Snowball knockdown rate (thrown by snowmen)

So I'm getting knocked down alot by snowballs thrown by snowmen in the Wonderland. Especially in the new gingerbread village where tons of snowmen spawn around the overlord, and during ice of tides. Is there something I'm doing wrong? Is there a stragety to counter these knockdowns? Or is this another case of "deal with it"? Because getting knocked down every 5 seconds gets old really fast. I have full Willpower in the skill thing, but I get the idea that doesn't matter.

    Just slot traits that give you +res to knockbacks. You're going to get knocked over a lot, that's the point with the snowmen especially when they spawn in huge quantities like in the Gingerbread Village. I don't know what else you could do frankly, but it's not a big issue even if it is mildly annoying.

    I literally always put at least 6 points in willpower and slot sure footed on every toon, it's not working lol.

    I use knockback resistance traits, speed boost from Delta Rep and the winter tribble and don't get knocked down a whole lot. I also move around a lot. To get a winter tribble get a recipe from winter invasion, get ingredients,have Neelix make it and feed to any tribble.

    I was given the impression that all traits were pretty much disabled there? If not, does Cold Dwelling help for reducing damage?

    Snowmen are griefing and should be banned.

    You need to:
    Drink a whiskey drink
    Drink a vodka drink
    Drink a lager drink
    Drink a cider drink

    In that order and you'll be able to get up again.

    That seems highly questionable. If anyone is able to stand after that...

    For once I agree with Nagus. This is a serious issue that needs further examining. Snowmen throwing snowballs with a knockdown effect is seriously hampering my in-game enjoyment, and, while I applaud the Devs for removing the knockdown effect from player-thrown snowballs, I think this should be expanded to NPC snowballs as well. I would also like to remove the "incapacitated" effect caused by Romulan, Klingon, Borg, Voth, Iconian, Undine, Tholian, and every other hostile NPC's weapon damage. Thank you.

    They taking your job away?

    You want knockdown issues?

    Wait till you get a Tides of Ice where it bugs out and the snorg stay that the top of the lanes but keep respawning and eventually end up with several hundred up there to fight off. That's some serious knockdown and hold issues right there!
    You can last about a couple of seconds before getting hit with hundreds of snowballs at once.
