[2020] Any roadmap in sight?

Hey folks. We have a lot in the pipeline for you. Voice/text chat, surrender options, fixing desyncs and latency, fixing client crashes and performance, UI and navigation improvements, dealing with AFK players, and hit registration and feel are all things we're focusing on rolling out improvements or new features for. That's a partial list and I can't give any concrete dates for any of that, but be assured we do have big fixes coming as well.

Yes we're tracking latency problems such as that one. I don't know exactly what issues that team is focusing on first, but as a broad category it's a high priority for them. So I guess you could say, we're keeping exactly one eye on it ;)

Like I said I can't give concrete dates, look to our community team for that. Everything is coming out as soon as is humanly possible.

Thanks for asking about the battle pass, I worked on that so I can discuss it with a bit of detail. We designed the beginning of the pass to be more challenging than the end, to give players a challenge in the earlier weeks. You have the entire pass to complete any weekly challenge. Based on our limited player data for this pass we estimated that a player who plays 10 hours a week could play 20 hearts games. With a 50% win rate they could win 10 games per week. Some earlier week challenges may take a few weeks to obtain at that pace. At that rate you should be able to complete all challenges while the pass is active. The challenges that arrive in later weeks will take less time to complete.

We're going to keep a close eye on this and if players give us feedback or our data tells us something different then we'll be dialing in those numbers to make sure that the pass feels good and is fun for everyone.

Season updates will generally be paired with major content updates. We haven't yet announced anything about any specific content so I can't talk about it yet, sorry :)

That's definitely in the "I can't talk about it yet" category, sorry :)
