Because Supercell would lose money. And it's ruled out.
Its not specifically ruled out. A second lab was ruled out before we had all the additional dark entities we have now, and that rule out was not specific to a division of regular versus dark. If you do this and move the AQ and BK upgrades into the lab instead of using builders (and in doing so make them available while upgrading) then you've made a whole lot of people happy and the game better.
There are now enough dark upgrades to do to justify this idea.
Yes you go me right .. SC have clearly made normal and dark troops different in terms of elixir-de and barracks-dark barracks so how can they be cooked in same lab ? Dark troops should have dark lab Unlocking the upgrade of creature according to level of lab. That way both troops can be upgraded and managed seperatly . It's not going to affect SC business as the dark lab will work like a normal lab where to speed up things u have to use gems .
Point one. It does affect SC. Right now you (and me) are stuck on the TH level down to lab. This week I finished building my last structure at TH8. My lab has been working 24*7 since I got to TH8.. Guess what. I still have 62 days left of lab work between Golem, Pekka, Valk, minions, etc, etc.
So in my frustration to move on, will I buy gems? No. But some will. I am in no rush as I realise TH9 is waiting for me, an even bigger level with longer build and lab times.
SC of course prefer their players to feel the frustration and buy the gems.
Second point. So what happens to your elixir lab once you have max elixir troops? It sits there waiting on SC creating new levels for all the troops again, meanwhile you are using the ONE LAB for your DE troops. If SC are going to do anything please let it be allowing a second lab... oh ruled out.. Why? See point one.
point one to clarify I have seen one of the SC Devs saying they want game to be more playable where player don't have to buy gems everytime to play . Ofcourse time is money and ppl will use money to speed up things but how many of them are going to buy gems for months ? Their business won't have dent anyways introducing the dark lab as player will cook normal and dark troops at a same time and might speed up both things .
second point what happens to lab once u have maxed troops ? Ofcourse sc will keep adding levels,troops and creatures and maxing out troops isn't that easy or even the higher upgrades . Your lab is working 24/7 does not mean every player is experiencing the same thing there will be many players who could have resources to upgrade either normal troops or dark troops and dark lab will help managing the dark troops which have nothing to do with normal elixir-barracks .
Not a fan of this idea, as then you'd have two labs sitting idle instead of just 1.
I'll admit that at low TH levels, lab upgrades can seem like the "rate limiting step" to progression, but at TH9 and TH10 you'll knock the lab upgrades out LONG before you max everything else.
Currently sitting at near-max TH9. Only have 1 earthquake upgrade left in lab (don't see a major reason to rush into it, but I'll do it eventually) with weeks and weeks of DE farming ahead of me to max heroes and full lava walls...
I don't think it's necessarily about a "money making scheme" by SC. You will finish your lab work LONG before you finish all the other upgrades at TH9 and TH10 if you truly are maxing things.
DON'T SPEND GEMS ON RUSHING LAB UPGRADES. You're just dooming yourself to lots of idle lab time later in the game.
It's probably preferable to skip one or two lab upgrades before moving to TH9 if everything else is maxed than spending gems, cause if you are serious about walls and heroes, your TH9 lab WILL sit idle for a long time...
{As an aside, I DID accidentally spend like 1000 Gems once in a drunken stupor rushing my max hog upgrade just before a war; impatience got the best of me in my impaired state. Friends don't let friends "drink and clan."}
No, no, no, way too easy. Only if it automatically is blown up once you build it.:smirk: JK
Also level 7 labs would have to have a new design.
