I belive that in a movie I once saw a herder summoning a Squig. When the squig was summoned a big cloud of smoke appeared covering the whole screen.'

Now for my question. Is that smoke the effect from summoning the Squig? It seemed weird with so much smoke. I know most of you probably wont be able to answer this so I come with a second question: What effect would you like to see while summoning forth your squig?

(the movie was with a squig herder in gates of ekrund)

I don't believe the massive smoke and the summoning were connected. I've seen a PvP video with a squid herder in it that summoned without smoke covering the whole screen, I can't remember exactly what the animation looked like, but it didn't cloud the screen.

I do remember smoke covering the whole screen when I've seen them summoned. However, there was a puff of smoke, so maybe the video your speaking of was zoomed up right to where the squig was being summoned? I think I may have seen a video like that.

I believe I've seen the video of which you're speaking. It's the Squig Herder at Elkrund, so perhaps it was a blast from a Dwarven cannon instead? I don't think the massive amount of smoke was solely from the SH's summoning animation.

I think the video your on about, is this one, the Eva Vix RvR Vid 1 (http://war.curse.com/videos/details/737/). That was me playing the Squig Herder, you get a big puff of green smoke after you summon the squig, but the massive blast that hits us like 2 seconds after is something to do with a Dwarf Engineer.

ah, cool. The cloud of smoke wasnt as big as I thought. The cloud of green smoke being the squigs "entrance" could be made more artistic.

These are a very bad examples(some are IP braking) but something like: the squig crawls out of the ground, a rift opens and out comes the squig, a thing that squigs usually resides inside of spawns and out of that comes the squig. I mean, there are lots of possibilities allthough I'm not the right person to come up with such ideas but someone else here might get a neat idea
