Just had a response from a GM regarding this achieve :
Sorry for the confusion here. Your right, the tooltip does not accurately describe how the achievement works, It does actually work like you described though.
The way it works is based on the individual criteria sections of the achivement.
For example, say you get 5 kills at the slagworks, but then you die, you would lose the progress if that were the case.
However, if you were to get all 10, and complete that portion of the acheivement, then you wont lose your progress.
If you are under the 10 kills though and die, or the battle ends, it will lose the progress gained.
Basically, the way you will want to do it, is to focus on getting all 10 in one of the locations, to make sure you check off that part of the achivement, instead of trying to get them all in on one battle.
At least that confirms and clarifies this achievement. Just a shame the tooltip does not say this.

Only each part of the achievement resets upon death. You can get 10, die then head off to the next location.
I think its probably bugged again... I tried it now couple of times with my second account and the progress always resets after 3-4 kills, even tho: im not dying, im not leaving the area, the base doesnt get capured/neutralized or anything else. I dont even move with the other char...
It kinda seems to me, that there is a internal time for the progress, which resets after 4-5 minutes... I cant explain it otherwise.
You probably will need 3 people/chars helping you here to get the 10 kills before it resets.Edit: I tried it again and now it reseted after 1 minute. After the reset it took me 8 kills and 6 minutes for the next reset. I have no idea what exactly triggers the reset.
Edit2: I managed to get one of them to 10/10 with my second account (or a friend helping). I changed this to get it working: My dying char was in the attack and my farming char stood still in the area without capping (you dont have to cap to get credit, just stand in the area near the capping zone). If your dying char is attacking, your graveyard is near the capping area, instead of the middle. I used my shaman to get it. First I just died, then i ran back to the corpse and resurrected, then i used my ankh. After this i just let me revive at the graveyard. It still reseted once at 7/10, but then it worked. I guess you have to be lucky with the random reset.
Edit3: Solved the reset mystery. I always tried to do this while the battle event, but thats not neccessary and just causes problems, dont do it while the battle. The progress only seems to reset randomly while the fight is in progress. So the solution is, to do this AV in the 1 hour, while there is no battle.
