Yeah this update is going to be amazing, hopefully it will keep me interested in Terraria a bit longer this time.
Release date is the 1st of December I believe.
 
With my minecraft server I'm starting, I don't know if our internet connection can handle the Terraria one as well.

I'd just as soon say that I'd host the Terraria server here at work, but our connection here is worse than awful.

If anyone else would like to host it, I can tell you all about how to do so.

You just need it to be located on a machine with a pretty decent amount of RAM & CPU power (vid card/other specs don't matter) and a pretty good internet connection (>10mbps).

I could see about maybe upgrading my old desktop's specs, but I'm not sure how long that would take. The thing is pretty old, I think I got it early '02. What exactly does "decent" RAM and power imply?

If it's no trouble for you and we have enough people to participate, that'd be awesome, Gubid! Five more days!

Also, official 1.1 trailer:

If you guys need a host. I already run a minecraft server. I would be happy to run a separate world for you.
Sure, if you're up for it :D
I assume you've run them before, yes? It's not hard or anything. Let me know if you need info on commands etc.

The traps people are going to make with this new stuff are going to change PvP wars so much.
 
Clean Terraria Server up and running for 1.1.

Connection Info:
address: sponasylum.dyndns.org
port: 7777

Btw, I also host a minecraft server from the another box within the network. It is accessed by address only though.
 
Can someone at least attempt connection so I can be sure its all setup correctly? I havent had a chance to test from an outside line yet. Although I cannot think of why it wouldnt work.

Finally solved my debilitating lag problems so I'm back in business. I'll stop by tonight if I have time and do some work.
 
Once I had the mechanic recruited I started hooking up the statues I've collected to a pressure plate to see if they did anything. I had a bunny statue that spawned up to 5 bunnies on the screen.
When I came back to town during a blood moon the Zombies had been triggering the statue and it was spawning corrupt bunnies! I found if I stood behind the pressure plate the bunnies would run towards me and trigger even more bunnies to spawn. There were at least a 50 corrupt bunnies at a given time. I would wait for the screen to fill up then jump down into hoard and slaughter them all with the Demon Scythe spell book. I got two bunny hoods and at least 15 gold doing this, I could have got more though. Wish I took a better screenshot. I'll try it again next blood moon.

The star statue I had spawned a mana star. Like what enemies drop when you kill them with magic.
Besides the bunny and star, I have bomb, bird, bat, and crab statues that generate stuff. I've seen a blob statue used in a video. Weapon statues don't do anything.

I had 3 blood moons in a row, is that normal? It looked like the bunnies stopped spawning at a certain point, but I couldn't count them all. :lol: They managed to kill me a couple times. There were so many that the magic scythe wouldn't spin forward.

I built some nice stuff in the server tonight; sawmill, loom, and the beginnings of a village. It's all off to the left if you want to see it. The chests under my house are mine, but feel free to take some heart crystals, because I have around thirty of the things.

Tomorrow I'm going to try and fight Cthulhu and get started on acquiring all the new 1.1 goodies. Any idea where you're supposed to combine accessories (ex. Hermes + Rocket Boots = Zephyr Boots(?))? I've tried most every conventional place, Hellforges and Demon Alters included, but it never comes up.
 
You have to buy a tool station thing from the Goblin outcast. Like the mechanic, he'll join the city after you find him bound up. In my world, I found him by close to the hell zone. I didn't have any money to buy stuff from him and a bat knocked him into the lava and he died. But a new one will come to town as long as you have a room for him. I could probably bring mine station over, I already made a obsidian horseshoe and cloud-in-a-balloon.

I just beat the wall of flesh and unlocked hardmode in my world. Holy crap, I can't dig in peace without some monster sneaking up behind me, and they take a while to kill. Not the one-hit kills I'm use too. I unlocked the new ores too. Can't build any mythril or adamant gear until I make a mythril anvil first. But my cobalt drill cuts through rock like butter!
