the MA stories you creat are stored on your comp not in game. that is how you can mess with them no matter what account you are on. in fact i found out the other day, because i forgot about htis, that when i log in my account on my ol' ladies comp that i can edit her missions.

What my question is: How can I open and edit a mission across 2 accounts because it sure as heck lets me do it. Is this a bug or a "design feature"?

It shouldn't be letting you open and edit a PUBLISHED mission on any account but the one that published it. Now, local files, yeah, you can definitely open and edit those on any account that uses the computer on which those files were stored.
If it's really letting your 2nd account open and edit a mission that your 1st account published, then that's definitely a bug.
EDIT: Are you absolutely sure your 2nd account was able to edit the published version of the mission, or just the "local stories" version of it?
oops. yeah forgot that you can't do it for a published arc by your other account. thanks hellgaurd for pointing that out.
it might have been under the "local" tab....I'm at work still so I cant check.
So it stores them on that PC...ok, I guess that makes sense....thanks
"Local Stories" are stored as files in your computer; you can transfer these to any other computer to edit them. As far as other accounts, I don't think there'd be any problems, so long as any unlockable content in the mission has been unlocked for both your accounts. Not sure, though....
"Published Stories" are stored in the MA server, and are only editable by the account that published them.
Rise of the Copper Legion (#60280; with soundtrack)
The Fractured Dreamer (#498588; with musical theme)
"Now Leaving: Paragon City": original composition for the end of CoH
I have 2 accounts, which in the beginning were to have one as blue side and one as Red, as this was before the extra slots.
So now I am messing with the MA, I make a mission on my main account. A few days later, I am on my 2nd account, and I decide to mess around on my mission, forgetting I am not on my main account.
Its a published mission, which at last look had zero plays (sob...) but thats not the issue (it is a sucky 1st timer mission).
What my question is: How can I open and edit a mission across 2 accounts because it sure as heck lets me do it. Is this a bug or a "design feature"?
Any insight would be helpful.......
