Hey guys,

As the title says, I'm completely new to DAYZ and everything regarding it - I was just hoping for a few people to team up, survive and possibly kill some zombies. (as well as bandits who threaten us) I'm just trying to learn the mechanics and map, as well as the most basic things.

I can voice chat and other things so I'm all for tagging along on stuff but I'm won't be the best (for now)

If anyone is up for that kindly reply back with your Steam or something.

Thanks!

Hi there,

Just sent you a PM.

Let us know where you are. There are a few tutorials around already (stickied too I think?) that I encourage you to read, but don't over-read too much. Part of the thrill is just living the experience.

OK, for practical advice you can use right now:

You probably don't have an in-game map. When you load the game pay close attention to the bottom right. It will give you the name of the place you are roughly located. That may be all you have to go by when trying to navigate.

Next, any place you are looking for supplies: If it's a house, you can get into the ones with windows you can see in. You will get to know them by sight soon.

And finally, if you can get on a server that's night time, but starlit, you can get around well enough, and the Zs can not see you, so you only have to worry about the audible cue.
