Difficulty Level Naming

Tremble

I personally think that 6 difficulties would be pretty awesome.

Normal
Vicious
Cruel
Ruthless
Merciless
Sadistic

Sadistic is the best.

Pampered or Swaddled
Unkind or Mean
Dastardly or Ferocious
Cruel or Malignant
Vicious or Brutal
Merciless or Sadistic
Insane or Purified Evil

And again, I would love to death to see a check box that says "Psychopath", "Lunatic", "Masochist" That would make skills cost 2/4/8% more from base, and enemies have 3/5/6% more HP from base. A modifier to characters that bumped up difficulty through all the levels. There is already a hardcore thing, so why not?

I´ve been reading some answers and they are really clever...

But i must agree with some on that instead of a simple adjective the difficulties should reflect the game/player itself...

So take into consideration most words have or might already been suggeted... i am not only "voting" for this words... but suggesting how to "present" them to the player...

Instead of the "name" of the lvl being "Path of Exile" why not having something like Shao Kahn's "Choose your destiny"... remember that?? XD

So here is my suggestion:


-Choose your Path-

Wanderer
Forsaken
Condemned
Exile


Wanderer would be "easy/normal" game... simply because that's what the player is... we enter and wander around... like lost... until we understand the game.

Forsaken i like the sound of it... giving up... renounce... they just left u to die.

Condemned ... damnation... your soul is lost to oblivion!

Exile... and finally... this is where the game get's it's name... cause THIS IS FOR REAL!

I don't think the first level must be "Hard". This is just ridiculous.
My opinion:

Developers may just make the classic game modes, like "Normal" -> "Tough" -> "Hard" -> "Hell"

If not, then the expanded variant of what they already have:

1. Merciful
2. Violent
3. Cruel
4. Ruthless

But the best (and familiar to everyone), I think, will be:

1. Brawl
2. Battle
3. Slaughter
4. War

Nightmare

Doom!

Maybe Maelstorm of caos must be the last dificulty and "Coas" must renamed as The Exile!

I'd suggest this:
Easy
Normal
Hard
Very Hard
Exile

The fact that exile is the only term not common to describe difficulty here gives it a neat sense of specialty and it refers to the title of the game. I find it perfect ^^
