I never noticed the "Game Rules" section before. :D Good stuff!
Well, I feel dumb. Found a forum post from 8 months ago with almost the exact same topic discussing this. :D Maybe it should be added to the rules so it's not buried toward the bottom of the forum?
As the title says, are -direct and -txt allowed with extracted assets for the faster load times? Talking about the method from this thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/Diablo/comments/qey05y/d2r_single_player_tips_to_improve_your_load_times/
As a viewer, and someone learning to run the game, this ruling doesn't seem good. There are versions where things are pretty broken, for example the battle net beta version for LoD, where you can dupe rejuvs by selling/buying them. There's also the patch that allows /players 64, which could break players X. Also agree with DonForgo, the classic to expansion character seems odd, since that's basically a classic run with just Act V Hell added on, while this is under D2:LoD, not just D2.
Edit: I forgot to add that in the battle net beta, you can craft +40 mana after kill gear due to a glitch.
