Line #89 Webcomic/DarkLegacyComics


1	''[[http://www.darklegacycomics.com/index.html Dark Legacy Comics]]'' is a ''VideoGame/WorldOfWarcraft''-based {{Webcomic}}, maintained by Arad Keydar. It follows the adventures of Keydar's guild, [[TitleDrop Dark Legacy]] (which the author left in-game since the webcomic's creation). The regular cast includes the creator's character, Keydar, a human [[FragileSpeedster rogue]], Gigzara (or Gigz), an elven priest with a HairTriggerTemper, Mijikai and Narya, respectively a gnome warrior and mage, Nyteblade (or Nyte), Narya's human rogue wife, Krom, a rather grumpy human paladin, and Donald, an increasingly [[TheDitz stupid]] representation of the {{Noob}} player.
2
3	The comic usually sticks to the gag-per-day/week format, however there have been two major arcs: ''The Horace Hypocrisy'' - which details what would happen if the [[NonPlayerCharacter [=NPCs=]]] started a revolution - and ''Bill #307a'', in which Keydar helps The Society For The Betterment of [=NPCs=] pass a bill which outlaws the killing of any NPC. As a result of the guild's favourite [[LevelGrinding game mechanics]], [[NiceJobBreakingItHero Keydar quickly realizes that was a bad idea]].

5	----
6	!! This show provides examples of:
7	* AchievementsInIgnorance: [[https://www.darklegacycomics.com/747 Donald]] dies to one of the intro tutorials, and it wasn't even the combat tutorial. [[TooDumbToLive Donald meets a bloody end to the tutorial showing you where to place your hands on the keyboard and mouse,]] [[BeyondTheImpossible something which has no ability to harm the player what so ever]].
8	%%* AerithAndBob
9	* AllegedlyFreeGame: While [=WoW=] isn't one, being subscription-based, the problem with these is discussed [[http://www.darklegacycomics.com/412 here]].
10	* AllJustADream /DeusExMachina: Lampshaded [[http://darklegacycomics.com/200.html here.]]
11	* AlternateSelf: The group's Horde counterparts: Krüm (Krom), Gugz (Gigz), Ronald (Donald), Mojo (Miji) and Norbo (Narya). Nyte's undead counterpart and Keydar's orc counterpart are so far unnamed.
12	* AnnoyingVideoGameHelper: [[invoked]] [[http://www.darklegacycomics.com/360.html Keydar]] [[InUniverse has trouble]] with his Shado-Pan partner, so he sets her up with an even worse partner.
13	* AppealToWorseProblems: Miji is planning his Holloween costume to scientifically optimize candy intake, but Narya complains that he's ignoring the issue of bill 307a, which bans the killing of [=NPCs=], thus disrupting Azeroth's economy. Miji gets so fed up that he gets King Varian to repeal the bill, so he can get back to Franchise/{{Godzilla}} [[Series/SesameStreet Elmo]].
14	* ArmorPiercingQuestion: ''Donald'', [[TheDitz of all people]], gives a [[http://darklegacycomics.com/394.html brutal one]] to Nyte and Krom. It was totally unintentional, but still...
15	--> '''Nyte''': Donald, we can't take [your stupidity] anymore, we just can't.
16	--> '''Krom''': You're always screwing around, you barely comprehend the simplest of directions, what the hell are you doing with your life?
17	--> '''Donald''': I am playing a video game and it is fun and I am having fun! Why, what is you doing with your lives?
18	--> ''[[BeatPanel beat]]''
19	--> '''Nyte and Krom''': [[HeroicBSOD look of sheer My-God-What-AM-I-Doing-With-My-Life]]
20	* ArtEvolution: The first comics were generally made up of simply drawn characters on a plain white background, but since then the art has become a lot better, and nicer to look at. For an example, see one of the [[http://www.darklegacycomics.com/19.html updated comics]] above the original.
21	* ArtifactTitle: The guild Dark Legacy that gave the name to the comic no longer exists in-game, and many of its former members -- including many the players who were the inspiration for their namesake characters -- have stopped playing.
22	* AscendedExtra: Horace and Gretta started out as minor characters, appearing in gags centered around ProtagonistCenteredMorality, and ended up becoming the driving force for the [=NPC=] rebellion story arc.
23	* AsideGlance: "What do you think this is, some kind of [[http://www.darklegacycomics.com/297.html badly written melodrama]]?!"
24	* AuthorAvatar: {{Justified\|Trope}}, in that Keydar is the creator's character.
25	* AxCrazy: Gigz absolutely ''delights'' in butchering anything and ''[[ImAHumanitarian anyone]]'' in her "Gigz's Kitchen" strips.
26	** CruellaToAnimals: In [[http://www.darklegacycomics.com/403.html this]] strip, Gigz mentions that the happier something (in this case, a young calf) is before you kill and eat it, the tastier it will be. Narya tries to stop this by intentionally trying to make the calf cry, but Gigz just says that intense grief, while not as tasty as happiness, is still pretty good.
