Fraggle (DayZ) 15720 Posted April 21, 2013 Well not a cattle prod (although they'd be cool to find in farm areas) but those electric batons riot police use. Pepper spray would be a nice find there too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fachii 31 Posted April 21, 2013 I like the idea of a prison, it would be another place to head for like NWAF. Maybe an armory in it or something like that. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jerry Can Ultimatum 10 Posted April 22, 2013 a prison wuld definitly add a new dynamic. players could hole up and take it over, players looking for equipment could search guards quarters, maybe even take a tip from merle and find some morphine in prison cells. only problem would be, once it's occupied, it would take a well armed force to assault it.

TIC 1050 Posted April 22, 2013 (edited) The Walking Dead is a good concept to snag ideas. I really like how they portray the prison. It suits the environment and it's away from some civilization.Since the prison is on Utes, here's what I thought we should add to the prison. I think the prison should be related to something like Alcatraz.Notes/stories lying around in some prison cells, giving us a brief description of their lives in prison before/after the zombie apocalypse.Cafeteria room filled with mostly infected food with diseases.Rodents/bugs.Various cellblocks and other rooms like a mess hall, kitchen, armory.An ability to find keys that go to your toolbelt that can open some prison cells depending on cell blocks(A through D for example) Edited April 22, 2013 by TIC321 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DemonGroover 8836 Posted April 22, 2013 Just as long as the prison isn't like the Lingor one i will be very happy. To say i was gravely disappointed when i eventually made my way up there is an understatement. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It doesn't have to be anything down to the ground like how WoW does it. Just something that we could do to kill time when we have nothing else to do in a prison :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Drakan 62 Posted April 22, 2013 (edited) For gameplay purposes I guess it could consist in a "town in it's own" with an ordniary cool russian name.Moreover, I don't see any bad reasons for not placing it on the shore (south). Given the fact that it can be located near a forest (prison turrets will still be visible many kilometers around)By the way, sea-prisons look awesome (though, it doesn't have to be exactly close to the sea if its high enough).Haunted ? don't need to haunt it.If it's dark enough, your mind will haunt it for you... :) :D :D :D :D :D :D :D Edited April 22, 2013 by Drakan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
exomonkeyman 103 Posted April 22, 2013 I think a prison would be an awesome idea.Have a couple of weapons in the prison barracks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Trizzo 632 Posted April 22, 2013 (edited) Yes...but before a prision (well they aren't mutally exclusive)...a pawn shop, with a hideen basement with a gimp hanging from the ceiling, who was forgotten during the panic but was infected and hopeless tries to attack you despite his binds.And! If you can lock people in jail...that was be the best...if there some type of KO function and you could carry people. Edited April 22, 2013 by Trizzo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
YZ250 248 Posted April 24, 2013 (edited) Great to see this thread has some interest.@ elf cakes, pics are from Zombie Master 2 mate.Been doing a little more thinking about the SA. Moving away from the Prison Ideas. With all the new housing Apartments and Houses being added to the Map I think there should be a Shopping Mall, the current little Stores just dont cut it for the Size of the population. The Mall would be a great place to gather other resources not just food, like original Dawn of the Dead. Would cater for areas to hold up for while with maybe even 3 or 3 Floors of underground parking and naturally the Chopper Pad on the RoofFeel free to join our conversations on this and other DayZ topics at www.adrenalinfactor.com Edited April 24, 2013 by YZ250 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hardly what you would call a prision now is it???Those pics Hetstanine put up look pretty nice and having a proper prision(Lingor's excluded) would add a nice touch to the game play for those of us looking for some hardcore action :thumbsup: Edited April 24, 2013 by trichome Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Charb 298 Posted April 24, 2013 It is far too hard to keep track of shit anymore.I know I've heard dean speak of a prison before.whether or not it was... "we want to include one" or "X is working on one" I don't remember, either way maps can always be updated. initial map of SA alpha build doesn't have to be the final map of chernarus plus.

dallas 5195 Posted April 24, 2013 Personally I'm hoping they are recreating the Greek prison as a big FU to the appropriate authorities, but I also understand why it might not be wise to do so. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IcyZ 295 Posted April 24, 2013 being able to build/or at least barricade a building and use it as your home it's far more realistic and fun than placing tents,so having a huge prison,and the ability to take over some part of it and build a small base inside it,sounds fun.imagine a prison area,that has lots of buildings,like med tents or hospitals,buildings for food and water,2-3 armories and a huge compound,all together are as big as Cherno.and a huge wall around it,with one main entrance and a couple of holes.a huge group could take over the prison and hold it ,using it as a safe from zombies area,so other players could go in by paying a fee,like medical supplies,ammo,or gas.it's gonna take dayz to a whole new level,allowing the roleplayin/survivalistic fans to have a "town" to settle in,and making the bandits to organize and try to take it over,or sneak in and steal stuff.in my head it seems great :P 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
freeman83 51 Posted April 24, 2013 A Prison would be awesome! Here's my shopping list for Prison design :-Maze like design where its easy to get lost-Lots of Corridors, tunnels, Cubby holes, etc-Areas that have purpose, canteen, security room with Camera monitors.. etc- Lockable Cell doors so it is possible to lock Players up.-A fixable diesel generator, allowing lights to be switched on.-operational spot lights-operational electric fense- Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
