D&D 5E WotC has updated the Hadozee glide ability on DnDBeyond

I'd probably get used to it. I mean, they're not going to stop printing books, but the main locus of communication about games-specific stuff is going to be through D&D Beyond.

God this entire new edition has sapped any energy I have for d&d

It's pretty good so far, yeah.

Look, I think we're all glad that the gliding language was fixed, at least for some customers, but whose bright idea was it to be that way in the first place? What were they thinking? And why aren't they talking about the gliding errata at all? As originally written it was incredibly broken. Who's responsible for it? How did nobody catch how broken the gliding was?

Presumably less subscription and more an account, which can be free.

I got the play test stuff with my free account. No money changed hands.

You know, if any of the gliding controversy was done by a European contributor, I wouldn’t hold it against them. We can’t expect everyone outside the US to be fully cognizant of our gliding issues. But the American personnel on the project should have noticed that there were unfortunate gliding implications and, you know, edited the gliding bit.

They probably didn't think folks would read it that way. Had a mental image for how it would go. Possibly forgot this is the D&D fandom who read how Truespeakers went in 3.5E, realised they didn't work, and also realised that the precise wording of their spells lead to Infinite Angel Cascades simply because someone didn't put in the limiter on it.

Then, moment it comes out, the net's first instinct became "Hey, falling from a jump should count" and wavedash

The glide was in the UA, they definitely saw people pointing out the issue in the feedback. I truly don't get why they kept the same in the book just to fix it after release.

As pointed out in this thread from people who purchased their books not on DND Beyond, you don't get the errata for free.

Well, not via DND Beyond, you won’t. Give it a little time and I’m sure it’ll appear on WotC’s errata page as free as all the other errata documents.

I'm not entirely sure the post you're arguing against is actually in good faith.
