Controller Setting in game.

Not sure if it has been talked about yet or not, But in 2.0 will we be able to change controller setting in game on the fly. Mainly because today I just found out my X ( A button for Xbox ) button is starting to fail.
IE: starting to stick and have no bounce back
I was hoping to see this put in sooner but I’m sure it cant. This is the 2nd controller since Sep ‘10. This last controller Logitech Wireless Gamepad F710 lasted from mid Dec 2011 till now.
But to get back to my point I would like to say swap in an old ps3 controller in during my crafting/mining times, then be able to quick switch over to a better controller Was thinking of switching my confirm/select button to my R1 button or change it up, but having to log in and out each time to change a key sucks.

Also add in for the players that have a controler unplug while playing beleave they need to log out of game to make 14 see it again. ( If not sorry I seen it in the tag quick adds while adding some.)

The X is not really failing it's only the controller rubber inside the controller you broke it and it getting stuck happen to me many times. You could always buy a new xbox 360 rubbers pads online and open your controller put a new one and it wont cost you 20-40$ for a new controller :) you can find them online for around 3$

Indeed I know that i noramly put super glue around the base where it starts to brake makes the button stiff and have bounce back lasts for a bit. But thanks ill look into buying new pads never though of that.

Along the lines of post though woudl like to see ingame controler settings changing :D

Yes i like for ingame controller setting that would be such a great idea :)

and no problem :) never thought about super glue o.o i just open up random controller i had and took there pads and put it on the controller it work but it always good to buy the real one online for your controller now that i have a xbox 360 controller if the pads fail on me i just but them for 3-4$ so it's better then wasting 25-40$ every time it fails 25-40 could get you over 2+years of pads :)

ALLOW A WAY TO SWAP THE X and O buttons (A and B on 360 controllers) FROM WITHIN THE GAME.

Why did you buy a Logitech wireless controller? That was a mistake.

I remember them mentioning there will be more settings ingame except for those that require a game restart. So it's basically up to SE and their definition of what requires a client restart... we can hope I guess.

OT: lol@"better controller". My ps2 controller has served me well for over 10 years now, despite the occasional abuse... that's a "better controller" for me.

Unless you hate cords this is cheap and works perfectly. Used to be $10 when the game really stunk =P

1) I enjoy Logitech stuff, last controller lasted 5 years ( till I started button smashing FF14 lol )
2) I'm a PS3 gamer, dont like the feel of xbox controler.

Also to what Soukyuu said about game restart from SE... i dont hodl my breath casue SE makes PC games ass backwords. Casue every other pc game lets you change controler settings ingame. Even the ones that arnt made for controllers casue as I said in OP i cant play with kb/mouse i map my controler to play games like Lord of the rings and Guild Wars so i can play with controller.

for me the pads on it broke within a few months of used the d-pad and the X i think it better getting a 24$ xbox 360 wire controller from amazon like i did and if the pads break just buy them for 2-4$ :)

Oh really? Heh, mine is still going strong after all this time. Guess I don't button mash as much as I should XD. Oh and I just can't stand the d-pad on xbox controller. Its terrible and I use my d-pad for targeting so I really like ps3 version controllers.

I just wanted to suggest that, if you have any WD-40 lying around, lightly squirt some on to the button face of the controller. Make sure that it get's into the crevices of each button that "sticks." Then dry the controller off, or better yet leave the controller out so it dries and any of the scent from the WD-40 dissipates (it's probably not a good idea to inhale the fumes too much but if your desperate to play feel free too, just don't hold me responsible). There is a good chance that this will solve the problem.

It isnt that the buttons at sticking to the controler face its that tha rubber pads under it are braking from smashing 1 button most of my playing. WD-40 woudl work prob if i spileld a drink on it and the button is stickign to the controler face. But thanks for the lil tip.

Hey everyone!

We will be adjusting portions of the config that require you to reload the game client so that the changes are reflected. This will make it possible to set external configurations in-game or while the game is running.
This system is currently being restructured for 2.0 and we are not at the point where we can give out specific details as to what config settings will be possible to change while in-game. In addition, this will not be implemented until 2.0's launch. Once we receive an update, we will be sure to let you know!

I use to have my ps3 controller using motionjoy on my pc for XIV. Kept having problems so I bought the snakebyte controller (2 actually). I love it!! I didn't like the design when I looked at it at first but in actuality it's pretty lightweight and I'm not overusing my other controllers. The cord is about 9 ft long anyway and can be used on the ps3. Just throwing my 2 cents in there on this controller... :P

Glad to see they are finally incorporating the configs into the actual game.

Corded controllers are so PS2. $12 Xbox Reciever for PC and the same wireless xbox 360 controller you use for your console and you can't go wrong. Plug and play wireless really is a joy =D

Except that the game will be losing connection to it once it decides to save power and you will have to relog.. I prefer a good old cable for now, maybe 2.0 will make it better.
