Can anyone confirm werehyena are attacking? Have not been ambushed.
Yep. Working on my game
Guess im making a campfire and marshmellows
Your in your base too much, at night just walk out in to the darkness for a little and it will show up.
Go back to the beam of light alter and confirm you are in the hunt.
I was clicking through dialog options to get Sanctification so I could make the Championship Lure and, inadvertently, left the hunt.
Have done this myself. Twice now. 
They should allow to rejoin the hunt if they don’t already.
Also the were hyenas do not seem to spawn/attack if you are near a champion spawn point, a leyshrine or in Sepermeru. I haven’t tested other towns or similar places but that could be an issue.
