Guild Wars 2

I would love to be able to play this game with a controller.. ( Like with Logitech Wireless Gamepad F710. )

I’m sure I’m not the only one.

Do it Arenanet! ^^

(Hope this is the right place to put this topic, I didn’t see a “Suggestions” discussion..)

There is software like JoyToKey that allows you to configure your controller input to be recognised as keystrokes, and the analog stick to serve as the mouse. It’s pretty simple to set up. I don’t know if it falls under acceptable use of third party software, but if anything, I’d say it’s more of a handicap than a help. You can’t really replace the mouse as a peripheral device when it comes to managing your camera and placing AOEs.

Native controller support, as well as alternate control schemes/options, would be more than welcome.

There are two ‘mods’ – Combat Mode and Immersive Combat Hud (I think?) – that highlight how well GW2 can play as such. One of the ‘main’ issues with them is that they requires the game to automatically target an enemy on keypress, so using leaps as an escape mechanic near enemies is a no-go.
