These are awesome, some of them are already in the game, or have models made for them such as the castle prison, and we have  a ship crashed by berenzino

Yes the Ship, I love it! That ship adds so much to the game. But I would like to see more of stranded stuff as I wrote on my list.

Castle prison I yet have not seen.

Well all the things in Chernarus are abandoned pretty much, as no one lives in them.

 

For the rest of the list, amazing stuff, except the Nuclear Silo, don't see why Chernarus would have that. Power plant could be logical somewhere north, in Berezino probs.

 

Beans to you.

Tunnel

[mr pedersen 42]

Well I really hope the developers pick somthing from my list, but of course they must have allready tought of everthing in my list?  :rolleyes:

 

If I have to pick one or two of my list as my favorites it would be:
 

1. Coal Plant/mine

 Coal Factory with access to underground mine. Get lost in all those tunnels with zombies and dangerous wildlife ( rats/bear/Wolfs)

2. HighWay tunnel

Just seeing a dark opening into the Highway tunnel make the hair on your neck stand up and everthing in your body say " Dont go in there!!"

3D artist, make one big Static Object " Mountain with the tunnel"  and just place it over the terrain.

New gameplay feature:

Keys or tools needed for enter special locations:

 

* Keycard needed for research facility/lab/nuke plant/power plant/ nuclear silo

* keys,crowbar, iron cutter for gates/Iron doors/bars

 

I will add this two last gameplay features to my first topic.

I agree, possibly with the mansions idea there could be more chances to find more classy loot such as -

Fur coats/Jackets

Tuxedos/Suits/Dresses

Appliances

Clothes in better condition

Dress shirts, dress pants (casual)

Dress shoes/Leather shoes

Just because it's the zombie apocalypse, doesn't mean we can't have style.

Mine shafts, natural caves, fancier clothes :), prison hopefully coming soon.

I would like to see the water get more attention.

Oil rigs & anchored ships.

[Roshi (DayZ) 396]

I'd definitely like to see more variety of abandoned places but not to the extent of crowding the map. You need the big open spaces to make the feature locations more impressive.

Have you walked around the new build of the island? Its huge, no, really it is HUGE, I mean its huge!!

You could put everthing on my list above on the map and STILL have your big open spaces.

I suggest you put your walking shoes on and start walking and check out all those new areas on the island.

HUGE ISLAND with space and room for so much new cool locations.

I just think they need to hire more 3D-Artist to make all new objects for the island. To make those takes alot of time. And then they need to be tested ingame with gameplay etc... and that all together is time-consuming work.

Just give us more then just a " Prison ". Yes we dont complain, we love it!

But we want more locations then just a prison.

We want more locations to explore!!

I'll gladly share my beans with a friend. We are getting through the apocalypse together, alive!

[mr pedersen 42]

Any one knows what more they going to add to the island then the Prison?

I'd love to see some of these ideas in the game. Some of them are already in it.. just takes a lot of exploring to find them.

The only thing I know about that is  " new " to the island is the stranded ship wreck on the east coastline.

And some small marsh/swap/wetlands also by the coastline. New towns with some tall buildings that you can enter.

Anything else? And I mean somthing big like the wrecked ship.

[mr pedersen 42]

Do the developer have a list like the one I made but for Public eyes, we players can read what they plan to put in on the island like the ship and prison?

Edited January 16, 2014 by Pedersen

[blackberrygoo 1416]

Yes I would love to see a nuclear power plant and maybe some highways and tunnels, definitely need some sewers running under chernarus:)

[mr pedersen 42]

We just have to wait and see what they will tell us in a devblog. I hope they add something really cool and jawdroping.... soon.
Players need more to explore! More variations in enviorment please. Getting boring to find all village and towns looks the same.
If you seen one or two you seen them all.

For now the shipwreck on the coast is the only highlight at the moment on the island I personal think.
Please please please give us a new cool location to explore soon!?

 

I also added toxic waste dump site and golf course to my list.

 

Enjoy.

The abandoned amusement part seems like a great idea, I mean imagine being in an abandoned amusement park at a night server, alone, scary as fuck. It'd be a great experience.

Yeah I agree!

 

This game has so much potential, if they start add more new locations on the island for example this that you mention. This game will be the best game we seen in over 10 years!!

I'm just afraid that they dont have enough 3D-artist members in the team to get it done in time? It takes a lot of time to make the models and also gameplay testing. bughunting etc...

Time consuming work.

I wish them all good luck!

The weather should be very unpredictable, fog, rain, snow, storm.

Harsh enviorment.

Maby also add small random earthquakes?
Dont know if it is possible with Arma.

[Mos1ey 6301]

I think a lot more landmarks and unique bits and pieces will be added to the map over time. As I'm sure you can tell it's still very much a work in progress.

 

A new town will be added in the next patch and there is still a lot of work to be done on the northern towns. Anything is possible at this point.

Eastern Europe is pretty much slap bang in the middle of one of the largest techtonic plates. Earthquakes would make less than zero sense.
