I use my PS4 controller to play GW2, have been since I got my PS4 on launch day. I had to use Xpadder to map it and I’m still tweaking the control mappings I have here and there. I’ve talked to literally hundreds of people who’ve asked me how it works and how I have it set up and they usually leave fairly impressed with how well I’ve mapped it and how well it works telling me that they would have thought I would have issues keeping up with a mouse and keyboard.
Just today 3 people told me I can get banned because of how I have my controller mapped. In order to use all of the keys I had to map it a certain way, for example to use the second set of skills I have:
L2 + Triangle is heal
L2 + Square is 7
L2 + X is 8
L2 + Circle is 9
L2 + R2 is 10
I have other things to like R2 + left stick moves the cursor as well. Now, they’re telling me that they’re going to report me because I’m not aloud to have multiple keys set to one button. Can I get bannes for this? Nothing in my controller mapping gives me any type of advantage at all, I have the key combos there because they need to be there to play the game. It confuses me because I’ve talked to 2 ANet guys regarding it and they were rather intrigued by it, asking me all sorts of questions and everything and neither of them said anything about banning me or me getting a potential ban because of it, and went over my mapping top to bottom with them for almost half an hour with each one. They left just as the others did, impressed by how well I had it working.
Guild Wars 2 is one of my favorite games, I don’t want to get banned from it. I prefer using the controller much more then I do using a keyboard and mouse to play, but I NEED to have it mapped the way I do to use it as there is obviously not enough buttons to use it otherwise. If it is a problem then I’ll suck it up and go bacm to using a mouse and keyboard. I had just assumed it was fine because nobody has ever told me it was a problem until today. Like I said, I don’t want to get banned.
