Oh. chat. In the arena, you cannot chat with the other team -- team chat only. Chat with everyone only enables for a few seconds at the end. In PvE missions of course you only chat with the team, and in single player you have no one ever talking to you except the NPCs. But in towns, you listen to everything... I don't know of filters. You can whisper to someone, but I never used it and the 'add buddy' system was buggy and didn't always find accounts.
Oh yeah, and as I said, no killing teammates. You just can't. And you also cannot attack anyone in the towns. And with everyone in instanced zones for anywhere where you might be in combat (either by yourself or in a team against humans or comps, it's a zone just for the bunch of you), they avoid any problems here.

And yes, the test is over now. Ended at midnight PST.
