didnt watch that but, using a wii remote to do everything on wow is impossible. Wii controllers suck anyway

WoW consists of entirely clicking. Why is it so unbelievable?

yea, i agree, u can do everything in wow basically using your mouse (except for type) so why can't u do it using a wiimote, they're about the same concept. i saw this done for another game, a shooter... uhm counterstrike i think, although it was extremely slow moving

 

[punwisp]

first person shooter is totally different... this game would be VERY difficult to play with only a wii remote

 

[ArmedCitizen]

You have yet to explain why.

i dont see much of a difference really, in fact at first i thought shooter would be more difficult, WoW seems much easier in concept then the FPS, now you prolly won't play as effectivly as somone with a keyboard, cause of the hotkeys, but u can still play

For 360

Does not work with wireless, unless you have a reciever. (No, charge kits dont work even though they install a driver)

I can't imagine playing WoW with a controller though.

Mainly, you cant type. You cant use hotkeys to open maps and such.

Etc etc.

Plus, its just harder to move around

This is so stupid, Wii sucks so.. no point. Even the 360 controller to play WoW is better. Sorry but no good

Who are you apologizing to?

 

[Oninuva]

The people who thought of this idea.

Best to email the people who wrote the article then.

From a non-biased point of view, why you would want to play WoW on a controller is beyond me, but I would much rather play it with a device that functions somewhat like a mouse rather than a joystick. Have you ever tried using a controller on your PC (as your desktop mouse)? Its very difficult and you cant "flick" the joystick to jump across the screen...

Need to try it first though. I would rather use it for something like Ragdoll Masters

lol?

At level 70 we call these people "clickers" they usually fall into the group called "noobs"

Clicking just isn't fast enough.

Have you tried both? You don't own a Wii.

Uses Darwiin Remote.

I got it working the first time, after that it gave me the error '===== WiiRemoteDiscovery error. If clicking Find Wiimote gives this error, try System Preferences > Bluetooth > Devices, delete Nintendo. (4) =====', even after I deleted the Nintendo on Bluetooth Devices

We can play tennis, baseball now on WoW lol!

Depends entirely on how good you are and the level or organization on your hotbars. With two equaly skilled players, the difference will be minimal, if at all.

The wii however does not have the agility of an average mouse and will greatly reduce your playing quality.

Ok, I got it working again.

Good:
Makes some things easier ( e.g minimizing and maximizing easier (I use this a lot ) Telling your pet to follow/attack)


Bad:
Turning your WoW character is a pain
Right and left clicking makes the mouse appear in the middle of the screen :nuts:


So it is good as a side dish (e.g having the mouse in your right hand and using hotkeys, while you hold the wii remote+nunchucks in the left)

Pretty impossible? Isn't WoW a PC game and a Wii mote only works on the infared connected to the Wii??
