I have a concern and I've been wondering why no one bought this up to blizzard yet.
During boss battles it asks if you're ready to enter into the boss fight. It gives you the option to enter or not enter with your party. After entering there is absolutely no other way to escape from this fight. So a griefer could easily not accept to battle the boss leaving 3 players to fight a boss that's 4 player strengthed. This could cause lots of problems in Inferno hardcore or just any boss fight in hardcore.
So much protential for griefing. This will be a major issue.

good point.I have a feeling they are smart enough to handle that.. but then again.. that is an interesting point
I would hope that it will be scaled based on the number that accept. I would also hope they design the encounters so there is a "go button", like on the Skeleton King you get a prompt to enter the chamber, but before you start the actual boss fight you still have to activate the Skeleton King by clicking on him. And even then there's like 20 seconds where he's doing his reassembly animation - enough time to force exit the game with the 10 second countdown.
Well, at least in Skeleton King there is a small area before the boss fight starts so I suppose you could townportal away. Probably all the bosses will have some time before the encounter starts. So nothing like Duriel this time?

The only time you can portal out of that room is after you kill the Skeleton King.
I don't see myself playing HC with randoms for this reason and many others.
You're alive?!?!?!
OT: Well IDK if you should really ever play with Randoms for HC anyway, they'res always the possibility you get a new player who doesn't understand the mechanics of the game very well and ends up getting you and your pack killed.

I'm fairly confident that the boss scales with players in the boss battle and not the game as a whole. That's why it asks who is joining so it can adjust for this.

Haven't watched many beta videos and never seen a team take Leoric on, how and when does it ask who is joining. What if I am in town and my team goes into a boss battle..do I get teleported in or can I walk in later..what does that do to the scaling?

You'll get the popup asking if you want to fight the boss or not. It's not possible to enter the boss room midway through the fight.
Yea just got to play beta and noticed this. I haven't said no to the pop up yet and tried though. So does leorics door just close again or is it just not clickable?

If I recall correctly, kicking will not be available and fighting an inferno boss with 3 is still deadly.

I think it was mentioned that you won't be able to Town Portal out on more significant fights (as is the case currently with Skeleton King).
