The DEfense Reduction Percentage (DERP) factor and Dockbot

Enemy Defense reduction bonuses is the latest addition to MW gameplay, and Dockbot is adapting to the change. Here's how it works:

• Defense reduction bonuses basically reduce your opponents' defense stats by a certain percentage, allowing you to beat stronger opponents than you can with your normal stats
• These bonuses can be permanent (received with a normal bonus item, and lasting forever or for one WD cycle) or temporary (activated in a "hotzone" during a battle, and lasting for that one battle only).
• Once a defense reduction bonus is active, you will see lower stats on your opponents!

Permanent DERP is visible under the Stats tab in player profile:

Temporary DERP is visible on the attack screen:

What this means for Dockbot users:

• In addition to your attack stats, Dockbot now needs to know your DERP numbers!
• When your DERP is set in the bot, the Quick Target room will take it into consideration, assigning you stronger targets than otherwhise.
• When your DERP is set in the bot, the bot will adjust all scouting data that you enter, calculating your opponents' pre-reduction stats before storing the data in the database.
• If you have a defense reduction bonus and fail to tell the bot about it, you will most likely miss out on beatable targets, and the scouting data that you enter will not be accurate for everyone!
• Please check your player profile to see if you have a permanent defense reduction bonus and set your stats with "myattack" accordingly
• If you activate a temporary defense reduction bonus during a battle, make sure to tell the bot about with "myderp" command before scouting or using the QT room.

To set your permanent DERP:

• Specify the reduction percentage a part of your stats using the "myattack" command, separating Atk and DERP numbers with a colon with no space, e.g. "myattack 1.5T:-1%" or simply "myattack 1.5T:1"

To set your temporary DERP:

• Use the "myderp xx" command, e.g. "myderp -10%" or simply "myderp 10". Temp. DERP will autoreset to 0 when a new war starts.

Note: the bot considers permanent and temporary DERP bonuses cumulative, and will apply one after the other if both are set.

Notes on multiple accounts:

• If you have multiple accounts in the game, you can still use "myattack" to set stats for all accounts including your perm. DERP using a comma to separate each account stats, e.g. "myattack 500B:5, 1T:3". The QT room will then use proper DERP value when giving out targets for each account.
• When you enter new intel, the bot will always assume that you scout with your strongest account, and adjust the data for the DERP value corresponding to your strongest account (3% in the previous example).
• There is currently no way to specify Temporary DERP for each individual account: "myderp 5" command will apply a temporary DERP to all your accounts (this may change in the future).
• When entering intel: make sure to always scout with your strongest account, and if temporary DERP is active, set "myderp" before feeding intel to the bot!

DERP support is considered experimental at this moment and may need future adjustments. Please stand by for further announcements!
