this update is adding a new biome and 1000 new items, I don't know where you're getting filler from.
i actually understand what he means.
yeah, sure there's 1000 new items but according to what we've seen so far it's all the same kind of stuff, only stronger/different effects.
at least 1.1 really changed the game and added hardmode. i'm not sure if this update won't but from what i've seen it'll just be the same thing with different textures and stats. not saying i'm not looking forward to it but i don't think it'll be as magnificent as 1.1.
