Got the same issue. I have 3 characters on 3 different servers and everyone received about 9.5k of certs.
I hope they haven't fixed this issue when the NA servers are up. Logged in and didn't find any extra certs.
Now i'm scared to spend my certs because i don't remember exactely the legit amount. Curious is that we all recieved different amount of certs...
Certification refunds were done for duplicate weapons purchased across multiple characters with this patch.
**UPDATE** A friend of mine got the same issue as us. Contacted the italian support they told is a graphic bug, and in the database it results the right amount. I tried to get in with a secondary char where i had less than 400 certs, tried to unlock last armor (1000 certs) and it works! So IT'S NOT a graphic bug. P.S. The unlock i did with this certs was to test the support answer. I witness this on the forum in almost real time to avoid ban or grief/exploit accusations...
I have received no cert refund, though I have the AV turret purchased 3 times, and some lightning cannons at least. These do not count..?
I was concerned for a moment that I had experienced a massive glitched that would be viewed as hacking. I've gotten like 3300 certs on multiple characters. if it's the certification grant that they spoke of for the Duplicate purchases, that's cool. but I was never expecting it to be that much my exact words were "what in the flying f***?!!" and then I rushed to create a cautionary support ticket, but I stopped when I saw this thread.
Thnx for answer! Anyway, despite i spend lots of money in PS, the certs i got are waaaay too much despite all the refunds i sould get. Pls someone dig into it and let me know if i can play with free mind and spirit. Now, i'm almost forced to spend those certs, because i heard the cert cap is 10k, and ill get only exp and no certs while playing. I'm pretty scared to take actions, and i hope my char is safe from any issue or accusation... I hope you understand. A very happy customer and player of PS2
So instead of refunding SC, which should be the proper and fair way to do this, they chose to refund in terms of certs? How is this different from pay2win? If I knew they were going to do it like this I would have bought tons of duplicate items. $2.3 for 1000certs that require 10-40hrs of gameplay seems like a fair trade.
Well that's nice of SOE but I only bought weapons with SC for my main character, so no duplicate investments on alt-characters. Still, I got around 3400 certs transferred to all my characters. Just saying, don't mind this of course
Seems to me they screwed something in the database while "optimizing" it but said like "meh **** it, let's just say it's a gift"
I just received a similar note from a ticket i submitted. I must say for all the flak these guys cop from self entitled whiners and bratty twerps, from my experience all my dealings with them (tickets etc) i have received nothing but top quality service. I was just glad to have the weapons back on the characters i deleted and remade but this is just amazing. Top Notch SOE Bravo chaps. Sincerely, One Very Satisfied Customer.
Well, I spend only 70 dollars in this game - seems like not enough to receive that gift. RadarX closed the other thread, because its "not a bug". He did that right after Durandal reported to have only one character and received 9000 certs. EDIT: I meant the other thread in the [BUG] section about the 37k certs.
That is correct, I only have one character..but i submitted a ticket after GU06 when there were character rollbacks...so maybe it was compensation for that, I have a character on the test realm tho so who knows But, after RadarX closed the forum with "THIS IS NOT A BUG SPEND THEM" thing i just spent them
Yes, I would have spend them right away. Without even checking back for the forums. I would have finally unlock some 4th and 5th level stuff. But oh, well... I still have the VR training area, right?
