To be honest if you want to play Glitchless you should be aiming towards DevX. It is non possible to play the game and not accidently double-cast or something like that :D

Yeah Glitchless basically means Dupeless , I'm waiting DevX 1.6 to hit so I can try the game without 0 glitches :)

Well this category is over then :/

Tbh I always suspected it was possible but the DevX devx at some point clearly said they won't change it. Ofc they could change their mind any time, I love south-walking so it will be a shame if that happens

Well there no 4-tile but apparently 8-tile in DevX 1.5.2:

"Watched some of your VOD to check for 4-tile, apparently Devilution fixed some arrow-related issues (not sure if those are fixed too)" In one of the runs Xavier_sb told me he found a way to 8-tile, no idea how that works tho...

"How useful is Fire Wall now? Seen in the changelog something about it got changed? Do the enemies avoid it (completely/partially)?" Yes, any monster without immunity to fire will avoid it at all cost (unless the monster is already in it an have nowhere to move). Basically you'll have to cast 3-4 times more FWs than before, with no duping of gold that seems too expensive for your limited resources.

''What I fear the most is the potential of some runs going without south-walking fix, and some (in the future, when it's fixed), with it. It's a crucial technique for physical speedrunning.'' As far as I remember South-walking will never be fixed as it is threated as core mechanic of the game.

South-walking is not fixed, but anything else is... like there are a lot of bugfixes that we didn't know were ''bugs'' so it playing quite different. After the first try on a Rogue it really is a fast Iron Man. Here you can see my vod if you are interested(I think I did best in the last 2 runs): In any way if I'm up to set-up a rules I think the setting should be as close to Vanilla as possible. If someone want to play on Fast, Faster, Fastest speed or with high resolution it can be considered a ''Modern'' category or something, idk really.

So basically DevX has fixed 99% of the bugs Diablo 1 has, thus it can become a real glitchless category unlike the current Vanilla one where you basically use anything else but duping. DevX ofc will have it's own separate category. I did try few runs before few months it's much much harder even for an Any% let alone a HC one. I like that. What do you guys think?

I'm worried because there are many options in DevX that can make the game easy or hard, Vanilla like or modernized, thus if this category is going to appear I think we should set rules for options.
