The bot priority bug is on me. It is fixed internally but we haven't had the time to patch just yet because of the versus beta. Sorry about that
On consoles there is an option to play completely offline (no xbox live/psn+ requirement). The online data and offline data are separated. Whenever you play online we mirror all online progress in your save file so if you want replace/update your offline data with your current online data there is an option for that when choosing offline mode. This is mostly for players that have been playing online for a while but having their psn+/xbox live subscription lapse for whatever reason so they can continue playing at the same progress level if that make sense
Honestly, I'm more excited to see new weapons, new campaign and a new balance for careers. I think versus is a complete different animal, it's just not for my taste.
We haven't forgotten our core ;)
Bogenhafen chests only have one item IIRC. They will always give you cosmetics but they should be pretty rare since we reworked the bogenhafen cosmetics to be obtainable from the store using shillings instead
