The game can't do PvP areas in none hero vs villain areas. There is a new cage map in the Arena. You just have to bet before the match starts and not during. 
I'd rather bet on the monkeys though.
Yeah, I was kinda hoping the you'd be able to fight in the actual cage, so others could watch, rather than being taken to a copy of the cage

would be easy to do as well seeing as there is pvp flagging code that is location specific in warburg at the bases.

Not for heroes vs villains though. I think there would need to be some fairly major game code changes.

If that's the case then have the cage at the same point in Pocket D as it is now, but have it as a seperate place, a different map entirely, then transmit the images of the fight onto four walls behind the bars at the correct angles.

Doesn't matter in the Arena as it's team based, not faction based. It'd just have to flag Team A as PvP Enabled and Team B as PvP Enabled, I guess.
I suppose it could make it a bit laggy if you had 20 or so other players standing around the cage just watching - but it would give an excuse to use the cheering on emote

Right so I'll jump straight in. NO CAGE FIGHTING IN POCKET D?!?! Again we are teleported or 'Danger Roomed' to other far off land that's most probably ripped right from an existing place in CoX. I was hoping that it was going to be more than the Arena in Pocket D, but that is exactly what it seems like.
I can understand that it would be more differcult to localise the PvP in a non combat area, but I believe I am paying enough for this tweeking.
Sure the effect is the same; people fight, but the atmosphere isn't, at least to me. I wanted people crowded around watching others fight close to them. And sure, the confined enviroment would be much less friendly to some AT's, Stalkers first came to mind, but it would be much fun for Brutes, Scrappers, Tankers and some other AT's depending on the powersets.
I'd love to see this in the near future and the inclusion of betting on individuals in the match.
Get rid of the nonce who floats in the middle of club and hire a new manager!
