    Laboratory boost?

    I hope this is not a ruled out idea.. I feel supercell should introduce an option to boost research in laboratory.. waiting 10+ days for max troops is a real pain (and gemming it is too expensive!).

    Arrow Good idea

    I think the lab boost is a great idea for those that don't have the huge amount of gems to cover the instant upgrade. What Supercell could do is give us a gem boost that will take away a portion of the time. For example, if 10 gems will instantly finish an upgrade that has 10 minutes remaining, then give us a 10 gem boost for the laboratory that will last 10 minutes, or a 20 gem boost that will last 20 minutes. I may not have an extra 1100 gems to complete an upgrade but I may have 50 gems or a I may be willing to spend $5 on 500 gems to knock that upgrade time down by half. This way we get the gem boost without it affecting SC too much.

    It would speed up the game too much. Pay the price or wait like everyone else.

    You can't afford to pay for 1100 gems but would be willing to spend 500 for half? Why not just wait until the half way point then use the gems same as you just said you would. Same thing.

    What at would a 10 gem boost do? Take it down by 3 minutes? Far as I can tell, the longer the time you try to gem the less gems it costs. Always seems to be like 1200 at first then 5 days left of a 10 day train is like 700 still. At least seems that way

    I was hoping they could have a boost that doubles research speed for a day like they have with gold mines/elx collectors. Some of my clan mates suggested having one more laboratory bt i feel it would make the base too crowded. So this is the only way I can think of to speed things up a little. I think ppl wld be more likely to use this boost than gem all the research so wouldnt affect supercell much.

    I see your point.

    I was just making up an example of a possible way for a gem boost on the lab could work. The point was speeding up (or cutting down) the time remaining. If I wanted to wait, I would just wait. Waiting is the hardest thing to do in CoC. I think the difference between what I'm saying and what you're saying is that my time is taken off at the beginning and yours at the end which I guess doesn't really matter in the end LoL!
