A poster in another group asked if CoH supported joypads and I said I
would ask in here. So, does CoH support joypads?

Lynely :O)

You could probably name a heroine named Joy Pads.

I have no idea if it does or not, but from my experience in playing CoH, I
don't think you COULD play it very well with a gamepad. The game is just
too complex to be able to control without a bunch of keyboard keys.


Btw, that's what they are called, not "joypad." It's "gamepad" or
"joystick" but not "joypad". "Joypad" makes my skin crawl. Thank you, this
has been a public service announcement. BTW, I'm pretty sure the guy that
came up with the name "joystick" was a perv.

If this was under UNIX I'd say anything could support a joypad
because you could just remap the input events fairly easily to
type individual keys.

Perhaps Windows has software that does something similar?

Why in the world would you want a joypad anyway? It's far easier
to select your powers through keys.

God, I hope not.

Fun Fact of the Day: In exit polls at the election 2004 the percentage of American
voters citing moral and ethical values as their prime concern was 22 percent,
continuing a trend of *decreasing* perceived importance of morals: In the 2000
election 35 percent cited morals & ethical values as their prime concern, and in
1996 a whopping 40%, almost twice as many as in 2004.
(Bet you hadn't gotten that impression from the press, had you?)

I don't, aguy over in the marvel NG has only ever played on consoles
and is used to joypads, that's what we call 'em down here so I am
gonna stick with it. He started up on CoH and wanted to know if he
could use a pad. SInec I lurk here and he doesn't, I thought I'd be
friendly and find out for him.
