Difficulty Level Naming

1) Drowning: Refer to the first ingame impression
2) Crushing: Things are now starting to get real
3) Exiled/Endless: Depending on whether the final difficulty is impossible to solo or not. Endless means you'd play this difficulty forever and ever.
4) Endless/Lunatic: If soloable by most players, see 3) If not, only the lunatics can survive.
Please pardon my bad english
imo they should just use something related to the game itself.
maybe even the crashed ship in the beginning.
so basically the hardest difficulty would be Drowner and the easiest... i have no idea lol
I think DEADLY can be a good choice, it describes well what a game should be at this level

Easy
Medium
Hard

Good Luck.

Seriously, name it "Good luck".

"You've beaten the game on Hard Mode! you've unlocked the secret difficulty! Good Luck."

It makes it all the more intimidating when someone chooses difficulty and sees something like "Relentless, Cruel, Brutal, and then "good luck."

They think "oh really?"
and now you can make it as hard as you want. Buff the level 1 guys up to 10 million HP and do 10,000 damage a hit. When they die and complain, we can all go "Lol you saw a HIDDEN difficulty that says "Good Luck" and expect it to be anything but instant death? Lol!"
I didn't read all 50 pages... but first that comes to my head is "Insane".. :)
These have probably all ready been suggested but just in case:
Barbarous
Feral
Inhuman
Pitiless
Malevolent
Morose
Caustic
I don't know how hard those three different setups are yet, but i suppose that the next harder one should be like a "Bloody Hell" compared to the previous ones ;p
There is always a way.
If not ... let's make one ;D

Adventures

Slayer

Heroic

Hell of kings


Poe veteran! Have been here sense November 2010.
After reading quite a few pages here, I agree with one of the first posts.

The game's theme is exile, give the difficulty levels a theme based on exile.

Original post suggested:

outcast -> forsaken -> banished -> exiled

Other ideas along similar lines. Some of these make better sense if you assume they're prefixed with "Path of the . . ."

Pariah
Foreigner
Outsider
Shunned
Hated
Libertine (only suitable for easiest level)

I think the fact I just used "libertine" means I'm out of ideas, so out I go!
