We've got an exciting update for you after today's maintenance from 5pm PDT - 5:30pm PDT. In this update, we'll be introducing one of the most commonly requested features: New controls! Along with the new keyboard and mouse controls, gamepad controls are also now supported for Dragons and Titans. Simply plug in your favorite gaming controller and you're set.
The new controls scheme introduces click to move with auto-targeting of the closest enemy. You can now strafe opponents and will not be limited to simply flying backwards while firing. The defaults are as follows for the new controls scheme: Mouse Left Click fires your dragon's breath attack as in the original legacy controls. Mouse Right Click controls your dragon's movement with 'click to move'. Click once to fly to the selected area or click and hold to maintain continuous flight towards the targeting reticle. Shift stops your flight and moves your dragon's head to face the cursor, no matter where it is on the screen. Spacebar changes your target to the enemy closest to you. Mouse Left Clicking directly on an enemy will target the selected enemy. The numbers 1-5 will still upgrade your dragon and weapon abilities as in legacy mode and QWER will activate your abilities in battle exactly as before. If you want, you can remap the keys in the Option Menu with the new Key Binding system. Simply press F10 to bring up the Options Menu and click Controls. You can remap the keys in all of the control schemes including the gamepad controls. The Options Menu allows you to also toggle between the new controls and legacy mode. As a gentle reminder, any change to the controls you've been using will definitely feel strange to you at first, so we recommend you play several matches in Single Player or Adventure Mode to retrain your brain and finger memory before heading into PvP! Maintenance begins at 5pm PDT (that's in about 2 hours). Enjoy the new controls and let us know what you think after you've tried it out for a while!
