Sorry dood, I don't understand the question... If you're asking if I have ten thousand certs then the answer is no.

Its also possible that the timer was reset because of either the patch or the server issues.

Wait till they actually have the server working for 24 hours straight before you get so excited about 17 cert points.

Have you seen my stats and how long it takes me to accumulate 19 certs FFS? I ain't as good as you dood so I need them passive certs to make up for my lack of skills. And it's not just 19 certs... as I said, this has happened before.

I'm sure he means well.

But it annoys me a tad when skilled peeps think that everyone can be as good as them, with a little effort. I'm at my best now, and the only time I can improve my XP rate is by either using boosts or jumping in with a BR100 tanker as a gunner.

Or, sometimes I have been on the winning side of an alert, but that is rare because I only get on a couple of days a week.

So I have to work on my current average of around 120xp per minute.

120 * 60 / 250 = 29 certs per hour.

I'll generally jump on for around two to three hours at a time, perhaps three sessions over the weekend.

Say I get ten hours a week in;

10 * 29 = 290 certs per week

I generally log in every day at 48 certs per day so that's

48 * 7 = 336 certs

336 + 290 = 626 certs

So I am averaging 626 / 7 = 89 certs per day, which includes my passive certs.

So trying to suggest that someone of my activity and skill level can earn 60 or more certs in an hour is something I just cannot understand, but I am willing to be educated, if there is someway a "forever noob" like me to farm the zerg...

it is possible to get around 60 or more certs in an hour.

hell if you are lucky, you can get 100 certs in an hour, you've just gotta know how to get em

Well I think 250 xp = 1 cert

So to get 100 certs per hour you would need to average 417xp per minute.

I get a little more than 60 certs per hour on average.

EDIT: and with my other character I average a little more than 70 certs per hour: https://players.planetside2.com/#!/5428142524596862945

With my first character I averaged a lot less lol: https://players.planetside2.com/#!/5428076919559114257
