I'd rather have everything downloaded while I'm loading that way there's no interuptions, however, servers do not store faces/decals.

Well, personally I don't like having to download a bunch of stuff I'll never ever see on the server because hosts are too god damn lazy to disable the add-ons they aren't using before hosting.
But whatever

I think this should be a cloud thing. That way people can show off their decals.

You join a DM and you instantly load.

Someone decides to use a playertype that has a different model, thus, you can't see them for the moment it's downloading. This could give them a huge advantage, or because of how the engine works, probably crash everyone.

Which is why I suggested:

Downloading WHILE you play sounds like a laggy mess for a lot of people.  Join a good server and their load will be only as long as it needs to be, hosts just need to learn not to suck.  I complain every time I join a server that has a mod that they don't need and I'd be glad when they ban me after it.  I don't want to spend my time in a server so bad that the host would ban someone telling them how to fix a problem rather than fix it.
