Guild Wars 2

Inventory is easy, my profile can do that. For typing the keyboard is never taken away from you. There are issues, but then I am using another program to simulate controller support. I am sure if Arenanet were to do it, it would massively trump what I have done.

Why do you need to change servers? You can now just guest to the server. Only think i know you cant do when questing is WvWvW.

Myself and a few friends have been playing the game with controllers. I spent a good amount of time to create a profile that works well with GW2 using xpadder. Having my friends test it out. What they keep telling me is the game just feels more natural to them, more comfortable. One friend could only play game for short time periods cause of wrist pain with keyboard and mouse setup, but using a controller he doesn’t have the same issue.

It is not just the controller config however, the controller would not work as well as it does without Immersive Combat Mode. http://wesslen.org/ICM/ All the features but the combat mode I disabled for my use. My xpadder layout would not without it though.

Are there any plans to support controllers in the future? I feel this would be a great addition to the game, I am sure there are others out there that agree and it might even make their experience more enjoyable.

For anyone that wants to try my xpadder controller layout I put a link at the top. I rebound the following keys.
Original —> Mine
F1 --> Q
F2 —> E
F3 --> R
F4 —> X
H --> C
I —> B
B --> I

The images are SET 1 through SET 4.

My Asura Engineer.
45 ish first picture.
80 second picutre.

With the engineer every time I enter a spvp battle ( even when just map changing in a spvp server ) the traits for Incendiary Powder ( Explosives Tree ), Hair Trigger and Rifled Barrels ( Firearms Tree ) either disable or do something else just as strange.

In the first screenshot Hair Trigger and Rifled Barrel, of the Firearms tree, are in the wrong positions, you cannot put a VI ( Hair Trigger ) in a 10 slot. Yet somehow the 10 and 20 slot traits of firearms like to switch and when they do one of them gets disabled. I would think the VI ( Hair Trigger ) in a 10 slot would most of the time but it does not. Usually it is the IV ( Rifled Barrel ) that gets disabled.

In the second screenshot, is how I set up my traits before every map start. Otherwise they wont be enabled and by the map change they either look like the first screenshot or Incendiary Powder and Rifled Barrel are disabled with Hair Trigger in the 10 slot again.

EDIT: Second screenshot was the wrong one. Should be fixed now.

When wearing the Asuran Cultural Armor level 1 ( The level 35 Version, havent tested the other versions yet) the engineering kits go on sideways.
