However, as always, the community is better than the devs. Try this out:

So just because they have not put controller support in that gives you the right to call them crappy WOW just really shows exactly what kind of person you really are

The joystick (first iteration of a gamepad/controller) was used for gaming way before a mouse. Since the gamepad came first for gaming purposes it's not very smart to ridicule people for using gamepads on PC...

One more time, since reading is hard: noone said they were used for gaming. And next, because reading is STILL hard, let me quote myself from above:

DO NOTE: None of the above should be mis-construed as an argument against controllers. Controllers have an edge when a user desires ease of use, when they just want to kick back and relax and not be tied to the desk or have to deal with a more complex control scheme (or they prove invaluable to users who suffer from disabilities).

You're barking up the wrong tree as I happen to have no issue with controllers nor do I have any issue with a developer adding in controller support. Your little spreadsheet line however, where you try to dismiss and "poo-poo" on kbm and relegate it to, whatever in the hell you're trying to relegate it to, "spreadsheet status" - lol. K.

And..

..what, salty because your "kid" line didn't work on me since I was alive and well in the 80's so now you're trying to use some general "catch-all" line like "before you were born"? You got an age complex there where you absolutely need to feel superior via age for some weird reason?

Save it bub. I'm 42 years old and frankly, at this point in my life I could care less if you're older or not. It means squat. I've been around long enough to know what's what by this point.

42 year old man child that's hurt over my true m/kb statement,,,sad

Grow up.

Ya, there's a lot of man children out there who haven't got over the 90's and early 2000's yet

For some bizarre reason, he feels the need to copy and paste some variant of this text for all titles, and seems to make it his main purpose in life to get a rise out of internet strangers - no matter the discussion or the product. You can safely ignore him.

Now as an old gamer myself, the lack of controller support was the one thing keeping me from playing Wolcen. Sadly, the Steam controller and 3rd party profiles just don't cut it for this genre. I've spent many hours trying.

I was quite upset when it wasn't added upon release as was originally promised, but now I'm cautiously optimistic about today's announcement stating that it's finally being addressed. I guess we'll just have to wait and see. But the real question is: Once the Diablo 2 remake and Diablo 4 hits - both of which will have controller support right out of the box for all platforms - will we care enough about Wolcen to wait for them to finally implement what was promised years ago?

Truth hurts ah?. And then, why you call people trolls when for starters you dont have a clue what that means?.

And where i was banned from? why do you know me? these kids...

Sorry dude, someone that says that the lack of controller support is what keeps you from playing the game, this specific game that needs to be played with keyboard+mouse, is completely lost, and he completely need to play more videogames and stop relying on a gamepad (that it is the worst controller in the world) to play them to actually have a point of view.

You are and old gamer? please dont make me laugh. How do you expect people to take you seriously saying that when you claim that gamepad support is something important in this specific game? .. . . unbelievable.

Will be gamepad support a nice feature to add? of course. I never said the opposite. But to claim that it is important? oh come on. Specially keeping in mind how many things in this game need to be fixed? psst.

Anyone have a good Steam Controller config file they can share for this game? Wanted to try it out with an Nvidia Shield i just got.

Sacred 2, which released a decade ago on Xbox 360, proved thaat ARPGs are great with joysticks. I don´t even know why this is a discussion lol

Trust me here... I'm not sticking up for Wolcen Studios. If I could get refund, I would - but controller support is the least of the problems with Wolcen.

im one of the thousands of people who bought the game cause they promised controller support in a certain period of time. these arpgs are fantastic with a controller. i dont get the mind numbing brain dead argument that i shouldnt dare want to play one with it. FPS you could make a fair argument but almost any other game genre is great with a controller minus an rts. and even that can be done. if they never would have promised it, fine, but all the dumb crap they are adding when every single update has 50 people begging to play with a controller is a slap in the face.

I also prefer to use a controller but I dont have a problem using a M&K and dont you know that promises are made to be broken lol

Games like this, work better with controller, so fu** the haters and bullies, I only buy this game when gamepad support is available, the game is not that good too according to reviews.

