Abaddon (DayZ) 11 Posted May 21, 2012 Is anyone else seeing a dot on their maps representing themselves? I've recently been seeing both myself, the friends I travel with, and other random players near me marked on my map. Survivors and Bandits show up as a blue dot with a direction arrow out the front and a label of "Survivor" or "Bandit". Occasionally zombies appear on the map as yellow icons labeled "Man".When I first started playing, I didn't notice this. Now, however, I'm worried that a friend and I have inadvertently picked up hacked gear. I'm posting in the new player forum because there's the obvious possibility that I'm a newb that missed a patch update or legit reason for this to be happening.

boneboys 7988 Posted May 21, 2012 Depends on server settings.Some have map tags on, some have tags off.Some have cross hairs off with 3rd person view on.Some have permanent enemy data on, friendly tags off.Look Regular/Vetran or in between. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Abaddon (DayZ) 11 Posted May 21, 2012 Ah, thank you!It just seemed wrong after struggling to navigate with my poor map reading skills only to one day find out that my map is now a GPS. After hearing about a number of people banned for hacking, I thought I should ask about it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
