How come we have no red servers yet???

CoV seems to be awfully buggy and laggy right now. There was a lot of speculation in CoV beta whether it was ready for launch. I suppose they didn't quite get the stability and login issues worked out yet.
Apparently numerous bugs with contacts still exist too. A new one has cropped up, requiring us to log out after doing a newspaper mission in order to get into the next mission.
I'm getting tired of constantly jerking as I'm running around, just after two days of playing. Perhaps people are waiting for issues to be patched up a bit.

I know the bulk of the cov players were current coh players but what about all the returning people and the new comers?

Shouldnt the servers be at least yellow?
[/ QUOTE ]
You would think so.

Now I will be stuck soloing thru cov too?

Pretty much. Enjoy the new age of CoS, City of Soloers.
The devs only have themselves to blame.
Are you complaining that the servers are not red and therefore laggy? Go to Mercy Island, we got lag to spare.
not laggy but just need to be populated so I can team. I hate soloing with a passion.

Where are you playing? Port Oakes (at least on Guardian) seems to have plenty of players.

I was expecting on monday for this game to launch and we finally get some life back on these empty servers..

It is hard enough as it is to get on a team. Now I will be stuck soloing thru cov too?
[/ QUOTE ] ill admit id love to see more people playing, i cannot see for the life of me the appeal of that other game. i mean its basicly tolken retold by stoners, it baffles me how anyone could enjoy it, my 15 day trial was dull as hell.
but i so far have never really had a big problem finding a group, if you tag yourself as looking for a team you usually get a fast response, at least thats my experience. it seems that at least most pugs i have joined have had sane people in them. and this is speaking as a guy with 3 defs and 2 controllers, so teaming is of extreme importance to me.

Naw, you don't have to do that. Just select the mission.

The zones are way hooge compared to CoH. I think. Check your graphics options, and make sure your world and character detail settings are at the proper levels. I know I had mine up too high at first, but after adjustment I can pretty much run around alright.
61866 - A Series of Unfortunate Kidnappings - More than a coincidence?
2260 - The Burning of Hearts - A green-eyed monster holds the match.
379248 - The Spider Without Fangs - NEW - Some lessons learned (more or less.)
Actually I am surprised at how smoothly the game is running and how bug-free it is after beta.
I guess cramming everyone on a single beta server kinda stress tests everything.
Virtue has a healthy population, and so does erm erm the other one that's usually double yellow at prime time.
The game is all right. Don't fret about it.

I can select the mission fine. Clicking on the door gives me a message that I can't start a new mission before finishing the old on. Logging out and logging back in again clears that message.

Some of my missions are fine. Others lag as bad as the outdoor zones. If so many other players weren't complaining about the lag over the broadcast channel, I'd wonder about the graphics settings. I have the same settings in CoH, and I'm not having any problems there.
Strangely enough, yesterday I was playing in Mercy Island when there were two different instances of the zone; Mercy Island 1 had no lag for me, while Mercy Island 2 did. I tested it out a number of times, and the two were very consistent about that.

I get this error at the mission doors all the time. What you actually have to do is select the mission like you would if you were captain of the team. The mission has to turn red for you to actually go in when it bugs like that.

I have the same bug which gets really really annoying.
Come over to Champion, its running 2 instances of Mercy Island and Port Oakes. Though I only saw 1 of CAD.
Remember all of that stress testing in beta was to get the server running with insane numbers, I rather expect the cap for the load bubbles changed with the release of COV.

Hit the button marked "Select Mission". Thats what worked for me.
Was on Virtue earlier and there were 2499 other players on it combined through COV and COH. Before the COV launch, Virtue usually only had 1600 people on it during US primetime.

Massive, massive lag in Siren's Call on Guardian tonight. It was exactly like beta, in fact, on a green-dot server. I guess it wasn't the number of players making it lag.

You do know that the servers were changed so they could hold a larger capacity of people, right?

exactly. 9 new zones means a hardware increase to the server clusters. Capacity increased in a stealth nerf kinda way! <.<

Yes, the green of today covers a larger load than the green of yesteryear.
One thing that a lot of people aren't takeing into account, is because everyone started at 0, a LOT of people are playing with their CoH SG's.
I know my SG, the NIGHT it went live on the Pre Order, we had 2 8 person teams going at once. They leveled to the teens by dawn.
Even now, when I log on, I see usually 2 teams from my SG going, so theres a good chance I can get on one of them.
I know most of my SG's members are playing CoV, with occational jumps back to CoH to kick [censored] in Warburg.
It could just be that all the people that ARE on, are on teams with their SG.
I know that I'm either soloing(by Choice I'm a soloer 70% of the time) or with my SG.
But PUG's? I don't do them anymore. I swore them off.
The servers aren't yellow because they had their capacity increased before CoV was added to the existing servers, unlike companies like SOE they don't like to see the servers buckle under the pressure of players before they decide to fork out the cash to upgrade them.
If there was actually a number counter for the active population you'd find that the number of players has actually risen quite sharply.
They may have upgraded the servers themselves. All I know is that last week, CoH Champion was running around 300 players during a 5pm scan. During head-start it jumped to 600. Last night there were 1400+ on Champion. Around 800 Villains and 600 Heroes.
I'd probably say neither of them are dead. I'm having to decline invites left and right while hooking up with my SG in both games.
I think its doing just fine. 
I've had no problem getting or forming teams in CoV. Maybe you've just been unlucky?

That's what NCSoft's quarterly report is for.
Freedom was very briefly yellow yesterday... Still, I was expecting a red or two.

You know, all you have to do is pull up your "Missions" screen, select the mission in question and hit the button "Select Mission." Seriously. I've hit this bug many times and never had to log out to fix it.
