What could Relic do?
4) Distribute their hosted servers on AWS globaly (e.g. some of the capacity in AWS in Frankfurt) so don't have to take a detour to NA all the time. This would improve the ping for alle players and avoid bottlenecks.
Thx for the informative info, but this lag/server issue is something Relic leaders could have been
1) transparent about months ago
2) or failing to investigate due to negligence
3) or higher-ups that suffer from cognitive dissonance and willful ignorance
TL;DR Not just Relic but the entire gaming industry needs new leadership that has a backbone without willful ignorance, self-Deception/confirmation bias and cognitive dissonance. That takes pride in delivering quality content on schedule and on budget!. Also reducing Relic's wasteful spending is a win-win deal for both fans (more value for your money) and Sega shareholders (increasing return of investments).
With recent gaming news, my faith in this industry (the corporate side/psyops infiltration, not the fan community) has been permanently crushed. Relic won't do much as the wrong people are in CHARGE..
We're better off writing an open fan letter to Sega. With the downfall of even CD PROJEKT RED caused by higher-ups bad attitudes, it's obvious fans are just a walking wallet for the most part.
Relic higher-ups will sing like a canary once they have something to sell.
Remember sunshine is the best disinfectant.
Tough questions that enforce transparency, not softball questions are the key to cleaning up this mess.
When is the last time higher-ups in Relic has done a non-scripted AMA with the fan community? Anyone? No softball questions to Relic leaders don't count as doing an 'interview' or two ways communication.
I'm 99% sure the Relic GM aka the insincere charming Microsoft fanboy could fix this CoH lag issue (among others) with only a few phone calls. If he actually cared about the CoH IP rather than pretending to be something he is not as actions speak louder than words.
Insert insincere Relic GM promises here; xxxxx
“We have an incredibly broad mix of customers to support, so having the right management backing and approach to security is essential for us. The games that we produce create significant volumes of data, and our studios use that data to continuously influence how they are developed,” says Kashif Iqbal, Sega Europe’s head of corporate technology and cybersecurity.
“This means that our security approach has to be just as agile, able to deliver results faster and make our team more productive.”
wakey-wakey America!
Need-to-know for all Americans as the U.S. military is at war to save the constitutional republic (see below confirmation).
This stealth war/second Cold War is also confirmed by many insider sources.
Team Humanity vs Team Sauron: DoD Special Forces vs. CIA firefight in Frankfurt Germany (server facility related to election rigging) Confirmed DoD operation & successful raid:
The U.S. Army did not conduct a raid in Germany on either Scytl or Dominion offices or servers. They are foreign nationals and we must operate in accordance with German law. Moreover, the U.S. Army does not have law enforcement powers with respect to such entities.
So what happened? I am reliably informed that a unit under the command of USEUCOM (i.e., United States European Command) did in fact conduct an operation to take control of computer servers. But these servers belong to the CIA, not Dominion or Scytl. The U.S. military has full authority to do this because any CIA activity in the European theater is being conducted using military cover. In other words, CIA officers would be identified to the German government (and anyone else asking) as military employees or consultants.
Such an operation would have been carried out with U.S. law enforcement present to take custody of the evidence. That means that the evidence will be under the control of the Department of Justice through US Attorneys and can be used in court or other judicial proceedings.
This is not the first time that a military unit attached to EUCOM has compelled a CIA computer facility to hand over evidence. A dear friend of mine (a retired DEA officer) told me about an incident where he entered a CIA facility in Frankfurt backed up by the US Army to get info the CIA was withholding (this took place in the 1980s).
I also have confirmed what Jim Hoft reported the other night–the CIA’s Gina Haspel was not informed in advance of this operation. Based on this fact, I think it is correct that action was taken in Germany on territory under U.S. control and that a CIA facility was targeted.
The leaks purportedly revealed that a top secret CIA unit used the German city of Frankfurt am Main as the starting point for numerous hacking attacks on Europe, China and the Middle East.
We should not confuse military silence with no action as covert operations are now underway. This raid was leaked intentionally for a reason.
This successful DoD raid against rogue CIA should give Americans a little bit of hope that justice will prevail.
These special forces are under United States Secretary of Defense Christopher C. Miller acting since November 9, 2020.

