Difficulty Level Naming

Well I see no recent posts from any of the GGG big shots, so this is probably all moot.

But, for my 2 cents...

I like the idea of having "Exile" synonyms, but when I try to differentiate between banished, outcast, exiled, etc., I can't really do it. They all mean about the same thing to me. I think the point of this is to have the average user understand a rising categorical difficulty level by your designated word choices.

So, in my opinion, your "Hard" synonyms offer a wider selection of words and would serve your intent more clearly.

I'd like to see "Hard, Cruel, Ruthless" end with Ludicrous, Armageddon, or Deathwish.

How about something like:

- Torture
- Judgement
- Evisceration


I do like the suggestions of Apocalypse and Annihilation.

Everyone has been Exiled though, despite the difficulty.

-Casual
-Intense
-Brutal
-Insane

Nightmare
Anguish
Merciless
Ruthless
Suicide
I Am Death Incarnate!

Devilish
Ungodly
Obscene
Holycow
ChuckNorris

I must say i dont like the first 3. Not that is that big of a deal. Difficulty level names really dont matter to me. But if your going to have them they should sound good and logical. "Hard" should not be the easiest level. So how about 4 new ones:

Normal
Hard
Cruel
WTF (ok this might not fly so) Annihilation

I agree with tpapp157 and ness

outcast -> forsaken -> banished -> exiled

i think it has a really good sound to it and breaks from the norm. Having said that tho i like these words...

Infernal
Murderous
Suicidal

"

outcast -> forsaken -> banished -> exiled

Yeah I'm really liking that too.

Since it is the last of the difficulty stage I would say "Impossible" Should give a hint at the difficulty me thinks. =P

Really, I think ness is on to something. Instead of naming the difficulties something generic you can use the opportunity to add a little more flavor to the game.

outcast -> forsaken -> banished -> exiled

This is a really good idea. Kodus to you both.
