PADChat
PADChat is inspired by the Tribes 2-style Voice Game System (VGS) and allows for quick-chat in World of Warcraft for gamepad and controller players. Send tactical callouts, group readiness checks, and social emotes in seconds—without ever touching a keyboard.
Why?
I've played World of Warcraft with a controller for many years and have always found communicating with other players to be the biggest drawback. With the adoption of controller use with the release of World of Warcraft: Forever this addon is my attempt to ease that frustration. I hope it helps you!
