Discussion: Blizzard details beta gamepad support for World of Warcraft: Forever

[GAMER2GO Newsroom]

The official guide explains how to switch to a controller, how targeting and action bars work, and what still needs polish in the beta.

Read the full story. What do you think?

the bit about supported XInput pads and Xbox/PlayStation icons is actually helpful. at least they are not making people guess which button maps to what on day one.

Jack2005, I think the button icons matter more than people admit. If the layout is already showing both styles clearly, that makes the whole beta feel less like a rough port and more like a proper option.

the bigger issue is still that Blizzard wants a keyboard nearby for chat. if they are aiming for a keyboard-free experience later, this is only halfway there and people will feel that the moment they try to talk in group content.

[GoldenHunter]

that is fair, but halfway is still useful if the combat side is solid. i would rather have a controller mode that works well in fights than a fully couch-ready one that feels bad to use.
