I'm going to be even more crazy trying to figure out damage for my other pets. I want all top prizes, other than Core, on multiple pets. Figuring out what the magic number may be for that and then if they have reached it will be extra super fun to guess at.

The unmatched power of the distortion of memory, arcane magic, and artisanal cheeses!
100-110 MORE LOSSES for my T13 I'm pretty sure will hit 5mil. Then def work on my T10... then quest-a-thon. LOL.

I definitely want the battle text to scroll back to the top automatically. The only reason it might make sense (in my mind) to leave it is if you're only looking for the last turn's damage and ignoring everything else... except the battle text is a different length each time so sometimes you're at the bottom (where you want to be) and sometimes you're in the middle and still need to scroll down.
Reset it to the top after each round so you have a clean slate and don't need to play games figuring out where you are. 👍
I definitely thought the sticky scrolling commentary was super nifty but as you say, if we're going to have total damage at the top then there would be no need for the stickiness in the future two thumbs up Alrighty...As you were...

Sorry! This is what happens with too much coffee and not enough sleep. lol
You had to keep track of your own approximate damage in previous Gelatin Wars as well ( is correct!) but you were doing it for a moving target - like looking around at what other people are estimating and what kind of damage it took to be in the top X the last war, etc.
I might decide I thought 7m of damage would be "safe" but I'd have to keep track of that myself to know when I thought I reached it.
So while it wasn't as important in previous wars since you weren't aiming for a specific number (at least for the top tier), it was still a thing. Probably also a thing if you were predicting how much damage you would need for the different prize tiers too.
But yes, for this being a defined target, peace of mind would be lovely, even if it's a once a day update instead of on demand or constantly updating. Fingers crossed it's possible!

Please read this entire post.
I've made a Hydragellos Damage Counter page. It will not be officially announced (via news post) and it will also not be officially linked from any page onsite. This is because this is not a permanent feature to be kept for future battle events, it's just a page I made for our current battle event for your convenience.
The way this page works: You will see a list of pet names. Click on a pet's name to request the calculation. You get one check, per pet, every 12 hours. When you get your total, that number is then cached for 12 hours afterwards, and will NOT be recalculated until those 12 hours are up. This timer is per pet, not per user. If you check before your 12 hours are up, you will see the cached total with a note telling you it's a cached value. You'll also see what time it was from. Clicking the pet name before the 12 hours are up will NOT reset the wait time so don't worry about checking it!
If you see a "No battles found" error for your pet, don't panic! Just do another battle and the page should be working correctly again.
If the page timeouts for you (such as 502/504 error) or otherwise you experience a page-breaking error, please let me know as soon as possible. If the page does break for you, I cannot guarantee that any total displayed by it afterwards will be accurate. At the least, you need to tell me so I can reset it for your pet. If you are reporting an error, please let me know 1) your pet's name (or ID number) and 2) what total the page displays for it.
If you're going to use this page, don't wait until the last day of the event to do so. The 12-hour wait should be enough to enforce that it isn't used too often for the servers to handle. If you are going to battle a lot and plan to use this, please check it every so often rather than only checking once at the end of the event. It will be better for the servers because it splits up the work.
I don't think it's likely that this will break the site, but if it does, it will be taken down. If that happens, please don't complain about it on this thread at least because I'll feel really bad.
Remember you only get one check every 12 hours so you may not want to check it right this minute. Here is a link to the page, enjoy.

Bless you! That's fantastic. Thank you very much for your effort! I'm reassured I did enough damage now(three times as much, actually).
Woot! is the most AweSomiest of Awesomes. And Magie has done 7 Million, so boy was I paranoid, Core time.,
dances all up and down the thread
thank you so much for this !!! you're the best !!
tbh i don't even wanna stay on that page too long bc anxiety ahaha, but! i do have a question? is there a note of WHEN you checked last? and does it tell you what the dmg counter was the last time it was requested, without you having to click (say, if i forgot to write it down)
Thank you, this helps a lot.

Thank you for the page! Crossing my fingers it doesn't break the site.
Thanks! Wow, doing much better than I thought for my only 30 battles. Just having a glimpse lets me know I'm on the right track, and I now have a new goal for total # battles for the week. phew can maybe get more regular quests in while they are giving bonus!
I collect these:
Who doesn&;t want a piece of our bad zombie selves?
Lol no no anxiety!!! Yes, if you click the pet again, it will show you the cached value and when the time started. For example, this is my pet:
angry pointy thing has done a total of 7,950 damage to Hydragellos!
Note: You are viewing a cached value. This value was saved at 8/24 12:21 AM.
It does NOT reset your 12 hours to do that! So don't worry about clicking on the pet name before the 12 hours are up.
Making this an admin post so people notice it, in case it wasn't clear in my post above.
