What is special in the corrupted areas?
Better Loot, more XP? Or what?
I dont see any sense in playing normal zones (non-maps) with my Level 89?!?


YOu can get the fragmets that open the queen fight in those aeras, or you get vaal skill gems and they should always contain an unique boss, which meens an additionla boss drop - so you kinda get more loot out of it, but the bosses can be hard ;)

Just FYI, these corrupt entrances don't spawn -only- at the edges of an area. We just found one in a Sarcophagus in the Crypt area, doing the Through Sacred Ground quest. We saw the red/orange rectangle on the map, and went up to it, and there was a floating heart above the sarcophagus with no other indicators. Clicked it to open the sarcophagus and bam, corrupt area entrance.

I had a good amount of luck finding them in act 2 cruel den. About 2 an hour.
I have a question - if I make a party, will everyone get a map piece or gem?

Nope
Im under the impression chances are far better to find a corrupted area if you run with a team.
Found another odd one under a "Loose Grate" in Upper Prison.
