In episode 159 of the Warcraft Reloaded Podcast, the hosts address listener questions from Discord and voicemail regarding the preference of faster leveling versus purchasing a boost from the in-game store. They also discuss their recent activities in WoW Classic and Wrath of the Lich King Classic.



The hosts share the story of how BlazzinBob met Melarina, adding a personal touch to the episode. They then move on to announce that BlizzCon 2023 tickets will go on sale on July 8th and July 22nd. Details and the ticket purchase process can be found on the WoWhead website.



The major highlight of the episode is the introduction of the Hardcore mode in WoW Classic. They explain that death on Hardcore realms is permanent, making the gameplay more challenging and intense. The hosts discuss various aspects of the new Hardcore mode, including PvP flagging, PvP battlegrounds and warfare, quest updates, mob leashing, 24-hour dungeon lockouts, and the removal of buff and debuff restrictions. They also mention that Paladins will no longer be able to use the "Bubble Hearth" tactic. Another interesting feature is the addition of the "Duel to the Death" mechanic.



Additionally, the hosts mention that all content phases will be available from the start in the Hardcore mode. They emphasize the importance of fair play and remind listeners to abide by the rules. The Flask of Petrification will not be removed from the Hardcore realms.



The hosts inform the audience that the Hardcore Public Test Realm went live on June 29th, allowing players to experience and provide feedback on the new mode. They then discuss Blizzard's response to concerns about Classic Hardcore, addressing issues such as the "String of Ears" item and trading PVP duels.



The episode concludes with the "Addon of the Week" segment, featuring the WowSims Exporter addon, which can be found on CurseForge. Finally, Yip from the Varg guild shares their raid progression in the Trial of the Grand Crusader.
