Server latency spikes, game unplayable

Since yesterday, the game has become unplaybale during certain periods of time.

Today, Bloodwolves grind went from no delay to 5-20+ seconds delay = you use a skill and the dmg takes that much time to register. 
Period began around 20 minutes before Karanda spawn on Valencia.

Karanda did not load in, but her attacks did. So i died on the spot after 2 minutes of standing around, attacking thin air.
The death window had no respawn option. It just remained on the screen. I force quit the game.
After loggin in, my character was instant dying over and over again. Respawn options did load in but when clicking on one, server disconnected me.
This happened 3 times.
The 4th time, Karanda was dead, i managed to tear up but had no input controle as the death winwod was still showing and blocking.
The 5th time, i was alive and found myself in loss of 1 tear and 0 loot.

I relogged to Bloodwolves and had the same latency delay as before = unplayable.

If this keeps happening, i will not be able to play bdo due to ... i don't know? Is it the server quality? Too many players?
Connection on my end is fine, has been stable during these events.

I am highly disappointed by the overall quality of the game after 12 months of voicing feedback concerning server quality and bosses being unplayble by the community.
Any BDO manager reading this, please take it to the appropriate developer, although they really should know already.

And all of this while having a boss item drop event. That is a bold one.

Day 3
Velia storage cannot load for 2h now. Npcs take minutes to load, menus take minutes to react, combat is impossible due to delay.

Deleted and installed the game, nothing changed. PC Bdo meanwhile runs smooth. IP is stable. PS4 is stable.

This is a game blocker issue. For every day it stays like this, i consider getting 1 day of kama, book of old moon and value pack as those are now being used up from my stock.

Also missing out on all event drops.
