I can confirm that the policy on UA content is a delay of one week between publication on the WotC website and DDB.
Can you also confirm that the system will be able to handle Hybrid Nature?
Well, Hybrid Nature says that the centaur and the minotaur are both a humanoid and a monstrosity. I am not sure what the system is supposed to handle here, it is just text, there is no modifier involved.

I think the assumption was that those are specific values associated with the race (I know I assumed that). However, now that you mention it, I didn't realize that other than monsters, that's just text. None of the races have specific types associated with them. (My programmer brain immediately went to thinking it shifted from a 1-to-many relationship to a many-to-many one, which is a massive change. But, you're right, unless we are talking monsters, it's just text.) :)
Yeah seems like DnDBeyond could post an article about a month later reminding people to take the survey after playtesting. Would help the developers with getting a wider perspective maybe?
I would like to know if the magic items Horse Shoes of Speed and the Horse Shoes of the Zephyr would be modified and updated to use with the Centaur And the Minotaur. It would fit the charters more then the assorted magical boots.
How about an archer feat for the Centaur. It could be like how the Huns were famous for their mounted archers. Some kind of bonus for being able to shoot on the move.

I'm not sure that any update would be needed for those items, at least for the Centaur. It would take a deranged DM to rule that centaurs don't qualify as a "horse or similar creature" per the wording of the items. I'm not sure they make sense for the Minotaur, but it would be up to your DM whether hooved legs make them similar enough.
How about a Modified Cavalier Martial type for the centaur.
Like a new subclass? I'd rather they not make subclasses for specific races.
I'd love it if they include a clause in the final centaur write-up that makes explicit that they can use features that require being mounted. If that is too much for an automatic feature, I'd support a feat that does that, and gives some cool benefits aside from that.

I'd rather just see a mounted archer feat or archetype (or both). As it is, there are no penalties for shooting from the back of a mount, so a centaur archer with Mobile would already be a pretty damn lethal Mongol-esque horse archer. Add either Sharpshooter or Crossbow Expert depending on your preference, and it's good to go.
Will the centaur and minotaur player races from the latest UA be coming to DDB? (I wondered if the Hybrid Nature feature poses a problem for you.)
There's a particular schedule for them to post up UA - I think they said a week?
Aha, thank you.

woot! Love to playtest the UA stuff.
I don't think I've missed a survey yet.
We do bones, motherf***ker!
Is there any update on this? I know today is right at the one-week mark, but it's starting to edge closer to end-of-day

The Boots of speed gives an oppent disadvantage on opportunity attacks. The Horseshoes of speed do not. that is the main thing I was thinking of.
