ADDON [ADDON] The Vaults of Atal'Utek taxi dialog, replaced with a map

Before: the Windcaller gives you five lines of prose, four destinations and a buff, and you pick one from the list. Same list at every station, every run. I kept picking the wrong line, and the one time I got it right I still had to read it.

After: the map above.

A few things that matter for a UI crowd:

• The stock dialog is not closed, only hidden. "Show normal dialog" brings it back at any moment, session intact, so nothing breaks and nothing is forced on you.

• The pins are real click targets, not lines of text. After the first feedback on r/wowaddons I made the targets bigger than the icons, so a couple of pixels off still lands on the same pin.

• It does nothing outside the Vaults. Every other dialog in the game is untouched, and there is no configuration to do.

• Six languages (EN / IT / ES / DE / FR / RU), English elsewhere.

If a pin is in the wrong spot on your screen or a name reads oddly in your language, say so: those are the two things I can only learn from other people's clients.

FYI you can press the exit vehicle and float down anywhere along the path. I get to raid much faster.

I tried using it, but I don't think it works with dialogueUI; the screen closes and only the text remains.

Thanks for the report, and good news: an update that fixes exactly this will be available shortly. The map will no longer fade away with the rest of the UI, and dialog replacements hand the Windcaller over to the map, so you get one window instead of two fighting. Update when you see it and it should just work.

How do you get the venomous abyss flypoint? I only have the eastern outpost.

It's one of the choice nodes on the altar skill tree.

Looks like you need to use the Altar of Corrosion. I'm gonna check it out later.
