We should not be locking any of the core modified and unmodified buttons. I should be able to remove auto attacks from the keybinds. Its locked to X unmodified. Did you guys even play with consoleport before you built your own? I commend the effort. But this is absolutely maddening. Outside of the jump keybinds, the other three XYB are the most easily accessed keybinds, used by most consoleport users for the most used skills…but mines locked to auto attack, the inspect function, and the back button. Auto attack shouldn’t be on there at all, and the other two should be restricted to certain times, like when you are on top of a corpse, X changes to “skinning”, or if no one around to interact with, it should be unbound for a skill. If you need the interact button to be on the controller all the time, make it the left trigger, so when there’s something you can interact with you tap left trigger to pull up the menu. I’m so frustrated I can’t swap keybinds around. Not quite unplayable, but not good for sure.
i wanted to use controller but the keybindings looked hella jank
i want to be able to remap key bindings but i dont understand why theres like 4 different sets of axyz and like 4 directional pads it looked like triggers change the axyz buttons but i dont want it to work that way i want to map my keys where ever i want
So…I promise you it’s not that bad. IMO and experience, controllers (when they let you map) is far easier than a huge keyboard. Unless you use 50 macros…you learn the modifiers quite quickly. And the game does a good job at making things just work overall. I personally use a mouse next to me, but other than locking keybinds, blizz did a really good job of making it so I might not even need a mouse with the game. Its much easier than consoleport to setup
This is the greatest issue present
Yes this is frustrating to me that I cannot remap XABY keys. I am very used to playing with console port.
Was worried about their take on controllers, looks like I will be installing console port.
Just started using a controller for the first time and i ran into this. I am sure it will get changed but its one of those things where why wasn’t it done already. Hopefully they will change it soon
I 100% agree that we should be allowed to remap every single button otherwise we would actually have to download ConsolePort or some other addon. That goes against their philosophy of not wanting to rely on third party addons. Please dear Blizzard change this!
Very disappointing to hear. I assumed they took inspiration from the ConsolePort adddon and built upon it, not remove basic functionality that made it great.
I tried console port a few months ago but ultimately failed to get it up and running. I found it was too complicated to set up, keybinding was a nightmare, and i just couldn’t get the NPC UI interaction to function. It got to be so frustrating (user error I’m sure) that I ultimately gave up. So, I’ll give credit where credit is due: the fact that there is no setup required, just plug and play was huge for me. I also completely agree that they MUST allow us to rebind a b x y. Ridiculous to lock them permanently - however I do suspect they did that intentionally for the alpha release to prevent idiots like me from soft locking themselves from being able to play the game by stupidly unbinding those keys. I think the logic is backwards and they’re instead making people stop using the controller from a different frustration.. but I kind of understand what the logic probably was. Regardless, blizzard please at the very least give an OPTION to toggle off the locked buttons - those are the most important buttons to be able to press period, and all 4 of them are locked. No bueno.
I’m sorry brother. After playing with it, I disagree. They cannot change the unmodified abyx. It NEEDS to be this way based on what they’re trying to do with it. They need B to always be the escape button. The need A to always be the jump button. They need Y to always be the ‘inspect’ or ‘search’ function (it brings up options for your targets). And they need X to always be the interact button, or auto attack button depending.
Coming from trying console port over and over, blizzard has done a fantastic job implementing their controller support. It’s miles beyond when it comes to easy to understand / to bind keys to where you want ect. I’m excited to see the finished product.
But a couple things;
Please let us rebind everything, even the jump / auto attack ect. There’s also a couple specific examples of where we need more options, such as druid forms. Currently it seems you can only bind the generic shapeshift, which then opens ANOTHER wheel to pick the form. Please separate out each form as well.
Also while I’m sure it’s known I still need to write down that currently any sort of customization with edit mode in controller mode breaks and doesn’t work at all. And while I swear I found a way the other day to get to the ‘search’ list button at the top right to pick out specific vendors, I can’t figure that out so either there’s no way or I’m missing it. Would be easiest to add the option to get to the minimap through holding down right button + left button + another button.
And here I thought it was a bug. Not being able to remap XYBA has put me in a bad mood, so now I opted to not use the controller support and keybinded as much as could to resemble consoleport settings. Hell, in gamepad mode blizzard doesn’t even allow you to change anything in edit mode either. Im hoping consoleport will have support on forever.
Yeah. I think blizzard is trying to do something quite different from consoleport. Consoleport never solved all of the issues with going fully mouse free. Blizz developers have been able to. I keep discovering more about the system, it seems to work quite a bit better too. But hopefully consoleport stays for those who want it
I agree with OP. Also let me use my steam deck trackpad to access a mouse curser at all times. The delay to bring up the curser is really frustrating. With console port I use the SD trackpad for the curser all the time while running in PVP and just to no have to scroll through menus. Being able to unbind all the available buttons and have constant access to my curser would make this a way better IMO.
