Not sure if a bug or unintended, but any changes you make to the balancingadjustment_mp+difficulty_pets01.dbr file do not show up in the stats page. So, for example, changing resistances will not reflect, but will actually work.
Yet making changes to players via balancingadjustment_mp+difficulty_players01.dbr works and updates the UI pages accordingly.
So I’m assuming they simply didn’t account for this? Has anyone found a workaround that would actually show changes under the pets section?
They didn’t ever plan to account this. And nobody looked any workaround.
as the name of the files suggests, they are intended for additional balance adjustment depending on game difficulty and the number of players in multiplayer. All stats are applied in priority order as it was assigned directly to player/pet/enemy.
And as I know only the player’s UI is updated precisely because he has this UI.
So, I’m afraid nobody more can help you in this matter.
Thanks for the update, I appreciate you!
