Graffiti as Last Item in Friends Town

It could be my poor eyes, but I swear it says "downloading".

As to what it is supposedly downloading, I think that may be anyone's guess. XD

I keep hearing about that box but I've never seen it . Does it only happen when a specific building is tagged or just any of the four?

Found it thanks! It does say downloading. And I've seen it when I've tapped any of the four as long as I tap them last.

I caught a screenshot of that thing a little while ago, after multiple attempts to get the timing right (it shows up on almost every visit, so I had all the chances I needed.) Anyway, what's interesting is the slight difference between them. Your frozen screen one just says "download" and mine says "downloading."



I suppose it could also be a difference between platforms. I'm on android.

Wow, so I wasn't blind after all. o.O

Is this only after spray painting or is it also showing up after other actions? I have seen it once, but I it's looked like it might have been popping up in "blink and you miss it" moments after clicking on regular houses.

This has been brought up before. I believe the general thought is that its downloading the animation of graffiti.

I have seen it many times but only when spray painting buildings (which I always look for first when visiting friends).

...damn, thanks for the clarification

jasonbd77

if it were downloading the graffiti animation, would it not happen any time you graffiti? It only happens when graffiti is the last action.

Yay, my screenshot is a tiny bit famous

A lot of people seem focused on this, and I'm not sure why. Yes, it happens when graffiti is the last action. For me, it happens every time graffiti is the last action. It's extremely predictable. I don't think that's meaningful beyond the likelihood that when the game has to load the "end" of the visit at the same time as the graffiti animation, enough loading is required for the loading donut to pop up for a split second.
