Is there anyway to "refund" certs?

[Dabs McCoy]

From what I know about Planetside 2, early battle ranks are full of grinding. It took me along time to get 1000 certs. I decided to buy the Anti-vehicle MANA turret because hey, it looked cool, I heard its a good weapon to get certs, and when I tried it in VR training, it seemed like an overall upgrade to the regular anti-infantry turret. Now that i've bought it though, I hate it... So now bam, 1000 certs, down the drain. So, what im trying to say is there a way to refund weapons and stuff? Because i really hate this turret. I could've spent it on something better D:

There isn't a single "cert maker" in the game, and chances are you'll always experience buyers remorse.

That being said, keep the turret (not that you could get rid of it), and play engineer for a while, you might get some mileage out of it.

Overall this however reminds me of the old suggestion for people to invest their first certs into an AMS for their Sunderer, believing it would make people a lot of Certs. In truth, most things you spend your certs on, will only give you a marginal improvement and it is almost always a better idea of improving class skills and abilities over saving up big money to buy some special weapon.

AV turret is awesome. You just have to get the hang of it, also it's purely situational. It's mostly for shooting vehicles, where the other is for soft targets. (A well placed AI turret can be vital/deadly and if you catch the enemy in a choke point you can rack up some serious xp)

Investing in medic/engineer specializations is a realtively easy way to gain certs as well. If you like vehicles engineer might be the way to go. If you find yourself more a boots on the ground type then go medic. (The medic regeneration field is great for passive cert gain and only costs 30 or 50, I forget which.)

Also, Ishan makes a valid point that there is no magic cert grinding weapon/mod/vehicle. The best thing to to is find one or two classes you like and beef up you abilities/defense/etc...

Same for me. I spent about 20-30hrs when i started to get 1000 certs and i bought the ns-7 PDW and then about 2 days later they put out the fresh meat starter pack, which i could spent $0.99 to get it along with a camo and a boosts. -_-

yes, during the game (only once per character) you may revive an option come up on your screen saying ''weldone youve earned yourself a place among the warriors of auraxis blah blah blah'' i gives you the choice to refund all certs youve spent on that charaacter

Max rank of Sunderer Stealth unlocks the cloak.

There is a refund option going on at lvl 15 for new players. Apart from that go to koltyr or VR if u wanna try things before you buy.

Wow... this must be some super secret Vanu Reviving Technology... this Post now has been double Necroed.

Anyway... just play the Game with your preffered Class... the Certs will roll in anyway.
