Guild Wars 2

When you start the story and get through the first room of bandits, you then have the option to sneak past the jade constructs or fight them.

I fought them the first time, snuck past the second. I’ve taken 3 alts through since then, and every time since then, I cannot sneak past. No matter what I do, the vigil way is selected. One of the times I was using sneak gyro on my engi, and I know I was invisible the whole time!

So is it bugged, or did something change? Has anyone else run into this?

Sounds like there is something up. I know when I ran through I was honestly surprised I got the sneak way as one of the jades looked like it really should have noticed me. If you were actively trying and failing knowing the triggers like it sounds like you do then something may have changed.
