The Division appears to be running into the latter today. Ubisoft released a huge patch containing the “Falcon Lost” incursion yesterday, and it seems to have brought some technical problems with it.

For the first time ever in Destiny, my character is doing battle in armor that I flat-out purchased. I?m not goofing around in paper Halloween masks, nor zipping around in Sparrow racing armor. I am playing endgame content in actual armor that I bought with real-life cash.
