Please tell me what META, RG (etc.) mean Im curious and want to know.
Thanks in advance.
Well I don't know the exact definition, but I bet google knows. My understanding is meta just means what is the current dominate strategy for winning in the game. Like the previous meta before the update was evasion before that it was speed before that it poe exposing people and taunt on the first turn. I don't recall what was before that.- RG is Royal Guard. STHan is Storm Trooper Han.

- Refers to metagaming. The act of chasing the most effective strategy to yield the greatest reward in a way that transcends the game, as initially presented to the player. Like, using swgohcantina.com or this forum to get numbers for analysis and ideas for synergies.
- Um, it's Greek. As in, been in use for thousands of years, and means many things in many contexts. While we're actually seeking knowledge, might as well pretend to get it right. It means derivative or about something, rather than the thing itself.
In the context of games and gaming, it has more recently come to refer to discussion of optimum performance and the means of achieving it -- ie, about the game rather than the game itself. Hence "meta" as either noun or adjective refers to current thinking (including the assumption that it is rapidly changing) regarding the most efficient or optimum build for said game. So, saying some thing or another is "meta" in this context means that folks think it is either itself, or an integral part of a strategy that constitutes, state-of-the-art and "best" given the presently-available in-game options. (This, inevitably, incorporates an extensive analysis of potential in-game scenarios, counters, and so forth. This process, deep consideration of potential scenarios stemming from a rule set rather than the rules or game itself, could be said to be "very meta.")
There you go.
