Anyone else notice that the “on the boat” section of the upcoming page has disappeared? It’s even gone under “what’s product status” Curious.

The boat sank...

Its everything other than "In Production", "Shipping Now" and "In Stores".


There were some things awaiting Reprint for YEARS that were literally depressing.

Really sad. The part "on the boat" was always a good indicator how long it will take.
Now there is no information anymore, where the product is right now (planned, produced, send). And when you remember, how long the SSD was in this list, it is really bad to even remove more steps.
The step "at the printer" was removed a while ago already (even when it still was in the list, there were no products on the printer for a long time).

Soon there will be only two informations: In Store and not in Store 😁

From FFG posting on the discord.

"Going forward: wherever possible, every product will be "In Production" until it ships from the warehouse out to retailers, at which point it will change to "Shipping Now."

To counteract the lack of granularity, FFG will be adding projected release months, which will be updated as they get additional information. Hopefully that all makes sense!"

Makes sense, with their catalogue its prob only a small but annoying part of project team members' job to update the product status and its also likely a very low priority.

Causes more angst among employees and especially the fans trying to estimate and use educated guesses to gauge the release date.

Now there's less pressure and less steps to manage.

Lol at this point they might as well just eliminate the area in general, "Now shipping" is like a 2 day notice.

I actually think the projected release month addition is a huge upgrade, much better than the "on the boat" shenanigans that never seemed accurate anyway.

What's more is the items I was watching that were "On the Boat" have completely disappeared from the list and are not "In Production". I'm hoping it's a transition error.
