Nu verwacht je natuurlijk dat dit online niet te gebruiken is, maar helaas. Doordat Diablo II aan de server je posities doorgeeft, zal je iedere keer een heel stuk verder lopen dan de server verwacht. Dit lijkt heel erg op 'lag' voor de andere spelers. Maar zo kun je dus je tegenstanders neerhakken voordat deze jou in beeld zien staan.Implications:
The speed hack gives its user a range of advantages. In normal combat, the user is able to run at or even walk at five times normal speed, allowing him to escape monsters with ease. In a similar fashion, it aids Pkers, who can now use the hack to catch up to and slay legit players. The ability to run at such speed could make everything from completing quests to gaining experience much easier and quicker. Consequently this will cause major imbalances within the game. By tuning up the speed setting to up to 100 times that of normal speed, a hacker is able to effortle ly scout a certain area. As everyone has experienced in times of lag, a character is able to see new areas on the minimap as long as he's own computer thinks he's there, no matter whether the realm servers actually registers that he's there. Hence the user is able to rapidly scout out the position of shrines, waypoints and other features of interest at virtually the speed of light whenever he enters are new area.Erg vervelend dus, nu maar hopen dat Blizzard snel een patch uitbrengt...
