I've found most the "op" builds on Technomancer are either Double Gun/Assault Rifle with the tactical perk making them burst fire. Not sure why but it feels like it does way more damage and it's easier to get headshot crits with the burst over the normal variants.

Using technomancer with assault rifle and blighted rounds, its pretty insane, pretty much unlimited ammo and melts everything. Though I just went up a world tier and it got harder again. 
Supposedly better with sniping but thats awful on console. Quite good fun but think "end game" is pretty limited.

Did anyone else notice that as soon as they completed the game and got to the expedition area that the game suddenly causes screen tearing? It never did it at all until the final area.
Its almost like I "unlocked" screen tearing as a reward for completing it lol.

I actually did notice that but honestly thought it was my mind playing tricks on me and must have always been there.
It's way more during cutscenes but notice it from time to time during normal gameplay which I don't recall seeing while leveling up and doing the story.
I did a Google and it seems we aren't the only one. Its strange. Up until that final base camp the game was absolutely fine
Is this game broken for us PS5 folk or is it just me? Maybe played around 2-3 hours and I would say I’ve had maybe 6-8 server disconnects mid mission or cut scene, that topped with swirling circles when trying to sign back in. :/

Nope. Played a bit on xbox over the weekend. Had several disconnects both solo and in a group, was almost unplayable. This has been my experience with it every time I have tried to play it other than the demo which was faultless. Shame really as I wanted to love it and sink time into it over the winter but I am hugely underwhelmed.
I haven't finished the whole story yet but I can confirm I have not experienced any screen tearing on the Series S throughout my entire playtime.
Had multiple disconnects and crashes to desktop on Xbox so you are not alone. A bit of a pain when you are trying to capture the game for editing into a video later.

Are you supposed to level up the world every time you unlock?
it’s getting pretty tough now I think at level 7 started dying a few times on bosses solo.

No, as Vengance notes you can turn off the option for auto increase World Tier as you go (It's in the menu under World Tiers).
I have left mine on WT7 as I found it to be the right balance of difficulty and fun when playing the game. I am also recording the gameplay for upload to Youtube in parts thus don't want to have to edit through multiple deaths and re-runs as would inevitably happen on higher World tiers.

Cheers, didn’t know if you were supposed to. Just got to the spider boss and on tier 7 solo is really hard. Might have to invite a party to help.
really good game so far, feels a lot like gears.
can’t believe got it for free on game pass!

If you are struggling with leveling up WT's organically whilst playing through the campaign, I'd recommend pausing it for the time being and setting it to WT5 so you can comfortably get through the campaign until level 30. The WT makes no impact on the amount of level exp you get for your character so just sit back and enjoy the campaign after which you will likely be level 28 / 30, have a majority to all of your stat points, and probably enough epics/legendaries dismantled that have Tier 2 / Tier 3 mods to start making a build.
Once I'd made the decision to do this it becomes less of a grind to get to the end and more fun as you aren't constantly fighting over-leveled mobs with under-leveled gear as without farming elites/bosses you'll never have enough resources to keep your gear leveled with the mobs.
After the campaign, my Level 30 Pyromancer is now blasting through the WT's with an LMG & Volcanic Rounds build, and because gear drops more frequently it's easier to upgrade the bits I like the stats/mod rolls on for my playstyle. I am not yet doing expeditions as I'd rather get up to WT15 before tackling the end game so just completing all the side quests, hunts, and assassination missions.
