Tried King's Fall hard mode and it was a bit interesting. Up to Golgoroth was okay; we were able to take down the priest in a few tries, though it was noticeably more difficult.
But wow, Golgoroth was a real challenge - there is so much going on at once you really need a team that communicates well. It became really obvious a few times who could handle the extra mechanics and who could not. There was just so much frustration at that part we had two guys leave because of a terrible attitude. Did manage to clear it though.
Cleared the sisters - that wasn't terrible, though the random runner seemed to cause problems as usual. Didn't even try Orxy because Golg took so long.
All in all, I think hard mode is just that. With no revives it magnifies issues pretty quick, and teamwork is even more important. I know some hardcore guys are looking for something even harder (see Jbo's suggestions), but for a more casual player like myself, it was plenty hard. I could see a lot of teams having trouble clearing hard mode even once - there are pretty much no "cheeses", and one or two weak team members will bring the whole team down.
Still - great fun! Got some nice look to up my light a few points and I'll be running again after the reset for sure.
