Oh ya, the adventure mode stuff looks kewl.
They're likely preparing for a stable BlizzCon build. Major changes are bad at this point. But then, who knows?
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.
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.
Alabaster...even now I regret not being able to give a shot at that version of the game.
Edit: Map of Act 1 is in older news, but anyhow..
