FE8 No-Reset Draft

[charlie_]

Gilliam hates me. 15 turns so far because of it...

[Baldrick]

-It's a slot machine. For all of your complaining about the cheatery of other players, this draft certainly isn't much better. I basically have to HOPE all of my hits connect, or another turn down the drain. I have to HOPE that the enemy doesn't critical me, or woe be me, an 8 turn penalty. I have to make sure my Lords don't die, or you guessed it. It's not encouraging me to play strategically in the least, it's encouraging me to turtle through the levels. Oh wait, that'd probably be impossible too, with my team. That's another thing, if I was doing a normal draft, my team would be pretty awesome.

8 turns is probably too much, but even so, Vanessa is much too fragile; she's definitely not a first-round pick, despite what she can do in terms of turn-shaving.

-It operates an a code of ethics. I could've reset and not gone through the most obnoxious experience in my drafting experience and you wouldn't have been the wiser for it. How does this in ANY way mitigate the problems of RnG abuse? What does this draft do, for that matter, besides making me suffer? I wouldn't have to think more tactically if I was a little more unethical.

To be fair, every draft ever also relies on people not lying.

-Seth should've been free. But that's just my opinion, and needless to say someone's going to reply to this and blabber about how he ruins the point of drafting or whatever.

I agree with this, since not even Seth is RNG-proof.

Not like that matters, this draft does marginalize some picks. Like Pegasus Knights for example. Or anyone who's not Franz.

So don't pick them.

-If you get even one or two deaths, you're basically screwed out of any competitive chance with your fellow draftees. Yeah, nothing motivates me to continue a draft than the feeling that I've already lost.

You're not playing for sheep stations. It will make no difference whatsoever whether you win or lose, and surely you had a reason to join this draft apart from getting get a lower TC than everybody else? That said, you can't discount yourself yet, we haven't seen how the others will fare.

[Refa]

8 turns is probably too much, but even so, Vanessa is much too fragile; she's definitely not a first-round pick, despite what she can do in terms of turn-shaving.

Yeah, that was definetely a stupid decision on my part.

To be fair, every draft ever also relies on people not lying.

I know that, but I thought the creation of this draft was in response to the people who RnG abused and continuously reset or stuff like that for good levels. It's still kind of missing the point there, though.

So don't pick them.

It's just annoying because they're perfectly good in, well, any other style of play, I guess. My picks weren't the best, but my penalties weren't even because of Vanessa. They were because Eirika deemed it fit to get hit by 2 ~35%s and died. That...just doesn't sit right with me.

You're not playing for sheep stations. It will make no difference whatsoever whether you win or lose, and surely you had a reason to join this draft apart from getting get a lower TC than everybody else? That said, you can't discount yourself yet, we haven't seen how the others will fare.

Fair enough (except the losing part, have you SEEN my turncounts). But I feel like this is more tedious than other drafts, because I have to reset if someone dies AND I take a penalty. There's nothing that makes this draft more appealing to me.

[Paperblade]

imo the main thing I would change is that the penalty isn't a flat amount but rather equal to how many turns you had spent prior, so that if you're like "Oh shit I forgot a Door Key" and have to restart on Turn 1 or w/e it's just a slight penalty but if you fuck up halfway through the chapter it's larger.

I don't think Seth should be free

Undrafteds rescue each other and stay north. Eirika goes down with Franz Turn 1. Eirika then puts her Rapier in Convoy and the Steel Sword too, she then buys an Iron Sword. Franz follows her. Ross and Garcia handle themselves pretty well. They cleaned up the east with Ross dodging lethal blows like a baws and taking an archer arrow to the face and surviving with 1 hp. Turn 3, Franz goes down. Eirika gets in range of one of the reinforcements. The reinforcement and the first bandit are attacked in EP. She stays in range of them next turn and attacks and kills the first reinforcement. Franz gets the Pure Water and Cantos. Turn 5, Franz kills the bandit that went after him, and he is now in range of the boss. Franz can 3RKO boss but instead he decides to critblick him in EP. Turn 6 Eirika gets the last bandit by attacking him in PP and finishing it in Turn 6 EP since Franz isnt in range.

