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).

No shit? Seems like Bungie ought to fix this. We shouldn't have to "discover" these things.

Nice post, bump

Yeah I've been having some real trouble finding others in the Court. Thanks for spreading the tip!

Another trick is to go there and as soon as you see any other Guardians names in the zone (even if they appear far away and only 1 person), just launch a Reciprocal and solo it real slow. Generally people will come if they see events started, but not always just to come to idle players.

Good info thanks! I normally sit down and hope for people to pop.
-
Wow that's really interesting! Thanks.
-
I'd noticed recently that there was barely anyone there, I'd put it down to people getting bored with it already! Thanks for the tip, shall be trying this for sure :)
-
Great tip. Thanks.
-
Hmm, this is interesting, thanks for the info!
-
there is another way to do this, the first person you meet, pm him and get him to come to your party get that guardian to add 2 of your freinds and invite them and then you also invite another 2 of your freinds, so then the 6 of yous will be there. much easier

Thanks

i've always ran through that hallway and then jumped over the broken pillars to go intot he hall of souls, and sadly, out of the 50+ times i've done that, i have only met other guardians like 5 maybe 6x otal. i will have to keep this in mind.
-
I ll try that. Thks!
