Day Z: A couple of newbie questions

Recommended Posts

This is my first experience with Day Z, never played the mod I've also never played any of the Arma releases, so please bare with me here. If you could answer the following it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

 

  1. How do I view the map? (Is there even a map available?)
  2. How do I tell what time it currently is (in-game) ?
  3. My character creation function doesn't seem to be working, I keep playing as the asian lady.

That's it for now, cheers guys.

1: You need to find the map, or you can go to www.dayzdb.com

2: When you join a server it tells you what time it is, it's a 24hour clock so 13:00 = 1pm, etc...

3: Don't know how to help you there, have you tried selecting "Set default"

^ This, although using a 3rd party map kinda ruins the exploration bit of it. To each his own I guess.

 

For #3: Adjust the character looks you want and "Set Default". Next time you die that default is what your character will look like.

Welcome to DayZ!

 

Maybe I'll see you in Balota...I gave you beans because you are about to experience death...a lot.

When you find a map it will be a local one showing only part of Chernarus NW, NE etc

Put the map on a hot key or I think just placing it your hands will give you the view map option.

 

  1. How do I tell what time it currently is (in-game) ?

 

It's time to die

Server time in browser, though I don't think its as accurate as they would like.

 

  1. My character creation function doesn't seem to be working, I keep playing as the asian lady.

 

Never had any issues with this, unless somethings changed.

Do you click select default when you have set up your character? You need to die again before your new default is born.

 

 

 

Hope that helps
