[Sado]

<P>Are the tiger animations a result of DoF or the LU 13 ? I saw you were on sand so they might be a DoF benefit ?</P> <P>I am curious because I was not going to order DoF until next month....</P>

[Cusashorn]

<DIV>DoF.</DIV>

[Babayaaga]

If that enlarged head thing is here to stay... I'll be in Tiger Form all the time! (please tell me that's a graphic glitch!) <div></div>

[Gaige]

It's called /cutemode.  You could toggle it off and on, I just used it for the screenshots.  Sheesh.  People are so picky about stuff <img src="/smilies/69934afc394145350659cd7add244ca9.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />

<div></div><hr>If that enlarged head thing is here to stay... I'll be in Tiger Form all the time!(please tell me that's a graphic glitch!)<hr>Last day beta madness, it was just there for kicks. Or perhaps the devs thought the testers were airheads and full of them selfs. <img src="/smilies/8a80c6485cd926be453217d59a84a888.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /><div></div>

[Gaige]

I don't have an inflated ego!  Its naturally that big.

[Xxooo-Coav]

You know what they say about large egos..... its to compensate for........ well you know..  = D

[PantherXX]

<DIV>Sweet.  Finally the real meat of the update!  Who cares about group FD when I can pounce on people!  LOL</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Incidentally, is there a list of all the new emotes and / commands anywhere?</DIV>

[Icewolf99]

Yeah, what's the one for laying down?  I didnt see it in the emote window. <div></div>

[Gaige]

Just FD to get the tiger to lay down.

[bonesbro]

Najena is still down.  No monking for me! <div></div>
