Guild Wars 2

Been a while since I even tested this, but can you play GW2 with a gamepad? I prefer sitting back and enjoying GW2 with some music on, nad just taking my time. My computer is connected to a 40" TV, and I got a sofa right here, so it would be awesome if I could just lay down with a gamepad and play GW2 all day.

You can, it’s not native, but you can make it work with third-party applications. I had it set up for my wife for a little bit and checked it out. I personally didn’t much care for it. However, with the action camera it might be more feasible than it was.

I followed this thread: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/players/Xbox-360-controller-and-Guild-Wars-2-merged/first
People were using an xbox controller, which is what I used. But I am sure there are some other xpadder like programs that you could use that essentially to do same thing. You’d have to find one that works with your particular gamepad.

A third-party solution works, but it’s too much trouble for me. It never really works all that well. I can play GW2 with the Oculus Rift if I wanted to, but because GW2 doesn’t support it natively, the result is a bit hit and miss. (even if we ignore the fact GW2 doesn’t have a decent first-person mode.) A native support for gamepads would be much appreciated.

Xbox controller here, and Xpadder.

And a bit of keyboard and mouse.
