sharing the video!

[@zestrianRBLX]

Not exactly sure when you conducted that interview with Zeek, but it would be important to note that Zeek had already left Zo due to complications with the cofounder, TamperedReality, and had no say in the decision to sell to Voldex.

[@Cbrrah]

I never stated this in the video. I can share screenshots if the full interview if you need further evidence.

[@zestrianRBLX]

@@Cbrrah I am friends with zeek and many involved in that situation. Zeek can corroborate this info if you want to fact check it

[@Cbrrah]

@@zestrianRBLX go ahead. I literally provided screenshots from the interview throughout the whole video. I never said that Zeek was an active dev on the game or was even working on it when it was sold. I simply asked for his thoughts on what he thought about the game being sold and what his reaction was.

[@zestrianRBLX]

@@Cbrrah I don't doubt that, wasn't trying to discredit you or anything, I just feel like it would make more sense to mention considering his outspoken disliking to Voldex may be confusing to people watching the video who thinks he was part of the transaction

[@Cbrrah]

@@zestrianRBLX Valid point. I never really said anything about it in the video so it wasn’t too confusing from what I can tell. I’ve never gotten this question before.

[@whatthefuckisthats]

A little while ago, I was testing the zo anticheat with some exploits, the quality level of the anticheat has dropped drastically

[@Cbrrah]

I spoke with management recently and they’ve been told not to unban anyone who was banned by the anticheat because it “doesn’t ever mess up”. (Regardless of proof). This really shows how corporate they are.

[@7Yoshi7]

i started playing zo 2 years ago and i took a mid break from it then i came back to ¨Zo by Voldex¨

[@mrbeans5262]

ah yes, you can make a video about driving empire aswell cuz its owned by voldex aswell, and its falling apart

[@misfa_lil4322]

they need to make up their minds of keeping some of the region servers and some bugs that they say they’ve fixed just to find out they didnt😭

[@RandomGuy18274]

I wish Voldex would sell all the games that they bought and sell then to other game devs that actually care about the game and fix the mistakes that voldex did because, a unpassionate compant that makes game you get brain dead and bad games but if you get a passionate developer that actually cares about the game, you get a masterpiece

[@Nixo77]

Not just ZO but Voldex has got other roblox games like Driving Empire,Base battles and etc

[@Cbrrah]

I know, I might make a video on it. ZO is just the game my community revolves around.

[@Alanzo99]

The thing that makes me question a lot is that they told us they will never add dual wield but recent updates they broke their promise and added the dual wield anyways and oh look at them they sold with robux to dual wield, and some skins have tier 1, 2 and 3 but the skins that sre exclusive in the wheels is a tier 3 and wow ain't they so greedy to dual wield u need to buy for about 400+ Robux

[@notelse9001]

Zo has been so laggy ever since Voldex stepped in ;-;

[@Stormyfoxy]

i would like them to take more time with the updates cause i feel stressed when new updates come out so quikly after another

[@mastervorn3220]

Tamp and zeek were cool I have a group photo of them.

[@nanavroc9328]

Zeek is alright. Tamp not so much

[@hatedtscontentsin8-3-23]

DUNGEON QUEST bought by VOLDEX on June 2023.

[@urotsui]

This is honestly very true. Not only that but now it’s becoming adopt me With trading and literal scammers now. This is not the better ZO This is Just gambling,

[@RamonTukoso]

I have an enjoyable time for this game (so much in fact I spent/donate some robux for the exquisite golden skins). An authentic Japanese styled game on roblox is my dream. Optimized, breathtaking, beautiful after like 3000+ cash grab game *ahem* experience. Now what have it become, yet another gacha/csgo case simulator but anime with p2w (talking about dual wield). Limited skins skins skins skins skins and overwhelming and critical bugs unfixed for MONTHS. The skins are used to be a symbol of power and skill, now it's just "haha I am rich". I feel sorry for this game, I really do.

[@SageFPS]

Zo just got updated with a whole new diffrent safe zone map and it now just makes me lag and I only have 40 fps now instead of 60 and I’m using a fps unlocker that gives me 100 fps in any other game but except zo……

[@nanavroc9328]

Voldex has saved the game with the update and actually brought more players but the updates with the cash n grabs are just getting awful. As for the staff team. Something is going on im sure of it and proof of them./ ... .... .- -.. -.--/ -... ..- .. ... ... -. . ... ...

