Skin change/morph animations must be delayed

[ShigZ 66]

First, I'm pretty sure people commented this before, but I couldn't find anything close to a solution. I had an idea that may help a little bit.

We all know how clunky is the skin change animation atm. It's so sudden that scares everybody who goes through this. Even when there is almost no lag on the server it can be disorienting, since there is a loud sound and suddenly you are on first person view (people plays on 3rd person most of the time). When there is lag, which is most of the cases, you find yourself on the sea for about 2 seconds and then back to where you were, in first person, sometimes even swimming on the ground! (I will not talk of how much this suck )

Happened to me 2 times this week. I was playing as a bandit in Cherno. Had a AKM and got track of a group of 3 armed survivors and followed then into the woods. I opened fire the moment they stopped to check their map. Killed two as they stood and was going to shoot the 3rd one, who was running to my left, when suddenly I was swimming in the sea (morphed into a bandit). On that 2 seconds I got disoriented and lost sigh of my prey, so I decided to run for cover. But it was too late. He managed to shoot me in the back. Instant kill.

Since now we have the combat system, which seems to be able to identify when we are in combat, I would like the next patch to include a delay on this skin change animation to OCCUR AFTER THE COMBAT ENDS. This way will be a little less frustrating to become a bandit and will prevent to get yourself killed due glitches.

That's it. Not rocket science but will do...

I vote no skin change, no humanity... players should be able to customize their look from individual items they find around the map.

I agree. This would be a temporary fix for the actual scenario...

And I forgot to comment that when your skin changes you can loose your backpack... it really stinks.
