Guild Wars 2

Title says it all.
I thought that this game had plug-and-play controller support…was I wrong, or am I thinking of another game.
And is it possible to use a controller for it? (I don’t have an Xbox360 controller, only a Logitech Gamepad and a PS3 controller)

you where thinking of tera this game does not support controller

Any game you can play 100% with a keyboard, you can set-up on a programmable game controller.

You can use a PS3 controller with the driver from http://www.motioninjoy.com/

I dont know how you would use a controller to play GW2,
However, I play GW2 on the Xbox360 Controller since Beta and I designed it in a way where you dont ever need to use a Keyboard and Mouse ever again. You can play effectivly and effeciantly on your bed or chair and layback.

If you are interested in my layouts and how to set it up ingame, PM me and I’ll get back to you and give you my Skype info so we can get you setup =P

I don’t know why anyone would want to use a gamepad, really. I mean for this type of game. Really better off getting a track ball and gaming key pad… or even a portable 10-key. Works great sitting in a recliner and such. They are useful for sims though, like aircraft sims or FPS’ with heavy vehicle combat. But I could never see a real edge using it in first to third person mode games. But yeah, should work with a game pad.

I CAN’T play GW2 with a Keyboard and Mouse. It’ awkward for me and seems impossible.

With the Xbox360 controller, I have better mobility and fast reactions of using skills I need based on different combat situations.

Here is a Video on how I play ALL 8 Professions using only my Xbox360 Controller:

It’s a personal preferences. Some people do better with Xbox360 controller like myself, while others prefer the keyboard and mouse.

Sorry, I just play way better on controller. I’ll die fast without it. =/

Hi Dreamy,

Would you be so kind to share your controller setup with us? I’ve been thinking about giving the controller a try myself.
