Game Controller

I hate how so many pc gamers are always bragging about options and customization but when its something they don't like they say its useless and shouldn't be in the game. When is more options ever a bad thing? I personally would love controller support as i have severe back problems after getting in a accident. I know the game plays better with KB&M but it would be nice to be able to lay down and play the game as well and give my back a rest. All pc games should have controller support.

Right... so no need to turn the inventory/skill tree into a scroll-a-thon and no need to increase hitboxes to accommodate the less than precise controllers and no need to provide aim-assist... and.. and...

Controllers/gamepads appear great because of all the incremental functional sacrifices made along the way to their current incarnation. They're rubbish. Always have been, always will be. Admittedly nowhere near as bad as that kinect garbage, but also a far cry from an effective input mechanism.

If insult was accidentally directed at anyone, that was not intentioned and I apologise. I've re-read my post and nowhere have a singled anyone out.

think gonna be problems with leap and such, but would like it because i could play it on my big ass tv and 360 controler:D but im fine if it stays with the mouse and keyboard

It is amazing how many people behave like children, what is worse is that most might even be older than me. With that being said there is absolutely nothing wrong with wanting to play with a controller. It is your tool of choice for playing, and some are impressible good at it.

Now that I got that out, if no controller support is to be implemented, I would suggest using the MotionJoy software. For example, this allows you to connect a ps3 controller via Bluetooth dongle (EDR 2.0+) and dupe it into a 360 pad. It also allows you to fully map the keyboard and Mouse to the controller.

I have main tank raided, PvP with hunter, and what not in WoW with a ps3 controller since vanilla, and done this for many games. I like my FPS with Mouse & KB but there are games I like with a pad, nothing wrong with that. I suggest you try it out, for this kind of game it can work if you put the effort into mapping it, I did a pad build for Diablo III and it wasn't too bad for some classes, though M&K might be needed if you are not quick on the pad.

Cheers ^_^

Since when do you have to make the skill tree either or, Have you played I don't know? any Strategy game? And all this garbage about having to provide aim assist, Please don't attack anyone especially when you have no clue what you are talking about.

As for your OPINION on controllers it's just that, A opinion. Also you should probably know just because something is not as effective as something else does not mean you should not put it in.... Hey I know! lets only offer Moneybookers or Paypal because hey why bother with those other methods of Purchasing/Donating they simply don't match the sheer effectiveness of Credit Cards.

You sound like you need to grow up and stop trying to be a hipster/elitist.

since I have not played console games since super nintendo I have no opinion but, I know I use a cyborg9 gaming mouse and that cuts down the need for the keyboard. which I can use laying down or sitting up. and is easy to program and use (for me at least)
