The best thing that you can do is try to remember some spots. As an example now, when you say Apartment buildings and close to the coast, the first places i think of are these: Chapaevsk , Novoselky or Dubky . All "towns" that are close to Chernogorsk what is at the coast. Otherwise i highly recommend to just get familiar with the map, so just run arround and try to figure out where you are, find some remarkable places from where you can navigate back again. It is also useful to have a compass, what is not really necesarry. In the case that you would get lost, the best thing to do is find a space where you can navigate from, but how? Simple, chose one direction and just go straight, no strafes no turns, this way sooner or later you find railroad, or a city or something else where you can go then. The Teamspeak is always the best way to get help, since not everyone is aware that we have a post on here, some don't have the link to this Post. With Teamspeak you can contact us directly, either with staying in the help needed channel until some one comes to you, or with messaging a TMW Member or hopping into the channel with some one and ask for help. It is always recommend to come to the teamspeak, so the communication is a lot easier, even if you are not in the first place on the Teamspeak, i personally would try to get you to the teamspeak, since it would be rather difficult to communicate through steam etc, since it takes up some time to reply. And in that moment you are pretty vulnerable since you can not defend yourself, and it would just be sad if the medic dies on the way to the patient. And it is nice to hear that you aresatisfied with the service, i hope that you both had a good time :). The map i can recommend and that most of the people i know are using is this one: http://dayzdb.com/map ,you still need a little bit of orientation going and a compass will not hurt aswell, it is good to get familiar with the map itself and on the map you can view in the browser. What i would recommend if you want to log out, either go into the woods, if you do take a spot higher up, that way if you log back in and a zombie is chasing you, you can run away better, aswell if there is another player. This way you have the adventage of getting away quicker and to safety. Another thing you could do is log out close to the coast, i do not recommend logging out in Apartment buildings, fire station or any other high building. The game is still in Pre Alpha, it is just natural that it is glitching at some point, other then that if you are logging in just stand still until the world generated for you, so you can safely work. The game does not freeze you or anything like that when you log in, so if you log out in a building and are walking while the interrior aswell as the exterrior havent loaded, you most likely walk through a wall and fall down what would result in atleast a broken leg or even worse in your death.
