Can we get this, from the website, translated back from marketing-speak to game-speak?

By completing Adventures during Sim-Chase you’ll earn Hardlight Shards—solid pieces of data extracted from Sim-Cores—and trade them to Exchanger Krova for CoGS Sim-Cards. And CoGS Sim-Cards aren’t just for show, there are those in CoGS who need them to further their own research, and are willing to trade rare cases for them. Trader Jonjo can be found in the capital cities to trade your CoGS Sim-Cards for rare housing plot décor pieces.
 
Of course good ol’ NCoin or OmniBits can get you CoGS Sim-Cards in bundles from the In-Game Store, as well as two unique cases only available during select times of the event, which may contain housing plot décor pieces in addition to other exclusive rewards.

I think you're right on all counts, and your quote straight-up says there will be bundles. :lol:
 
The only thing you should be wary of is the description of the case contents. For Space Chase the wording was that cases would contain at least one Space Chase item (randomized). For Sim Chase, the wording is that cases will "have a chance to" drop a Sim Chase item. This could be just loose language from the description writer, or it could signal that Sim cases are dropping junk loot ala small amounts of gold, omnibits, common dyes, and all that pointless trash Carbine is still strangely parcelling out to players... even after more than a year of complaints about boomboxes, which were actually ~free~ and yet still pissed people off. :P 
 
I tried poking them in the marketplace forum a few times about this topic, but as no one is answering, I'm fearful of the worst. If these cases have crap loot I will be boycotting the shop for this event. Although I empathize with people who dislike RNG of any kind, I can accept it when the rewards always have some form of value (trade, sale, etc.) But when RNG for money = worthless rewards that are actually going to ~incite anger rather than disappointment~, hell no.
 
However, if my suspicions are wrong, then I will celebrate a decent model and gladly pay to support that model. ;)

			It happened already on the Bosses event, where you had to buy the keys and have the tokens to be able to redeem.

I had assumed that it would match that of Space Chase. I totally missed that nuance.  :blink:

... but because the fun is wrapped up in dirty diapers. :rolleyes:

I understand why you're wary. :) I just checked the tables (and went into our test servers to see 'em with my own eyes.) The Shrine Case and the Exo-Lab Case both drop Sim Chase items exclusively. Nothin' but decor, NPC decor, sky remodels, music remodels, pets, and the mount in sight. It works just as Space Chase did.
 
Hope that clears things up!

			Regardless I refuse to purchase RNG boxes. You'll only get my money on direct purchases, Carbine. :/ Really wish you'd just throw the music up on the cash shop. It's such a shame Jeff's brilliance has to be walled off behind RNG box nastiness.

If only they posted youtube videos of the music tracks, or soundcloud links, and if only there were websites that would really easily make those links into downloadable mp3 files.
 
If only.
 
works fine.

			They included links to the music in the news post if you wanna listen to them.

They postponed it to add common dyes, runes, a few service tokens and gold in the loot tables and to add key requirements to get said loot, because they realized too late they forgot to to add them.
 
*deflects everything that can be and is thrown*
 
I kid, I kid!
 
 
 
 
 
 
I hope.
