Ps4 (/ console) controller reconfig discussion

WitchKing_of_Nirn
For the amount of time the console versions were in development, some of these functionalities should have been considered. If we'll never get free rebinds, we should at least have 5 or 6 controller options that change more things than jumping to R3. Please revisit the console controls in one of the coming major content updates. This is from the perspective of a PS4 player, but I'm sure the xbox has controlls to improve upon as well.

General control:
- Increase max camera sensitivity (a lot).
- Extend the size of the emotes wheel. Being limited to 8 quickslots kinda sucks. that wheel could be 12 or 15 slots big. the potion quick slot wheel too.
- Optional Push to talk button (hold right dpad?)
- scroll backwards in quest log (dpad left after right)
- ****Right hand swap weapons ****X*O*[]*^*R3****??please?
- potion on right hand would be a nice option too

Combat rebinds:
- ***either more configurations to include the following ***
- or far better, freely remap-able buttons
-left dpad with square (people who use toggles)
-switch L1 with L3, and R1 with R3
-down dpad with interact (X) (plus left stick for camera adjust*)

-slightly increase the target radius for resurrection
-***mount button with resurrect*** (ps4 options button doesn't hold nicely)
-**Map and menu buttons**

Menu control:
- * split stack and delete item in trade/ vender/ guild store
- (ps4) menus can be controlled by scrolling center track pad.
- (ps4) trackpad left should recede menu, right should advance.
- Add the ability to look at your bag/ map while still moving. The world doesn't stop; Right stick + ps4 trackpad could easily control the menu, infact it would be more intuitive anyways. Maybe even allow combat while in menu.

    please please add more radial emote options! There are so many good ones that I'd like to use more often

    All these make sense. Hopefully starting Tuesday once PC has the console UI for game-pad use, some of your suggestions will happen

    Honestly I just want touchpad support for the PS4. Being able to swipe in a cardinal direction and use a consumable would be great. The only reason not to have it is because ZOS was trying to save money and didn't want to optimize controller support since the XB1 doesn't have a touchpad.

    The ps4 controller doesn't really work on PC (the touch-pad) so I don't think it's a situation of being cheap. Maybe it's more of Sony lacking to provide proper PC drivers cause the PS4 doesn't really work so well on PC in PTS right now either

    I use input mapper with my PS4 controller, and by default the touchpad actually acts like a laptop trackpad, it's pretty cool. I haven't gone into it too much to see what else I can do with it.

    Pressing L2+X to dodge roll and getting the loot screen is the biggest oversight in crossing the game from PC to PS4.

    So irritating.

    Xbox can make due with just the dpad. I'm not sure but I think the positioning of the dpad would make it more convenient to use on the fly. so if your in a menu you'd control your charecter with the sticks and cast attacks normally, but the dpad would assume the responsibility of the menu (left recede and right advance/select).

    Not extra* slots I don't think, But I like the idea of using them instead of for example l1 and r1. Although that would ruin the trackpad for the menu, because you couldn't use those abilities and control the menu.
    I love the fact that our builds are limited to 5 active abilities, it makes you prioritize what your actually using.

    I use auto loot, so that never happens. Might wanna try that if your inventory is big enough.

    I'm not talking about a PC driver but console optimization where the dual shock 4 is the standard input device for the PS4.
