I just started playing and I used the warlords or New York booster to start the dlc immediately and I just finished and can go back to DC. Are gear scores and world tiers still something that exists?
I haven't been able to get to world tier 1 despite meeting all the requirements plus all the things I've seen have kinda pointed towards the idea that gear scores and world tiers aren't a thing anymore.
As soon as you begin the Warlords of New York expansion, the World Tier/Gear Score system pretty much evaporates. Once you're back in DC at level 40, it should be functionally as if you're in World Tier 5 endgame with everything at level 40.
If however you're being locked out of certain content like Strongholds due to not having a 'high enough gear score' despite having completed the Warlords content, please let me know.
