Diablo 3 Beta Video Gameplay #33: Bonus Beta Areas
Update: The realms are back up and the bonus areas are gone. I just checked with 3 chars that had access last night, and the Festering Woods waypoint was no longer accessible to any of them. Pity Blizzard had to remove our fun, but at least these areas gave fans a hint of how much better the full game is than the limited content we have in the Beta test.
Bonus Beta Areas Confirmed
The bonus beta areas we posted about earlier have now been confirmed, as a functional section accessible through the Diablo 3 Beta. I spent the past hour exploring in the area myself, and took a few screenshots for documentation.

Bonus Beta Content Hacked?
Screenshots have popped up from anonymous sources, claiming to be from beta testers who have found a way to enter additional content in the Diablo 3 Beta. The screenshots all show monsters and areas from the Fields of Misery and its sub-areas. That is the next surface area in the game, which is accessed through that locked gate at the north of the Cemetery of the Forsaken. (We previously saw this area in Blizzard’s “Inferno is really hard” video from Blizzcon 2011.)
