NorthWest Exploration (A Photo Documentary)

[David375 34]

So I felt bored as shit high-popping Vybor and NWAF, too lazy to run to the coast, and too bloated with gear from hyperlooted servers, so I decided to hit the road on DayZ, with the new V3S. Before a few days ago (when I started this), I had never been north of Bashnya (Excluding Svetlo spawns, proceeding to run south immediately at light speed to the Twilight Berizone), and I felt I was depriving myself of something fantastic. Mostly because of this map, that came out a while ago (somewhere around the .47-.48 update ~ish. You can see where the original artist overlaid Arma 2 maps with current [as of .47-.48] maps and new maps based on coloration): 

 

 

This map gave me some great ideas for places to go examine, so I decided to start a photo documentary. Because my internet hates this forum and refuses to upload other photos properly, here it is on Imgur: http://imgur.com/a/iwGO3

 

Please feel free to share input as to where I should go next! If you want to help me on my journey for you PvP non/traveling type, help me find jerry cans and V3S'es, as server restarts frequently leave me stranded and without fuel due to no vehicle persistence and hand-held items evaporating by V3S. Also, if you find any cool photos you want to upload, please share! its great to add to the collection!

 

Also, who's hyped for trains?!?! I don't know why and can't begin to speculate why the [new] train tracks are highlighted blue, but its gotta be good. Also, new military base?

Not sure that trains are something they plan on implementing; the tracks were highlighted on that map because they hadn't yet added the little electrical lines (or whatever) running along the tracks up to that point. At least that's my guess anyway given the timeline. Also, yes, new military base :p It's speculated that it will contain the prison complex that's been leaked a number of times.

 

The "new" North has a lot to offer. If you've never been up there (really?) then you have a LOT to see. Not just towns either: all kinds of interesting things at the tops of mountains, a new castle, the "return" of Pobeda Dam, etc.

Yeah, definitely! what seems like the foundations of the new Tisy base is pretty cool, one of the big foundations could definitely fit the prison building. Also, I found a model of the V3S Command vehicle! It looks amazing, and actually spawns loot! (found some medical stuff in it, you can get up in it). Have yet to see the new castle, but definitely want to get to the NW plains again, that was awesome!
