With the Episode+Act structure adding an additional row of 5 perks each with the release of Act 2 and 3, keeping us limited to just 12 active artifact perks in total is feels unnecessarily stingy.
Now I'm not suggesting letting us grind unlimited artifact perks until we have literally every perk in the artifact active at once, but like, surely giving us access to +1 additional perk point per Act for a total of 14 points during Act 3 wouldn't break the game..

I would be fine with 12 + whatever extra artifact-based levels we've unlocked - meaning that some people would have around around 20 atm. Regardless of how they do it I'll agree that 12 is cheap.
