Okay, so I've been playing this game for awhile and am tired of endlessly wandering around maps. Does anyone have a good map hack to use for 1.10? Hopefully one that is easy enough for a simpleton to install/use.

What's the point of playing a well developed game if you're just going to cheat at it? There are other games that don't have 'endless maps' and pointless wandering. The randomness is half the fun, and the pack of Death Scarabs that you run past may just be the ones to drop your SoJ. Tele-Baal runs are almost as bad as bone-farming. Maphack just exacerbates an already inflated economy, and ruins a perfectly good game.


btw, this goes directly against the ToS for D2, and you could get your CD key banned.

Okay I'll address your commentary...
The first part of your arguement is easy to refute. The point of playing the game is to have fun. If using a maphack ruins a game for you, then dont use it. As for me, I find the game enhanced by using one.
As for playing other games - I do so quite a bit.
On the moral side of this: I would not use a hack that affects the play of others. If I choose to employ one, it would be alone and not one that puts undue strain on the network (causing lag).
The last part of your response is quite valid however and I am aware of the risk. Account cancellation or CD Key invalidation are a concern but I feel they are worth the risk for an old game I have played for years but may be ready to discard anyway.

I don't get the high and mighty non cheating stance that many people take. I see it a lot on some Morrowind forums. When playing *your* single player game *your* entertainment is all that matters. If installing cheats that boost unique item drop rates or whatever make the game more enjoyable for the player then they should install them all. Besides once the game is beaten all there is left to do is to try to collect the best items to make the ultimate character. Doing that shit can take forever without cheats.

Cheating by yourself in a single player game is one thing, cheating online and ruining everyone elses game is another. Mr_Meat never said anything about cheating online, or even cheating in general. He wants a fucking map hack to reveal the map so he can just run thru the game and do whatever he wants. Who cares?

I stopped playing D2 around 1.05 or whatever, so I don't really know whats going on or what has changed with 1.10, but it appears that the old map hacks do not work. I have no leads on where to find said 'hack' but good luck to you.

Multiplayer cheating sucks. Single player cheating.. to each his own. I cheated my way thru Painkiller just because the game is nothing and blowing shit up is fun, especially when you don't have to worry about collecting health etc. I do not cheat in any multiplayer game tho, I just never have, and it seems to defeat the purpose. One could argue that it defeats the purpose in single player games as well, and it does, but a game like Painkiller or most any other FPS for that matter are easily defeated without cheats. I just chose to use godmode so I could slaughter nonstop.

Painkiller is a good game btw, you should check it out.. The last level is insane, probably the best level in any FPS ever. The premise of the last level is stupid, but the level itself is amazing. It is supposedly in hell, and it's basically a battleground, but everything is frozen. Not like frozen as in ice, frozen as in suspended in time. There is a bomb in the middle of the ground, but it has just made impact with the ground and not exploded yet, and it's just hanging out. Mortar explosions with the crater in the ground, but the rocks are suspended in mid-air. Genius. Buildings being blown apart, with the bricks and wood and shit just frozen in mid air. Excellent idea.

Cheating in an online game is way different because it fucks with everyone else's enjoyment of the game. There's nothing worse than hitting someone 3 times with the BFG only to have them turn around and blow you to bits with their mahinegun.

Menoman

I won't berate anyone for using cheats, err... well yes I will normally haha :P Where is the satisfaction of beating the game if you cheated? its like taking steroids and winning a scholarship, you didnt earn shit

I know that arguments can be made against me. but I dont really see how useing maphack online is any different from using it single player.

It dosn't effect how other people play, it only effects the user's experience.

It's their game. If they want to cheat then they should. Have you ever used a strategy guide to find the weaknesses of characters or the location of some stupid quest item?

DownwardSpiral

Actually, the newer versions of Map Hack allow the user to see what items other people in the same game are wearing. Now what if somebody does not want to reveal what items they use, so someone uses that feature of Map Hack to see? That right there affects anyone who's in a game with a Map Hacker, not just the user.

I'd be willing to try anything to make the Act 3 Jungles less painful.
Hacks and cheats on a multiplayer game suck ass. Although I don't use a map hack, whatever you want to do with the game that you paid money for that doesn't affect anyone else's gaming expieience is alright by me.
To answer the original question, I haven't seen any 1.10 map hacks around anywhere, but I'm sure if went on Battlenet and spammed 'U Got MH?' enough times, you'll find it.

Drider_it

yeah i got a cracked version of mh.. no clue how to get it to ya.. i dont play on battle net servers.. we play on bnet.tog.net they dont check cdkeys.. they dont take crap from peps trying to trade hack or such.. ender firewalls jerks that mess with the realm.. you bot your gone.. its fun and he allows mh

for those that are mind bent that mh can get you banned.. i have yet to get banned.. i have personally emailed blizz over 50 times stateing i use it and my frst classic and exp keys are still playable..

they cant detect it.. now if you add other cheats to run with it sure.. if you bot and use mh .. sure .. but its what i call a passive program.. it takes whats updated to your map file in your save folder and displays it.. now if you look at other peps items they are wearing and such.. well that i dont know.. i just use it to see fire enchanted critters and the baal and mef runs routes.

Try going to mousepad's site, I believe it was http://www.btinternet.com/~mousepad/ been a while since I last played. Never ever ask for programs on b.net, you're just asking to be trojaned and jacked.

BuddyHawks

It's $15....i personaly wouldn't pay for it.

Shard has it right.. although it took me over 30 tried to find a non trojan cracked version of mh i finally did heh..

mousepads would be the only one i would say to use.. the other what 3 out now will work but im not gonna say you wont get banned from them..

a site like this would be ok to ask someone .. for that but like blizzhackers .. i would say no..

yeah money for a hack hahaha i posted a one liner on mouses ..

told him he should get something for his "hack" so i posted a pic of a set of pig nutz and said.. dude its a hack.. for a 4 year old game.

Diablo 2 is trash without maphack. Running around in the dark in some mindless random dungeon is complete bull shit.

Menoman

I agree the difference is multiplayer/singleplayer and it doesnt matter to me what you do offline. But how many people actually play offline?

The point of a Random Dungeon is so you don't run up kill mob, exit, repeat. So if you use it online your getting a major advantage on Mephy runs, Baal runs. Chances are you can do probably 8-10 runs in the time it takes a real player 4-5.

You'll never get the same respect like that.

As for me using strategy guides, answer is yes and no. I always play the game through 2 times. First to beat it normally getting whatever I run across. Second I beat it taking my time and looking more indepth for items or quest pieces.

(for example the first time I beat FF-X I didnt have any of the celestial weapons and didnt even have the celestial mirror, the second time I got a few of the weapons and the mirror but couldnt find many of the powerups. Very poor quest hinting in that game)

Then, if the game is worthwhile then I'll use a strategy guide to pick up an item or two I may have missed.

I'm not exactly sure how you compare actual hacking to using a strategy guide though :\

I played diablo 2 online for years, didnt use a maphack, enjoyed the wandering.... to each his own though, im not going to stop someone from using it to make runs of bosses, but It's just not my thing

if the game was meant to be played with you knowing the level, the game would have shown you the entire level's map right from the start.
