So far, there are no plans about restarting any past events. But for now, with epic missions, you are able to unlock all past event crusaders over time after the event has finished.

Thanks, i hope the missions are offered more than once, already bungled one... :o

not to be slightly contrarian here , but aren't event crusaders not available on mobile version unless they are already in your actual in use formation?

or maybe CNE hopes that players realize that there should be an incentive for players who started earlier than others or who are patient to work for getting old stuff for a long period of time.

The game works fine with just the initial set of crusaders as far as I can see. I can see that having everything the game ever provided might be nice, but actually, I am against repeating old events. From my point of view, this won't make any sense for players who played those events before. We do have the possibility to unlock those crusaders for those players who want all those faces in the game. We even have the possiblity to gear those crusaders up, even though we all know how difficult and time consuming that is. But, making any of this any easier or running those events again, reduces the importance and significance of the event itself.

And CotLI isn't the only game which behaves that way. There are tons of games out there, where newer or more casual players know that they will never be able to get the special gear for their hero or the full set of bonus decoration tiles for their farm or whatnot.

"So far, there are no plans about restarting any past events."

To be exact, Erika has stated in the AMAs that it has not been discussed yet thoroughly. So there could be plans, but we're just not aware of it yet.

We'll find out eventually.
