D.R.I.V.E. is annoying and useless

The car is too wide and big and the city is too narrow and small. Its stupid easy to crash into things non stop and this system only works in a big open area. How did this get past PTR testing to live?

Simple solution is to not run into things while you D.R.I.V.E.

You can modify the car to got slower and easier to navigate, this option is unlocked by default.

I wish the arrow directing you on the jobs would ‘stick’ to the roads where possible - several times I’ve gone down a dead end following the arrow trying to find the next location.

Literally a skill issue. I have no problems at all controlling the car.

I just don’t like it in general, but I also don’t like dragonflying, so it goes in the bin with it lol

People who hate it also can’t sky ride.

Nah it’s just clunky for no reason. Sky riding is smooth and fun. Maybe I need to try the car in an open area though.

I wish i could have the map open, see past it, and drive at the same time. I’m not familiar with the layout of the undermine and every time i look at the map i crash into something. If i were familiar with the layout it would be great.

Ultimately i really love the concept and i hope we can bring it forward alongside skyriding. Was a huge fan of the roller beetle in GW2 and this is a more easy to use version of that.

It would be a fun way to incentivize using ground mounts without forcing it.

To be fair, I’m fine with sky riding but dislike Drive. Figuring out small things to make it better (slower speed made it worse for me personally), but overall not a fan.

I can skyride just fine, but this…this aint it. Skyriding doesnt have obstacles to crash into.

Yeah I tried that yesterday I got 5 done and for some reason Number 6 I right on top of spot it was suppose to be in and guess what it wasn’t freaking there and I couldn’t find it at all…even turn off all addons …still wasn’t showing for me so I had to turn off that silly quest line…get rid of that damn huge arrow…

Level 10, I find it hard to believe you’ve driven at all.

I love skyriding and never had issues with it and I dislike the DRIVE system.

im pretty sure that blizzard got lots of negative feedback regarding DRIVE in the PTR testing but didn’t make any changes in response to it.

I, personally can’t stand the D.R.I.V.E. I got nauseous as heck and had to take motion sickness meds and lay down for an hour to keep from throwing up.

There’s certainly a learning curve to it, but I really enjoy driving. I started off using the slowest engine just because I found the speed overwhelming but now? Went on to Gold all the races and wanting to get the rep to get the fastest engine possible.

Drifting is a huge part, and the grip tires really help with that I found. You can drift in a straight line and take turns real sharp when you have to.

Just like Sky riding …folks are getting physically sick with DRIVE car motion …when will they ever learn to stick with old tried and true transportation like we already had before this mess of flying and ground mount crap…
