A brand new construct has arrived for the Dragonflight (opens in new tab) beta and it appears that evidently World of Warcraft could get official controller help within the new growth. Each Xbox and PlayStation controller belongings that are “tied to controller bindings” have been datamined within the newest construct, in keeping with Icy Veins (opens in new tab).
This information actually provides weight to any hypothesis that WoW may present up on Xbox after the Microsoft acquisition, assuming it goes forward (opens in new tab) after all. Equally although, it could simply be a part of the push in the direction of higher accessibility choices for the practically 18-year-old MMO—one thing that lots of the UI updates in Dragonflight look like specializing in.
An “motion fight” choice was beforehand added to the Dragonflight beta. If enabled, this implies you will not must tab between enemies to focus on them—as an alternative, you’ll robotically lock on to the closest enemy within the path your character is dealing with. You may also assign an Work together key within the beta, which once more would make utilizing a controller a lot simpler.
Whereas it is attainable to make use of a controller by way of an in-game console command (opens in new tab) in Shadowlands, it is in no way intuitive and fairly fiddly to arrange. So if Blizzard is pushing towards extra user-friendly controller help that may solely be a great factor, no matter what occurs with Microsoft.
