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).

Best plan... when you find someone start a party. Then have both of you create your own fireteam. Now you can have a bunch of people all communicating. We got 6 together one time. You can also use the forums.

Or you could simply do this: Spawn in at hull breach Equip your ocarina Play the following C-left, c-up, c-right, C-left, c-up, c-right Have ghost teleport you to a full court of oryx Profit.

awesome thanks! I will do this until they actually fix it. Solution 2: Bungie could fix the matchmaking. It was billed as a place you could just come, show up, and help fellow guardians.. like a random public event, that was triggered by players. I love Bungie, I love Destiny, but *this* should be at the top of their to-do list..
-
great stuff, I love that sight when you run around the corner and see 5 or 6 guardians already in the court

Bump plz
-
Theres not a single boss or rune I cant solo, get good.
-
I just solo some tier 1's until people join in. 90% of the time, it works every time.
-
So I just wanna say that the matchmaking different zones might be a myth... I have seen the same randoms after following to different zones
-
Bump for later please
-
Nice info. I'm sure it will help in other areas as well. Wasn't aware the matchmaking system worked like that. I thought it did but I always just zoom by places on my sparrow or run so I guess it doesn't always work for me. I will try walking like a human next time.
-
Thanks for the tip! Excited to give this a try.
-
LMAO this makes a lot of since... I always just Blaze to it with my sunstalker huntan and there never anyone there so most times I will knock out some recipricals or just chill and play on my phone until someone shows u I have more fun when theres more people around

-
If you summon... They will come... I've always just started up some Tier 1 runes and people come out of the wood work.
-
a lot of areas a empty or nearly empty...been in skywatch for a half hour just saw one...divide none....steppes none...did something change or are people just quit playing? when we had the Queen's chest to farm keys after the wolves dropped you could easily find 5 - 10 guardians farming with you...now no one.

an alternative is to grind the exotic solar sword quest.. makes every rune soloable.. just did around 6/7 antiquated runes solo using the solar sword aha xD
-
-
If this doesn't work just start throwing on tier 1 runes. Once you start CoO it seems like the game tries harder to put other people in your lobby.
-
Can they like... Just pin this post all the way to the top. That'd be really nice.
-
Just make it so court of oryx is a flyable destination
-
Read this a while back and needed to do a t3 for the fragment. Good tips and made all the difference to have some more folks in the same instance!
-
I feel the main problem is honestly that the court of oryx isn't in a high traffic area... All strikes, most quests, and most zones take place the opposite direction so people don't go that direction unless they have the sole intent of doing court of oryx...if they would've place it somewhere with more foot traffic I feel more people would gladly pitch in on occasion... Honestly though I've never had a problem...I'll normally bring my own fireteam, or run t1 until people show up...

Works on PS4, but I never see anyone on XB1. I'm beginning to think nobody on XB1 plays Destiny...
