[Request]-Reduction of time for Lab upgrades

Dear SC, Please reduce some upgrade time for laboratory troops and spells because it takes a lot of time for a single upgrade besides, players having full elixir and dark elixir to spend . These upgrades are mandatory and time consuming which spoils the fun because one has to sit over half or full storages without any upgrade option. The laboratory upgrades take weeks to complete and it turns out to be impossible for any advancing player to play the game easily.

Thus, it is my sincere request that you reduce the time taken on laboratory upgrades by at least 20% because the game has turned out to be fast paced after the continuous updates you have been adding which also requires a reduction on lab upgrades because players spend a lot of time on the game after the December update and the time they spend is getting wasted when it comes to upgrading stuff.

What I conclude is that the lab upgrade Costs are still affordable and are not that tough but the time that they consume as compared to the time spent on Farming and collecting resources for these upgrades is comparatively higher than it should be.

Regards,
A modern and Concerned Clasher

*A message to clashers and Forumers -: Please spread my appeal and support my view if you are satisfied with what I've said because if we see any maxed player complaining, he/she should first see that they have maxed stuff around and they only need to upgrade 2-3 things more if any changes or updates occur. But, a player who has started out or is in the advancing,middle or development stage has to face more problems and spent more time than the one who is at a higher level.

There are plenty of places to dump elixir, troops are meant to take time because it should not be easy to vastly increase the strength of your army, it requires time and resources. I am strongly opposed to decreasing these times, it immensely helps separate players in different tiers

And what if a player has to wait 20 days more to upgrade troops even, after the "dumping places" you have mentioned are already upgraded. Builders are busy and you have high loot in storages?

I'll have to agree with Matt, this is, after all what COC is based on

I want reduced Barracks upgrade time..

This is probably the easiest example of how a freemium game works.

You can pay to get instant upgrades...or you can pay with your time. I can't see SC making any major changes to this aspect of the game.

I fail to believe that someone complaining about troop upgrade times has maxed their walls (which you can spend elixir on if you're at a stage of the game that even bodes complaining about anything)

This is by far the biggest bottleneck in the game. Having 1 lab sucks and troop upgrade times are way too long. With not only the addition of new troops, but the addition of existing toop levels, the amount of time to upgrade all troops has SIGNIFICANTLY increased since the labs inception. How are any new players ever going to max their troops? Almost every other aspect of this game has improved since I started playing years ago.

This flies completely under the radar and should be addressed next.

Edit: freemium or not, they have probably almost doubled the amount of lab upgrades since I started playing. And regardless of where u can spend your elixir, SC is currently trending towards making the game more playable.

I appreciate only having to wait 5/15 minutes to cook a troop or spell, but I have to wait 40 days! before I can actually use ONE of the new troops. And it's only because my labs already free.

Agree with your point,but doesn't it show that SC is being a bit unfair and is supporting sharks or gemmers indirectly. The gemming after reducing the time will still take place, but at a less extreme level. The top player keeps earning thousands of gems as well as the one who is maxed for his lvl. But, tye middleman is troubled and suffers indirectly.

I am not pointing or blaming anyone, but this is what my sense tells me.

Agree that lab /heros drives gems the most, SC needs this to make biz model work. That said, anything over 10 days is just too long, an argument can be made that max upgrade time best at 7 days ...
