Now I know when I need to finish Skyward Sword by, approximately.
Love all the new stuff too, the statues spawning critters is a nice touch. Hopefully there are 'invisible' buttons (since they currently show up even without a wrench) so we can have stuff like... well.... death traps.

There are no words about how awesome this image is.
December 1st?! Man I wish they delayed it another week, that's the week right before finals D:
But this update sounds amazing. I might want to go into blackout mode now until it hits.

I think that's probably everyone's plan. 1.0.6 introduced a lot of decorative items which felt more like a high-level upgrade. 1.1 is adding so much new stuff... a reboot sounds perfect.

Ah, haven't played since they were changed, huh? The only way to really 'fly' now is to pop a Gravitation Potion (1 Bottled Water, 1 Fireblossom, 1 Deathweed, 1 Blinkroot and a Feather at any Alchemy Station). You'll be able to reverse gravity and float up and down.

Not played this in a long time, seeing the new screens makes me want to jump back in. Get into the swing of it before the update.

Reckon I'll probably start a fresh toon over the weekend, fully deck him out in prep for the update.
Considering how this is the BIG UPDATE, its pretty much assured server will be reset w/ a new world.
Retro and I are currently working out the plans as to how to handle the reset. If you were around when we did the previous reset, you know we had to wait a bit while I tried to find out if the server mods worked. As it stands, I'm pretty sure the update will screw up the mods again, so the server will probably be offline when the update hits, until I can grab updated mods.
Now, even though a lot of us worked hard and spent countless hours building up a character, I'm pretty sure a lot of us also havent played the game in a while, so I'm requesting that when you get on the server when the update hits, that you use a brand new character. I'm not going to enforce this rule w/ an iron fist (unless of course you pop up on the server w/ a built-up character and cause mass chaos, then I'm booting your ass), but I think it would be best we use all new characters anyway.
I'm also well aware that we all want a shot at the bosses. At least if we all start over with new characters, we won't have incidents where we clear all the bosses in two days. Its also a bit hard to schedule boss fights when we have players from all over in different time zones. Its because of all that, I have to pretty much declare that if you come to the server, you're coming to build, gather resources, or just chat w/ other players. If you're going there for the Adventuring aspect, you might be disappointed that content was completed before you had a crack at it, so don't really go to the server for that.
UPDATE: If the previous paragraph didnt make sense, I basically mean, "Don't log on to the server expecting a boss fight". I do not mean "No boss fights whatsoever." Boss fights will pretty much be first come, first served.
That's just some initial things I wanted to get out of the way. We still have a month before it hits, and as I gather more info about what to expect, I'll have a more detailed plan about the server reset, and let you guys know. If you guys have any suggestions for the server (like what you'd want to see, rules you'd like established, etc), please mention it.

With all of the new content coming, I'm definitely looking forward to a clean server and character. I get the feeling not many people ended up starting new characters for the last patch, so this is a good opportunity to do so. That's definitely my plan and I would encourage others to do so as well, if only to extend the life of the experience. It's much more fun to dig for ore and treasure with people at your own level.
It seems like not many people used the Tutorial, so I think we can safely retire that particular aspect. Having people log in right at the GAF-Hub should work fine.
Bosses can always be summoned later once the Mods are back up to speed, so it's not like you'll *never* be able to kill a boss on GAF server. If people want, maybe we could schedule weekly boss-spawning events where people get on and we whip up any bosses people want. We did quite a bit of enemy spawning at the arena when we were bored, so I don't see any problem with it.
Obviously the dungeon will be looted eventually, the supply of hearts and chests will dwindle, etc. Nothing we can do about that except show up before it happens.
We don't know how the new Corruption event is going to be activated, but if it turns out that it kicks the world into "hard mode", it might make the game somewhat newbie-unfriendly (I don't mean that as an insult). Something we'll have to look into.
But damn is it nice to be talking about Terraria again and getting ready to take that plunge again in the near future. I missed playing this all fucking day with GAFfers. Seems like lately only a couple people log on (which is a shame because I built sooooo much shit.)

Yeah, I'm definitely gonna start fresh with the update. I've been in the mood to get back to Terraria lately, but I'm gonna just deal with the blue balls for now and hold out for until update for maximum enjoyment. I feel that I still have many hours of digging, looting and dying ahead of me.

Unless you copy and paste your save file from laptop to PC, you won't be able to. I think they have plans to add cloud saving, which would enable you to play on the same world between between laptop and PC, but it's not available yet. If you have your own server, you could visit it from any device, but I'm guessing you don;t.
You need to use my guide in the OP to enable cloud-saving. It's not all that tricky.vareon said:

You need Dropbox and to make one symbolic link per computer you're playing it on, but it's really pretty simple. Seriously... I have missed out on so much, it's going to be almost more surprising to see everything that's new to me when I pick it back up than it was playing for the first time when the game was so sparse.ZZMitch said:
Red just tweeted that the Terraria Soundtrack is now available on Bandcamp, and includes 5 tracks from the next update; http://re-logic.bandcamp.com/
More importantly, it includes a custom banner with three never-before seen sprites;
All three are tied up; one appears to be a bald blue guy (A Goblin?), a red-haired girl with some kind of hook-like tool on her back, and a wizard.
So, it looks like there are at least 3 new NPCs in 1.1, and they need to be rescued. I'm guessing the girl with the tool is some kind of engineer or mechanic from which we'll buy mechanical components or tools like wires, switches, etc.

I'm just hoping there's some way to control where NPCs move in, or things are going to get messy with NPCs scattered all over the place. Especially on GAF-Server where we've just sort of built everywhere. Not that it matters once we reboot things, but still...
As for the album itself, Tracks 9 to 13 aren't in the game yet so give 'em a listen. Also, track 10 is named "The Hallow" and 12 is "Underground Hallow". It's all tinkly and fantasy-sounding, so I'm guessing this is the new Biome (with the colored trees and blue grass).

Damn, the things that can be done with computers these days! I have dropbox so maybe I'll check that out, but I do hope they add cloud saving in the next patch so I don't have to stop being lazy.

I use dropbox for pretty much I do today, so I'm familiar with it. I'm just wondering about the purchase. I don't have to purchase the game again for another PC, right?
Hawkian said:Steam allows you install games on as many servers as you want
That's true, but even if you had Terraria on multiple computers, the problem is that your character and world files are tied to the computer they are on, they're not in "the cloud". I think someone figured out how to synch the user data, but I have no idea how. (It might be on the official Terraria forums)
Looks like there's going to be a retail version: http://www.gamesetwatch.com/2011/11/headup_bringing_binding_of_isa.php
Might be interesting to see what the Collector's Edition holds.

Oh, hey, new page. For those playing at home, Patch 1.1 is slated for December 1st, just like the thread title says.
..... Slime paperweight and Eye of Cthulu Key-chain or bust. Also include a Guide Voodoo Doll.
Seriously, I would import this just to get any kind of exclusive in-game goodies they might offer.