27	* BadassAdorable: [[http://www.darklegacycomics.com/279.html Miji's past self,]] from when the comic characters [[ArtEvolution were still drawn super-deformed]]. The clones also count as they are clones of Miji's past self.
28	* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: [[http://www.darklegacycomics.com/375.html 8 years ago]], Keydar made a wish that he'd have all the gold he desires, today he's cursing that wish as all his [[RandomDrop loot rolls]] are giving him gold instead of the loot he wants.
29	* BerserkButton: ''Never'' tell Donald that a raid boss ate Santa. [[http://www.darklegacycomics.com/319.html Here's]] [[GoneHorriblyRight why.]]
30	* BlessedWithSuck: In Northrend, [[http://www.darklegacycomics.com/165.html Horace gets promoted]] to an important [=NPC=] role, and it comes with perks like automatic respawn, instead of Gretta having to [[http://www.darklegacycomics.com/127.html pay resurrection fees]]. Unfortunately, instead of being a mob for a [[MassMonsterSlaughterSidequest Kill # of X type]] quest, "Foreman Horace" is a specific target, with the added insult that players spit on him after killing him, [[ButThouMust as per the quest objective]].
31	* BreakingSpeech: Nyte delivers a ''mean'', [[http://darklegacycomics.com/466 two-minute long one to the complainers]].
32	** On another occasion she deliberately gives one to a [=PVPer=] who won't stop criticizing everyone else. Afterwards, Gigz tells her that when she told Nyte to "break him", she meant his legs.
33	* BribingYourWayToVictory: [[http://www.darklegacycomics.com/412.html Free-to-play sucks.]]
34	* BrickJoke: Fred, the boot introduced in [[http://www.darklegacycomics.com/128.html this]] comic, is finally freed from Donald after [[http://www.darklegacycomics.com/142.html Narya's attempt to repair his hat goes a little awry.]] [[http://www.darklegacycomics.com/380.html Seen again when Miji loots him off Horace.]]
35	* BrokenAce: Krom started out as a good player and decently motivated raid leader for Dark Legacy, albeit it was mentioned that he was the only raid leader in Vanilla and [[TheAlcoholic it caused him to start drinking a lot]]. His slow descent in depression and cynicism over the years can be seen in [[https://www.darklegacycomics.com/525 this strip]].
36	* ButtMonkey: If something comically bad is going to happen to someone, about 70% of time it'll be Keydar, the other 30% is Narya. granted most of the time they bring it on themselves.
37	* CerebusRetcon: In [[https://www.darklegacycomics.com/849 #849 "Forever Young"]], Donald's perpetual immaturity is revealed to be a result of him being played by a succession of children in the same family after their elders grow up.
38	* ChildishToothGap: In [[https://www.darklegacycomics.com/849 "Forever Young"]], Peter, Donny and their little brother each have one at the time they start playing their father's character. By the time they grow up and stop playing, the gap is gone.
39	* ClothingReflectsPersonality [=/=] ExpressiveShirt: Donald's outfit reflects his stupidity and emotional state. It goes from disheveled to proper when he [[http://www.darklegacycomics.com/267.html temporarily gains intelligence]], [[http://darklegacycomics.com/170.html and vice versa]], and the picture of the cat matches whatever emotion he's feeling. This extends to [[http://darklegacycomics.com/288.html Ronald]], Donald's Horde counterpart.
40	* ComicallyMissingThePoint: [[http://www.darklegacycomics.com/382.html Donald's attempt at healing]] involves bandages, lots and lots of bandages, as opposed to [[spoiler:the healing spells that priests]] have. Nyte and Krom chew him out after they get killed as the bandages are too weak, so Donald promises not to use them again, and switches from linen bandages to wool bandages.
41	* ContinuityNod: [[http://www.darklegacycomics.com/307.html Here]] we see Miji trying to kill a kobold with a sword that his [[http://www.darklegacycomics.com/299.html clones looted in the Firelands]] some months prior.
42	* CoolAndUnusualPunishment: [[InvokedTrope Invoked]] in "[[https://www.darklegacycomics.com/374 Raid Warnings]]". Nyte gave one to one of her guild members, after he boasted one too many times that he was better at DPS, and that he expected better from raid leaders. He did have [[OhCrap the intelligence to realize his mistake]]:
43	--> '''Krom''': Jesus. You made him the raid leader for the rest of the night?
44	--> '''Nyte''': Nothing in the guild charter prohibits cruel and unusual punishment.
45	* CriticalFailure: In World Of Warcraft, engineer-made gadgets have a slim chance of critically malfunctioning whenever they are used. Notably, the [[BlatantLies Ultrasafe]] Transporter has a high probability of critical failures, including transporting you a hundred yards in the air over your expected arrival point. This is parodied [[http://www.darklegacycomics.com/47.html here]].
46	-->'''Narya:''' Nothing says 'engineering' like a 20% chance to fail.
47	* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: Donald. Getting him to be an effective fighter only works once a year... ''luckily.''
48	* CruelMercy: Gretta did not kill Horace for his trip down the slippery slope during the NPC rebellion and instead chose a more "sophisticated" solution. [[spoiler: He was forced to work at the daycare center babysitting the young [=NPCs=]. [[MyFriendsAndZoidberg And Donald.]]]]
