→What will be in the Diablo III Beta?
On the 19th of April, 2011, [[Bashiok]] made a post in the [[battle.net]] forums[http://diablo.incgamers.com/blog/comments/the-diablo-iii-beta-only-be-a-small-part-of-the-whole-game/] giving insight into the design team's intentions of keeping the game close-to-the-chest so players can be surprised when they have it in their hands, and also reveals some of what the testers can expect from the beta itself.
<blue>While beta will obviously be a lot of fun, should you get the chance to get in and help test, <u>it’ll only be a small part of the whole game</u>. Some people want to know everything, but we’re really trying to preserve the surprise and wonderment (that we hope will come with exploring Diablo III) as much as possible.</blue>
Blizzard has been very careful about not leaking details about Diablo III's plot, so it's widely expected that they will not include more than Act One of the game, and will probably rip out some of the plot details from whatever they do release. Bashiok's quote above gives credence to this speculation.
