Playing wow with a controller

The sticks do indeed work well for movement, hence why I call it "enhanced movement mode" :P I'm currently trying to upload a video to utoob to show it in action but my computer is being evil >:-
That's awesome. Not the evil computer part, but I think we've all been there. I was too busy getting indignant about the trolling to see it the first time through, that's what the internet is for after all.
What about camera angles? Do you have a way of moving them around?
Of course the biggest perk to using a controller that I think everyone is failing to see? Solves the old cat laying on the keyboard and spamming random crap problem.

Yes, if I hold my R1 trigger the right Cstick, normally used for mouse movement changes to controlling camera pitch and yaw, just like what the right Cstick in a FPS does.
Here's the video, I can't seem to view it, but Youtube says it's live. Lemme know if it works.

Great work. Video works for me.

Listen Pumpkin. ...
Why do you feel the need to burst into the thread and be so combative? It's entirely unnecessary. The guy wasn't asking for help on how to use a controller, he's already doing so. He asked two questions: if anyone else was using a controller, and if someone could point him in the direction of how to post pictures online. Did either of these really warrant insults and a tirade about how ineffective and impossible playing with a controller is?
This is the reason we can't have nice things around here anymore. Everyone wants to prove they're better, smarter, and more awesome than everyone else.
I'm not being combative. Would you prefer I started with "Listen Asshat!"
He shouldn't have had to ask about "How do I play WoW with a controller" as the information is simple to find. Did he really need to bring up "All I found was porn!"? Nope.
It's not a matter of being better, smarter, or "more awesome" (who honestly goes around saying "Yeah I'm awesome"?). It's a matter of using some common sense. Which sadly, most people running around today completely lack.
To CrypTecH, grats on using WoW and a controller. I wish we could be side by side and see which is more proficient for end game.

I think you misread his post. He never asked how to play WoW with a controller. He did however ask where to post pictures online so he could show us. :)

Both are the same. Faster to use a search engine.

I usually don't get involved in any trolling and instead laugh at the ones that are, but I really can't help myself this time...

See, you actually contradicted yourself in a single post.
And I really don't see the problem about the OP asking how to post pictures in the forums. He
did
say that he used a search engine beforehand and didn't get the results he was looking for, hence why he's asking for help with it here.
And what's the point saying that the keyboard + mouse is much more efficient than using a controller? Personally I wouldn't use a controller because I'm more used to the keyboard and it'd take time to get used to the controller - although I really like the idea of the freedom I'd get using one. From what I've read, they're not trying to be the best of the best, but just enjoying the game.
Don't expect me to keep arguing about this, I really don't wanna promote more trolling... (although that's probably all my post did)

Wow, this actually seems really interesting. I think I'm stopping by my local GameStop and getting a controller if they have any, not that I expect to be able to use it in PvP and pwn ass, but it'll certainly make it more fun. Maybe I'll finally level up my rogue again, that'd be sweet.
Anyway, keep this thread alive, I wanna know more about your setup etc, OP :)

Actually I didn't. The point of Keyboard/Mouse > Controller is a sub-issue. The OP should have just used his head, and looked up his answer first, instead of cluttering up the boards with a question that's easily answered. Any Mod will say (and have said) that this is the much preferred way of using WoWHead.
Dude, seriously, give up. You just got the wrong end of the stick in his posts, you can stop now, no biggie.
He plays with a controller, right there, he's doing it. It's possible.
WoW + Controllers = Mix enough for him.

Wrong end of the stick? What are you talking about?
Just because someone can use a controller for WoW, and it works for them, doesn't mean it's the best method. It's possible, yes, even though it's not the best method. It's like walking to a fire hose to put out a fire. Sure you could walk, but running is better.
As far as Grammar Nazi goes? First, you can brush up on your spelling of Grammar (just to put a finger in your eye). Second, when someone's posting and can't construe a readable sentence together without people going "What's he talking about?", it's pretty easy to misunderstand what they're saying (i.e. the OP). Grammar nazi's freak out over a misused capital letter. I don't. When whole words are missing from a sentence? Of course I'll point it out and say "Write properly so you can be understood." Since that's the whole point of using the boards.
Long post. Nap time.

Yup, you heard me, i aint a clicker or a button smasher, im a controller user and love doing it to.
just wanted to ask if someone else other than me have started using their controller in wow instead of their mouse and keyboard.
this is my Gamestop dual stick controller, pretty good in my hand and steers very well.

And this is the Xpadder setup im using

and here is a youtube video CrypTecH was so nice to put here.

Unless I suddenly can't understand a word of english, he's not asking about how to post screenshots. I've already stated my point. If someones going controller because they think it's fun, then power to them. I still say it's not as effective as a keyboard/mouse. Combine it with the amount of macro's out there that are keyboard dependant? Nah, pass.
Another point is the "I can play from my couch like a console" statement made earlier. Depending on your play area, so can a pc. Easily. I play on an oversized leather chair. The joy of flat screen monitors and going cordless.
I'm not talking about his 3rd post on page 1 of the thread. Though finding a "how do I post actual screens on this forum" could also be easily answered without posting on a thread also.
And
you're*
?

I challenge you!
Find me something I can't do with that controller, I'll post a video of me doing it. If you lose,
you leave this thread
and leave it to the people that do play with a controller.
He should just do that anyways. He's not adding anything constructive, he's just repetitively bashing the two people in this thread who went though the effort to set up a controller for WoW.
