Gamepad support reaches a functional beta state

Blizzard’s notes call gamepad support “a functional Beta state”: all major gameplay and the core interface in Forever, from movement and spells to interactions and menus, can be played with a controller. Its settings live in Edit Mode and the Options menu.

The notes’ gamepad changes touch targeting (friendly corpses and critters can be targeted, and enemy players are picked by hostile analog targeting whatever their PvP flag), inventory (clearer bag states, remaining space and ammo indicators, improved navigation), flight paths (ending one early with the Back/Cancel action), pets, professions, quests and tooltips. Several Lua errors that could occur while using a gamepad alongside bags, trades or quest details are also fixed.

Why it matters: you can play Forever’s main systems on a controller from launch, though Blizzard still calls gamepad support a beta.
