Support for Mouse and Keyboard in PoE2
|
This is probably the biggest thing holding me back from really diving in to the game right now, even though I bought the $60 package. Diablo IV, with all its faults, does a decent job making it controller-friendly. PoE is much more clearly leaning into being PC-focused. I have no interest in setting up a gaming rig (again), so most of my gaming is done on PS5. If things don't improve significantly, or they don't enable KBM support on consoles, I'd more likely bite the bullet and open a premium GeForce Now account and eat the $60 I spent on the PS5 version - but only once the game's fully released and the dust settles. Either that or move to LE once its console version drops if it works well.
I understand the PC focus of the genre generally, as that's where it was born. But ARPG's aren't nearly as wonky on consoles as RTS's were (RIP), as long as some work is put into the foundational interface and not just turning a cursor into stepped navigation. |

please enable KBM support on console. Xbox already allows it, you just have to trigger it on your side, GGG. it will need to be quick-swap too from controller to KBM so we dont have to log out each time we switch input |

I would LOVE to be able to play with Keyboard and Mouse on Xbox, as my Series X is much better than my laptop :) Let's work together to make this world a better place :)

" Diablo 4's console version is crap compared to PC. It doesn't give players autonomy to control where items go in the inventory + stash, which was one reason I stopped playing it on Xbox. POE 1 was amazing on console. It had trade built into the game, it had the best inventory management (much better than POE 2) of all the ARPGs. Controls for combat were awesome too. For some reason though, POE 2 ended up changing almost everything, including which buttons do what for inventory/stash management... Idunno if maybe the people who worked on POE 1 console are no longer at the company or what, but ya, switching between the two games takes some getting used to lol Let's work together to make this world a better place :)

Well..i tryed POE2 after i think 2 months and still no KBM support:/ Seems like i need to wait more:), just cant adapt to the controller. Its sad, I was sooo hyped around POE2 and all the crossplay possibilities. Never thougt the controler will be the bigest wall for me:), even that big that im waiting and hoping...:) |

If a smaller dev team such as for Deep Rock Galactic can get KB+M support out, with a fraction of the budget, and for a game with far less *need* than PoE, I can't see an excuse. |
