Shoulder armor was actually one of the things I really liked about WoW... not so much that it had them, but that you couldn't wear them until you hit a certain level. It became an unofficial status symbol, so you knew just by looking at someone that they were at least level 20 (just like a mount would tell you they were 40+).
I don't want level requirements for them in D3, but maybe make the strength requires high enough that you wouldn't be able to wear them right away. It's a visible way to make your character "grow" as it gets higher in level.
I like having more options for equipment slots, and legs and shoulders were really the only ones left, unless you add forearms.
Plus, D2 had shoulder armor too, it was just less defined and was part of the Body armor graphic.
Am I the only one that actually enjoys having this added? It seems like most people hate them, and I'm just curious why.

I hope D3 will introduce more items than D2, and I would love shoulder armour. Items were a big part of the replayability of D2, and should be increased in D3 in all aspects.

Quite possibly... but I would guess there could be up to 10 million other people that like it too!
Seriously, though, I think it's the look of it people don't like (barbs are not orcs). Personally, I like the extra armor slots... that means there's MOAR ITAM. I like itam.

I love the concept, but I hate how high they sit on the Barbarian's shoulders. (IIRC they're the only class previewed that actually wore shoulder armor)
Re: Am I the only one who likes the shoulder armor?
I have a question. If I post a screenshot of how the original Blizzard team envisioned shoulder pads, do the Diablo 3 visual haters cry in their corner?
For the record, the shoulder pads in both the Diablo 3 gameplay movie and these concept art pieces are... exaggerated.
LE GASP! DIABLO 3 TEAM MADE THE SHOULDER PADS 10% BIGGER! THE VILLAINS! THE TREACHEROUS DOGS! HOW DARE THEY BETRAY THE DARK AND GOTHIC VISION OF DIABLO 1!
Granted, the rogue's shoulder pads aren't as big, but the Sorceror/Warrior ones are definitely up there.
Re: Am I the only one who likes the shoulder armor?
Yeah I dont care much for concept art. They never match ANYTHING. I swear, zerglings never look the same in starcraft games, cinematics, and art. I still dont like the way the shoulder pads look in the game though, haha. But overall, I dont mind having shoulder pads in the game.