[@Yahshuro]

I'd prefer Voldex to refine the skins and enhance the fighting with each weapon, rather than making more and more skins, weapons, and weapon types. Other than that, I'd also like for the bans to be more in-depth in their investigation, so innocent players can have their accounts restored and exploiters can be prevented from continuing their abuse.

[@khrishaleigh4581]

I just play zo again after 1 year cause im bussy at school but I notice something every i hit the enemies are not dying insted of me and tha hitbox is so long Not before

[@endsmp9105]

i was once very good at the game but the false ban hit me and i tried to open a ticket and they banned me tried to open a ticket for help they immeditly closed it and banned me off the discord server to i was forced to buy 1,500 robux and farm my yen AND souls again i had about 28 k souls

[@tarunikaa]

Okay but didn't Tampered sell the game because he was losing money by unfairly banning players and top clans? That's what I've been told atleast

[@super_david-fj1dr]

fun fact, did you know you cant get daily spin skins for free?

[@Crcw.]

It was greatest game

[@hanarold6884]

I was playing zo when it was really cool. I don't really like it now cuz of the community and people saying No skill Spammer and other mean stuff

[@icecream1372]

i am honestlly disgusted by the sudden change of the game, like they are forcing to spend robux if you want a skin.. and the game glitches a lot from time to time. even though you are small creator you are sprading the message. Voldex will countinue to destroy zo since they are greedy bastards. i don't know how much longer i will play this game

[@grimseeks97]

when voldex came the frist update they broke the MS and FPS the game is now broken asf i cant even kill bots now days ITTO needs to came back bruh

[@ryakoru]

[@clarriissaa]

i got ban for no reason and need to pay for 1500 robux ig to get unban..

[@halfdecentstrange]

Koneko made a video about this

[@thutranbikatran]

It's so messed up how hackers can buy their way out of bans. It's so unfair because free to wins player that are good can get ban and not play again because you need robux. Voldex is a really selfish company since they don't think about the game and use all the game for example: base battles, and other popular games they bought/created, they use them to get money because yes, that's what games does for it's creators, but voldex.... it's different alright. Like dude Why make them spent 1k WHY JUST BAN THEM. HACKERS CAN EASILY BUY THE UNBAN. THAT'S NOT HOW BAN WORKS. I still think zo will keep growing but it won' grow as much until the player realize what voldex have been doing.

Zo has one of the worse anti cheat what you on about

[@Cbrrah]

I used to be a game developer, I saw how the anti-cheat was developed and I realized it was very very well made. The anticheat is developed on the server and the client. Meaning if exploiters try to tamper with the client, the server will pick it up. It was very well-tuned and I hardly ever got false warnings or anticheat bugs. However, I agree, the anticheat hasn't been working as well recently. After Voldex purchased ZO they may have tampered with the anticheat. However, there's no way to be sure. I understand where you're coming from tho, thanks for your feedback homie!

[@mikhailthepro]

@@Cbrrah Np I’ve seen an exploit hub with kill aura, range , mod detector kick on join etc and i see a lot of exploiters in my servers for some reason recently I saw some guy whenever someone touches him they get flinged very far into the void and then some guy used accessories removed mesh and aligned it to other people as a PP he framed someone innocent with it and they’re main got banned it was my friend who got banned

[@Cbrrah]

@@mikhailthepro I agree that exploiters have been becoming more common, but there’s no perfect anticheat. Nobody has ever made a perfect one and nobody ever will, sadly.

[@mikhailthepro]

@@Cbrrah it would be better if games added exploit detection when they inject there are accurate exploit detection methods out there my dev friend made a game that kicks on synapse injection or any other exploit

[@Cbrrah]

@@mikhailthepro synapse is an external injector. Meaning roblox developers can’t detect that. The only people that can detect external software is roblox. Yet, they still haven’t added a built in anticheat to roblox. His code probably said something along the lines of: (Sort through player guis) If playerGui.name == (default gui name) then Plr:kick()
