First of all, I didn't come up with this, someone else did and I am just spreading the word because it's still an issue for some people.
SO you keep going to Court of Oryx hoping you will meet other guardians who may help with your runes but keep hitting a ghost town? There is a trick: Every time you board the Dreadnought and head right to Hall of Souls (where Court of Oryx is), as soon as you hit the "transition area" (the pathway connecting The Breach and Hall of Souls), walk through that pathway really slowly until you reach Hall of Souls.
There is a matchmaking system between every location, not just when you launch the patrol. The reason for not being able to see anyone in CoO is that the transition area is too small and if you sprint through it, the matchmaking system will fail to match you with other guardians. If you walk through the pathway slowly, the game will have enough time to match you with others.
I've had the same issue at the beginning but after I started using this trick, I have always met bunch of people in CoO.
Please bump and like this so others can see it. I think this is a really helpful trick.
[b]TL;DR: If you can't meet anyone in Court of Oryx, walk through the pathway connecting The Breach and Hall of Souls slowly so the game has enough time for matchmaking to finish.[/b]
Edit: Thanks for all the positive feedback. This trick works on any Dreadnought locations and you can use it both ways - meaning that if you DO want to be alone in a location, sprint through the transition zone and there is a high chance you will end up alone. Good for Hadium Flakes farming in The Mausoleum for example.
Also, this will work on the planets, not just Dreadnought. But it's generally not an issue there because the transition zones are big enough to allow matchmaking to finish (except Earth - Rocket Yard).

Nice to know, thanks.

Wow, damn, never realized that's what the system was doing. Bumping this, good on you for spreading the word.
-
This works sooooo well. I used it first on the Rocketyard for the Taken champion and 4 or 5 times at CoO. There has been at least 2 other people at each area every single time.

OR, you can simply go on the recruitment section and find people to play with?
-
Sweet, thanks :D
-
I just go orbit and come back. But I'll try going slowly and see if that does anything.
-
Thanks OP.

What is this weeks court of oryx tier 3
-
I did this and got in to a court with 5 people in it. about time there was someone in court of oryx.
-
Something else that's not understood correctly is how that system works. Most people don't realize if you go in solo you are technically a Fireteam leader, which means you occupy 3 spots in the zone for your "team". So three solos showing up an CoO will stay three solos cause they each count as a Fireteam. Just FYI.
-
That's the stupidest thing I've heard... today. But knowing Bungie's coders I guess it can be so.
-
That's interesting, thanks for the tip.
-
Going to try today try for the tip appreciated
-
Thanks for this post it really does work
-
Thanks. Great advice.
