no controller support on PC...yeah, it's frustrating.

Forgot where they mention it, but they confirmed that full gamepad + console ui support will come for pc "after console release".

That is literally the best news I've heard this year. I've not yet found a comfortable way to use the mouse on the couch, and the current UI with XPadder is just...painfully slow.

Still can't find the exact thing I was looking for, but I did find this: https://help.elderscrollsonline.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/368/kw/gamepad

Really though, for all we know, it won't come until November or something for PC.

@Xithian Have you tried Pinnacle?
I feel as though it responds faster IMO....I think you can try it for free to test the response time

Will probably give it a look tomorrow. The problem is how long it takes to do things like sort when selling to vendors, or god forbid doing anything with a guild bank.

Both Pinnacle and Xpadder are utterly useless on the PC version. Combat wise it passes, but absolutely anything ui driven is terrible or not possible. Map, Skills, Inventory, Journal, Etc.

Xithian · April 2015

That's been my experience so far, which is why I was excited when you mentioned them tying the console UI to controller support. I still wonder at the fact that they didn't add it to PC first to see how it even went with players.

So the only thing I'm unsure of,and I only got.my xbox one yesterday so I'm not sure what it's capable of, but will you be able to use add-ons on Xbox one? Other than that this thread answered all my questions I think I'm gonna make the switch to console and play this game with decent graphics finally.tha KS.

Add-ons per ZOS will not be a part of console versions

Ok. That's what I figured. I'll miss some but I'll survive. Thanks for the information

Yeah for inventory if it UI driven they can make hotkeys for every action:
Dpad= Scroll Up/Down, bumpers= tab right/left to switch between buy/sell
X= Enchant, brings up enchant window, X= 1st choice, Y=Second choice
Y=Repair
B=Cancel
A=Destroy

Maps:
Back=Bring up map
Right trigger=Zoom in
Left trigger= Zoom out
Right Bumpers= Toggle between maps
Left bumper=Toggle between wayshrines
RIght analog= Maneuver map
X= Mark map

They can even add hotkeys for skill swaps or job changes and equip all your gear.

While xpadder and pinnacle are functional, they are nowhere near as good as a native controller setup can be.

KNOWN ISSUES

General

When creating an account, the following countries will experience a login error: Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Czech Republic, Italy, Japan, Luxembourg, Mexico, Poland, Portugal, Russia, Spain and Switzerland. We recommend you select the United States as your country for this beta.

Customer Support tickets will display an error message even when successfully sent.

Switching accounts while trying to load into the game can cause an infinite load screen. Restarting the game will fix this.

If you launch the game before you plug in a headset, the headset will not work. You should launch the game with your headset already plugged in.

Health indicators may become desynced, and will display inaccurate information with regard to another player character's health. This is especially true when using a Restoration Staff, or trying to cast spells before you've fully loaded into an area.

Some animations, sounds, and particle effects will take longer to load than they should. This can cause placeholder graphics to appear, or cause the asset to be missing entirely.

If you repeatedly adjust the screen size in quick succession, the game will freeze and become unplayable.

Reporting another player character via the mail menu is not yet available, and will cause the interface to give an incomplete or blank display.

Actions that would normally force you to dismount (swimming, teleporting, going through a door, or getting knocked off by a monster) may cause you to become stuck on your mount. Relogging will fix this.

Some longer names will cause overlapping in the user interface.

Demoting another player character in a guild will cause them to be unable to enchant, repair, or charge weapons and armor until they close the game and restart.

The quest "Like Moths to a Candle" in Stros M'Kai will occasionally cause the game to crash.

Accepting invites to large groups will occasionally cause the game to crash.

The Combat Tutorial for "Break Free" is missing text in German and French clients.

If you are trying to repeatedly change the Friends list quickly, the game may crash.

Five or more group members can currently enter a four-player instance that should be restricted to four group members.

Items in the Crown Store will be priced at 1 Crown each for beta testing purposes. Items purchased during the beta will not transfer to the live version of the game.

Activity feed posts for the European beta do not currently have icons.

Online IDs of speakers in Group and Guild VOIP channels are not identifiable during loading screens; however, VOIP communication is still functional.

You cannot currently view Online IDs in some menus.

Unblocking player characters that are in a VOIP participant list outside the game will occasionally inadvertently block a different player character in the participant list.

Attempting to access another player character's Online ID through the VOIP menus will force the client back to a loading screen with message rate error.

I thought 1920x1080@30hz was locked in on consoles? Your post implies that is not the case. If I buy it for xbox and it's dropped to 1600x900 by launch i better get a refund.

It's not been confirmed but based on BETA unless something is changed...I'm pretty confident that it's 1080p on both but I don't want to mislead anyone until it's been confirmed.

Resolution was never a big deal to me on consoles anyways. You can barely tell the difference between 900p and 1080p on consoles. I'd rather have 720 or 900P at 60fps than 1080p at 30fps. if I played this on console.

Why is the transfer only available to the US & Europe? I already bought it and got no warning of this when buying...

Don't confuse your actual location with the only available servers.
The U.S. and Europe equal NA and EU which are the only two servers

I'm confused then. I have an Asian PSN ID. I have been playing on NA megaserver and intend to keep playing on NA megaserver... Will the transfer happen to my Asian PSN ID? The text below makes it sound as if you cannot get transferred if you don't have a PSN ID with SCEA or SCEE. (Asia PSN is SCEJ)

This is the text from official source:
Players who are eligible for the console transfer offer should be aware that transfers to PlayStation 4 are only available to those who reside within the regions of SCEA (Sony Computer Entertainment America) and SCEE (Sony Computer Entertainment Europe)
* No Asian countries listed.

Ahhhh that part. I'd have to rely on what's on the support page and suggest contacting SCEA or SCEE as ZOS is going to supply what's above until someone updates something elsewhere.

It's getting really scary...no one has any good info even on this official site.
I'm on Xbox one and have other logic concerning questions that aren't listed and or addressed by ZOS

They got $150 from me already so if more bad news comes......I'm done

Fexelea · April 2015

I just can't believe they charged me for it based on my residence without considering possible international PSN ID issues.

I sent an email to support, and an email to SCEJ to see if any of them can tell me what is going on and what will happen.

Can you do everyone a favor and post your finders here?

Fexelea · April 2015

I will as soon as someone responds... Usually 24 hours before they do. And then they give you a copy and paste that doesn't answer anything, and you reply, and then maybe someone read it... sigh. This has ruined my day

You know, I'm sort of going thread to thread to complain about this. They ran this character transfer thing for a month. And I've sent in a ticket to find out why but haven't had any luck. My buddy that's been playing with me since launch did the same and keeps getting the run around. What I did is my own fault. I skimmed the last email they sent about it and saw the deadline to get the discounted rate to move to PS4. I thought that was what it was for only, meaning I didn't think they'd really make a deadline on transferring. So I missed the date and I'm not the only one.

Just hope they'll be cool and move my character when the time comes.

IF they do change their minds at least for you, I think others would find value if you could post again as such.
If not...thanks for checking out this thread