49	* DidntThinkThisThrough: [[http://www.darklegacycomics.com/110.html Keydar becomes a quest giver]], thinking it'll make him rich, but Miji points out the quest givers pay the [=PCs=], so how's he supposed to get rich? Worse, the quest is an escort quest through an Orc camp, and if the [=PC=] fails, then Keydar gets stuck in the middle of hostile territory. Before Keydar can change his mind, Miji accepts the quest, forcing Keydar to blindly walk into a bunch of Orcs.
50	* TheDitz: Donald.
51	* DragonTheirFeet: After Miji uses his clone army to take over, the rest of the group kills his clones and takes Miji down. Krom and Nyte wonder if they got all the clones, it turns out they [[http://www.darklegacycomics.com/305.html missed #1 and #2]], because Donald rescued them thinking they were orphans.
52	* EmergencyFoodSupplyAnimal: When killing [=NPCs=] becomes illegal, the player characters are eventually forced to come up with alternate sources of meat... such as their (or other people's) mounts, which are not classified as [=NPCs=]. Their high cost keeps them from being a reliable source of food, though.
53	* ExtremeOmnivore: [[http://www.darklegacycomics.com/723 Gigz]] eats [[spoiler:[[DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu N'Zoth!]]]]
54	--> '''Gigz''': needs more pepper...
55	* FalseDichotomy: Smart!Marmalade doesn't like the "or" in "[[http://www.darklegacycomics.com/262.html Trick or Treat]]".
56	* FantasticFantasyIsMundane: In "Crush", the gang play ''Cubicles and Condos''. One of the players has to be reminded that real-world solutions like smiting your enemies with a greataxe don't work so well in the world of the game.
57	* FireBreathingDiner: The clones get a serious case of this when they [[http://www.darklegacycomics.com/331.html eat some peppers]] from Gigz's garden.
58	* {{Flanderization}}: Donald was originally just a character representing a terrible player and throughout the run of the comic, has become a hopeless ManChild [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking with a]] SpeechImpediment.
59	** Apparently his ManChild persona was [[spoiler:caused by freak time-travel accident]]. [[http://www.darklegacycomics.com/298.html]]
60	** Another comic shows he apparently really is a child in real life.
61	* FlatWhat: Narya's response to Donald's attempt at SymbolSwearing.
62	* FlowersForAlgernonSyndrome: Donald gets one [[http://www.darklegacycomics.com/170.html here]]
63	* FountainOfYouth: [[http://www.darklegacycomics.com/100.html Used in "The Quest Chain" arc]].
64	* FourFingeredHands: [[http://www.darklegacycomics.com/258.html Explained here.]]
65	* FryingPanOfDoom: [[http://www.darklegacycomics.com/301.html Gigz]] can DualWield them.
66	* FunnyBackgroundEvent: In [[http://www.darklegacycomics.com/134.html this]] comic, Narya and Krom discuss a previous arc while Donald ballet dances in the background.
67	* FurryConfusion: Donald sees a [[http://www.darklegacycomics.com/291.html tauren eating a hamburger]], and thinks he's a [[ImAHumanitarian cannibal]].
68	* GameplayAndStorySegregation: In regards to World of Warcraft, the characters of Dark Legacy Comics take actions that would be improbable, if not outright impossible to do in the actual game. On specific note is [[spoiler:Donald being mistaken for a Warrior. He's actually a Priest, which is revealed when Krom takes a look at his talents to help him do better damage. However, Priests are unable to wear armor nor wield shields (which Donald does), and everyone should be able to see what his class is when mousing over him, or simply by looking at his class color (white for Priests, brown for Warriors) in any of the [=DPS=] meters that crop up often during the strips focusing on raiding or other high-end content that Donald manages to partake in.]]
69	* GenderBender: In another bid to finally rid himself of his baldness (having failed to do so with the worgen curse), Narya attempts the new ''Shadowlands'' barber shop option [[https://www.darklegacycomics.com/744 to switch genders]]. [[EpicFail There's still a bald spot.]]
70	* GhostPlanet: When the clones unleash the [[ZombieApocalypse Scourge]] on Azeroth, Mijikai and Donald are the only ones left. [[http://www.darklegacycomics.com/378.html Miji recognizes]] what a golden opportunity this is, as no other players means no competition in [[PlayerVersusPlayer battlegrounds]], [[FishingMinigame fishing tournaments]] and [[RandomEncounters rare spawns]].
71	* GirlfriendInCanada: When [[http://www.darklegacycomics.com/495 Gigz and Nyte]] are comparing their [[{{Sidekick}} bodyguards]], Donald chimes in that he has a bodyguard too. Since said bodyguard isn't around, the pair thinks he's making it up, with Gigz even saying she lives in Canada. The bodyguard turns out to be very real, and due to [[CloudCuckoolander Donald being Donald]], he chose one of the [[CoolBoat boats from his naval fleet]] as his bodyguard.
