Hello,
a few days I was eagerly playing The Newcomers for the very first time.
And I was SO disappointed because of how bland it looked like !
The riddles were great, yes, but the whole jungle wilderness ...
If I compare The Newcomers with ... "Where there's smoke" ... then I must say that this low level quest beats THe Newcomers in look and in athmosphere by many times !
And, by the way, the big hall was very laggy ... Which adds up to my suspicion that particle effects might add to lag. ( I've had a similar experience with waterfalls, too ).
