if you wanna play it with a controller you can, there's people who still play it with a controller but not many, however you'll struggle a bit when it comes to aiming and casting skills etc, mostly because this game is meant to be played with a mouse and keyboard.

I thought the game had full controller support?
Whats missing from it?

Although I use a controller for many different games, I have never actually tried one for Lost Ark. But I do have a guy in my guild who claims to use a controller and seems to have no issues with it. Apparently typing tests some bosses have even switch to controller symbols.

well one would assume that they did that over a year, but then again you can give it a try and see if it's better for you or not.

I tried the game out at launch and absolutely hated the controls. For reference, I’ve played WoW and Guild Wars 1/2 with a controller using 3rd party apps and they played way smoother.

I gave Lost Ark another try recently after reading that the game had slowly improved controller support since launch. Still highly recommend changing the default controls, like “interact” being set to the A button instead of Left Stick down (what were they thinking??) and all attacks being bound to held triggers instead of bumpers, but overall it feels much better. A lot of the interface still wants you to move the cursor with right stick and drag/drop, but it works.

Auto targeting has a quirk where the cursor floats over enemies you attack then the cursor just sits there. It was a huge annoyance for me as a controller user. If it annoys you too, I recommend using AutoHideMouseCursor (https://www.softwareok.com/?Download=AutoHideMouseCursor). Set it to a quick interval and it will hide the cursor unless there’s input. I have it set up to launch on boot up and it works perfectly.