72	* GirlOnGirlIsHot: Or it would be if it [[http://www.darklegacycomics.com/9.html happens]].
73	* GivingThemTheStrip: [[http://www.darklegacycomics.com/324.html Clone protocol 18]].
74	* GoneHorriblyRight: In one [[http://darklegacycomics.com/458 strip]] Narya invents goggles that let him see other people's chat panels. He ends up burning them after some of the things he reads.
75	* GoofyPrintUnderwear: Donald wears these, as revealed when [[https://www.darklegacycomics.com/300 the clones knock him out and take his clothes]].
76	* HairTodayGoneTomorrow: Poor Narya. On two occasions he was de-aged with water from the FountainOfYouth, the first time it showed him with more hair on his head, but still bald on the top. On the second time, he intends to drink himself to his teenage years before he lost any hair, and he still had male pattern baldness. Summarized nicely [[http://www.darklegacycomics.com/230.html here]].
77	* HalfBreedDiscrimination: [[http://www.darklegacycomics.com/234.html Flo was a goblin]] who taunted other NPC races because she was getting an upgrade to PC status with the Cataclysm. When she gets called out by a worgen, [[AssholeVictim who bites her]], she calls racism when it turns out "[[HalfHumanHybrid woblins]]" need not apply.
78	* HeartwarmingInHindsight: As dumb as Donald was, knowing the reason for his antics (see LegacyCharacter below) makes his story this.
79	* HighTurnoverRate: Dark Legacy has a [[http://www.darklegacycomics.com/350.html high turnover rate]], due to how {{Jerkass}} [[WhyWeCantHaveNiceThings the core group is]].
80	* HoistByHisOwnPetard: Donald's [[https://www.darklegacycomics.com/152 "guide to raiding"]] has two noteworthy rules. Rule #1: Follow the people who actually know the strat. Rule #3: [[KnowNothingKnowItAll Pretend to know what you're doing.]] Overdoing rule #3 can lead to other Donald-like raiders to fall for it and follow ''him'' instead, violating rule #1.
81	* HurtFootHop: When Donald [[http://darklegacycomics.com/193.html stubs his toe on a rock]], he hops and holds his foot, yelling, "[[SymbolSwearing And dollars at star number!]]"
82	* HypocriticalHumor: When Narya builds another rocket to fly to space, he intends to pay someone to test it for him. Krom says no one is going to put throw themselves into certain death for monetary gain; Nerya then calls him out because he raids.
83	--> '''Narya''': So how many times did you [[TotalPartyKill wipe]] in last night's raid again?
84	* IfYouDieICallYourStuff: The closest thing to true death for a PC is to quit the game, so when one of [[http://www.darklegacycomics.com/58.html Keydar's friends]] is about to unsubscribe, he acts really nice to her; when she says she already gave away her gold, then he moves onto someone else who's about to quit.
85	* IgnoredEpiphany: Keydar and Narya have been screwing up so much that Krom brings in [[https://www.darklegacycomics.com/822 two Horde players to replace them]]. Keydar wonders if they need to prepare for fights and practice the mechanics, but Narya wants to restart the Horde/Alliance war so that the new recruits are forced out and Keydar agrees that's much easier.
86	* IHaveBoobsYouMustObey: [[http://www.darklegacycomics.com/59.html Mijikai]] is annoying another player with various emoticons, so she responds with a "flash boobs" emoticon, which shuts him down real quick.
87	* ImAHumanitarian: Gigz is a night elf. Most of her recipes involve cooking druids, which are usually other night elves, or feeding gnomes to Miji, who's a gnome. This started off as a joke and has slowly gotten more frightening over time.
88	* ImpossibleInsurance: Keydar's health insurance doesn't cover broken collarbones, in fact, they just take a monthly fee and [[http://www.darklegacycomics.com/235.html never make payouts]].
89	* InCaseOfXBreakGlass: [[https://www.darklegacycomics.com/775 A murloc]] has one marked "in case of questors break glass". The item inside is a yellow exclamation point which the murloc uses to [[BreakingTheFourthWall impersonate a quest giver]], so that the questor doesn't think it's a [[TwentyBearAsses quest target]].
90	* ImprobableInfantSurvival: When Narya and Keydar notice that children are immune to damage, Keydar thinks that if they were children they could easily beat Mythic Raids. Narya says children can't deal damage either, so they try plan B: [[http://www.darklegacycomics.com/518 wear the children as armor]].
91	* INeedAFreakingDrink: Krom as a result of being the raid leader.
92	* InfiniteCanvas: [[http://www.darklegacycomics.com/370.html #370]] is a single panel comic starting in space, decending through the atmosphere to the ground, past several caves and tunnels, and then out of the world into a white void.
93	%%* {{Jerkass}}: Krom, mostly from constantly being the OnlySaneMan.
94	* JustEatGilligan: Offered [[http://www.darklegacycomics.com/323.html here]] as a way of getting rid of the slackers in the raid, as stat-boosting food they'd at least be useful.
