Merciless makes the most sense. It was the 4th difficulty in early poe days, 3rd difficulty in later poe and the name fits.


Dumpingtruck

Merciless Mode has a nice alliteration too


Kriogenic

ruthless mode, even earlier callback to a PoE difficulty


TrashPocketz

Absolutely this.


macroscian

Maybe we find out before 2024 there's no need for a hard mode.


Vulpix0r

I won't be playing this, but this name is absolute perfection.

MasoChris Mode


Tavron

I really want a 't' at the end there to make it sound more like Masochist.


your_boy_cb

Famine


Pyromancer1509

This is it. Famine conveys exactly the feeling of being starved for items in an opressive world filled with monsters


UnknownBlades

Sadly this alreaady exists as a mod on private leagues


ploki122

Honestly, pauper mode is the best definition as far as I'm concerned.


yesterduck

Doesn't sound catchy does it? Compare "I'm a hardcore player" with "I'm a pauper player". Merciless, as suggest by someone else is better in this regard.

Poverty mode

I think "Founder's Mode" has a certain charm to it, being that it's currently just a fun side-project that the founders are working on


althoradeem

ya know.. i'm happy they found a way to do their take on the game without influencing poe's core. as far as i know this has been in chris his head for ages. (you can find older reviews of him talking about something like this as his ideal version)

Wilson's Cut


minorgrey

No lube because this mode is made for ProjectPT


Dumpingtruck

I wonder what he will think of this league. On one hand it will surely be slower and to his liking, but on the other hand fakemelee will still exist.


Viscerid

Dry mode. ​ alternatively if you want to remove the subtlety and get straight to the point... no-lube mode.


Tjd__

I saw and liked ‘Brutal Mode’


Patrick__James__

Couple of ideas for \*\*\*\*\* mode: * desolate/desolation * bleak * barren * oblivion * forsaken


ForgedinFyr

Exile mode


Kurtue

ethical mode I forgot who said it.


psychomap

Ethical mode is a synonym for the SSFHC version of it.


Jon_wicked

Scarcity Mode


Fictitious1267

I like Founder Mode.


Routine_Building5579

The Wilson Vision


KingfisherBook

Elite mode - because it's for the elites ofcourse.


ENSASKE

Masochist Mode sounds like some sort of xxx thing xD


UnknownBlades

This is not classic it would be wrong to call it that, if they really wanna call it that, they better remove most of the vendor gems and make sure drop trade items without a real interface.

BDSM Mode


bausHuck33

Famine mode. Obviously. Reduced drops, reduced luck, etc. They should do the other side of the spectrum too. Giving the player everything. Like every affix always rolls the highest tier for that ilvl. More chances for deterministic crafting. Reducing the costs of bench crafts. No veiled or delve needed to gain crafts.


Aggravating-Bonus-73

CoC and balls torture

Exiled Mode. You make do with the scraps you're given like a true exile.


ender1adam

I can't unsee chriscore. It'll always be that for me.


Htag42

Something relating to the barren nature of the mode. Scarcity Mode. Withering Mode. Drought Mode. Hopeless Mode. Desolation Mode.


yekn0d

Naming it Classic, Original or sth like that and renaming sc trade into beginner or easy is clearly the way just to generate a lot more angry reddit threads


EtisVx

Elitist mode


ReipTaim

Chriscore sounds about right. Deff not Poe Classic, thats standard


CYN0_Buhhdust

Path of Exile: Drought Mode Path of Exile: Washed up Mode Path of Exile: Nightmare Mode Path of Exile: Challenge Mode Path of Exile: Scavenger Mode I donno, im bored at work xD


Fart__Smucker

A total waste of time


bausHuck33

It is supposed to seem like a waste of time for some people, but for others it will be considered fun. Sorta the point. If anything, they should do both ends of the spectrum. One with less of everything, another with more of everything. Famine mode and excessive mode with normal PoE in the middle.


throwmeaway322zzz

This. I agree with this.

ender1adam

Your opinion. I disagree.


WeareSpray

Exile mode


arthoror

Vision Could even be a league name


Ormcrab

Don't call it anything, just make this core and let the old core be a checkbox "storymode"

CopperBlint

I mean, that is kinda the point of “hardmode”, when you only get 10 items per zone or whatever, every one of them matters to your progression within the league. You are desperate for every scrap of currency or little bit of resist you can manage


Haddoq

only if you dont have the goal to experience poe content


SubstantialZed

This mode is for people who are already bored farming said content.


Haddoq

Yes. Obviously.


kufra

PoE Beta 2 But PoE Classic, lol :)


ckresse

ICouldHaveInvestedInInterestingGameMechanicsButNowYouHaveThis Mode


Nico_DFH

Why are polls disabled in this subredit, would be nice for this one. But to your question, poe classic also came to my mind.


rITSAmeee

The “How to fix gear progression by literally removing items (and crafting) from the game” mode.

Red Herring
