To Upcoming Testers: Bank Snapshot
I thought the issue people had was they did this already, but there was no snapshot this weekend because they rolled everything over from last time.

Unfortunately when Anet fails to communicate vital things like this, you end up with people who can’t test fractal 50 on a revenant or the new professions at all since we have no access to ascended.
And we can’t even test how our classes would look since you don’t have access to your usual face/hair combo from the makeover kits you used live.
This is something they don’t tell you, but it appears they snapshot your bank right before the event starts, which means if you want any of your account ascended items and transmutation charges and makeover kits to be available to your beta characters with limited character creation, DEPOSIT THEM INTO YOUR BANK BEFORE THE BWE.
….Otherwise you’re stuck with no character makeovers to select face/hair for your revenant/beta toons, and lower transmutation charges and no ascended item sets.
It’s from when you create your beta character.
I moved all of my ascended and other items after the last beta event had already started but before creating my first beat character. All of those items got copied over.

Yes, but if you delete that character because you realized the snapshot, and create a new one to update your bank, it won’t update.

Yes. The snapshot is done the first time you create a beta character.

You did indeed, my bad!

Which sucks when they don’t inform you about it ;(
This almost ruined most of the beta for me. I deleted my old beta characters thinking the bank would reset when I did. Nope. Just got rid of those useful items.