95	* LamePunReaction: #2 has a problem with bag space because he never throws anything away, so he comes up with a plan to put bags in his bags, and more bags in those bags, essentially creating infinite bag space, which crashes the server. Kaydar says he did it "FOR THE '''''HOARD'''''". Nyte is not amused.
96	* LawOfDisproportionateResponse: [[http://www.darklegacycomics.com/579 Kil'jaeden]] is discussing the next phase of the Burning Legion's invasion of Azeroth. After [[RapePillageAndBurn burning their cities and pillaging their lands]], he decides to invade at times inconvenient to their work schedules. This pisses off the player base.
97	-->'''Kil'jaeden''' (facing an angry mob): "[[MyGodWhatHaveIDone I went too far.]]"
98	* LegacyCharacter: Donald, as of [[https://www.darklegacycomics.com/849 "Forever Young"]]. First played by his father in 2004, who had to give up to help his wife with family responsibilities, the character was then picked up by the original Donald's eldest son Peter in 2006. As Peter grew up, he also gave up the game when he got ''VideoGame/{{Minecraft}}'' for his birthday, but then Peter's younger son [[MeaningfulName Donny]] picked up where he left off from 2012 to 2018, where his father gave him ''VideoGame/{{Fortnite}}'' for his birthday. Ever since, the character Donald has been played by Peter and Donny's younger brother, who is the youngest of the family. Krom and Nyte rejoice at the knowledge that there is no child that will come after the latest Donald... [[HereWeGoAgain only for his baby nephew to start playing as he's unpacking his new PS5 in 2023.]]
99	* LethalChef: While Gigz's food is quite good, the method's she uses to procure it [[IAmAHumanitarian are quite lethal]].
100	* LethalJokeItem: Narya's [[http://www.darklegacycomics.com/265.html Flocculent Manacles]], a pair of fuzzy handcuffs; Krom thinks they're just a silly novelty item, while Marmalade manages to [[DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu incinerate Deathwing]] with them!
101	* LetUsNeverSpeakOfThisAgain: In "[[http://www.darklegacycomics.com/361.html Mr. Krom Goes to Hell]]", Gigz and Keydar trick Krom into joining a [[PickUpGroup Looking For Raid group]], a horrible place filled with other players who are as incompetant as Donald. Once it's over, Krom tells Donald to never speak of this.
102	* LoopholeAbuse: Bill 307a prohibited [=PCs=] from harming [=NPCs=], but said nothing about [=NPCs=] hurting other [=NPCs=], so Krom pretended to be [[http://www.darklegacycomics.com/208.html Edwin [=VanCleef=]]] so he could taunt Horace.
103	* LootDrama (InUniverse): Back in ''Vanilla'', [[http://www.darklegacycomics.com/531 Keydar accused Nyte]] of abusing her position as loot master to get loot as they were both rogues and competed over the same [[RandomDrop drops]]. When [=WoW=] added personal loot where the computer gives out the loot, Nyte loves it.
104	* ManIFeelLikeAWoman: [[http://www.darklegacycomics.com/62.html Mijikai]] finds a bag of potions and tries some, which cause him to turn into various things: a skeleton, a pirate, a furbolg, a trogg, and a female Blood Elf. He locks himself in his house for days.
105	* MeaningfulName:
106	** Mijikai means 'short' in Japanese (though not used in the context of size).
107	** Narya is one of the Rings of Power in ''Literature/TheLordOfTheRings'', specifically the Ring of Fire. Narya is a fire mage.
108	* MediumAwareness: The characters in the comic are fully aware they are [[PlayerCharacter PCs]] and [[NonPlayerCharacter NPCs]] in ''VideoGame/WorldOfWarcraft'', they can also be seeing playing with the [[http://www.darklegacycomics.com/307.html quest giver icons]] and their own [[http://www.darklegacycomics.com/317.html name plates]].
109	* MeetYourEarlyInstallmentWeirdness: Miji and Narya end up in five years in the past thanks to a time machine, where they are puzzled by a featureless white space for a background as well as their own SuperDeformed selves from the comic's beginning. And because just meeting his early installment weirdness apparently isn't quite [[MindScrew Mind Screwy]] enough, Miji decides to ''Adopt'' his EarlyInstallmentWeirdness-self, taking his past-self back into the present with him, in spite of Narya's protests.
110	* MilesGloriosus: [[MeaningfulName Douchè the Death Knight and Tòxîc the Rogue]] enjoy boasting about how they are elite players, criticizing other raid members and even the raid leaders on their performance. While Tòxîc is poor in both playing ability and disposition, managing to stay in the guild only because of who he knows, Douchè isn't a terrible player - not nearly as good as he claims himself to be, but [[https://www.darklegacycomics.com/408 he's classified as "Decent Player - Poor Disposition"]]. [[BrilliantButLazy If he spent less time being self-absorbed, he could actually be useful to the group]].
111	* MirrorSelf: It turns out that the characters have mirror selves on the other side. The protagonists are Alliance characters in ''World of Warcraft'', so their mirror selves are Horde. This makes [[http://darklegacycomics.com/287.html at least one character frustrated]] and at least [[http://darklegacycomics.com/288.html one (*2) character(s) happy]].
