i dont see difference in exp it seems it takes just as slow as in previous cycle it also shows 30% exp bonus for me on the faction not sure if its suppose to show 80% since 50% is from cycle bonus or that modifier is hidden but as i said its still really slow i would notice the difference if it was 50% bonus extra
The figure you see on the faction screen doesn’t include the cycle bonus. I think the 50% bonus is working as I got up to rank 5 by the time I got to monos (after getting a lift around the time I got my mastery).
