Just wanted to highlight this paragraph in particular as it's relevant to everyone even if they're not super interested in changes to Build of the Week.
Also, while we have you here - we know you're eager for news about this week's update to Synthesis. Patch 3.6.3 is coming along well and we're expecting to release it by the end of the week. We also hope to share the full patch notes a day before (possibly Wednesday NZT) the patch goes live to keep you in the loop.
Since 2012 we've posted over 80 episodes of our Build of the Weekvideo series. The series has been a great way to showcase the variety of gameplay styles possible in Path of Exile with each episode becoming a snapshot in time to look back on.
We've just introduced the Dragon Whelp Pet to the store! This cute flying little creature will become a great companion to any character, or a perfect neighbour to those fearsome wyverns[www.pathofexile.com] that live in some hideouts. Check out the new pet by watching the video below or press "M" in game to check it out.
Needs the meow, but likely won't get it. It's still amazing and Tarke should be rewarded for the idea.
We were aware that people were keen for the meow but I think its novelty would have worn off relatively quickly.
Bex is back. How are you doping? We missed you.
I've been sick all week and just checking in with work to look at urgent stuff. Still sick. Looking forward to going back to bed shortly.
How about Essence/Fossil crafting on fractured items?
The fix for this is currently scheduled for the same patch as these changes.
Since the release of Synthesis almost two weeks ago, we have been given plenty of feedback about what players are liking and not liking during their playthrough of the league. This has not only prompted many patches that are already deployed, but also a lot of internal discussion that has resulted in a pretty large-scale set of changes that we intend to deploy next week. While these changes are still being tested, we wanted to give you an update of the direction we're going with the league. Thanks for the update, and please tell the team that their work is appreciated. Even if it seems like a sea of negativity here, that is not a measure of their quality as people. We know you get up every morning to go to work with this toxic environment leaking frustration and sadness. Please take care of your mental health first and foremost.
Thanks. It's been a very difficult week in New Zealand. Our team is working as hard as they can.
Is the v3.6.2 patch still dropping today?
how we're improving Synthesis
If it's Celestial Cat Soulrend then I'm ready.
Perhaps that too.
Just to keep you in the loop, we have a news post coming later today that outlines how we're improving Synthesis. We intend to have it out by the end of our work day in New Zealand.

We've just released the Raven Demon Wings for those of you who prefer a dark and gory style for your characters. 
Yesterday we talked about our plans for this week's patch. We expect to deploy the 3.6.2 patch tomorrow (Friday NZDT). We managed to add quite a number of improvements and completed fixes to this update, so today we're ready to share a preview of its patch notes with you.
