Controller support is SO good

Seriously, if you’re still using the keyboard or whining about WASD then you are tonally missing out. It has made playing way more fun once I finally picked the controller up off the desk after five days of keyboarding lol.

Like WoW, you just touch a controller stick and the UI switches completely into controller mode. Feels just like being on the XBOX. Movement is fluid and effort free, skills are all bound to the logical things, and all the other UI actions are there at a touch.

Just effortlessly cruising around.

AAAGH YUCK! I STEPPED IN ANOTHER HORSE!

The game is just BETTER in controller mode. Highly recommended. Your hands and wrists will thank you too.

Happy for you. Now they just need to make the mouse/keyboard UI and controls just as good!

Controller sounds fine for a class like Barbarian but hella awkward as a Rogue or Sorceress.

WASD just seems like the best of both worlds where you get mechanically superior movement while keeping the better precision for ranged classes.

Been playing the beta only with a PS5 pad and it’s so much better than playing it with KBM. Only switching to KBM for chat KEKW.

Yes! WASD support would be awesome!

And again, please don’t nerf or change controller UI/gameplay in any negative way.

However, keyboard/mouse need a UI/gameplay experience turned specifically for that keyboard/mouse, instead of just a poorly adapted UI/gameplay experience copied from the controller side.

WASD please. I’m not playing a controller. I want mouse wheel force move and WASD.

It’s because it’s a console game ported over to PC, i actually started using the controller as well :smiley: autotarget and stuff like that makes it really smooth.

I play Sorcerer using a controller and there are zero drawbacks.

Personally, I would love WASD but controller is fine for now.

Lightning melee Sorc was a ton of fun with controller, all this dodging around. Much more fun then Hydra

I didn’t enjoy Rogue until I switched to the controller.

Being able to attack on the move with controller is great. Makes click to move the same as click to attack feel wrong.

I do like the controller, aside from placement abilities. However, I’d probably use the keyboard more if it had fewer hard coded keybinds.

While i agree controller is good the only reason keyboard is crap is due to the lack of WASD, click to move is fine in a game like league of legends but here its an outdated relic.

Add wasd movement options and pc keyboard will be the only way to play at high levels.

Serious question, for a caster/ranged class, how do you target spells/skills using a controller?

Also, do you think using the controller in the left hand for movement and mouse with 6 bindable keys in right is doable?

why post in the PC forums if you only play on PS5?

16

Because I’m playing on PC?

What are you talking about? Where did I say I played on any console? I don’t even own one…

Using a controller the game auto targets things depending on the direction your pointing the joystick. Pretty fun.
