New Unreal is a an all around miserable experience.

[Iyrnthota]

I've done Ex 1 and 2, I've done p1s and p2s multiple times with weekly reclears. The new Unreal is at least on par with p2s in terms of difficulty from my experience last night. Proging and weekly reclears on p2s for the 6 weeks it took to get what I wanted were absolute torture and completely unpredictable.

Then don't take this the wrong way, but it could just be you've hit your wall.
