Controller Support

I am currently using a mapping software to use a controller with WoW. It’s pretty good, but I’d love it if Blizzard developed a native version. You could only bind 4-6 spells to use regularly, but that’s fine when you are just casually questing. This is especially true for Classic where you don’t need such a large plethora of spells for chill gaming.

That will become available when Retail is ported to console

It’s actually jumping straight to mobile.

Controller support will be implemented for World of Warcraft: Immortal, coming late 2021.

Don’t you guys have phones.

Petition to make you at least read 500 posts before posting please

Problem is, there are enough people out there who like to play WoW with a controller (god, why?) that this post seems legit.

I remember many years ago a post being made to guide other people how to do it.

I can’t possibly imagine why anyone would play this game with a controller, but whatever. It’s like taking keyboard turning and dialing it up to 11.

Sorry, I can’t play the game on a weenie mobile screen.
It stinks getting old"…

go to largest hot topic, press middle mouse, drag down.

Still more effort than I’m sure half these trolls would want to put in to make their ‘jokes’

Yeah I guess so

For the most part, I’d think it’s doable in modern since the classes are so pared down. I’m not gonna knock anyone’s preferred playstyle.

I can’t see it ending well in classic though.

Do you think it will release on console or mobile first? Or perhaps concurrently?

I can see the benefit. For some people a controller is more physically comfortable and more intuitive to use than mouse and keyboard.

Final Fantasy 14 can handle 16 actions per 8 crossbars. lol

It isn’t the controller that’s the problem.

There’s this big stigma against using controllers but there are so many games out there with as much if not more complexity than WoW’s combat system that run fine using controllers. Like somebody else has already mentioned, the controller isn’t the problem. Phone touch screens though…yeah 100% agree that that is a big no no.

I’m looking forward to classes being pruned back to “Tap to kill” :slight_smile:
