Can we have controller support?

[jdrs]

Hello devs. I was wondering if you could make this game support gamepads, specifically xbox 360 controller (it's what I use). I really think this game will play well with a controller considering the style of its gameplay. I'm willing to wait. I just want to know if you have plans to implement it. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

This is not a new game, as it first started it's closed beta back in 2008. Then how would controllers even work with a game like this? It's one thing if there's no time limit for you to click around, and sort out your moves, but there is, and as you get further, you'll feel more pressed for time. I just can't see controllers working for something like this.

You can use an authotkey script to make the controller do mouse/keyboard inputs.

Idk if they plan on controller support or not, but on the beta server, they have moving around controller friendly (holding down an arrow key to move instead of having to click to move)

And this is no WOW or FFXI... That you could play with a controller but because of the 300 skills you have makes almost insane..

Here we got what? 20 skills at most? (5 each element, 5 actives)~ done
a xbox controller has

lets say, you use one stick for movement, you will move only one square at time, and the dpa for direction

Movement and direction done

Then you have 4 Buttons, 4 triggers

Each trigger modify the 4 main button, giving you access to 20 different buttons or skills...
eg.

ABXY (unmod) = (Bar 1) 1 2 3 4
ABXY + L1 = (Bar 1) 5 6 7 8
ABXY + L2 = (Bar 2) 1 2 3 4
ABXY + R1 = (Bar 2) 5 6 7 8
ABXY + R2 = (Bar 3) 1 2 3 4

Now we can move, change direction, and use every single skill any character can have

The other Stick we can use as mouse like for targeting spells...

Start and select, one bring the menu (start)
select... can... do whatever I can pretty much play the game now!!

its not a replacement, but agument to current controls, we will use mouse/keyboard for chat, and clicking stuff and distributing points..

its not so hard

Any updates on what the keyboard commands are to walk around and stuff?
