And when DND Beyond becomes the only official source for D&D content, I guess we're out of luck if we don't buy from them?
Highly unlikely. I think Wizards would be out a significant amount of money if official D&D content was available only via D&D Beyond.

It's not a plot against physical book purchasers - I think the errata will come soon and will be free.

The bigger concern isn't the errata (seriously), it's the overall move to D&D Beyond.
I think both things are a problem.

This errata is clearly being rushed out because of the other problem. WotC really need to get it out to all customers ASAP. (And, actually, I'm far from convinced errata is an adequate response to this one. But that's straying into proscribed conversation, so I'll say no more.)

But, yeah, the move towards D&D Beyond is something of a concern for me - as I've mentioned before, DDB is useless to me due to the way I play, so the more that gets gated there (free or otherwise), the more I'm excluded from the game. On the other hand, that does stand to save me a lot of money, so maybe not the worst thing.

Is the Heavy Armor clause part of Glide still there? Cuz so far from what the updated version being posted here is showing, there's no mention of armor restriction to use Glide. Meaning we can now have Flying Gorillas, Sugar Gliders, Mandrills, and Baboons flying around while wearing Heavy Armor.

It just feels odd to not have a maximum descending distance if that's the concern. (I'm picturing flying squirrels and lizards, don't they often get from tree to tree that are farther than 30' apart? Can they now drop 1000' in a round, within 30' of where they started, with no damage - or did I misread?)
500' down (that's the max you fall in a round) and now only 30' out, with no damage. It's an imperfect fix that could probably use a second round of errata. Already! And this round of errata is not even OUT YET! (At least, not officially!)

Well my books still say the same and hasn't changed. So at my table, we're gonna have Hazodee can still pull a "The Batman" and fly down like a speeding bullet to the ground without no worry.

Works for me.

hmmm...it's nice they addressed it, but feel it is missing the light armor/unencumbered requirement. Interesting they dropped the 1 foot for 5 foot drop, but I could see them not wanting the ability to be overly complex.

As I see it changing this ratio to 1:1 would have been all was needed while keeping that concept intact.

becuse right now you have people saying "I paid on beyond so trust me it's fixed, but you can't access the fix unless you pay"
Ok, and that is a big deal because?
again... that was free. I would not want errata every 5 weeks, but I also don't want to pay to get it... they need something to send it for free.
This will be free too.
and made it WORSE... right now I only have "Trust me it's fixed even though you can't see it"
So you would be OK if they waited to "fix" it on Beyond until the official errata is out in PDF form? That would solve the problem in your mind?

The fact that we can’t check but have to ask others to is a great example of the issue

It's possible this fix was supposed to go live next week but Beyond jumped the gun and, being a long weekend for most of America, there isn't anyone who can push it sooner or recall it back

That is how I going to rule for my Adventure League group. Hmm. new Hadzoee game. Lawn darts with yourself as the dart. Start at 500 feet and trying to hit the 20 point triple mark.

They didn't include any restrictions on this new ability beyond your reaction and movement speeds. So, you can do it while wearing Heavy Armor or are encumbered.

I agree. It is an issue. But one pretty easily solved by reading the quoted text in this thread.
