Alright, so there were some rumors brewing on the Internet. Semiwork Studios whispered about the new quest on Discord, and the buzz has been incredibly true. Disarm the R.E.P.O. Quest, and grab a special avatar emote that screams “I Love R.E.P.O.” Just open up Discord and keep playing R.E.P.O. Simple, right? Isn’t it beautiful? There is a catch, though: the rewards are only available until June 24th. This has promptly left gamers salty.
For starters, what is R.E.P.O.? It is a game. But, in all fairness, the tweet does not go into much detail about it. What we do know, however, is that Semiwork Studios has been involved in some sort of collaboration with Discord to bring about this exclusive cosmetic. Think it through: you play the game, keep Discord open, and somehow a new shiny avatar badge marks your presence: Oops, I almost forgot to mention it’s just for a limited time. Two months limited time! And the players are, well, quite miffed.
Of course, Magic_0ne asked calmly, “Can you let us buy it permanently?” Because, seriously, what are you getting for grinding that is gone quicker than a free trial? And Bork was on the offensive again: “Zero incentive, because those quest rewards expire anyway.” And Verithia? A sad emoji. Entire mood.
Then came the anti-PC people to whine. Elite_Saibot, already getting into obvious territory, said, “Can’t earn it while it’s only on PC…,” while xAZERALx pleaded, “plz bring it to console 😔.” Aaronmonsoliu shares this sentiment: “When this Game is available for PS5 put this again pls.” Non-PC fans must really be hurting.
Then the happy voices joined in: GoldGrave2007 was hyped for the “HD robot as a hat for discord,” even though he couldn’t recall its name. Players like davedavedaveval flaunt their Nitro as if it is VIP backstage, while others, like Turtle Lasagna, prefer Semiwork Studios to tweet more frequently, just to fight those scammy copycats.
So, what’s the verdict? Fun idea, the R.E.P.O. Quest—limited-time rewards necessitate urgency. But if the players put time (or money, if they are Nitro subscribers) into it, it better be something that lasts. Something that doesn’t just vanish after two months. Semiwork Studios might want to pay attention to all those replies because the pressing demand for permanent cosmetics is loud and clear.
So, if you are a PC person trying to snag those avatar glitz, you will be looking at a June 24th expiration date. After that, poof! Gone. Maybe one day, it will be back-or better yet, forever. Until then, enjoy the grind and immortalize your Discord flex on screenshots.
