Using an Xbox controller to play Guild Wars 2 (GW2) is possible, though the game was designed primarily for keyboard and mouse. Heres how to set it up effectively: Option 1: Native Support (Limited) GW2 has partial controller support via in-game settings: Enable Action Camera - Press Left Trigger (LT) + Right Trigger (RT) simultaneously to toggle Action Camera Mode (first-person view with controller-friendly aiming). - Adjust settings in Options > Control Options > Camera. Bind Keys Manually - Go to Options > Control Options and rebind keys to your controller buttons. - Example mappings: - A: Jump - B: Dodge - X: Interact - Y: Weapon Swap - LB/RB: Skill 1/2 - LT/RT: Skill 3/4 - D-Pad: Target selection, menus Limitation: GW2 doesnt natively support analog movement, so movement will be digital (WASD-like). Option 2: Third-Party Tools (Better Experience) For full analog movement and radial menus, use these tools: ReWASD (Recommended) - Maps controller inputs to keyboard/mouse binds. - Supports radial menus for skills. - Configurable dead zones for analog sticks. - Download ReWASD Steam Input (If Playing via Steam) - Add GW2 as a non-Steam game. - Use Steams Controller Configuration to map buttons. - Enable Joystick Mouse for camera control. JoyToKey / Xpadder - Free alternatives to map controller buttons to keyboard keys. Recommended Layout (Xbox Controller) Button Function Left Stick Move (Analog) Right Stick Camera (Mouse Emulation) A Jump B Dodge X Interact Y Weapon Swap LB Skill 1 RB Skill 2 LT Skill 3 RT Skill 4 D-Pad Menus/Targeting Back Toggle Action Camera Start Map Tips for Controller Play Use Action Camera for smoother combat. Assign Shift/Alt modifiers (e.g., LT + A for mounts). Keep a mouse nearby for menus/trading post. Consider ConsolePort-style UI mods (if using add-ons like BlishHUD). Final Notes PvE/Open World: Works well with a controller. PvP/WvW: Less optimal due to precision requirements. Add-Ons: Tools like GW2 Radial help with mount/ability selection. Would you like a pre-configured profile for ReWASD or Steam?

Great raids, some bugs

The new raid content is fantastic with challenging mechanics. However, there are still some bugs that need to be ironed out. Overall a solid expansion that keeps me coming back for more.