112	* MistakenForAnImposter: The clones [[http://www.darklegacycomics.com/311.html don't understand Halloween]], and spend the day unmasking the other characters in their costumes, by pulling off their fake heads. They then meet a real Pandaren Monk, [[HilarityEnsues hilarity]] [[FlayingAlive and a real painful death]] [[HilarityEnsues ensue]].
113	* MistakenForPedophile: [[http://www.darklegacycomics.com/123.html Narya ends up in prison]] when a guard thinks he's a pedophile because Nyte (his wife) has been turned into a child. He proves his innocence when he decurses Nyte back into an adult, but she was playing with [[RoyalBrat Prince Anduin]] at the time, and she gets [[http://www.darklegacycomics.com/132.html thrown in jail]].
114	* MoneyDearBoy: [[http://www.darklegacycomics.com/384.html Arad was away from his computer]] and couldn't do a comic that week, so instead he posted a bunch of sketches he did, until a sketch of #2 appears and tells him his sketches are boring. He argues that he has a life outside the comic, but #2 asks if "real life" gets ad revenue.
115	* MultipleChoicePast: PlayedForLaughs with both [[https://www.darklegacycomics.com/795 Keydar]] and [[https://www.darklegacycomics.com/594 Nyte]], for exactly the same reason.
116	* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: Keydar and Gigz see some children pretending to be adventurers and think they are being good role models for them, but then the kids pretend to quest and kill gnomes for money, [[http://www.darklegacycomics.com/355.html and they realize what poor role models they are]].
117	* [[NeverTrustAHairTonic Never Trust A Hair-Growth Gun]]: Miji learned this the hard way. [[spoiler: And then the trope was subverted when Narya found out it ''does'' work, as long as it is aimed at one's scalp.]]
118	* NinjaLooting: [[http://www.darklegacycomics.com/22.html With genuine ninjas.]]
119	* NominalHero: Except for [[GoodIsDumb Donald]], pretty much everyone is looking out for themselves rather than fighting for the greater good. When [[https://www.darklegacycomics.com/733 Keydar]] arrives in the Shadowlands and the Kyrian try to recruit him to their cause, his only concern is how their buffs will improve his [=DPS=].
120	* NoRespectGuy: [[http://www.darklegacycomics.com/392.html Krom]] gets fed up with healing as it's a thankless job, so he takes up tanking, only to find out that tanking gets even less respect. He respecs to [=DPS=] as he'd rather keep his sanity.
121	* NotMakingThisUpDisclaimer: Yes he really did take a boat to Stonetalon Mountains, and he's got a [[http://www.darklegacycomics.com/23.html screenshot]] to prove it.
122	* NotSoDifferentRemark: [[http://www.darklegacycomics.com/346.html Keydar's depressing realization]] that the gearing cycle is just as pointless as Donald's crafting achievements, except Donald doesn't mind the pointlessness of the whole thing.
123	* NotWorthKilling: [[http://www.darklegacycomics.com/380.html This bandicoon]] is just a critter, overshadowed by [[{{Mon}} battle pets]], who are overshadowed by [[{{Mook}} mobs]], who are overshadowed by [[UniqueEnemy rare mobs]]. By the end of the comic the rare was killed since he was a rare, the mob was killed as a quest target, and the battle pet was caught (by Donald), while the bandicoon gets loved for an achievement.
124	* OldMaid: {{Invoked\|Trope}} by [[https://www.darklegacycomics.com/527 one of the strip's titles]] in which Nyte [[HeroicBSOD breaks down for an hour after she realizes that she's spent over a decade playing World of Warcraft]].
125	* OnlySaneMan: Krom, occasionally Nyte as well.
126	* OhCrap: Narya when he realizes Mijikai didn't know Darnassus was built atop a giant tree. [[spoiler: Miji creates a tidal wave by cannonballing off Teldrassil.]]
127	* OutOfCharacterAlert: [[http://www.darklegacycomics.com/316.html The clones]] try to cheer up Miji by telling him that [[BlatantLies Krom has cancelled tonight's raid]]; Miji knows that "Krom", "cancel" and "raid" do not belong in the same sentence.
128	* PlotlineDeath: {{Discussed\|Trope}} [[http://www.darklegacycomics.com/227.html here]] when Miji and Narya watch a cutscene of an NPC who sacrifices herself to seal an evil portal, telling Gigz that she can't be revived because it's part of the story. Gigz then tries to [[InvokedTrope invoke]] this on Krom by pretending that his latest death was part of a cutscene.
129	* PrecisionFStrike: Coming from a ''boot'', of all things when [[http://www.darklegacycomics.com/128.html Donald becomes its new owner]].
130	%%* PrematurelyBald: [[http://www.darklegacycomics.com/99.html Poor Narya.]]
131	* ProfessionalSlacker: [[http://www.darklegacycomics.com/667 Gigz and Nyte]] do their daily quests with the least amount of effort possible. They go out to fight evil, but only ''4'' evils as that's all they need to qualify for the daily reward, and they take only the fastest and easiest quests, going so far to tell Magni Bronzebeard to not give them "absorb" or "mining" quests.
