Ships jumping puzzle will have a yellow bar taken captain and a yellow bar taken phalanx spawn on every ship.
I think that if someone walked up to you with a shotgun and shot you (more or less) point blank, you should probably die.
The meta is already too "hang back and pewpew" for it to be completely nerfed. Aggressive players should be rewarded for their bravery.
this would actually be very cool tbh.

I've done the NF 4 times and never got a cloak to drop. What the f.

I'm thinking they'll have taken vandals on the side of the ship jumping arena. The same ones that spawn when fighting the sisters.
Yeah I got the Taniks cloak the other day. Looks pretty nice.

You didn't brag about it a lot so how am I supposed to remember that?

I really, seriously, hopefully doubt that Bungie is going to add enemy elements to the platforming sections. Not their style.
Hey don't question my personality. You don't see bragging to Cuco when I get a 309 Ghost.

Someone will find a way to cheese it by letting the phalanx launch them across.
I don't brag a lot either... Particularly about my 310 ghost.

IMHO sunsinger will only be useful in places where add's can kill you rather than doxology and mechanics...
So a guess would be:-
Opening door - slightly useful but add clearance of stormcaller might be better
Warpriest door - pretty useful for knights and wizards, but it depends on what happens to the buffs if you have them when you die
Warpriest - pretty useful for add's
Golgoroth - may be as a clutch self-res against an accidental thrall
Sisters and Oryx - not much use unless you are the floater and so can't impact the mechanics of the fight too much.

Reposting my question since it was at the bottom of the last page.

Fireborn gets a bad rap. It's always useful in the early days of Hard raids when we're under-leveled and can't revive. I'd definitely run it in most encounters- namely Totems, Warpriest, and Oryx. Daughters is debatable but still probably a good idea unless you're smart about popping Radiant Skin on time to tank some damage that might've killed you.
NM KF has a few key mechanics to limit its usefulness. You can't die and self-res while holding a sync plate during Daughters-Oryx or else the platforms will disappear in that split second. However, dying any other time without self-res would be a big problem since it might wipe an otherwise good run. Golgoroth is the biggest one, especially for gaze holders who absolutely positively cannot die under any circumstances. Radiant Skin is crucial here. Then there's the Tablet of Ruin which I expect to get some new complication in HM.
People hate on it but self-res is excellent for serious PvE. Keep in mind that unless we get great drops along the way, the damage scaling penalty will be severe at Oryx. Similar to being one level down during Year 1. And that's just based on Light level, there may be additional penalties for the Heroic modifier and/or more Major enemies ala HM CE.
If the last three calcified fragments are in HM KF then hopefully it has new areas to explore.... Just putting them in the same area seems kind of boring.
I wonder if Oryx will have a "final hard mode form" that we haven't seen yet? Fight oryx in the shadow realm?
Would be also cool to get an exotic HM KF taken sword from Oryx!

Done it 8 times Last night. No cloak. Rng is an asshole.
I have the Darkblade helm sitting in my vault and I've never really looked at it. Think I will pull it out today.

That's what i'm thinking (or rather hoping for). Three new fragments for three new small areas. Be that more platforming, add killing or an additional boss/boss stage... i'm down!
Omg plz no.

I've been 300 and mine became 310.
I still think they will be tied to those "raid challenges" bungie accidentally put on their website a while back. Seemed like there was a Warpriest Challenge, Golgoroth Challenge, and Oyrx Challenge? Can't remember for sure.
I just remember because it spoiled the raid bosses names before we knew what they were. Maybe they're timed challenges in HM or no deaths or something.

I like this idea as a present its everyone jumping across at their own time.
Will give it more of a team coordination approach
Cool thanks!
Yeah I agree I've posted guessing the same thing a few different times.
Wonder if those will come with the hard raid or if they will be further time gated by some additional harder mode (330?) to the raid.... I remember on Bungies web site they were listed with the regular Heroic Raid so maybe we will see them tomorrow.
Bungie also took down the 330 exotics from the armory recently.

Yep, this has been the theory I subscribed to for awhile now. It also fits perfectly with the 3 additional raid emblems viewable in the kiosk (assuming the fourth emblem is for HM completion). Three bosses, three challenges, three missing raid emblems, three missing calcified fragments. It would make sense if the fragments were awarded in the same manner as clearing each of the three Tier 3 CoO's.
Honestly, I hope that this is the way the go with hardmode. Instead of just piling onto the same mechanics, it would be cool if they just upped the light level on enemies by 10 and added one or 2 new encounters. Maybe a new place to go after the jumping puzzle, or maybe a completely different path early in the raid, bypassing golgoroth/daughters and going to entirely new bosses.

Any blind hard raids making a group around at launch? I remember xplicitone had one going but I don't know if it's full or not.

According to DGAF, KF HM sounds awful. Yah'll are monsters!
I'm guessing the last three fragments don't unlock we don't already know about. The game is data mined with every release and update.
Edit: See Drizzay's post up that way. He's got the right idea.

Yeah it'll probably just be Taken Captains on the ships.

Now that I'm reading about Sunsingers again, I found a pretty good use for that subclass con Golgoroth. When you are down taking shots at the ogre, throw the solar grenade at the floor, that will prevent cursed thralls and taken from hitting the attack team. Did that yesterday on normal and no one died on that fight (and we are not that good).
Also, song of flame buff it's pretty good so hunters / titans recover their super energy while they are shooting at the boss.
Though I prefer stormcaller for the rest of the raid.

If someone with a shotgun walked up to me and i shot them in the face they would probably die. Not just proceed to jump and one shot me. It's not about realism.
I'm no pvp expert, but my solution to increase fusion/sidearm viability is to decrease shotgun lethality.
Shotgun pros would still be able to rekt people as long as they aim for crits. Just like chaperone users do.
