Do people not know how to sword bear?!?

Three times. THREE TIMES! Over he course of today and yesterday, we have tried to do the fanatic of crota, and each time there would be some dude in the court of oryx. (I thought you people said this game was dead!) and everytime that one guy would pick up the sword, and do absolutely nothing with it! The first guy was yesterday, he was new. I could tell because he really didn't know what to do and was kinda trying to figure it out which I can't blame him. Me and my fireteam however was getting tired of his BS at one point so we left to orbit, and came back to the court. We then encountered another guardian at this second court. He seemed pretty smart, he had a high grimoire and he had the spindle which lead us to think he knew what to do. We then went ahead and did it, and before we can clear adds, he picked up the sword, helped clear and adds and [i][b]fought the Wizards.[/b][/i] keep in mind these wizards are floating up high, and he is trying to smash the hell out of these wizards. WHAT THE -blam!- ARE YOU DOING?!?!!?? we then gave up and did it today. We got on earlier and did it and again, we have another guardian there. We didn't check him out so we didn't assume he was a noob or a pro or anything we just kinda went ahead and did it. Nope. Nope. Nope. This guy, once again, while we are clearing adds he picks up the sword, and he goes straight for the mini crota. Keep in mind taken phalanxes are everywhere knocking us all around so we can't even get an aim on the boss! By the time we finish the adds the damn sword is gone. He did not take the hint when I messaged him 4 times and sent him multiple party invites to not pick up the sword. I've done this fanatic of crota atleast 4 times in a row a while ago and was the easiest thing to do. Keep in mind I never successfully killed crota in the raid with the sword, but sure enough I could still do the fanatic of crota in 1 or 2 swords. (Often 2 times) We then got really pissed at this guy, left to orbit and we then went back, and did another court. This time again, there was another guardian in this "said to be dead" game. He and his buddy was just starting to do tier 3 so we helped him. I didn't pick up the sword because I I respected these guy and knew how fusterating having a random pick up the sword was. This one guy was an absolute pro. He got down the fanatic in 1 sword. After they were done, we did it and let him be the sword bearer. Again, 1 sword only. I then reported this guy for the options "highly skilled", "friendly" and "helpful". I also sent him a friend request. It amazes me how some people simply don't know how to hold a sword while others can cut apart entire worlds with a sword.

    • Don't you just kinda strand there, maybe up on your hind legs and roar at stuff? Maybe root through someone's garbage?

    • Ran court of oryx last night with 5 random players. No problem with the swords or any other problems. I think you just had a run of bad luck. Also I now swear by walking slowly between areas on dreadnaught as since I started I have constantly been seeing other players.

    • I know them feels. Was trying to do Fanatic the other day, dude just kept grabbing the sword and heading straight to him. Instant death. Over and over and over. So I pop Stormtrance, clear the adds, grab the sword and do it myself so they can see how it's done. Next round he grabs the sword before clearing anything and hides behind the portal. So I clear everything myself, down Thalnok, he's still sitting behind the portal. Thalnok gets up, he rushes out and starts wailing on him. Dead. I gave up and went to run strikes.

    • Everyone wants to be the swordbearer. The only way to minimize your frustration is to get the randoms into your chat and basically lay down the law with them.

      • When you have a group at the court it helps if you can get the randoms into a chat. I've Ben successful with only 3 people. One person focuses on adds, especially acolyte's eyes and be sure to take down the wizard on the side the sword bearer will take to approach mini-Crota. The other two dps the sword knight. As soon as he's down the sword bearer heads towards mini-Crota as the other two use heavy, snipers to get mini-Crota to kneel. It works better with 4 or more. That way you can have one player focus on adds only. It sucks when those shield-taken knock you off the court.

        • Nobody ever let me do/try it. The one time I get to do it someone screws up and makes us wipe. I get the blame.

        • Experienced the same thing yesterday. I think for some they see the sword drop and they want to be the hero. So they rush around trying to slice everything. But I definitely agree part of it is likely ignorance when it comes to the timing of picking up the sword and what to do with it.

        • Well, earlier today, I got to the court and there were 2 dudes already there. So I use my antiquated rune. Well, the sword knight shows up, I kill him and pick up the sword, and wait for them to take his shield down. But guess what, they keep dying. On top of that, they start shooting him with hand cannons, and every time they reload, his shields replenish. So I messaged one off them, and said "take his *%&king shield down with a heavy weapon", but I'm guessing he couldn't read, since they kept using a hand cannon. I just went to orbit, and he send me a friend request and a "sorry" message.

          • Lmao that's sucks bro. The fight is actually pretty nice and nostalgic. If you were a good sword bearer and had a shitty team, you'd still be able to drop sword shot a ghorn and then go hit crota 4 times. It's definitely 3 man-able

          • I tried it three times with 2 random sand we eventually got it on the third. The first time, the guy who picked up the sword went after Crota while his shield was still up. The next time, we got a new swordbearer
