selmack 7 Posted October 15, 2012 For the moment I have made it to a town. Before something happens I would like to know where I am. Can't find a sign anywhere. Are there any landmarks or anything that would help me learn where I am without a map please?There is a plant (chemical or power plant) by the city. A church and I did locate the store but I assume these are in each town.Can anyone give me any ideas. I plan to look at an online map now and hope towns are different.Thanks!!!

SquishyBear 31 Posted October 15, 2012 (edited) There are a few towns with a store, a church and some industrial buildings. When you spawn in it gives you an idea where you are (in the lower right corner). Other than that there are signs everywhere but they're in Russian. So in reality your best bet is an online map (dayzdb for example) and then learning your surroundings with the help of it.After about a week or two of running around you'll have more of an idea where you are...

selmack 7 Posted October 15, 2012 (edited) I would most likely say Elektro, but i may be wrong.Not sure if these maps are uptodate but I like the over head view of city maps. I downloaded all. I hope I can hide in game and use CTRL-ESC to exit game and look at maps to get an idea of where I am. I never have water early and usually sun out because I have no idea where it is. I found these maps on google. I do hope they are good and correct.http://www.dayz.pl/c...ory/day-z/mapa/Thanks!!!!I thought spawning was random along coast line. Did not realize it was random in specific spots. No wonder I am getting attacked so soon. They are just sitting waiting for me. What a bummer!!! I like a hatchet for zombies and I have yet to locate a rifle and ammo together so I hate it what I am sniped.Someone actually continued to attack from a helecopter after I went into a building unarmed. Shot threw the building then got out and finished it. Why????? Unarmed - doing no harm. Make no sense!!!! Edited October 15, 2012 by selmack Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Spandex 5 Posted October 15, 2012 If you leave a town by a main road there is usually a white sign with a red line through it. That is the name of the town you're leaving (there'll be an equivalent sign on the other side of the road, facing the other way, sans the red line). That and an online map is what I used to navigate with when I first started playing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
