Great WoW Add-on Got an Important Update

The developer behind the Narcissus add-on didn't forget about controller supporters among the WoW community. The add-on recently received an update, introducing support for gamepads.

Gamers using a pad to traverse the world World of Warcraft are a minority, but the author of the popular addon Narcissus didn't forget about them. The community is in an uproar and supporters of pads began to think about returning to the game.

What is Narcissus?

Narcissus is the work of one programmer - Peter Yu, who informed about the introduction of support for controllers on his profile on Twitter.

As we can read on the add-on's website, apart from the feature added a few days ago, it introduces three significant changes to the game. These are:

  • Independent character panel in the form of a so-called paper doll, which is to provide players with better immersion;
  • A device for taking screenshots. It enables us to maximize the graphic settings for a while, and as you know - better graphics, better pictures;
  • Inventory display, thanks to which players can export information about their equipment, and at the same time the interface looks a bit neater.

It is thanks to the well-designed interface that Narcissus has stolen the hearts of WoW players who use the good old keyboard and mouse combo.

This group, as I mentioned, will now be joined by controller users, and the add-on in actionis presented below (it is worth noting that the "console" appearance of the main UI comes from ConsolePort, not Narcissus).

A gamepad? In WoW?

Some may be shocked to learn that such an option exists, although after a player completed Elden Ring using bananas nothing should surprise anyone anymore.

In any case, since patch 9.01, which entered World of Warcraft in October 2020, it is possible to play Blizzard's game with full support for controllers.

Before Narcissus was introduced it was also possible to use a gamepad, but you needed mods or applications to do so, such as ConsolePort, xpadder, or Steam (depending on the controller you were using).

Nevertheless, fans rejoiced at the news of Narcissus' update, and the comment below expresses more than a thousand words:

"This developer is a lua god and great at UI design. Blizzard needs to chase him," wrote jmxd