132	* ReversePsychology: [[http://www.darklegacycomics.com/681 Krom]] just can't get the raid [[SurroundedByIdiots to follow orders]], they always seem to do the opposite of what he says, so Nyte jokes that he should tell them to "stand in the fire". With the pair thinking it's CrazyEnoughToWork, [[ThrowTheDogABone Dark Legacy wins their server's Mythic Battle of Dazar'alor race.]]
133	* ReviveKillsZombie: After playing ''Franchise/FinalFantasy'' Keydar tries this on the [[http://www.darklegacycomics.com/68.html Forsaken]]; [[SubvertedTrope it doesn't work]].
134	* RoadTripAcrossTheStreet: Narya tells Miji that flying is enabled in Draenor, which is convenient as he needs to deliver some Neural Silencers to Krom; so instead of walking, he can fly... [[http://www.darklegacycomics.com/503 to the mailbox across the road]].
135	* RodentsOfUnusualSize: Narya gets disguised as one in order to infiltrate the Society for the Betterment of [=NPCs=]. Gretta proceeds to [[InvokedTrope quote the trope almost verbatim]] after making the "rat" [[http://www.darklegacycomics.com/199.html a little more visually appealing.]]
136	* RougeAnglesOfSatin: [[http://www.darklegacycomics.com/41.html Parodied]].
137	* RoyalBrat: [[http://darklegacycomics.com/281.html Prince Anduin]] eventually grew into this, probably because of [[http://darklegacycomics.com/211.html the abuse]] the rest of the cast did to him when he was younger.
138	* RunningGag:
139	** The 'Gigz' Kitchen' skit.
140	** Narya's changes of hairstyles, which have now become a [[http://www.cafepress.co.uk/dlcomics/7186528 T-Shirt design]].
141	* ScienceFantasy: [[http://www.darklegacycomics.com/70.html Krom is annoyed]] by Narya and Miji's attempt to build a computer so they can build a new spaceship, as science fiction doesn't belong in ''VideoGame/WorldOfWarcraft''. Just don't pay any attention to the space goat wanting to roll a shaman.
142	* TheScrooge: Miji has a lot of money, but refuses to spend or share any of it, as shown in several comics.
143	* SelfDeprecatingHumor: Keydar is not only the character of the comic's creator, but also the second-biggest ditz (after Donald).
144	* ShootTheMedicFirst: This is part of [[http://www.darklegacycomics.com/140.html Phase One]] of the [=NPCs=]' revolution.
145	%%All ZCEs* ShoutOut:
146	%%** To ''WesternAnimation/CaptainPlanetAndThePlaneteers'', [[http://www.darklegacycomics.com/99.html here]].
147	%%** There's also one to ''Franchise/StarWars'' [[http://www.darklegacycomics.com/84.html here]].
148	%%** And one from ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII'' [[http://darklegacycomics.com/227.html here]].
149	%%** Also one for ''[[Anime/PokemonTheSeries Pokémon]]'' [[http://www.darklegacycomics.com/222.html here]].
150	* SmartBall: Narya's [[http://www.darklegacycomics.com/267.html Grand Goggles of Genius]] can make geniuses out of Marmalade and Donald.
151	* SpoofAesop: "[[http://www.darklegacycomics.com/251.html So remember: Whenever you choose NOT to kill a bunny... Somewhere in the world, a cute little gnome is mauled to death and subsequently devoured by a genetically modified super-wolf]]."
152	* StableTimeLoop: Two involving Narya and Miji:
153	** The first one explains Miji's sudden intelligence increase in the early strips, going from being barely able to form full sentences to being able to convince everyone to give him chocolate to give to Keydar. [[spoiler:Future Miji abducted his past self during a time travel romp with Narya, teaching him to read. Past Narya, who was about to be abducted by Future Narya, was let go and [[https://www.darklegacycomics.com/297 began to talk about what he overheard from Futre Narya and Miji to Nyte]].]] The reason Narya and Nyte forgot about this is because just shortly after, they were both struck on the head by [[https://www.darklegacycomics.com/26 items dropping from someone changing gear mid-flight]].
154	** The circumstances behind Miji's birth. [[spoiler:After thinking he accidentally killed Miji by crushing him with his time machine, Narya travels back to the past to avoid manslaughter charges, eventually ending so far in the past that he's back in Gnomeregan and creates a new identity for himself. He eventually gets married with a gnome named Jessica, and they have a child - ''Miji''. When the timeline realigns, Narya disguises himself as Miji to pretend being him when his younger self finds "Miji", therefore traveling back to the past to escape, meeting Jessica and causing the birth of Miji.]]
155	* StraightGay: Keydar asks out men on two separate occasions. The second time, the guy calls him a fag. See the WeReallyDoCare entry below for how hilariously badly that ends for him.
