Actual Super Market

[Deathlove 2286]

Prague, Budapest and Bratislava are all cities much much larger than anyone currently on the map. The area we are playing in is obviously a rural backwater of the country. There could perhaps be a larger regional station in one of the towns, but it seems unlikely to be an entire complex with grocery stores and such.

 

Same goes for a major civilian airport. While again from a gaming perspective it would be an interesting setting, it does seem unrealistic for anything but a small terminal with a parking lot to be set there.

That big ass city up north would be an ideal place for one hell even Cherno or one of the big cities around it could have one placed in.

[BadAsh (DayZ) 1513]

yeah but if they are still around than there should be at least ONE in the area at best.

 

Chernarus is nothing like Germany, it is much much poorer and with less infrastructure, and the part we are playing is obviously not the part of the country where they would place a mall. But a supermarket and some department stores wouldn't be out of place.

Yea, I edited my post to acknowledge that its pretty remote and my comparison was meant to bring light to the fact that train stations are among the most important buildings in European towns/cities of any size. Also added the Bratislava train station photo.. I think a similar size/design would be a nice fit for Cherno or Novo.

Exactly, and I would like to point out the lack of phones (only phone lines are mostly used by the military, connected to now ex military airSTRIP not airPORT), the outhouses and the white tnaks with gas (no running hot water for many homes), lack of canalisation, manholes etc etc.

Big ass american supermarket and stores are totally out of the place.

Still, there aren't enough shops.

Is the game actually set in the 80s?

I think game is set somewhere around 2009.

Best zombie movie of all time took place in a mall.

In that case, what's communism got to do with anything?

[amiasfree 262]

I don't know about a huge mall, but something like a Wal Mart at least for gameplay purposes. There aren't enough big buildings that several players can lose each other in.

 

A gigantic mega mall would be ideal for gameplay though, if they made it really detailed. Can't stand not being able to open doors or whatever because buildings are unfinished :/

Countries that were controlled by Communist are 50 years behind USA and rest of civilized world.

Something like this should be suited for a ex-soviet bloc country. They are still around today.

 

 

And if we are on the topic of new locations, I would love a wide-spread area like this. Maybe on the north plains.

Leaving aside the fact that the above is complete bollocks, I'm pretty sure shops were invented longer ago than 50 years.

 

I mean, there simply aren't enough amenities in Cherno to service the population, especially if all those flats were occupied.

That building looks like 'the Office', but 2x bigger. I think 'the Office' supposed to be this kind of building.

I've been all across the Balkans and the largest supermarket/grocery store I've ever seen was probably 2 times the size of the current model. Don't recall seeing any hypermalls Dawn of the Dead style.

[Bruce of Wayne 81]

This is a pretty poor country, I get the impression. So, that little convenient store IS their supermarket.

[blaeZ 95]

The idea for a shopping mall or walmart type store was dismissed on the second post of this topic. No need to further beat that dead horse.

 

Something slightly bigger than the current store model would be a nice touch and add some variety. Is it really outside the realm of reality to think there's a store that contains more than 4 aisles in all of Chernarus?

I think it's probably outside the realm of reality to think that there wouldn't be.

exactly. not sure why you re-phrased the same point, but thanks.

[jgbtl292 45]

or a shopping main street in the biggest town ;)

Poor dead horse. We know a mall is out of the question at this point.
