As none of you might know, I'm a college student has a very limited amount of free time. However, I still feel that it's worthwhile to spend some of this valuable free time in order to try out the new Doomrl version. This was nice, and I completed a personal goal of mine to get enough badges in a single run to unlock challenge mode. To give an opinion of the new version, I like exotics. I especially like the fact that I get the missile launcher for completing the wall, WAY more useful than an advanced rocket launcher. However, I somewhat doubt the exotics. I doubt them because in their transition from uniques to exotics, they've lost the level feeling. This forces me to look all over every level if I want to see if there is one, while with a unique, I don't need to bother if I didn't get a level feeling. I think there should be SOME form of level feeling in order to see if their is one.

Nice run. I know how you feel, I unlocked the challenges in one game (had a pointless death before it, but still), and you can really get a lot of badges all at once if you play it right. I think you could get 11 in the first win, maybe more.
Anyway, I always look over the entire level when I can, so I didn't really think about the level feeling aspect for exotics. However, since they seem quite rare in random generation, I can agree on adding the level feeling. Since Uniques are "You feel there is something really valuable here!", exotics could easily be "You feel there is something valuable here!" (remove 'really').
