I had a chance to play the game for a brief period of time over my lunch break today. I decided to check out how the new pack hunting mechanics work. I put one Brachiosaurus with three Velociraptors in a pen. Pre-update, the Velociraptors would have quickly slaughtered the Brachiosaurus. Post-update, the rematch turned out quite differently.
The Velociraptors wouldn't attack the Brachiosaurus until they were starving. The Velociraptors all attacked the Brachiosaurus at the same time. One of the raptors was flung off the Brachiosaurus and died. Another fell off, suffered significant health damage, and jumped back on. The third Velociraptor gave up, and because it was starving, decided to cannibalize the two dead raptors nearby.
The Brachiosaurus killed two raptors, scared off the other, and was still at 100% health.
So it's safe to say that pack hunting has been improved substantially!
