On Twitter, MauriceWeber42 comments on an experiment by the streamer quinrex, who wants to show how severe the extent of the system is:
The gems are too expensive for many
Why is this Pay2Win? To draw one of the coveted 5-star gems from such a legendary emblem, you need quite a bit of luck. The chances of receiving such a stone from a legendary chest are 0.05%, and even a 4-star stone you only get at 0.2%.
However, there is a so-called “Pity” system, which promises you one guaranteed 5-star gem as soon as you have opened 50 emblems without success. Currently, you will pay approximately 100 € for 45 emblems. So, if you want to have really good equipment, you need a lot of time, enormous luck, or a deep pocket.
It’s also important to mention that the legendary gems are essential for improving your skills and greatly enhancing your equipment. They are not just cosmetic items.
This mainly frustrates fans because the developers of Diablo Immortal confirmed just four months ago that there would be no Pay2Win factors in item enhancement. Now it can be debated whether the gems belong directly to item enhancement, yet the community is annoyed by it.
“With such a paywall, I usually stop playing a game”
What does the community say? They are currently not enthusiastic. Many players and threads on reddit express their frustration about the various monetization methods in Diablo Immortal. However, the legendary gems are the central point of various discussions. Players are upset both over the high prices and the fact that 5-star stones are simply unfairly obtainable for non-paying fans.
Especially the low chances of the rare stones frustrate many. Some believe that the concept and the prices would still be bearable if the chances of the 5-star stones were higher or guaranteed earlier than is currently the case. The community’s mood is certainly not very positive at the moment.
This is what fans say: Here are some opinions we would like to share with you. They come from various reddit threads on the topic (via reddit).

- mikwill writes: “In Diablo 3, it was always said to just play for your own goals because you could never keep up with the hardcore grinders. Here, I just go in with the same mentality, making it tolerable.”
- WorkMan4269 writes: “Many seem to forget that the entire system of the Shadow Clans and Immortals is only aimed at the top ten guilds. These few clans will be flooded with Pay2Win players, which is in the nature of the system and the issue.”

Leveling quickly in Diablo Immortal – Tips for Level 1 to Max Level 60
The new action MMORPG Diablo Immortal has some issues with Pay2Win accusations, as was already evident before its release. Now, however, the first fans are reaching the endgame and stumbling over the legendary gems and their mechanics, which many describe as “unfair” and “completely Pay2Win”. We at MeinMMO summarize.
What is the situation? Not even a week old, Diablo Immortal already faces significant issues within its community. While the game itself is free-to-play and the leveling process includes a demanding grind, you can easily play through the story without spending a cent.
In the endgame of the action MMORPG, however, this looks quite different, as many fans now report. The culprit is the legendary gems that you need to enhance your equipment, modify your skills, and optimize your build.
These gems come in various rarity levels and are further subdivided within their tier into a value system. You definitely want to have a legendary gem that has 5 out of 5 stars, preferably in every piece of your equipment.
These tier 5 gems can be found in various loot boxes and are partly locked behind questionable paywalls. This frustrates many fans who label the system as “unfair”.
In our video, you can see all 6 classes of Diablo Immortal in action:
Obtaining legendary gems is a gamble
How do you get legendary gems? The important legendary gems are obtained from two different emblems, both of which you can acquire in different ways. You can get them from the rare and the legendary gem emblems. While you can open and use the rare emblems daily, they never guarantee you legendary gems. And even if they do, there’s always a big problem.
The gems you get from the rare emblems have at most 2 out of 5 stars. So, if you want to snag a really good gem, you need the legendary emblems. The game gives you one for free once a month. You can get a little more if you’ve activated the paid Battle Pass, or you can directly purchase the emblems for real money.
Especially the low chances of the rare stones frustrate many. Some believe that the concept and the prices would still be bearable if the chances of the 5-star stones were higher or guaranteed earlier than is currently the case. The community’s mood is certainly not very positive at the moment.
