Except , when you pick a cartel " Jobs" are given to you Via the car radio.
I believe this is essential for advancement in the new zone.
I worked 10 jobs in a row and gained 1000 rep for all cartels in my first daily quest for example.
The W button is a little speed sensitive, if you learn how to feather the button , you can go slow, even with the big engine.

I guess it’s good that cartel reps are pretty meaningless then, because yeah, I’d rather stick to my ground mounts.

I dont know, I think the rep vendor has gear, but alas , it was all red to me, so I did not look seriously at it yet.
Best guess, like undermine adventurer gear.

You can still do jobs and stuff with your normal ground mounts you just have to talk to Nanny Talullah and get the item, that’s legit an option.

…didn’t they? I certainly had one. Do you mean you were hoping for more?

Can we please rebind the keys? Why do I need to use “6” to get off it after 20 years of another bind?
Any plans to revisit the drifting implemention and add more options to it? Having it required turning the camera + hitting the jump button feels… weird.
A dedicated drift input would be appreciated.

Yes but it’s much more efficient to get them automatically from the radio, a green arrow appears over your car and guides you to each job, I did 10 jobs in like 20 minutes with this formula.
So far, i am an awful driver and I hit everything, but I managed to navigate with the green arrow, just fine.

I see and I assumed it would work same way with normal mounts but if not that’s something they clearly should fix.

Me and my Trusty Magic Rooster Egg 
get around Undermine quite easily now …and I can run though water puddles and not get dismounted like the dumb car does…

This is a really nice QoL inclusion. I’m surprised it was put in at the beginning and wasn’t the result of months of players begging for an alternative.

It controls better when you hit auto run, it goes into like a cruise control.

D.R.I.V.E. simply does not work well on gamepad. when I press the keybind for jump, which normally is spacebar but is a button on my gamepad, it just jumps and does not drift. This is because the analog stick is also for moving forward and backward as well as turning. I can turn at an angle but drifting does not work at all. I have tested the drift on keyboard and it works fine. Please fix the gamepad functionality for this feature please!

Maybe. I can just do other quests and take longer to get the rep though. There isn’t anything in the renown track that is mandatory.
I read elsewhere that there is a slower engine. I will probably switch to that. I don’t care about absolute speed or “races” in the game.

Protip: Don’t hold forward while drift turning unless you wanna slide off the road. Only use the boost with straight-aways.

This new system is a product of a dev team that doesn’t have any idea what they’re doing with the game. This patch just feels like they took a bunch of ideas from other popular games and just shoved them into this new zone.

Fellow pad player here, DRIVE is pretty crappy on it

Can you gold time races with this? If not then its not a solution. Dragon riding you could get gold off of skill and the system was smooth and didn’t glitch out when trying to do things like skyward accent compared to drifting and jumping. If you need a specific tune for gold medals then you should be honest and let us know what’s expected.

I don’t think you need to use D.R.I.V.E. for the jobs at all. I haven’t used it yet myself, but I’m assuming the non-D.R.I.V.E. option functions similarly, in that it’s something you toggle on and off. While it’s on, you get the jobs and while it’s off, you don’t. It’s just that the toggle’s either in the car or it’s in your inventory, depending on your preference.
