Honk your horn for moral support (optional)! This thread is dedicated to appreciating dynamic ground mounts!
Here is hoping they extend the mechanics on to the rest of our ground mounts! Should this occur, I’m sticking to that instead of skyriding!
…. For the majority of the time. I can’t easily give up my Pureblood Firehawk. She tries to burn me out of love. Good thing I’m made of metal. 
Honks horn!
Please, don’t let the future revamp of ground mounts look like DRIVE. Within 2 seconds of using drive I was stuck inside of a fence spinning around. It is also thematically inappropriate for 99% of the grounds mounts in the game. When they do get to reworking ground mounts I hope they go in a different direction.
Edit: the whole “vehicle” system should really just be retired
I don’t understand why Blizzard couldn’t just take the W with skyriding. Everybody loved it.
But here we are, still trying to make no flying zones work. They didn’t get it right this time, just like they didn’t get it right every other time they’ve tried in the past 20 years, but surely they will someday!
Blizzard just need to reconfigure the drift control schemes for DRIVE and I’ll be happy. It feels like nobody at the studio played a driving game before.
I’m sure in due time they’ll fix a few things. Its already proven many times over that anything that starts up in WoW doesn’t come without bugs.
Standard ground mounts need something, but I don’t think Drive is that something.
I really like the system after just about 10 minutes of playing around with it(the only issue I have with it is jump/drift being on the same keybind), but it’s absolutely not something I’d want to see expanded to other non-car ground mounts. The momentum based flight physics of Dragonriding were a little more generic as a concept and despite a few oddities like flying horses it doesn’t look nonsensical on most mounts.
Drive on the other hand is very specifically “this is a car” and the vast majority of ground mounts would look patently absurd with these mechanics. Outside of like… the goblin racial mounts, mechagon gearcycles, and the blazecyles(so basically just bike mounts) I can’t think of any other mounts off the top of my head that would work well in this system.
I agree, I like DRIVE but I can’t imagine people drifting around on their wolf and sabercat mounts.
I love the system. It would be so cool on all ground mounts. I know non vehicle drifting would be kinda weird but still cool.
I haven’t even got it yet, I’m not all that excited about it and its unlikely I will use it unless I absolutely have to - which I hope I won’t.
i love it dont use the mouse and use the drift for speed
its a little buggy when you bounce back 50 yards lol on impact
Exactly this. The new system is rather disappointing.
we was in a laggy zone today give it a few days and make a judgments
They got it right with Warlords and they got it right now. Folks are just overly obsessed about being able to fly everywhere at all times, and refuses to accept any kind of thematically strong area that works due to the absence of flying.
That’s literally all there is to it. Skyriding is amazing, and it allows for larger zones with more diversity. Now they wanted a ground-based zone where we can appreciate the size from the ground upwards (which is honestly kinda required to make sense of any in-game scale of a skyscraper. Which is the style that fits a goblin themed city the best.
But hey, I’m sure all of this is definitely better to discard and just let people fly everywhere. Why would theme matter in a video game when trying to build a thematic atmosphere after all.
Just have fun with the crazy stuff and if it is too crazy, try using the mode that slows down the D.R.I.V.E.; I haven’t tried using that yet, but maybe it’ll help ya’ if this ain’t something you are interested in.
Edit: I have now tested the Engine: Controlled Cruiser. If you aren’t a fan of the D.R.I.V.E. then just use this this one. It turns it into a faster mount with a boost functionality essentially.
DRIVE is horrible 
This should have been a Mario Kart racing type mini game where you use goblin / gnome gadgets instead of mushrooms etc. Still time to redeem it Blizzard!
Hoping they eventually add DRIVE at least to other vehicle mounts. I’d love to zip around on the Blaze Felcycle Sponsored by Mtn Dew™️
I gotta collect ALL the customizations for my car!
'EY! YOU! SLAP SOME PAINT ON THE HUD WOULD YA?!
I can not stand drive, just running into everything, really hard to maneuver.
I can’t wait to see this only ever used in Undermined. I seriously hope this never gets spread to other ground mounts, ever.
I’m getting stuck on a lot of things but it should get better as I learn the map. It’s a bit of fun but I’m a menace with drift.
I get what they were trying to go for. The zone is just too congested to enjoy it.
