When a group enters a graveyard, those players should not be allowed to leave the group until the group reaches the next floor. If the player dies, they could leave the group as well. It's tiring to have a good group, enter a graveyard, then have half the group leave. Then things get tough and that one other guy staying leaves.
Graveyards are supposed to be something to overcome as a group, not something to roll your eyes at and leave the group over.
I love graveyards. They are tough, and that's the best part of them. Add me as friend and invite me when your party leaves you =]
MOMMY THE PHANTOMS THE ARE UNDER MY BED
I also love Graveyards. They're hard (which = fun for me) and they have massive good loot.
The only problem is the phantoms: monsters have more health the more people are in the party, but these are the only mobs that actually increase in numbers to reflect your party size. Meaning it's actually easier to do a GY by yourself than it is in a group... but ALSO meaning that if you start in a group, and others leave, it's almost impossible to win, because now you're facing 2-3 extra Phantasms at the same time.
Only thing they should do is have the phantasms disappear when people leave the party so it stays at a 1:1 ratio.
What they SHOULD do is add extra incentive to complete a graveyard. Maybe a special token that lets you get some goodies from Brink.
I love graveyards when I'm solo. They're one of my favorite map types. When I'm in a random group, I go solo immediately. If OOO prevents me from doing this I'd just leave the group entirely instead.
Good gods, have you been to a T3 graveyard before? Even if you are properly equipped (shivermist, glacius, etc.), it is a long and tedious level, many players do not want to put in that much effort. I'll also wager that a good majority of players don't even know how to handle a full party T3 graveyard, I know I'm not so good at it myself. So don't be surprised when everyone ditches. If you're worried about party members ditching and leaving you with extra phantoms, make it clear before you step on the party button that you don't want anyone ditching, or go solo.
