Telling Time in DAYZ
Hey guys,

Not sure if its been asked or answered BUT.

I play un-modded official servers. I don't mind playing during the night but I am curious if anyone has any tips to tell what time it is in-game. Is there an item or something in the sky I can look at LOL. On average anyone know how long night time last. Im pretty sure the official server I am playing on is 6x in speed from morning to night.

Thanks!

i use DZSA launcher and it's tell the exact time on the server. When you are ingame and you want to know a very approximate time you could use the direction of the sun along with your compass. East is morning, south is noon, west is evening. You could get an epproximation withing the hour like that i guess. Other than that i don't know of any way to do it

I don't get it why they cancelled the watch we had in the mod and which was in since OFP...
hope they add it back sometime.

Never played the original mod. But yes, I would also like to see this added.
There are some "Timewatch" on modded servers that tell you what time is it in the server.
Maybe it will come one day in vanilla but.. it's just a maybe ^^

Chernarus seems to have normal sunrise/set from east to west.

Namalsk confuses me still and I played it a bunch. The sun always seems to be in the eastern sky.

And here I am contributing to a necro thread. 😔
