Controller support?

People do enjoy the game on controller using Steam Input or similar tools, but there is no controller support from the game and the devs have zero interest in controllers.

Do you have steam controller?

[Tyrian Mollusk]

No, my partner and I play on Xbox 360 controllers.

Even if we could find a way to program your Xbox 360, it would be insufficient to cover for so many different buttons requirement with this GW2 game. You need steam controller. I have recently completed a full mapping of as much keys functionalities to the steam controller as possible.

Steam controller is not for everyone though because you need to get used to not having a right joystick.

I wasn't asking how to play on controller. We have thousands of hours playing GW2 on our 360 controllers, and have no "need" for a discontinued Steam Controller.

Ooo, so you must have so much more than my "insufficient", "even if we could find a way" 360 controller with only inputs for 20 emotes, a few quick text chat lines, all novelties, equipment and build swaps, mentor mode, direct access to all 9 mounts, targeting, fishing, skiff, jade bot waypoint, and and all the regular gameplay keys plus special action.

I mean, you mapped "as much as possible", so my insufficient 360 controller is a pretty low bar, and you're probably way ahead of me on the specialized map mode and dialog/prompt shortcuts that are on my current todo list.

Tyrian, the starting post was from Marss who was asking if there was controller support. I thought I was communicating with Marss all this time until you said you were not asking how to play on controller. Firstly, my responses said nothing about how to play on controller. It was about whether controller like xbox360 can meet all the so many keys requirement of GW2.

You sounds like you are upset at something but I am not sure what. This is not a competition between xbox360 and steam controller. If you thing xbox360 is good enough, then good for you.

Which it easily can. If you've used Steam Input--or a keyboard--you ought to at least know what it can do with shift buttons, and not drop patently false foolishness about needing a steam controller to handle the game.

You are obviously upset about something. Cheer up mate.

Why you so upset Tyrian ? Atleast explain why you so mad. There is no reason to...

[Tyrian Mollusk]

I'm not 'mad'. I'm weary of how people's lack of simple imagination always translates to looking down on controllers. It's even weirder from someone that's used Steam Input any, let alone the claim of having "completed a full mapping of as much keys functionalities to the steam controller as possible".

There's no reason to be telling someone they need to get a Steam Controller (which isn't even for sale anymore) or casting shade at other types of standard controllers, especially when we know people play GW2 on a number of normal, readily available controllers.
