Beta access is just that. If you don't want it, don't pay. Game is FTP starting 4-30-2013. I honestly think the game is fun. Its similar to GW2 in its fighting style.
I used a Dual Shock 3 (with Motion Joy) as I also game on the PS3. I got tired of Motion Joy adware crap so I recently bought a Razer Sabertooth (maybe 2months ago) and love it.
Just found out about a new program called Scarlet Crush which is Motion Joy (without the extra) but the Sabertooth is my choice for pc gaming. Prior to using gamepads I used a Nostromo and Death Adder mouse for WoW.
Many MMO's are coming to (see Defiance) console (and some like the beta I'm in will allow for cross platform play with PC/PS3 )and its just natural to give people the choice of what peripheral to use.
I play all my MMO's (WoW included) with a Controller. I'm in another closed MMORPG Beta that picks up again this weekend and they are purposely incorporating gamepad support. Only WoW had a learning curve with a gamepad (due to all those effin hotkeys!!!) I think a lot of PC gamers / developers are seeing the benefits of a gamepad option along with kb&m for MMO's.
As listed in my earlier post the game felt natural with a controller and it will have native support upon release. I saw a lot of posts on the Neverwinter forums saying gamepad was the way to go for this game.
I've played my share of MMO's and I didn't give the game much though when I saw the link to get in BW3 on gamespot. Gotta admit the game was a lot of fun. FYI the game also will have native controller support for those who tend to shy away from PC games due to lack of skill with KB&M. I Put away my Nostromo for my Sabertooth and the game felt natural and this was with x-padder (gamepads were disabled for BW3).
I see a lot of negative comments but very few who stated that they actually played the Beta. I went in with the same worries but have to admit the game was very fun. Not out to change anyone's opinion but I would suggest giving the beta a chance if you MMO. Hell its FTP. No one is holding a gun to your head and saying but the Founders Pack.
Although I do not own a Wii U (or a WIi for that matter), I can hear the whole nintendo universe letting out a Petter Griffin sized .........................ssssssooooooouuucccchhh!!!!!!! I think this effectively ends any Wii U is next generation tech.
@Talavaj The 600 series cards are having the most problems. I have a 660ti and was crashing every 5 minutes. Nothing really worked until I rolled back my drivers to 310.90 and I've had only minor issues since then with everything maxed out including the hair effects.
