Royal Pass - "Teleport from any PvE map"
As quoted from, when it was available yesterday:
https://www.guildwars2.com/en/news/new-years-weekend-sale/
Regarding the Permanent Royal Pass“This has never before been available – pick up a Permanent Royal Pass for unlimited, life-long access to the Queen’s Royal Terrace. The Royal Pass will teleport you directly to the Terrace from any PvE map!”
You can not however use it in Fractals / Dungeons or in the Hall of Monuments.
Is this intentional? Is this on the radar for a fix? Or are these instances suddenly considered PvP areas all of a sudden?
You cannot use it in any Instance. That includes Dungeons, HoM, Fractals, Personal Story Instance, Home Instance.
Instances are considered instances.
And thus not considered PvE areas.

Yes I’m aware of that. But they’re all PvE maps and the description does advertise exactly that it should work in all PvE maps.
Hence not working as intended, unless told otherwise.
Those are not PvE maps. Those are PvE instances. I agree, that the distinction might seem small, but it is important.
Actions, not words.

PvE is a term meaning Player versus environment which in short means that you as a player play against / with computer controlled enemies / allies / environment. Which Fractals, Dungeons etc all are.
Instance refers to an area that is specifically made for a specific player(s). But they are still all PvE.

Going as far as to distinct them as PvE maps and PvE instance is ridiculous. As the term “map” is just exactly that. An overview map of the place you are at. Everything has a map. WvW maps, sPvP maps. You don’t go around saying, I’m currently playing in WvW instance. Because technically, WvW maps are instances that are restricted to specific servers only. Which makes the whole PvE maps and PvE instance comparison null and invalid.
PvE and instances have always been considered different in GW2. The distinction is simply created in order to make it easier to hinder abuse of certain items in certain areas of the game.

The terms are still there, if you wish to make a distinction between different terms to be more specific, then by all means. But when you refer to as far as ‘PvE Maps’, this validates all areas that are not PvP in the game unless told otherwise.
It’s like saying ‘There will be a discount of 50% for all PC Games’, then you go to buy a game that is an MMORPG, for example Guild Wars 2 and it has the same price as before. Then when you mention that why this game doesn’t have the 50% discount, people tell you it counts as an MMORPG and the term PC Game are only by default only valid to Single Player games without any mention at all.
If we were to go by using the exactly correct term as some of you want to distinct it as. Dungeons would be PvE Map Instance. Which still is a PvE Map.
And if you want to go even further of using the exact correct term, this should’ve been the description:
“The Royal Pass will teleport you directly to the Terrace from any PvE map (Excluding instances)!”

Instance != map. They should on the otherhand change the tip to OPEN WORLD PvE maps because some people, and I’m sure there are many more other than yourself that struggle to differ between open world pve and closed pve (instances) and it being called closed because you cannot access the full map of that area from that instance.
Hence not working as intended, unless told otherwise.
Working as intended. Told ya!
