I haven't played this game for a really long time. Last time I played was before the first DLC for the game dropped. I had most things maxes out at the time.
What should my next goal be? I have the season pass so I should have all the dlc.

Your first goal should be to leapfrog your way up to the highest world tier by upgrading your gear score. Don't stress out about specific sets or anything, just work on improving gear levels. Whether you do this by running missions, doing high value targets and bosses in the open world, or hitting up west side pier's randomly generated missions is really up to you. There are lots of sources for loot.
If you want a break from making gear drop, you can duck into Survival mode for a bit. It's not a great source for gear (though not bad once you can successfully extract) but you'll need to do some learning runs anyway at some point.

Doing the daily missions are quick and easy if you use the group finder.
I really hope Massive learns from all the current negative feedback for the next GE. Something needs to be done to improve the rewards for doing every piece of content that isn't challenging Lexington.
I managed to get 6pc Pred and 5pc everything else this GE. This 5 pc Nomad is still pretty good though but 6pc Pred is pretty much broken.
I have 9k stamina so I'm tanky as fuck but I hit like a guy with 9k firearms.

Honestly the biggest change they need to make is to have your highest position count for the leaderboard rewards. As it stands now, you can be sitting in say tier 2 last night, log off and then first thing this morning some asshole can stagger a load of completions and box openings together, cheese themself to 25k/hour credit and bump everyone down the list to the lol 2 gun skins and 1 crate tier. It's butts. At least masks got moved into the achievements as a start, but there's definitely work to be done.
How did you manage to get 9k stamina without having no talents on your guns? Or does the extra bleed at 9k just trump everything else?

To bring the loot rain, though, HVTs are tough to beat. Building up the target intel, though, is a bit of a grind.

for those you need to make your own group though right? or at least I haven;t seen an autogroup function for that, probably because I haven't looked.

Or solo them.
EDIT - to clarify, everything except for the top 3 or 4 weekly HVTs (the "high-risk target") can be retried (at no cost) if you get killed. The high-risk targets, though, need you to spend their target intel cost again to retry.

So earlier Zetty had typo'd that he solo'd a Legendary mission, and someone else asked for his 'god-like' build to do such a feat. Apparently, there is a guy that actually does it, and without Classy gear (though it is pretty optimized). This is a 4pc Tact build that pumps skill power as high as possible, basically not much fighting with guns, but all skills all the time.

That's interesting. I vaguely remember a point at which they nerfed turrets because they thought they shouldn't be able to kill yellow bars or w/e. So how does he do it?

I bit the bullet and bought the season pass. I'm overwhelmed by the changes since I played. I think the day I quit was the first day of HVT
Not that that's why I quit, just when I did.
So right now I guess I should just hear up through world tiers via boss fights and dailies and HVT?
Is the dark zone tiered like world tiers too?
My builds always focused on high skill power builds and either insane non stop heals or walls that made me near invincible with pulse that let everything become crits
There used to be a cap on sticky damage around 400k I think, but that was definitely lifted and hear people getting to 1M pretty easy these days. I mean it seems like a pretty boring way to play, to be honest. He's a total glass cannon so he just hides the whole time only peeking out to sticky and seeker mine. But it's still interesting for the solo fact.
Meanwhile I'll likely get bored and stop playing before I finish a classified set that I'd actually like to play with (or maybe even at all with these drop rates). I'm maybe still a little bitter about how awful RNG was during this GE.
Try Humble Bundle, not sure if that allows you to install to Steam though.

Okay, I see them on sale now on Steam. Does the season pass get me all the costume pack stuff as well? If not, there is no reason to buy it as I already have Underground separately.
SnicketysnickThe Greatest Hype Man inWesterosRegistered Userregular
It does get you the Frontline pack with the CBRN, SWAT, Hunter etc stuff but not the other stuff like the Upper east (west?) side fancy jackets or marine forces camo gear etc.
I'm at level 25! almost all the way around, which is presumably the end of the plot.
The West Side Pier stuff extends the plot a bit. Not in the sense of new story missions, but stuff depicting things happening after the original end of the plot.

You may have to choose between the two and probably would choose a different offensive skill over pulse but skill power builds are still at thing, just typically focused on either offense or defense instead of doing both.
SnicketysnickThe Greatest Hype Man inWesterosRegistered Userregular
Oh good lord I just had the most stressful (and highest scoring) Survival run ever. Into the DZ, got some reasonable stuff, mainly a decent purple LMG, but mostly blues. Walking towards my antiviral drop, take a cut across the street up the block from that crossroads LZ, Hud glitches and I think, huh, well ok fine. Fight off a wounded hunter, feeling pretty good about myself. Hud is still glitchy. Oh there's another hunter coming down the road, kill him with a bit of damage. Oh great, another one. Just about get him down, but now I'm out of medkits. His med box isn't dead. Shit. *just* get him down, but a stiff breeze would blow me over, everything's flashing red.
Quiet.
Jesus.
4 Hunters? I got pretty damn lucky there, but the score got me close to 16000 on the extraction so hurrah!
The daily challenging and hard missions will probably be the fastest though there's obviously a cap on how many you get doing that per day.
After that, you can try hitting open world bosses, both the standard and HVTs you can handle.
HVTs are a fantastic way to get Bird Cred (assuming you can solo them). At WT5, the weeklies give out up to 95 for the non-High Risk Target. And the daily ones go up to (I think) 50 and are pretty quick to run.

Just make sure to check the Intel to Credits ratio, twice as many Intel for 10 more Creds is an easy pitfall there.
Surprisingly enough, Field Proficiency caches also reward a decent amount, plus they come at a pretty decent clip while you do other activities. If you have a surplus of cash, I *think* the gear caches you can buy in the HQ also have a small amount of PC in them but I am not 100% certain on that.

Especially if you've held off on collecting all the pickups scattered around the map (voice mails, situation reports, missing agents, crashed drones, etc...). At 110,000xp per pickup at level 30, I've had to force myself not to loot them while leveling.

It's not exactly optimal, it just makes it still useful to collect those things at max level if you aren't into the jacket the collection unlocks. If you don't pick them up before 30, you're delaying your advance to 30 so a bunch of enemies and missions whose exp would later on go towards caches goes instead to advancing your level.
