I’ve noticed that so many players know exactly where everything is on the map, the waypoints, next levels etc.
I thought maphack is forbidden, how come so many are using it without being banned?
I even talked to one that said he is using maphack for a long time now…

I maphack with my mind.
Also playing the game for two decades, you tend to pick up on patterns.

Since blizz has sorta left d2r, many players are playing with hacks believing that they most likely won’t get banned…and plenty of folks would be fine getting banned, another account is easy to get.
But ultimately, it is still silly to run mh for most veterans, we all generally know where to go…and with teleport it makes grushing or whatever very easy.
Do you believe in Santa Claus 
? What a joke, the game is full of hacks, bots, map hacks, Blizzard does nothing! The entire game is infested with bots, since the 2nd ladder

Some people have maphack, others have pride.

After playing for so many years it’s really not hard for me to predict where the exits / bossrooms are. Never used mh but get accused of it often because there are patterns to the maps.
What’s wrong with believing in Santa Claus? Better yet, what does me believing or not believing in Santa Claus have to do with maphacking in a game?

There are only like 3-4 variations for each map. Over the decades, when you see one major landmark, you know where you are.
The unconscious memory runs deep too. I can find durance3 during meph runs without ever actively knowing where I’m going.

The maps haven’t changed in 20 years, it isn’t hard for long time players
I mean you kinda learn eventually the patterns of things even if you dont know the exact method.
Im still sometimes off but ive hosted and teled over 40k baal games. You develop muscle memory for it. Most people do not use maphack d2r is not like L.O.D when everyone did
I’ll find meph about the same time a maphacker would. Maybe SOMETIMES they’d beat me. But negligible. Maybe they find baal doors faster, but it’s like an extra few seconds. Meh
I don’t use maphack, I’ve never used it, or any other cheat or bot.
On the one hand, you know the game and through many farms, you can also assess the maps from experience.
It doesn’t always work, but it’s quite ok.
D2R in group play often suffers from the idea of wanting to get through at all costs. This is no longer so relevant in hell at the latest, as the high-end stuff can drop everywhere. It’s more about getting to the Baalruns to get the char to play the items, because you often don’t get anything done too early on hell with low chars without items.
I like to play group games without rush. But that rarely works, because in most cases, either someone comes in and turns the game into a town game with rush, or people log in themselves, give themselves the wps and pull themselves through.
There’s no team play and playing the world.
Most of the time, when I see the high end sorc or something porting through, I leave those games because they’re basically over.
I have a 2nd account and can just drag myself through the game if I want. I would like to play with the others though, but that often proves to be a real problem.
I don’t think maphack even exists does it??

Better not test if it does, a lot more chance you will get a virus. Learn maps its fun and legit.
as linked earlier by dark jedi. if u understand the tileset, you can find your way pretty quickly… its not flawless, and some maps purely are completely random…
the one i used in path of diablo is linked below, but it’s still the same for D2R

its pretty helpful, you just need to understand the concept of “entrance and exit tiles” and “right or left” based on your characters point of view
and then of course act 1 is really just “follow the path” for 90% of it
People still spend real money on items for this game, despite it being dead and no longer actively developed.
People will do crazy things to “Be first” or “in the lead” - you see this everywhere IRL too, with people being complete D-bags to each other for no reason.