OK, since people have been replying to my reaction to this draft, which I feel is perfectly justified, I'll do it over again and see if the problem is indeed with me and not the draft. Or the other way around, who knows? Feel free to give me a penalty of this. Or not, if you're feeling merciful (who am I talking to anyways?). Still, I feel if I can wring some enjoyment out of this draft which honest to god pissed me off the first time around, it'll be a victory for me.

I don't think Seth should be free

Fair enough, I'm just a wimp.

So this was basically just business as usual. I used the same trick everyone and their mother uses to get a 2 turn clear, and I couldn't be more proud of it. Eirika also gets a good level out of the whole deal, so I'm definitely not complaining.

Another cookie cutter solution. Eirika soloed the map whilst getting some truly average levels in the process. But really, in the end, isn't that what Fire Emblem is all about? Yes, yes it is.

Units Available- Eirika, Vanessa

Oh boy, this one was a doozie. So Eirika and Vanessa went south, with Vanessa getting the village so Bonez and his budy would head towards Eirika. She also helped kill a bandit or two, but WTD did not help her much here. Oh, and Eirika gained some fantastic levels!

Chapter 3: 10/23 turns

Resets: 0

Units Available- Eirika, Vanessa

Man, is this one annoying without Garcia to own everyone. Vanessa's way too flimsy to put into any serious danger, and Eirika has to rely on the lower hit rates of WTD to survive. Thankfully my units got good level ups to make up for the middling turncount!

EDIT Oh, and I deleted my save file to add insult to injury. Goddamn it, me!

Killing Edge helped a lot. Franz rushed got the Draco and the Killing Edge. Sending them to Convoy. So eirika could use them. Eirika and Artur struggled a lot. I had to constantly retreat with them and strategically lured the enemies to the starting point. After Eirika had weakened stuff up enough. Artur (who stayed just out of range of everyone except a Hand Axe bandit) and Eirika teamed on the enemies. Franz couldve done his part in 12 turns but a figher didnt chase him, costing me a turn.

Welcome fine reader, to my playthrough of Fire Emblem 8: No Resets Edition! Today is a learning experience for us all! How, you ask? Well, you can learn how a No Resets draft works in practice, although complaints from PKL and myself from the past (who's a real asshole, don't listen to him; I mean me from the past BTW, not PKL, sheesh). I can learn how much suffering I can put myself through. And Space Jesus can learn whether this will save my soul or not.

Let's just say I'm VERY thankful early game throws so many vulneraries at you, because I'm going to need them.

I thought they would try to gang up on Eirika, but apparently they went after Garcia instead. Brilliant!

So I didn't count the number of my turns, so I guess I'll have to wait till endgame to count them.

So how are my characters doing?

A bit more boss than before.

BASE STATS, hellz yeah.

Chapter 3- 14/????

So I had Eirika and Vanessa team up to break the door, and apparently Eirika could've ORKOed this guy with an Iron Sword! Dammit, I should've looked at the stats before doing the wall breaky thing.

Nothing can stop the power of chips!

Vanessa to D7, Eirika to E8, let's go people, make magic happen!

Nothing better than the magic of bad level ups.

Wow, Eirika is actually kind of awesome. Something Lyndis could never aspire to...

And Vanessa killed the bandit! Without taking a hit! Crazy talk, I know!

Best chips damage ever, guys.

Like I said, best chips damage ever, guys.

I better not have to reset because I got hit by 2 27%s...That would be some bullshit, all right. Especially since there's nothing else I can do in this situation and the fact that I'd be punished for it would be well...ARGH.

There's a load off of my back.

Edited February 19, 2012 by Refa

[PKL]

My complaints are because of the desert chapter. I suck, and cant ever beat that chapter in a draft even with millions of resets.

[Refa]

Yeah, I can see how that chapter would be a pain in the ass without resets. Still, it's not THAT bad when you can test out different strategies and see what works, which is unfortunately something a no resets run lacks, forcing you to tank it out in lieu of coming up with neat plans.

Chapter 4- 12/???? turns

I'm not 100% sure, but this may be the very first time in my life that I've used a Pure Water, let alone in FE8. Milestones are being breached here, people!

