Effects and strain.

[BadWord]

My question is this. When using effects like Glow, Fireflies and let´s say water. Wich ones cause the most strain for people entering the room? 

 

I want to use a lot of them, but I also want to be able to host the place.

I think it's usually player load that slows players games down, but I'm sure if you used heaps of animated effects, it would drag..specially if there are 70+ players

the strongest are smoke, steam, fog and fire, trees, lightning.

and a lot of metal and mirrors.

As @Manyasha  said reflective surffaces will give you much strain cause you will have to calculate all those reflections 

for example you have a almost non reflective floor (texture) and a reflective one meaning in second case more stuff to be calculated .

i used to like the glossy texture especialy the white but i stopped using it for 2 major reasons  ...reason 1 made my avi body look weird giving it an oily look  and reason 2 is reflctions metals do same but way more ..so personaly i use solid fabricks fro floor and ceiling again for 2 reasons make my avi look nice (no oily look ) and also almost 0 reflections

It depends also of the position of the respawn. This area should be free of any animated objects and if you wanted to host parties with many host, place it away from the party. it is then easier to enter the room.