156	* StrawHypocrite: Horace in ''The Horace Hypocrisy'', he launches a crusade to have the [=NPCs=] oust the [=PCs=], which leads to him becoming king while the rest of the [=NPCs=] suffer because of the economic collapse without the [=PCs=]. The status quo is restored when [[spoiler: Nyte disguised as]] Sally Whitemane points out that the real power was with the vendors, quest givers and elite bosses, not the [=PCs=]; and he was jealous because he was a lowly quest target who kept getting killed.
157	* SymbolSwearing: [[http://darklegacycomics.com/193.html This episode]] has Donald stub his toe and yell "And dollars at star number!" After repeating it a few times, another character tells him he really needs to turn off his &$@*# profanity filter.
158	* {{Telefrag}}: Miji and Narya try to [[http://www.darklegacycomics.com/393.html hack their hearthstones]] to remove the cooldown timer, but they turn off the collision detection instead. At least the guy Narya fragged [[AssholeVictim won't be missed]].
159	* TheAlcoholic: Krom spent most of Vanilla drunk due to being the only raid leader.
160	* ThoseTwoGuys: Douchè the Death Knight and Tòxîc the Rogue are almost always seen together, propping up the other.
161	* TimeTravelRomance: Narya used his time machine to get away from everyone who hates him, which forces him to go back several decades. He takes the name Harry, falls in love and starts a family; but it all goes to Hell when his first born is [[http://www.darklegacycomics.com/397.html Mijikai]].
162	* TooDumbToLive:
163	** Seriously Keydar, how hard is it to resist licking you fingers after coating your knives in poison?
164	** [[https://www.darklegacycomics.com/747 Donald]] is so stupid that he dies to an intro tutorial, and it wasn't even a combat tutorial.
165	* TrickedIntoSigning: When a dungeon group goes bad and everyone blames Gigz for bad healing, they quickly [[https://www.darklegacycomics.com/727 vote to kick]] her out. What the rest of the group didn't realize was that the vote to kick for "trash heals" was ''started'' by Gigz to vote out the tank.
166	* TropeName: [[http://www.darklegacycomics.com/220.html Done once]], after the author broke his arm.
167	* TwentyBearAsses: [[http://www.darklegacycomics.com/323.html 5a. Gather 10 bear meats.]] "You know, if you had mentioned that you were some kind of magical meatless bear, you could have saved us both the trouble!"
168	* UndignifiedDeath: King Varian Wrynn in ''Legion'' goes out DefiantToTheEnd. The [[https://www.darklegacycomics.com/647 Dark Legacy Comics depiction]] has him in GoofyPrintUnderwear after he lost his pants mid-fight with Gul'dan because of Sylvanas complaining on the forums.
169	* TheUnSmile: Krom tried to [[http://www.darklegacycomics.com/255.html smile]] once.
170	* WeReallyDoCare: A rather... [[http://www.darklegacycomics.com/225.html unorthodox example]], but when a high level warrior Keydar admired broke his heart, the rest of the group made him very sorry for it. There's something twistedly cathartic about seeing a group of [[HeroicComedicSociopath Heroic Sociopaths]] who are normally hyper-antagonistic toward one another come together like that.
171	* WhamLine: "These are priest talents." [[note]]Krom was helping Donald, whom everyone thought was a warrior, with his talents[[/note]]
172	* WhatMeasureIsAMook: [[http://www.darklegacycomics.com/151.html Mijikai kills a kobold]] [[TwentyBearAsses for a quest drop]], and discovers he has a family; to [[HeroicComedicSociopath Miji]] that means [[SubvertedTrope more kobolds to kill]].
173	* WhosLaughingNow: When the guild discovers the FountainOfYouth, they all get turned into small children, save Narya who ended up as middle-aged, and then uses decurse to restore Mijikai. When the others ask to be changed back, Narya refuses, laughing that the two gnomes are now the [[http://www.darklegacycomics.com/100.html tallest members]] of the group and [[http://www.darklegacycomics.com/85.html want revenge]].
174	* WimpFight: [[http://www.darklegacycomics.com/266.html Narya and Marmalade]].
175	* YankTheDogsChain: [[http://www.darklegacycomics.com/266.html Horace]] gets another promotion, this time to Elite status; too bad Marmalade had some [[WhosLaughingNow new equipment]].
176	* YourBrainWontBeMuchOfAMeal: When the clones [[http://www.darklegacycomics.com/377.html unleash the Scourge]] on Azeroth, the zombies naturally look for [[BrainFood brains]], leaving Donald as the only uninfected person in Stormwind.
177	** Another time Gigz tries to cook Narya. After he repeately fails to realize this via her various obvious attempts, she comments that on second thought, she "May not have enough meat for this dish"
178	* ZombieAdvocate: Keydar joins a group that supports NPC rights, culminating in violence towards [=NPCs=] being made illegal. Of course, in the world of an MMO, killing [=NPCs=] is integral to society, so [[NiceJobBreakingItHero the economy crumbles and people starve since they can't get meat or loot anything]].
179	* ZombieApocalypse: The clones attack their [[PowerUpFood Well Fed]] buff and find that Blizzard had re-purposed an old debuff to make it, the "[[http://www.darklegacycomics.com/376.html You're a Zombie!]]" debuff from the Scourge invasion event.
