In the bit you quoted earlier from Eric had:

*THIS BONUS DOES NOT STACK WITH RESTED EXPERIENCE

Also in the game, when you hover over the experience bar, it says "During this time rest experience will not be applied or consumed."

Seems like they have made it pretty clear that rested XP had no impact during double XP periods. Also, it is worth bearing in mind that rested XP caps at +1 level of XP. No way are you going to run KDY more than a couple of times and not burn through all your rested XP. Double XP is only capped by the number of hours you play.

Seems there is a problem pre 55 (I know that you can complete the Weekly Searching For Allies at 55 by just queueing for tacticals).
I was able to complete the Searching for Allies weekly just doing KDY (though queueing for everything).

that seems definitely off.

becasue I swear to you, I got it completed on 2 different characters today in their mid 20ties. turning in weekly searching for allies was a huge chunk of xp for them and I know I didn't complete it earlier in a week, becasue I deliberately didn't even pick it up from a terminal until after double xp weekend started, becasue I didn't want to turn it in for regular amount of xp by accident.

I would file a bug report, seriously. this does not seem like working as intended situation.

Close topic. Drive yards gives double xp. It does not stack with rested.

and I just tested a theory by queuing ONLY for Kyat drives. lvl 34 (lvl 35 at the end) powertech. weekly counted. so if it doesn't count for you, something is very off and bug report should be filed

Also worth noting: we are able to pick up the level 55 tactical FP weekly mission well before reaching level 55. I don't think this is intentional, but that's beside the point. If you do KDY 5 times, you can turn this mission in for some seriously good XP (I got 120,000 at level 44).

those numbers in a Eric's post are all off. and/or experience in a world is all off?

leveling my 37 powertech on Hoth. killing lvl 37 Talz.

regular talz gives me upper 500 xp. strong Talz give me 1700ish. elites give around 3k. and so on.

go into Kyat Drives? half that. sounds like its STILL giving regular not rested xp. at this point, the only reason I'm doing it once a day is because of the double initial quest turn in. one for the random tactical and one for KDY specifically. that and planetary coms. otherwise, I'm literally better off just grinding random mobs on a planet of my level.

Eric's first post is solo Kuat Drives, not party xp. Double XP is basically the same as Rested XP for KDY(except for the quest xp, which is doubled)

*EDIT

By off, do you mean off as in compared to what's in game, or off in relation to each other? Because they're perfectly consistent in relation to each other.
