Raifu.3954 Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 Recently bought the collection because I always loved the story direction of this game and need something to delve into for the oncoming downtime of both ffxiv and pso2's expansions (because it WILL happen), but I played with the steam controller support feature but was still a bit clunky last I remembered. Are they currently working on it or still radio silence? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unsure if that developer got cut when Anet lost some staff a year or so ago tho. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arnox.5128 Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 If you launch the game with Steam, you can use Steam's own controller support and configurations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatihso.7258 Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 There is someone in reddit posted full guide and settings for his steam controller just last week or so. Find that post and you are all set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Hsiao.9705 Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 Steam control and real controller support is totally different... I keep coming back to check the forum regarding about controller support. Guess I won't be buying new expansion since they still don't have controller support yet. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair we dont even know if the one dev that had it as his hobby project off the clock still work at Anet mate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jokke.6239 Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 (edited) I play MMO's (and most games with controller, have for years). Yes i'm super casual. No fractals, raids or PVP etc. Steam controller software is brilliant when you delve into its deep features. And Guild Wars 2 is like it was made for controller thanks to the action cam and how it automatically switch to mouse mode when opnening vendor/options menu etc, usually have to map a button yourself to switch between your own programmed "action cam" and mouse mode. Works best with a steam controller, but mine broke and impossible to get a new one now a days sadly. Right now on a cheap controller with really bad right stick (mouse) response, but I still get by 😛 You won't lack buttons with use of activation buttons. For things that doesn't require quick reactions you can also use double press/long press etc to do commands.

So OP slim chance to get native controller support now bud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShionKreth.1542 Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 (edited) We just have to hope that sometime after EoD launch they can find the time to implement it, because it's getting silly at this point. All their major competitors have controller support, many lower budget MMOs have controller support, and many games that don't work as well with a controller as GW2 does have controller support; it's simply past due. edit: apparently people found either my wording or sentiment confusing.

I'm also a casual player, so i want to know if you can share your steam controller config with us, so we can try to have the same experience.

You wouldn't understand how to use it, only maybe with a wall of text of me explaining how it works. And even then, it's mapped to my personal key commands in-game that wouldn't fit the default scheme. I wouldn't reccommend using other peoples configs. Learning how to use the software will pay off big time. It's not too complicated 🙂 It's almost imposiible to find a config that will fit you perfectly, rather than just map it to your own preferences.

DoomNexus.5324 Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 (edited) I personally would probably not use a controller anyway but I know someone who can't properly use a keyboard for fast-paced actions and pretty much relies on controller support. And I think a lot of people just prefer using a controller overall. So I'd also appreciate proper support, even tho I'd not use it.
