Guild Wars 2

I was wondering, when I purchase GW2:HoT will I be able to immediately jump into the story missions. The reason I ask this is because I am currently on The Cathedral of Silence Lvl 70 mission and having taken a small hiatus up until the expansion.

I’m on the last mission of the HoT storyline with a character that hasn’t completed the Personal Story or Living World Season 2. My answer, however, is no. Similar to how Personal Story steps are gated behind levels HoT Story are gated behind Masteries so you will have to get the required ones to progress the story. If you haven’t completed the Personal Story before or Living World Season 2 I’d suggest completing those first, but they’re not required.

Yes, you can jump right in, at least the first few steps. You’ll need gliding and bouncing mushroom first level masteries, but those are very quick to earn if you spend a little time exploring and doing events in the new maps.
