A new Diablo Immortal forum thread claims that free-to-play players may be pushed short of the full reward track because of the previously reported missing event tasks. The short version: if the math in the post is right, missing Skeletal Spoils could mean missing out on a legendary container and several legendary gems unless compensation arrives.
The complaint is about missing currency, not just missing tasks
This is tied to Fierce Pursuit’s week-one problem, where players reported that the expected Survivor’s Bane tasks were not showing up properly. Diabloz already covered that earlier issue in our article on missing Survivor’s Bane tasks in Fierce Pursuit, but the new complaint sharpens the blade.
The argument now is not simply “the event tracker is wrong.” It is “the event tracker being wrong may change what free players can realistically earn.” That is where Diablo Immortal discourse tends to get very spicy, very fast, and usually with at least one person yelling about orbs in the background.
Players want 70 Skeletal Spoils compensation
The forum post argues that players are short because week-one tasks did not appear as expected, and suggests a simple fix: give every player 70 Skeletal Spoils for the missing tasks. That number matters because Fierce Pursuit rewards are tied to event progress, and even a small missing chunk can become ugly if the premium booster gives paying players more room to breathe.
That is the heart of the backlash. Players are not just asking for a checkbox to light up. They are asking whether a bug has made the free reward path tighter than it was supposed to be. In a game already famous for monetization debates, that is basically tossing a cursed torch into dry hay.
This still needs careful reading
There is one important caveat: this is a player-side calculation and forum complaint, not a Blizzard-confirmed final outcome. At the time of writing, the thread is active, but this should still be treated as a developing player report rather than a confirmed official statement that all free-to-play players are locked out of the full track.
That said, the concern is not random. Fierce Pursuit has already had enough event-tracking weirdness to make players suspicious. Diabloz also covered an earlier Fierce Pursuit boss-kill counting bug, so this event has not exactly been gliding through Sanctuary like a polished angel with a clipboard.
Reward math is where patience dies
Live-service events can survive bugs. They can survive confusion. They can even survive players calling the reward structure stingy, because that is basically a seasonal weather pattern in Diablo Immortal.
What they struggle to survive is reward math that feels unfair. If free players believe a bug has made them miss legendary gems while paid options still smooth the path, the discussion stops being about event design and starts being about trust.
For now, Blizzard has an easy way to cool this down: clarify the reward math, confirm whether free players can still finish the track, and compensate the missing currency if the event launched short. Otherwise, Fierce Pursuit risks becoming exactly what every live-service event dreads — not a hunt, but an argument with numbers.