Global authorianism is now a fast-moving train and the "positive military" and "we the people" must act to derail it or risk another world war. Also see below warning by General Sir Nick Carter, the chief of UK's defence staff.
This DoD restructuring is following a previous recommendation by JFK during the first Cold War era.
“according to John F. Kennedy: "There is another type of warfare—new in its intensity, ancient in its origin—war by guerrillas, subversives, insurgents, assassins; war by ambush instead of by combat, by infiltration instead of aggression, seeking victory by eroding and exhausting the enemy instead of engaging him. It preys on unrest."

This is a good time to remind everyone of KGB's Yuri Bezmenov who foresaw all of this +30yrs ago. After the fall of the Soviet Union we didn't think Communism was a threat. Sadly that wasn't the case: https://youtu.be/bX3EZCVj2XA
All warfare is based on deception. Hence, when we are able to attack, we must seem unable; when using our forces, we must appear inactive; when we are near, we must make the enemy believe we are far away; when far away, we must make him believe we are near.
General Sir Nick Carter, the chief of UK's defence staff, says there is a 'risk' of another world war.
He said history 'has a rhythm' and some of today's regional conflicts could see escalation lead to miscalculation' and then 'full-blown war', 8. nov. 2020
These positive changes such as restoring the Rule of law don't necessarily come easy.
But one nation under God has real meaning. Biblical Endgame.
For news on this developing legal fight. Pay attention to Sidney Powell as this courageous "Joan of Arc" along with DoD intelligence has the potential going all the way to US supreme court and/or military tribunals.
According to General McInerney, Sidney Powell's “KRAKEN” is related to a DoD Cyber Warfare Program.

Big Tech & Digital Gulag
This is the best interview I have seen related to big tech’s digital gulag.
Glen Bech quoting Rudyard Kipling (1:24:30) The Gods of the Copybook Headings is brilliant; must watch
Michael was a Professor of Liberal Studies and Global Liberal Studies at NYU from 2008 to 2019. He also taught at Duke University, North Carolina Central University, Carnegie Mellon University, and Case Western Reserve University. He holds a Ph.D. in Literary and Cultural Studies from Carnegie Mellon University, a Master's in English Literature from Case Western Reserve University, and a B.A. in English Literature from the University of Pittsburgh.
Professor Rectenwald is a pundit and champion of free speech and opposes all forms of authoritarianism and totalitarianism, including socialism-communism, “social justice,” fascism, and PC.
Without going into all the speculation here, two main reasons for the delay are;
I have no disrespect towards passionate Relic devs. But the Relic rumor mill keeps spinning as long the studio keeps failing with transparency.
Logical thinking.
DoW3 destroyed a great deal of consumer confidence in Relic. As one result, the rumor mill is no longer working in Relic's favor. With relatively low consumer confidence, all the Relic secrecy is not a winning strategy.
The studio has more to gain than to lose by becoming transparent.
Also sunshine is the best disinfectant against incompetent leaders.
Both passionate Relic devs and fans deserve leaders that cares about CoH excellence.
That is all.
So ridiculous that all Relic games/IPs (CoH + DoW) have zero confirmed community managers while AoE4 has 4 Relic CMs + Microsoft CMs.
How can any pro-CoH devs working at Relic be OK with this?
If I equate it to my IRL work experience I would guess Coh2 is the lowest importance thing in the company. Or Sega has their hands around Relics balls so tight they cant do anything?
Relic ideas are worthless without good execution. Even if we assume the best CoH intentions there are just to many Relic leaders/managers who fail in execution with little top down accountability.
Relic leaders could have turned DoW3 failures into success stories by removing deadweight.
For me, the most disappointing thing is the corporate hypocrisy/double standards and empty promises.
My fan advice to Relic/Sega management; Walk-the-talk or STFU!.
For example, Relic leaders still claim to be a transparent company.
If Relic leaders believes that's true then I'm James Bond (wishful thinking).
This is Nintendo leaders walking the talk;
