New world is perfect for controller as far as MMOs go. Very few skills to be used so no worries about too many button combinations and stuff. I hope it does get controller support soon.
It's coming very very soon, they definitely wouldn't have teased it if it wasn't ready :P Only awkward bit will be typing, gameplay and combat should feel fantastic!
Oh 100%, it's a natural fit. Scot also mentioned a controller UI (thank god lol) so that coupled with the combat system should make it a very fluid experience!
Now that's a good question! Pros and cons to both and I wouldn't mind giving console a go, don't know how I'd feel about losing all my progress though lol
I do enjoy playing with m&k, but doing farming routes or chilling and grinding in myrk would be 1000% better on a controller. Much more relaxing. I remember running the water hyacinth route in eso for hours on controller and it being relaxing.
I 100% agree with you my friend! The #1 thing I miss about switching back from console to PC again is the controller - got my Xbox Elite 2 ready and waiting! :D
Its always going to be contentious. I agree having more players would be amazing. UI i dont trust them to get it right first time but they will always get it better and better. On the other hand getting wombo combo by s&s blunderbuss with even the lightest aim assist will reallllllly suck in OPR. I almost forgot rapier with Aim assist .
My guess is aim assist would be more for ranged weapons that up close (bow and musket for example) but that's a good point, even melee weapons will probably get a small amount. Definitely don't expect perfection first time, I agree! That's another reason I think it's best to focus on controller first, get it locked in and then move to console. One thing I forgot to add in the video and it's kinda a biggie - ESO as my example allows you to switch between controller UI and KB&M UI, I'd imagine we'll get something similar here.
I think everyone plays on whatever they feel comfortable on, I like to lie in bed and play on a controller, that's why it's available because NW on a console is a cool console 🤟😎 
Haha yeah this will be the big sticking point. Controller will never give the precision of M&KB, it'll be interesting to see how they stack up when it releases :P
@@ItsGlaive but it misses all the purpose of mmo that's interaction. People that plays on controller doesnt talk to anyone, doesn't answer, and when they decide to run dungeons, they dont even care about what the group is saying, feels like playing with bots.
i play on controller already thru steam controller layout since launch. it's pretty chill. makes doing trade skills while sitting back a breeze.
Yeah thought about it, but hadn't really looked into it much 😁, can't wait for the full package though
Same but through reWASD.

@@ItsGlaiveYep, but just put attachment keyboard on the controller.
I think that is by design. Just 3 active skills per weapon. And then you switch to your offhand weapon. I could see it working very well on console.

It shouldn't be too much of an issue, I'm playing NW on my Steam Deck without any real issues
Fair enough, glad it's working fine :)
I wonder if console will get a fresh launch with segregated servers or if they will be thrown into existing servers with full crossplay support.

I would get into this game but I only play with a controller.
You can map your own controller through Steam currently if you like, but I'm holding off for full controller support :)
you can play the game with a controller now... I play with a controller and mouse... and have since launch
Yep but not with a native controller UI or button mapping, the real thing will be a much smoother experience
new world its currently a steam game so it already has controller support but i agree that it needs to have a console version
Yeahhhhh it kinda does that's true, but none of the menus or proper mapping, it'll be great having full, native support
needs a war mode, and console would be cool if they could play with the pc players.

Good luck running new on console,.optimization is terrible
Yeah lots and lots of optimisation needed for console release
FF 14 did it nicely
Never tried controller with FFXIV but my rotation used to be about 17 skills long so I always wondered how it would feel 😂
Maybe in 5 years to console. Azoth engine is a giant shitshow and they havent fixed bugs from beta.
I'm 100% certain we're looking at console next year lol, probably following a long string of improvements to the client and engine :)
I honestly can’t imagine playing an mmo rpg on console, seems like it would suck
It's pretty good to be fair, I've tried ESO, BDO, DCUO and even Tera this way :D

ye no.. for casuals that dont pvp probably ok ^^

MMO with controller is just so bad. You need to interfaith the person and the person doesn’t respond, so why play mmo?
It's pretty good to be fair, I've tried ESO, BDO, DCUO and even Tera this way, voice Comms really is key though for sure

@@tayalt2406 bad experiences can sure but that can be the same with kB and mouse too
@@ItsGlaive happens less oftem. Players with controlers always do that because they cannot type...
