Guild Wars 2

Hello GW2 Junkies!

I’m DreamyAbaddon.
I Have played GW2 since beta on the Xbox360 Controller using a software called “Xpadder”.

That’s right, I play GW2 execlusivly on the Xbox360 Controller with the layouts I have designed myself. This allows me to play my favorite game “GW2” on my personal preferences that suites me well since I Cannot play well on Keyboard & Mouse.

I Cannot say how thankful I truly am that GW2 DOESN’T have Controller Support, since I prefer to build my own controller schemes using my favorite software, Xpadder, instead.

[Quick Example on my layout]

(Right-Trigger) = Skill 1
(A) = skill 2
(X) = Skill 3
(Y) = Skill 4
(B) = Skill 5

(Left Bumper) while held down -> (A) = Skill 6
(Left Bumper) while held down -> (X) = Skill 7
(Left Bumper) while held down -> (Y) =Skill 8
(Left Bumper) while held down -> (B) = Skill 9
(Left Bumper) while held down -> (Right Trigger) =Skill 0

(L-Pad) = F1
(U-Pad) = F2
(R-Pad) = F3
(D-Pad) = F4

etc.

Additionally:
If ArenaNet Ever decides to (add) Controller Support in the future for GW2,
PLEASE Allow us to Disable Controller Support (Option) so that we may Continue to use such software like Xpadder to play on our own Controller schemes for some of us who are used to them.

For those who Don’t know what Xpadder is, please check the site link below to get more information about it for the sake of this topic:

=) Thanks!

I would love controller support for gw2. Sit my lazy kitten back on a couch for PvE.
Inb4 the controller being inferior to keyboard and mouse.

You can do that with Xpadder… Look it up.

Also I suggest if they do add Controller Support, to also add an (Option) to disable it so those of us using xpadder can use it without the support interfering.

You know you can hold buttons for the second ability instead of hold down left bumper and press a button…..

I enjoy playing with a controller also, but only with the chat pad attached, that way i can still talk to members of my guild/ party and its easier to access inventory items. The only problem is that there isnt a stable driver for it so it doesnt always work :/

Tbh i don’t think anet would ever put joypad support anyway.
So you got no worries there.

There are 16 buttons on the xbox360 controller. There are more I didnt list but basicly I have 35 keys/Mouse functionality converted into the 16 button controller that reflects my playstyle.

I’m very skillful in playing GW2 with my controller so changing it would make it feel weird for me. So yeah, I like the Controller layout I choose. It feels just right for me.

Here is a quote I like to say “What works for you, doesn’t mean it will work for others”! =P

@Dreamy Abaddon,

Have you use Pinnacle? How does that compare to xpadder?
