• You can now promote someone else to leader while in a dungeon. Previously... there were reasons for this.
• If your party leader leaves your party will no longer instantly return to town (including in the middle of a boss fight). Instead a new party will be automatically elected.
• The group leader can now disband the party during combat and a new party leader will be automatically elected.
Improved party promotion and leader disband behavior
