Do you play normal during 2x xp or furiously farm certs?

    I tend to play vaguely normally, but I do tend to run around between major fights a lot more than normal.

    Normal, but if anything I'm more spendy on stuff. Double xp is when I feel more ok about topping off the 500/1000 cert purchases. At least if I'm playing for any large length of time.

    Hehe. Same here. :D

    It seems harder to find a non-zergfest during double XP events though, and lag is always much worse too. I think creates a bit of a vicious circle, as infantry k:d drops towards 1:1*, players start to stay in their vehicles.

    *As lag worsens, I've noticed every enemy infantry you bump into results in you both killing each other.

    I usually activate a boost and save certs the whole weekend until its over. Then, I go on a shopping spree :D

    This is from one of the last double XP weekends. I wrapped it up with nearly 7500 certs.

    Unfortunately, this weekend, the 4th Factioners have ruined it for me. I wont play NC if we have over 37% population. Its just not fun to roflstomp [almost] every base. When there arent as many enemies as allies, Xp is fewer and further between also. :(

    Ooooh, that's why when I played 20 minutes this morning I had like 50 certs with only +37% XP of underpop...

    I used to play cert farming with UBGL and repair sunderer all the time. Now I lost interest in that and the former thing has got so much nerf.

    I play normally. So yeah, farming furiously.

    exactly the same here

    i buy 1000 cert upgrades until the 2x bonus is over

    I buy most weapons with SC so I don't really have much of a reason to try and farm certs even during 2x XP.
