My connection to the game has always been pretty stable, up until the release of the Champions patch. Ever since then I have incredible lag spikes, lasting for more than 30 seconds before being kicked to character select screen. I get ping spikes of up to 5k and sometimes it's lagging so hard it's not even showing the ping increase. At other times I just see my loading screen for minutes on end and can only "solve" it with Alt/F4 and try to log in again. For some reason this happens a lot in Raids (especially during the Dhuum fight) and Strike Missions. Client repair does not fix this in the slightest, it's definitely not an Internet connection issue and it has been going on for 5 weeks straight now. I'm hesitant to join pug groups because this makes a liability at best and effectively a leecher. Of course PoF and S4 maps have been lagging for me just like for everybody else for a long time now, but it has been painfully noticeable since the Champions patch since before I hardly ever had lag/server connection issues.
I know ANet is working on connection and lag issues, but whatever they're doing it's a 100 times worse for me now. It has come to the point that I just don't bother playing the game at times because it sucks all the fun out of it.
