Seems like most of the people I ask are on the Playstation!

Oh that's kinda neat, I did not know that. Wondering if you know, if your account is linked to both PS4/PS3 and a PC version of the game, will your PS account ID show up when you are playing on PC?

No it's only a policy for PSN users

Yeah.. I really think there should be a section for the PSN Ids in the Active Help interface. but ho well.

PC user here. I actually tried playing with a controller the other night and I couldn't get my head around it. It just seems so ... imprecise. My FC is roughly half and half, with some having licences for both platforms.

i highly doubt it unless you needed to log into PSN before logging into ARR (which i dont think you need to do on PC w multiple access points like your question)

Takes some time getting used to it. I used to primarily use kb/m. When I switched over to PS4 I tried to continue with that, but the PS4 didn´t support the extra buttons on my mouse. So I hesitantly tried playing with the controller again. The few times I played on PS3 with a controller wasn´t a pleasant experience.

After giving it some time and getting used to it, I feel it is far more comfortable to use than kb/m. Feels easier to click on the actions, and I can also play in whichever position I want. :p
Only gripe I have with controller is when I want to target one specific target. If it isn´t 1st one on tab targeting, or on enmity list. It becomes rather bothersome.

I do spend alot more time setting up a proper hotbar with controller than I do for kb/m. Perhaps it is because I spend more time thinking through how to set it up that it is easier for me to press the actions with it, than with kb/m :confused:

Either way, I mainly want to say if it is the 1st time using the controller, and it feels completely alien and impossible to use. Give it some time and you might start preferring to use it as well :)

I did try this, however I found that a controller is only preferable to me while gathering or crafting, you know, more simple activities. Makes them far more relaxing, too.

I have 3 monitors, so a m/kb is also preferable in that respect. I often like to browse forums/imgur unless I'm in a dungeon, and that just isn't possible using a controller.
