New Internal Patch: Adventure Mode Tutorials, Maps for All Acts, Call of the Ancients and More

SPOILERS AHEAD - We have strings, items, maps, you name it.
THINGS WILL CHANGE BEFORE LIVE - This is clearly a super early not ready for release build - A lot of class strings are even missing.
DATAMINING CAN HAVE ERRORS - We are dealing with unknown and new formats, stuff can be crazy.

Adventure Mode Maps
New maps have been added for Adventure mode! They can, of course, completely change before release.

Adventure Mode Tutorials and Other Strings
New Strings have been added, including new tutorials that shed some light on how Adventure mode might function. Might.

They're likely preparing for a stable BlizzCon build. Major changes are bad at this point. But then, who knows?

I get a feeling that adventure mode isn't an "open world" where you can travel between any Acts. I feel that it's a series of map, dungeons, random events and 1-2 bosses at the end. The questing part is gone.

I guess it's similar to Loot Runs (Nephalem Rifts?) but longer.

From what we've datamined so far it's the whole game, but without the questing parts, where you can travel anywhere.

That makes sense I guess, assuming they will be having one of the newest builds available for Blizzcon attendees to try.

And I'm hoping that's the way it is at launch. PoE style.

Nah, d2 style.

Touche. Regardless. I think its a much needed implementation.

Oh cool thanks. Without the right context i didn't notice it at all. Looks like random events will occur in different parts of the act and every time you go somewhere and complete this random event, a new one (or a few others) will spawn in different places / acts.

Once again thanks for sharing!

Alabaster...even now I regret not being able to give a shot at that version of the game.

Diablofans: Could you include a link to the Adventure Act 1 map aswell? So everything is "complete" in this thread?

Edit: Map of Act 1 is in older news, but anyhow..

I'm most excited about the class changes and the adventure modes. It hasn't been discussed on here yet, but I can't wait to see where the story goes. Hopefully RoS breathes some life into D3!
