Diablo 2 Resurrected tech Alpha went live today and https://www.twitch.tv/fextralife was testing out the controller support.
it looks pretty damn good. controller will never match the speed of mouse + kb but looking at this this seems about as good as grim dawn or diablo III controller support.
Things that LE desperately needs:
- proximity based interaction / item pick up aka press A to do the thing. with a proper loot filter this becomes super good because you won't be tiptoeing around trying to pick up the thing you want
- none of this combat cursor bullsh*t. cast in direction or at auto target. skills like lunge already auto target slightly past the edge of the screen there's no reason this should be a problem to implement
- toggleable cursor / cursor for UI interaction ONLY. binding "select" as the cursor toggle has always worked well for me.
- easy drop/equip options in menu (hover over item press X to drop Y to equip etc...)
- use of LB/LT as a "shift" modifier for keybinding - this is crucial to make sure players who seriously want to go solo controller can have enough bindings for all the commands
