Unplayable with a controller

[Roman Adler]

just saying, they should label it as a no-controller game. I cant even open the inventory with a controller, its just for walking and attacking, for everything else you'll need a keyboard and a mouse.

[Dredd]

Not true at all.

Almost everything has a keybind (Left on the D-pad opens the inventory )

I am playing it with a controller and while yes it is suboptimal for some things like you mention you can indeed use the cursor, controller by the right stick and press down on the stick to open menus via the bottom right of the screen.

I have my KB close by so I can just tap on the kb shortcuts however.

Yes, I noted the mouse simulation on the right thumb of course, but thats not the kind of controller support I expect in 2022.
I expected some ARPG fun like Diablo3 but its just too PCish for my taste perhaps.

left on the dpad, damn, could be that I didnt try this, the game kept saying "i for inventory" and I've tried start and options and all the normal buttons. I was so annoyed I've already deleted it.

MMORPGs are not supposed to be played on controller.

[Actionhanz]

you can bind almost everything to your controller, you just have to use your brain and open the settings.... i played this game for almost 200 hours by now with 90% controller 10% mouse.

I could give you tons of tips for a smooth controller experience but because of your ♥♥♥♥♥♥ whiney post i wont :)

Are you actually complaining that a PC game is too "PCish"? Pathetic.

I honestly think the funciton of a controller in this game is great, you can map everything you wanted to do easily. But has anyone been running into controller literally crashing every 30 minutes in the game? It started about 2 weeks ago, and gotten really bad this week!

[Kiru]

Controller definitely won't crash the game.

And honestly, most of the combat gameplay is easier/better with a controller, like it is with all character action games in third person. Clicking for movement is nowhere near as precise and smooth as using an analogue stick. One of the best movement patterns is circling around the boss. Mouse control doesn't even allow this in any way other than mass clicking it in a circle, and even then it's not smooth. You are also faster to adapt to what a boss does, as tilting the analogue stick into a different direction doesn't take as much time as moving the entire mouse and clicking. Of course, it may not be a lot, but it helps.

The only issue is stuff that you normally have to aim with an "aoe field". There's an auto aim function, that however is incredibly arbitrary and doesn't work very well. That said, this function works instantly, so that is an advantage. +- 0 in the end.
On the one hand, it sometimes aims at an enemy you really don't want to aim at (i.e. something further away while 10 enemies hack on you). On the other hand it will NEVER miss, is instant and can even quickly aim at stuff you haven't even realized is there yet.

I use it when i need to stand up for a while. Remove the aim at cursor setting, it helps

I use a controller and had minor issues. Some dungeon boss fights, certain buttons won't work ie LTB and LBB. It only happened for one day so could of been just a bug. I prefer controller support.

[cu spacecowboy]

why tf would even try a controller on a MMO on PC? are u braindamaged?

[ChackO]

Playing on controller since day 1, zero issues. Only thing I hate is the mouse emulation for targeting and how the cursor doesn't hide when using controller. Oh and how the on-screen keyboard pops-out every time I want to write something with my keyboard. It's ironic how the cursor doesn't hide with a controller and the on-screen keyboard pops everywhere even having a physical keyboard.
I'm using a DS4 with DS4Windows, but I just added L1+RStick to zoom in-out, that's it. Everything else is custom mapped in game.

This game should copy FFXIV's controller implementation. Yeah, copy it, don't change anything. FFXIV's controller is perfect.

Also, for the naysayers, games like this one play perfectly fine (sometimes better) with controller, specially if you're using a melee class. Simple fact: you don't need to get clickitty with everything, just move with the stick, adjust character's facing and press buttons.
Deathblade and Wardancer are a delight to play like this.

Who plays with a controller can use the chat?

Half of the people in my guild have never interacted with anyone in chat so I'm suspecting that's it kkkkk

i have developed pad-controlls for the steampad with the steam-controller-tool. a detailed descriiptions is in the discussions - sorry its in german... :S

https://steamcommunity.com/app/1599340/discussions/0/3185738755274879695/

The name of the configuration, wich u can import withe the controller-config-tool is "STEUERUNG für das STEAMPAD".
if the intrest is big enough i can try to translate it.

GOOD LOOT, HAVE FUN, STAY NICE TO EACH OTHER
