Over 9000 phantoms after going solo

I was just in a T2 graveyard with a terrible group. Shenanigans occurred just a couple rooms into the level, and I knew it was time to either quit or go solo. I went solo, thinking the map would change to an easy graveyard with one phantom. After loading, all four phantoms were still hanging around the area where they'd massacred my group. I killed them and moved on, heading past the entrance on my way to the next area.

There were three more phantoms at the entrance, plus a fourth which wandered in from the uncleared part of the map. I killed those too, and of course since I was spending all this time soloing phantoms I had to kill the four of them two more times before finishing the level. I'm assuming the original four had despawned completely and were replaced by the four I found later, because I frankly don't believe I'm badass enough to solo eight phantoms.

It looks like the extra phantoms don't despawn when you go solo. This is a terrible oversight.

Um..you're saying if you go

Um..you're saying if you go solo in the middle of a Vanaduke battle, he should disappear?
Monsters shouldn't "despawn" when you go solo. This could be misused and people could start skipping levels just by "Going solo and despawning all the monsters."

*Sigh*

Doesn't seem you're badass enough to kill eight phantoms...in T2

You could have taken a second

You could have taken a second to think about the post before making an ass out of yourself. I'm talking specifically about phantoms in graveyards. There's one phantom per player, which is why solo graveyards are so much easier. When you go solo in the middle of a graveyard the additional phantoms should despawn, but in the case of a full group you get four (possibly eight) phantoms rather than one. That's all kinds of messed up.

And yeah, when you're solo in T2 eight phantoms moving around the map is serious business.

Yeah this should be

Yeah this should be fixed.

I'm pretty sure its not 8 phantoms though. I think they resurrect themselves and when they are in their 'ball' form they teleport to near wherever you are (sometimes off-screen so it looks like new ones wander in)
