✭✭✭I would give thanks that I already have a Nostromo and a Naga that I much prefer compared to playing with a gamepad."If you want others to be happy, practice compassion. If you want to be happy, practice compassion." -- the 14th Dalai Lama

@Kimbyungmo stop trolling, Hell will freeze over before that happens so stop trying to stir up yet another facile flame-war over Steam.7 -

You don't know how these things work. Steam doesn't do that.0 -

rotiferuk✭✭✭I already play ESO with an Xbox360 controller (wired) and Xpadder. IMHO inbuilt controller support would just screw things up for those of us who prefer to user our own custom profiles. BTW, the steam controller appears to use batteries, which means (sod's law) it will stop working during a trial. Anyway, who in their right mind would want to play on Steam? With their software flapping about between ESO and the computer the frame-rate in Cyrodiil would probably drop to minus figures.EU Server.0 -
LunaRae✭✭✭✭Yea my friend was playing ESO on controller from day 1, did all the work himself to make it happen. With only 5 abilities per bar it's not nearly as difficult as other MMO's which require many, many buttons.

ZOS_JasonLeavey✭✭✭✭✭Hey, all. Just as a reminder, we recently announced on our Update 3 API Patch Notes thread for PTS that we're in the early stages of adding PC support for gamepad input. While not enabled yet, this is something we're working on.12 -
for those saying why use a controller I use one now through PgP and works much better then mouse and keyboard. That being said I always played skyrim with an xbox 360 controller too. Is easier on my wrists because otherwise my left wrist hurts after a few hours using the keyboard.1

Controller is better at what? Being slow and inaccurate?You earned the 500 LOLs badge.
You received 500 LOLs. It ain't no fluke, you post great stuff and we're lucky to have you here. +50 points3 -
Kenthros✭✭You can have your controller move pretty quick, and unlike skyrim this game you do not have to be accurate at all hitboxes are *** huge.But I, being poor, have only my dreams;

Better then getting my fingers knotted up on the keyboard. But...I'll believe it when I see it if I'm still playing then. Fortunately kiting with my new NB Blood Rogue has saved the game twice for me now so maybe I'll still be playing solo months from now.
If ESO proves successful on the consoles in several months I'll be ready to seriously consider giving up high-end PC gaming all together--maybe, we'll see.Edited by RatsnevE on July 18, 2014 5:13PM0 -
rotiferuk✭✭✭Controller is better at what? Being slow and inaccurate?
PC profiling software (Xpadder. Pinnacle, etc) allows a controller to be fully customised. This includes speeding up its responsiveness to that of a mouse. BTW, have you ever used an Xbox360 gamepad to play on the PC? If not you are commenting from a position of ignorance. On ESO using a game pad for combat works just fine.EU Server.1 -

Tannakaobi✭✭✭✭✭Already know how to use a mouse/keyboard. Why would I ever care about controllers?
er...
I don't know about you, but I'd be very happy to have a controller.
The first thing I would do is put it straight on my big HDTV, sit back in my big comfy leather sofa and enjoy, perhaps even do a bit of questing in first person mode, maybe even ask the wife to fetch me a nice cold beer from the fridge... at which point I'd get a kick in the shin and have to fetch my own beer.3 -

Robotukas✭✭✭Because I started play games on Tablet, so I stopped play ESO. On tablet isn't compatible play with keyboard and mouse on the sofa or on the bed. Some people don't know how to use controller so that why they don't play. All the time you need to spot advantages and disadvantages. Also they didn't find right controller which they like. I am using PS3 Dual Shock on my Tablet. Also I will buy PS4 Controller when they resolve issues with battery life. This game doesn't have dozens keyboard command, so is very good solution to make it controller support. And also if someone know that mean HTPC and SteamOS Console so they will understand what about I am talking. Extra players are extra income. You don't lose players if you add controller support.Edited by Robotukas on July 18, 2014 6:41PM0 -

✭✭✭I'd learn how to write a proper sentence, first. Then I'd install xpadder.-First-Wave Closed Beta Tester of the Psijic Order, aka the 0.016 percent.
Exploits suck. Don't blame just the game, blame the players abusing them!

An analog stick will never be as accurate or as responsive as a mouse. It's not not possible with the way they work. Analog sticks have dead zones, acceleration, etc. built in which means you might be able to move your camera as fast as a mouse user but you will never be as accurate due to these things.
I'm not anti-controller and I am happy to see they are adding native support to the game, but let's not kid ourselves here. A controller is used for sofa gaming(aka comfort) or if you have some sort of disability that prevents you from properly using a KB+mouse.Outside of that there are really no legitimate reasons to grab a controller over a KB+mouse when given the option. An exception to that statement would of course be poor console ports.

That being said, "if" it did happen, I would google the keymap to see what layout they came up with and maybe modify mine.Edited by Chuggernaut on July 18, 2014 6:45PMMy comrades have returned. I erect the spine of gratitude. You are a hero today. - Bura-Natoo0