Actually for the most part -diablo's- DO NOT work better with controller. You miss out with certain skill types. In particular Diablo's are frequently designed originally for KBM and will often feature skills that you won't get the full capabilities of on controller - specifically, BACK ROW type skills that let you target specific enemies.

On controller these types of skills don't tend to work out so well since the action is fast and it is difficult to target back row mobs as these games dont often let you cycle thru targets - due to controller limitations - leaving you stuck with only ever targeting what is directly in front of you and thus not able to fully utilize such skills better.

--

Can they work on controller? Sure. But often they aren't designed from the start for it. There is only ONE diablo (or diablo-like) that was ever designed with console in mind. D3. I suppose you could maybe make an argument for Gauntlet..

https://store.steampowered.com/app/258970/Gauntlet_Slayer_Edition/

..which is diablo-like in nature - tho a much more slimmed down version of it. That's it. All the rest usually adhere to the genre's PC roots.

Most games that are born fully in the knowledge of wanting to be a diablo-like tho and wanting to be competitive in the diablo-like sub-genre market tend to come from a PC-centric stance.

--

Be aware: this is not an "anti-controller" rant. I am all for controller being an option in most games and fully support such a thing being implemented. But I also happen to know a thing or 3 about this particular genre and this was merely a retort to your false assertion.

Also NOTE: my usage of the term "diablo-like". Not to be confused with "ARPG". Diablo's live in the genre known as ARPG's but they are their own sub-genre. A Diablo-like (sometimes referred to as a hack'n'slash or similar) IS NOT the same thing as a Skyrim. These are very, very different game types that just so happen to both be called ARPG's. There's a difference.

It doesnt matter what game it is, keyboard+mouse is the best controller, since the beginning of times. Experienced gamers will understand what im talking about. And yes, i also have three videoconsoles but i only play on them when my friends come and i dont have space in my bedroom. Ive been playing videogames, on pc and console since 30 years ago. I dont change keyboard+mouse for anything in the world. More reliable, more sensitive, more ergonomic, more everything. Just because you are used to gamepad cuz you didnt know anything else means games are better played with a gamepad.

That only shows ignorance in this matter. Specially if you cant understand why a game like wolcen NEEDS to be played with keyboard+mouse.

why not hook ur pc in ur liveing room ?

so you found this topic but still created a new one? Are you mentally challenged?

Great that you don't have a "problem" with it. Some people have physical limitations that prevent them from using mouse and keyboard for an extended period of time. How about looking outside your little bubble?

No I do not have a problem with and I am sorry you do

[Sion1023]

The OP is asking when this game will have controller support.
the answers are: K&M is better because bla bla bla bla, you're a loser if you play with gamepad bla bla bla My mum don't trust people that plays with controller bla bla bla I prefer K&M because I'm super super PRO and I have a certificate to prove it.
My god.... better to have both options and then you decide.... who ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ cares who plays with K&M or gamepad? and the answer is we all hope that it will have controller support soon.

It was THIS thread that made me NOT buy Wolcen and vow to never buy it and warn people away from it. Not only did the devs lie about including controller support (and many other issues) in order to get more sales, the community is about as toxic as it gets. All through the Wolcen threads, if anyone says anything negative or even constructive about the game and its current, unfinished, state, they are met with an immediate storm of personal attacks. Some of the posters on here need to examine, not only their fanatical devotion to a game which clearly does not live up to its promises, but also their condition as a human being. If someone has a negative stance on this game, feels like it is not worth the purchase price, or, heaven forbid, recommends another game instead, it is NOT a personal attack on YOU - it is their attempt at being helpful to another gamer who is looking to avoid wasting their time and money on something they will play for a couple hours before deciding to refund or wish they had chosen something else. If you like it, GREAT, leave a positive review, answer the negative feedback on here with constructive points as to WHY this game is worth all of the issues. There is ZERO need for personal attacks and it only tarnishes this game further.

Please add controller support
