controller support

[jeremybro30]

Why would anyone make a new Star Wars game without controller support? What in the actual &%$$##^&& is wrong with people?

How...
... how is this game "new"?

For one this is not a new game ..

My guy, playing MMORPGs on a controller sucks.

I play this on a controller.

It requires extensive in-game key remapping and use of Steam Controller Profile emulation, but it works well.

Before this was on Steam, I used Xpadder as far back as 2014.

That all having been said, the core interface and game mechanics aren't inherently set up for controller-style inputs a la FF14, BDO, DCUO, or TERA. The biggest hitch is healing; unlike the aforementioned titles which either drop templates for the group or auto-target specific roles/HP thresholds, you have to constantly be wrestling with the horrors of tab-targeting. This gets frantic in larger group content.

I would love to see native controller support implemented; despite what naysayers like @Delta Sierra may claim, it's not only possible to play MMOs on a controller, but potentially optimal. The titles mentioned previously prove this. Furthermore, it would open up the possibility of a (very) belated console release, which tends to serve as a massive injection of playerbase population--something SWTOR could use.

However, I doubt we'll see any of this ever for the same reason we're haven't revisions or outstanding bug or script fixes to original content. It's not really something they can sell, and at this point the current team may not have the expertise required.

So if you want it, you have to do what I did--build it yourself.

New...?

[doomofraven]

Um, friend, this game is 12 years old...

[Zero McDol]

The release date clearly says -> 2011.

i also play it on controller really awesome just select in steam controller community swtorista config download these files and you're set

Keybinds for ingame you have to paste this in the Keybinds folder so you can select it in game

And the fitting ui this file has to be dropped in the GUIprofile folder

Couldn't get the ps5 dualsense to work with the game, even with steam inputs. Could have sworn last year when I tried it it was partially functional, but that was probably the non steam version of the game.

People playing mmorpg's with controllers should get permabanned.

God forbid OP learns how to use keybinds.

BTW, game came out in 2011... its not new and controllers in MMO's suck.
