No proper AvA agency will let you in until you're lvl 50 with at least all Epic gear. Your best bet start looking for new inexperienced AvA agencies, that way you'll at least get some AvA action, or you could try impressing someone in Merc. Latter is how I got in a former Top 10 EU agency. Edit: If you see an agency looking for agents in Global Chat, that is your best bet, contact them at once.
Yeah and try to play within your timezone, as over the holidays I used to play around 1am till about 3am and now I'm in some American AVA agency (which I can't really participate in :v:)
NA AvA is a joke in some senses that it is dominated by Aimbot agencies.

I got into blacklance (no longer exists) as a level 40 assault. Having a 5 star combat rating can help in this situation too. We managed to place 4th place about 5 times in a row in AvA, and only ten players in our agency had a level 50 character.

I never actually planned on playing AvA. Leader of "Energy" agency (Top 10 in Season 2, real veterans) noticed my...decent :)...performance in one of his Merc matches, my lvl 50, my 5 Star Rating (after AvA I started playing AvA it dropped to 4.5 and I never managed to get it up *tears**tears**tears*) and the fact that I didn't have any agency (I just left a Facepunch agency I created to learn newbies how to play). We had a chat and he decided that I was good enough to be in their A-Team (and eventually be an SF leader, second only to the guy who recruited me). That how my golden times of GA started. ... Now get off my lawn kids.
It was the NA server. I didn't actually play for a bit, but I was on at the times they needed people so I eventually got put in (this is what really got me more involved). After they saw how good I was, I became a more regular member. I was in several matches where we beat out Desirables. The largest thing that helped our agency was a few VERY good medics, and our very high level of communication. I would later join up to another relatively high agency, but they simply were not as good, partly due to the fact there was little communication. Also we were not allied with any of the top teams, or any member of their alliance which cost us third place more than once.

Hehe, AvA is like that, at least half the battles are won in the chat. My agency was allied with Mercenaries, Red Alliance and MESA. Hopefully I don't have to explain who they are. That has very nice benefits of being able to trade hexes that we didn't need for the ones that we did need and not being the primary target of all Top 3 agencies is a nice perk as well. I never participated in diplomatic battles though (only with Red Alliance, they talk crappy english and no one but me in my agency talked Russian), every time our leader made a peace treaty with some scrub agency, like iCUGaming (lol) I would get disappointed because there were one less team to smash this season.
Played this game a little, and the jetpacks are nice. However, the game is... barren. It feels like a ghost town, even if there are NPCs and players around. Some buildings are just spawning points for junk mobs, there's no attention to detail. And the UI looks like from another century. Should I mention their site? It's like 1999 all over again.

Hit level 28; Stop playing. PvP got boring fast for me.
[QUOTE=Kidd;32928499]Hit level 28; Stop playing. PvP got boring fast for me.[/QUOTE] YOU ARE SO CLOSE TO WHERE IT GETS FUN! Get to level 30, play some games. If it gets boring, then quit.
[QUOTE=Kidd;32928499]Hit level 28; Stop playing. PvP got boring fast for me.[/QUOTE] PvP doesn't get fun (serious fun, not newb crushing fun) until you're lvl 30 and you can use interesting gear against other opponents using interesting gear against you. Just endure a few more levels. I suggest buying a Booster to break that threshold but it's up to you.

[QUOTE=Jack Trades;33054314]Well, how about a proper Medic not being able to outheal a simple Poison Aura?[/QUOTE] Poison aura is terrible. I posted a change up on the global agenda on the forums, but not too many people looked at it, despite its positive feedback. Ill post the link when the GA forums are back up.
