Playing on UV.

It fits best for training.
I see HMP as normal and UV as hard.
Almost the same here.
Though I treat UV as a standard/normal mode and everything lower as a easy mode.

It happens sometimes that I play every over difficulty. ITYTD-HNTR-HMP for testing / to reach certain badges. And I tried N! when I sought for more challenge (but I found boredom instead).

Oh, speaking about difficulties: sometimes N! is easier than UV (powerups, exp). This is pretty a design error, isn't it?
N! SHOULD BE harder than UV (and other difficulties) in EVERY aspect.

Seeing people like 2dev hack this game pretty often on N!, I do not see a reason for making life of such players easier.

I voted for HMP, as that's what I would usually test (read: IDDQD) on. I win fairly consistently on HNTR, but don't have the mad skills for UV or N! by a long shot.

Oh wow, we have 1000+ members, but only 33 are around to vote?  This scares me a lot...

A lot of people don't vote in polls. Or post regularly for that matter.

I like UV. Makes it nice and hard, but not gimmicky. I can win under UV, but it's certainly not assured. Actually, I can die with reasonable certainty on any difficulty level, but it really feels like it was my fault on UV. And wins are all the sweeter.

Now I've just got to learn to stay away from shotgun builds for a while. They're so handy early on, but it's a crutch......

Poll ends in ~9 days, so if you play DoomRL, vote for the difficulty that you play on the most to provide a collective feedback to Kornel.  =)

I mostly play ITYTD, I've had a few good HNTR runs that went reasonably well (until I died) but I don't really have the time to get good.

I voted Hey Not Too Rough. I like Angel challenges, but I die too often on higher difficulties. I can play a standard game on Hurt me plenty, but no challenges pretty much.
I bet a LOT of people who dont vote play on I'm too young to die, so it looks like all difficulties are pretty awesome.

On N! should always be harder than UV, I don't think so. N! is supposed to be more crazy and brutal, but not necessarily harder.

I voted Hey, Not Too Rough because I've been playing this game for about a week. I've tried Ultra Violence and gotten my ass handed to me on the second level a few times, and Hurt Me Plenty is kind of an in-between. I'd like to beat the game first before moving on to the other difficulties.

HNTR for my vote, but I know that it's because I'm new and I still suck.

However, sometimes I honestly think I might do better off on HMP or UV because of the extra experience. Not  changing my vote though!
