Controller support

is it possible to get a controller support in the future ? I would love to lay on my couch and play with my controller rather than on my desk at the pc. The character could move with the stick and every skill that is a ranged skill whick we place by pointing the mouse there could be used by the right stick and a "ghost" of the skill will be shown so you know where you place the skill ( like mages singularity). But the devs could think of something more practical. Thank you for reading and i wait for bad or good replies

 

I've actually thought about this and have some present day solutions for playing on a couch in the living room.

For controllers, maybe try the steam controller (price has recently been reduced). It is supposed to be able to replace keyboard + mouse for FPS so it might work for this. Be the guinea pig and let us know how it goes.

The other option is some sort of wireless lap/couch setup. Razer turret, corsair lapdog if you want to spend $$$, logitech k400 + logitech mouse on same unifying receiver on a piece of wood or some other flat surface if you don't (or some other kind of wireless/bluetooth k+m setup)

Here's something else I found talking about using steam controller for mmorpgs:

Another couch keyboard mouse system is the roccat sova:

I've only personally done the logitech k400 keyboard plus a mouse on a lapdesk (one of those things with a pillow that is really for a laptop, tons of different types on amazon). It worked but i didnt stick with it as the setup had graphics issues as the hdtv computer was a zotac zbox with a sandy bridge celeron - had it been a more recent processor it would have been sweet

 

Also if you are using Win 10 it has driver support for the xBox controller. I have not tried this personally but just do a google search and you may find what you are looking for.

Luck be with ye,

The steam controller would work but again it reacts like any other controller. The problem is the ranged skills like teleport/jump. And the movement of your character since you have to click to move. They can implement movement of the character with the stick so you dont have to assign a click button on your controller. Ive been playing around with an xbox360 controller and i set the stick to be clickable when i move it so the character would move but it doesnt work well because you cant have the left mouse click blank so i make it only for movement.

 

RPG's are not a kind of games that you would like to play with controller.
I am using PS Dualshock with adapter for PC when playing football games like PES or maybe Tomb Raider ... but you can't replace the mouse and keyboard when playing RPG.

 

Yeah its hard to implement it but not imposible. If i could get drakensang to run on my ps4 would be the best thing ever.
