Test build updated with new equipment, 4:3 and 16:10 support, improved menus, fixes, and more!

Hey guys!

Here's another update for the test builds. This should take care of all reported issues on the test build so far, as well as adding several new items to try out. Some new True Legendaries, too! Thank you so much for your feedback and bug reports!

Progress on the Warden is very good, and she'll be ready quite soon. And then there's only the Warlock left before we take all this live!

Also, for those of you asking for additional language support, like Chinese - I am looking into the possibilities of translations but please understand that it may take a while!

Anyway, enjoy the update!
