"Hug and slap animations will be added as soon as possible."

I do look forward to it. I just hope someone can not use it to grief others in the dungeons. So far all emotes have been self impacting only.

As for the lala and non-lala, when should the lala jump up or when should the non-lala kneel down? Should it matter who initiates the hug?

And the Miqo'te should be able to pounce on the others for a hug right?
