Once again a reset of banks. This bank revamp is just the gift that keeps on giving.

Yes, Night Revels starts tomorrow!
Note that I've just now changed the time frame for the downtime from 6-11. Apparently some maintenance work requires the time change.

The Archetype selection menu is now present during Character Generation to prevent players from accidentally skipping the stage where they select their Archetype if they choose to do so.
Does this mean Iconics can now take Archetypes, since they go through Character Generation for their first level? Or does the Iconic chargen still skip this step?

This does not allow Iconics to take an Archetype instead of their intended base class for first level.

Will U56.3 fix the issue with items not displaying their minimum levels while in shared bank?

Posting this again cuz I never got an answer when U56.2 happened:
Has this issue from U56.1 with TR been fixed?
Unlocked Favor upgrades now persist through Lesser and Epic Reincarnation, but continue to not persist through True or Iconic Reincarnation.

players' Shared Account Bank Custom tabs will be reset upon login. So can we expect to lose anything from the shared bank? It can't be understated just how horrible that would be. Especially considering the number of player that would be affected.

Reincarnations have been resetting the tabs. I've done two. Everything was dumped back into the Main tab both times, and I did not lose any items.

So what happens if the main tab is mostly full already? (Or did you mean the TR tab)

You can "expect" whatever you want. All you can do is install the update and see what's in it.
Seeing as they said this:
Bug Fixes:
We have corrected an issue that was causing players Shared Account Bank Custom Tabs to be reset when logging into a character that had not yet had a versioning done on it after Update 56.2, which restored items that had previously become invisible. NOTE: This fix requires a versioning change, meaning that players' Shared Account Bank Custom tabs will be reset upon login following the release of Update 56.3. We anticipate that no further work will be required in the near future that would cause players' tabs to need to be reset, and we apologize for the inconvenience.
: I doubt you have to worry much. Especially since the bank tabs resetting issue was very, very rarely the cause of lost items, otherwise there would be many, many threads on here complaining about it.
Also, if you have soooo much stuff in your shared bank (as a lot of the people complaining about the bank update(s) do, that you can't remember what's in it)...how do you know if it's missing?
Bottom line, if you haven't used it in multiple reincarnations, you likely don't need it. I'll admit I keep some items that I doubt I'll ever use (Set items with Mythic Boosts (+2/+4)like docents, which I doubt I'll ever use for more than three lives, as well as collectables that have no current or, in some cases past, use, like lilac gemstone fragments.
They are trying to make the bank(s) better...provide constructive (solution oriented), rather than destructive (this sucks...fix it), criticism.

I have a spreadsheet and I update it. Sometimes I use things I haven't used in years as I try out a new build. I also have a spreadsheet of which bank toon stuffs are on. Why yes...I am OCD.

Quick update here: some wires got crossed on the announced time window, the up time is still supposed to be our usual up time of 1pm eastern, not 11am eastern. (though it is possible that we'll come up earlier than 1, we're in the last steps now). Will update again once we're open, and this will include having Night Revels open when we come up.

That's awesome news, in-line with what SSG has us used to. 7 hours downtime for very minor fixes and Mabar!! Thanks for having Europe in your minds for maintenance windows.
Keep the good work!

So dude missed a post. Still we get a 7 hour downtime with misleading annoucement, that was corrected AFTER the initially announced end of the downtime passed.

Of course you are correct. Admitting mistakes is not how SSG works. The modus operandi is innuendo, obfuscation, and a complete lack of regard for their customers.
The continued failing of SSG to acknowledge their (updates/communication) shortcomings is antithetical to a successful business.
Sycophancy or criticism yields the same outcome. Acknowledging facts seems to be in limited supply.

Heads up the shadowblade bug was not fixed, only 1 shadowblade has been removed so anyone who had the bug from dual wielding them will still be stuck with one in the cache.
So I'm curious. My son has shadow blades stuck in his regular bank, not the TR Cache, and they won't go away. They are still there after this patch. So if he TRs, are they going to go into his TR Cache and be stuck in there on his next life or will whatever was done with this patch automatically remove them?

Ok I understand we needed a patch for the bank, but now after logging in on my lev 20 pale master I have no spells, no enhancements, no destiny's, no reaper points. Nothing......and when you open your enhancement trees there empty, along with the others mentioned. Not sure what you did, but it's really screwed this time.

Revels is currently turned on HC, is this intended?
Not sure where the staff came down on bonuses. If it included holidays or not =)
I have 0 experience with this event on Live servers, so I dont know if it actually makes anything more dangerous for people who avoid the event area.

Ok I relogged about 3 times and switched to 3 alts, and now it all seems to be working. I hope anyone else with this problem, has the same results.

Wasn't this intended for the balancing patch to bring veteran players more in line with new players.

Can you list/link what you have lost in the past banks changes/patches? I'm just saying that if this was/is an issue related to the bank changes (not TR issues), there would definitely be more threads mentioning it.
I also have spreadsheets like you mentioned and I, at times, find that I have overlooked some trade (for older non BtA stuff) or sentient crunch.
