Temple might be good now, but serious server issues.

So far the temple felt pretty good, you don't lose too many rooms anymore and you get charges in a reasonable amount of time too - so the exploits are no longer a necessity to get any use out of the temple.

However I'm experiencing *serious* server issues for the past few days. Oftentimes these are isolated to specific instance servers, IE there'll be a night and day difference by just entering a portal.

Changing servers from europe to america didn't make any difference there. The issues are constant rubber banding, and extremely spikey latency that generally hovers around 300, but will on occasion go up to 60k or higher, IE minutes of lag at a time.

I experience no issue with my internet other than while playing PoE, and even during these minute long lag spikes I can access the internet just fine otherwise.

It's so bad that I had days where I'd log into PoE, see that I'm lagging, and log right back out again.

Not sure if this is useful, I don't usually swap weapons much but in the temple just now I would reliably get a lag spike every time I'd swap to my main weapon set.

The reason I swapped was because my minions were locked outside of the temple room I was in, and since they are only on my main weapon set this usually resummons them.

I tried this three times upon noticing the immediate lag spike, and on the third time I got a lag spike of over a minute that almost killed my character - once the lag spike was over the minute of combat played in fast forward, despite me immediately pressing ESC after the spike started.

This is completely unplayable, and if you can't fix this I will have to stop playing PoE2.

More anecdotal information:

I tried going to character selection during a lag spike, this didn't seem to work. After the lag spike that almost killed me I started going to the log in screen immediately though, this at least appears to work just fine, I can log back in immediately and the game appears to be paused when I log back in.
