"When I try to write about Wildstar, I get stuck in a sort of spiral.\u00a0 I don\u2019t really know where to start, because everything refers to some other part.\u00a0 It\u2019s interlaced in a way that reinforces everything. […] So where do I even start?\u00a0 At what point of the spiral do I bring you in, and begin to chart it? Maybe I\u2019ll figure it out if I log in and play this <\/i>instant<\/i><\/b>."<\/i><\/p>\n

Yeah. It's pretty much like that.<\/p>\n

For me, Wildstar has created one of those vanishingly rare #gaming<\/a> situations where, if I have a question about how something works, I would rather log in and spend two hours playing with that thing to figure it out… than take twenty seconds looking up an answer.<\/p>\n

I'm still looking for the element or aspect of play – a class, a path, a trade, something – that I can point at and say "There. I do not enjoy that. I would not want to play a character with that as a core facet."<\/p>\n

I have eight 'main' characters because so far, I haven't found it.?<\/p><\/div>\n
