why not make Perfect world played using a controller instead of a keyboard and mouse, or both?

    How the hell could you ever controle an MMO with a controler?

    There are like 20 skils you reguarly use, you can never fit that on a controler
    9 out of 10 voices in my head say I'm not crazy... the 10th is singing the music of tetris

    the game has a combo right? you can fit the skills in that combo and activate skills by just pressing 1 button.

    From my exp. combos can fail or stop half way through. So why hassel w/ a control, if you can do pretty good if not better with keyboard.

    and if macros and combos are the only way you ever use your skills... well, you better be real careful about what classes you play, as well as what instances you enter, ijs. most of my toons never use macros, because my gameplay's much too varied and situational for them. playing my veno on macros? ch'yeah, half the functions i use most are pet-related stuff that can't be put into a macro!

    Yeah, bad idea. No controller has enough options for this type of game. This idea was tried on another game resulting in a major degrading of playability to make it more appealing to console gamers. That game is dead now.

    using the mapping macro features of xpadder and joytokey helps make better macros then what PWI has to offer. the only way it would be 100000 times better is if PWI offered its own gamepad options so that we could make the same drop down menu for skills and macros like FF11 online. if anyone asks me it was the best way to show besides everquest for PS2 how you truly can use a controller. so yea IF the game had better macros.. it would be a great for gamepads and or keyboards.
    ^^ and tell the truth you don't always want your hands in a keyboard position XD it hurts after awhile! " For EX. a great macro to make btw for anyone who wants to know is" *esc, tab" this will select the closest monster near you.

    if they only would give us consolers a chance....
    besides the fact i COULD fit all my macros and spells in this game if i really needed it. the xpadder makes better macros then this game has they actually work lol
    side note the xpadder is working on making the chat pad usable for ohh so many new macros/hot keys SO to all the none believers! controller with a keyboard might rock ppl! XD i still think it would be the very best option for ANY GAME to let ppl play the way we want! i mean hell... not like the SP or the cube or the trading issues are that big of a deal for HOW LONG NOW? a little update for controller and macros and hot keys wouldn't hurt THAT MUCH.. it would just prove they are trying to make the game better!
    AND PLEASE dont give me that HOW AM I GONNA TALK.. use keyboard when nessacerry.. you shouldnt be talking well fightign anyway ! OR do what i have done with OHHH so many games USE BOTH AND let ppl use what they want if its a problem dont troll that you dont like it when others DO! so go away back under the bridge .. and leave the hate there if you come back out.

    Instead? b:shocked

    Okay, look. This might help you:

    I personally use 25 different skills often and mostly not in combo.
    There are some softwares out there able to bind your gampad buttons to do keyboard functions. but, to rotate your camera, select mobs/players manually (not by tab), talk to npc, will be a pain for you. Even if the game allowed gamepad, it would be a real pain to play with it.
