Sanctuary missing?

[Under Your Bed]

For some reason I cannot find or access Sanctuary. I have no mission leading me to it, but the Marcus gun quest is active. When I return to where Sanctuary should be, there's nothing there. The only fast travels unlocked are valley, divide, steam power & clap trap's place.

This is some 'old' character I went back to, probably played the main game & dlc in coop.

What do I do?

What is your main game story mission right now?

Pretty sure you just have to follow the main quest.

sounds like you are at a very specific point in the story where sanctuary is unavailable progress and you will regain access to it.

Rock paper genocide, but Sanctuary is gone. So when I go there, it's empty. Just a giant hole.

Yep, that's what I'm trying to find out. How?

Yeah, plot related.

Either complete the quest line if you have not yet (Bright Lights, Flying City"? I think), or find Sanctuary in the Fast Travel Stations if you already did finish it.

The main quest would either be Raising Action or Bright Lights, Flying City.

If I remember though, wasn't there a time gap... or more, you running around doing side quests... before the next main quest popped up to lead you back to Sanctuary. Been a while, so I might be mis-remembering, but that's what sticks in my head.

The Sanctuary Hole? He said do the main missions. Head to the Fridge there is an icon for the main quest

No, I might be misremember because it is not like I recently (re)played the franchise but I just yesterday had Sanctuary disappear yet again and there is no time gap. Other games may or may not implement this "feature" but in BL2 there shouldn't be this terrible game design (which indeed may confuse someone who paused a save file and then does not know what to do)

Starting any of my old chars on a finished game difficulty (all but the UVHM that I were saving) the Sanctuary weren't the place I started, but around/in 'sanctuary-hole, with the possibility to use a fasttravel to get to the 'normal end-game' Sanctuary, but with no explanation as to why it were a damn hole I started in. Also the new colors for rides and clothing were already unlockedfor me?

('Fighting' through the Sanctuary Hole to get to the fasttravel location made it possible to get to the normal sanctuary again, so not sure if it depends on what it sees your old save being at, as I hadn't played the game for months)

Yes, it is supposed to be that way.

Sanctuary stays in the air for the remainder of your playthrough.

It is only at the start spot for a new run (or higher difficulty run) until you do the mission again where it takes off.

Which you should really know after a couple of playthroughs.

My main story missions are:

A warm welcome
Highway to hell
A game of games
The cost of progress

Then missions just for Borderlands 2:

The name game
Handsome Jack here!
Rock, paper, genocide:Corrosive
[!] (Undiscovered) in Liars Berg

When I started the game I was at clap trap's place then took the fast travel to 3 horns divide to go through Sanctuary's main door. There was & is no option for me to fast travel to Sanctuary. I spoke to the guy at the entrance who told me to speak to jessop.

Then the mechanic quest with scooter. While waiting for scooter to finish his novel I decided to speak to Marcus to complete part of his gun quest at sanctuary. Then went to grab the echo recorder where Tannis is & was asked if I wanted to 'fast forward' the game's progress. So, I did that & now Sanctuary has disappeared & I still have the quest from Marcus, to turn in.

No there isn't. I'm there now. The door doesn't open.
