I do not think Arthur or Lemming were reading the post incorrectly. I have seen a lot of new Dark players create characters by renaming their regular hellfire characters and then expressing chagrin that the items morphed. Those people eventually acquired decent Dark gear with their imported vanilla hellfire characters, but I have not seen many who became very good players in that mod. Arthur is right. Learning to play the mod is best done with new characters. Also, it is primarily a coop mod and is not conducive to solo play, particularly on hellmode. This is why I still like to play hellfire fixed when I am unable to find a Dark game due to time zone issues. (Most good Dark players are European). Thankfully, since HellfireFixed is available, there is no reason to play Hellfire 1.01 and I have stopped playing that version for the reasons alluded to earlier.
After rereading the post. I think Ellman may be right that Puma was talking about quest items in SP games. They do. indeed , morph when a new game is made. However, those items are so overpowered anyway, I cannot imagine that is any real concern.
