PC gamepad questionFollow

Hey all, Really enjoying the new changes, dropped off shortly after release and got back in the beta, definitely going to give it a solid 6 month go in September.

I have a Logitech rumblepad that I was playing and it felt good to use, but I could not figure out how to select my hot bar, was there some verbiage in the options that I was misinterpreting, or do I still need to use the keyboard for actions? I saw lots of hot key options but I was expecting something like selecting the action keys with a menu once I entered into battle.

Thanks!

entirely possible that I missed it. I plugged the gamepad in and it started working. Guess I'll have to wit till the next opportunity to see for sure, thanks for the vid!

You can move and everything, but you can't select a hotbar action.

Or does it keep the memory of the AB layout and use it "in the background" somehow? I was moving around but I never tried using the keyed AB shortcuts while in "PC" mode. When I wanted to I just switched over.
But when tanking in a group I found the controller kind of lacking... solo however, controller all day.

It definitely does, if you are talking about this bar.

That was a screenshot from yesterday on PC, with a wireless 360 controller (to the old wireless 360 receiver for pc).

I found, on my 360 controller at least, that hitting the Back button (Select on traditional controller) would cycle through all UI elements. As to whether it includes hotbars, I can't testify, as I exclusively used the cross hotbar (didn't have enough skills yet to warrant otherwise).

Edit: It definitely won't select the cross hotbar, as that is accessible by pressing a trigger then the associated button. Sounds like you needed to set the input method to Controller as stated above.