While I was planning on just letting Vanessa take care of all of these mooks, the 50%s and their evil cousins, the 60%s, did not deem it fit to make that all too easy on me. Short story made shorter, Vanessa ran away while chowing down on those vulneraries.

As shown here!

Pure Water is pretty awesome guys.

Vanessa is even awesomer, guys.

More tanking with a unit who was obviously meant to do no such thing!

Eirika almost getting killed from like 3 20%s. Yeah, fuck you too game. What next, am I going to get killed by a 1% crit? Because that would be the worst.

Vanessa ran out of vulneraries, so she had to steal Asseray's vulneraries to keep her alive.

So let's take another look at my team! My 2 man woman army!

Eirika's doing quite well actually.

As is Vanessa. A few more good levels under my belt and this draft might not kill me in my sleep after all.

Natasha is going to block some AXES with her face. Strangely, such a dumb decision doesn't backfire on me.

PLEASE don't miss.

YES! I will subscribe to the religion of your choice or whatever evil diety you worship that made it so that Joshua missed!

Joshua's turning out really awesome. Guess I'll have to retract my hate of him or something.

Guys, I'm totally going to have Colm steal Caellach's Iron Rune, rescue him, and have Joshua STAB his face with the Killing Edge he starts with. I don't think I've used it yet.

Vanessa makes killing mages easy!

[Baldrick]

I had to see just what the hell you were doing... undrafted penalties stack? That's insane.

[Refa]

Yeah. I'm sorry to have done so mediocrely, but after you die in Chapter 15 on your first move just because the Berserk with less than 30% hit crit blicks you, it's hard to call that anything besides unfair and being punished for it pissed me off.

Not to mention that even without the penalties, my turncount isn't so hot because I had to turtle my way around the maps.

[Baldrick]

Don't get me wrong, I'm not degrading you, I just think the penalties are unbalanced. Every time a unit dies, you're basically forced to take a penalty, since if you go on without them you'll run out of army pretty quickly.

And I still think Seth should be free (at least to a certain point) since he can help cut down on RNG-induced restarts.

I'm still going with this, I just keep forgetting to put them up. Wait until you see my chapter 6...

Dammit, I thought I walked away with a default victory.

Well, here's hoping you do better than I do, man. Not that you'd have to try hard to do that.

I wouldn't count on it bro. My turns are pretty bad too, plus Kyle got 2% critted at one point >.>

[PKL]

Im doing this again!

Chapter 14 8+8+8/idk how many turns.

Fuck. Had to reset once because carlyle crit Franz. Then it was due to Berserk. Last run all went smoothly.

(I actually did this ages ago but forgot to post it) Im now on chapter 15.

[PKL]

Chapter 15 6+8+8+8+8+8/i dont give a fuck anymore turns

FUUUUUUUUUUUUU.

Chapter 16 4/??

Warp. This one was easy, surprisingly. Franz smashed Orson after dropping Eirika.

Chapter 17 2/???

Warp Franz. Profit.

Chapter 18 7+8/???

NO.

Chapter 19 2/???

Warp Franz and smash.

Chapter 20 3+8+8/???

Riev critblicked me twice. Yes, he critblicked me, fuck this game. But otherwise, extreemly easy chapter with WARP.

Final 1 2+8+8+8+8/???

Myrrh decided she likes to be stoned so I had to reset quite a few times. Again, fuck this game.

Final 2 1/???

GLAD THATS OVER.

Final TC is 256 with all the penalties. This draft was stupidly annoying. I'd never do one again. While in paper this seems like a good concept, (bar the ridiculously high penalty for getting Bullshitted by the game but I digress) giving a penalty for mistakes and stuff that went wrong is EXTREMELY flawed and aggravating. I can understand Refa' s rage at this draft, since I did rage a lot too due to unlucky misses that were costly, bullshit crits, etc. IM GLAD THATS OVER.

Chapter 1 Eirika got hit by axe dudes twice in a row.

Chapter 3 Gilliam got doubled and died.

Chapter 5 Gilliam got double crit by Joshua.

Chapter 6 I forgot that enemies could cross mountains. Sorry Moulder!

Chapter 7 Moulder got critkilled by a Merc.

Chapter 7 Gilliam got critkilled and OHKOed by Thunder.

THIS IS FUN GUYS
