End Screen "Round Actions" is capped at 65,535 pts. Is it a Developer Error?

While doing a long round of playtime, and the end I found interesting that the maximum XP value for the "Round Actions" is 65,535 pts (check attachments for PoC), otherwise known in Software and Game Development as the Unsigned Integer16 Max Value. 


Therefore, this limit could be in place by developer error...

Is it intended to be capped to that specific value or did I just found a flaw?

I'm raising this question, because it is the second time that I see that specific value at the End Screen, and as a SDE I immediately recognize it.

    @ATFGunrI think the kids refer to it as farming.

    Farming is cool, full XP. Bots in Solo or Coop? Hell no, no XP.

    @AdamonicYes farming indeed haha, Neither of those options, it was Caspian Border with Air Supperiority (3 flags) and just transport heli configuration.

    I saw one server with this mode on Friday, and decided to stick around.

    I was baffled to see that I leveled up in 2 matches (I was S052 all legit XP before this event) and basically I played almost 10 hours a day from Friday - Sunday and got to S091

    The only thing that limited the farm was that with this event, I was reaching the 1.5M XP cap per day pretty quick. (each round took 15 mins), so basically I only had to do 15 rounds to get to the limit. Of course, not right one after the other, because its very tiring unless you're gifted the position as a passenger on a heli, then you just have to be there and enjoy haha

    @SrN3MESiS that is seriously impressive without any kills, resupplies, or revives.

    I hit 72K total on one round, but it was a full Conquest match that went down to the wire.

    @AdamonicYeah, quite the XP bump haha. I think there are still some servers active right now, but probably you'll only get 50k - 60k total XP each round.

    If you join one, you'll see how everyone is helping each other (because this type of farm requires both enemies and allies: 1) Not killing each other. 2) Going round and round capturing flags) and thanking the pilots for the rides. Probably the most united I've ever seen this community lmfao

    @Adamonic

    - As gunner yes, you can spot but it doesn't make a lot of difference, since the whole point of the server is NOT to kill.

    - As a Squad Leader, you can make Capture Orders, which will get you more points once completed (think it is 500XP per order completed, and multiply this by aprox. 15 captured flags per minute and its a whole new XP generator) (if your whole squad is in the same heli with you).

    - You can go as Rao and hack the other enemy helis, since you're close to them and without visual interference.

    Thing is, that due to this "Round Actions" limit there's only so much you can do before you reach it.

    That's why I created this thread.
