Character Rollback

Your client probably wasn't connected adequately to the game servers to update the badge progress shortly before you were disconnected.
Either that or you were disconnected far before it kicked you off, thus any credit while DCed was never tracked.
All I know is the network code, and character tracking code, for this game is a mess that has a lot of problems.

Neither of these is the case. Combat and defeat tracking is strictly server-side, so if your defeat count is getting rolled back, it's because the server is crashing before it can update the on-disk copy of your information.|

(You can spot a partial disconnect by noticing that you can move around and see ongoing combat, but you can't activate powers)

Sometimes you can activate powers and gain credit for things.
Actually, whatever code they use is really screwy because I have been on task forces and trials before and the game has crashed, after I did enough damage, with or without a team, and was on mission long enough(still on the team when I came back as well) to gain credit for a badge but not received the badge.
It has happened far too often where a crash of the game has pretty much wiped my credit for a badge I knew I earned.
I don't know how. I just know it happens.
Tonight on my character Rashnu Damz i decided to go and hunt for ghosts as thats the final badge needed for the accolade. This was at roughly 6:45pm GMT, i was able to get to roughly 180ish defeats on the progression bar until i lost connection to the game [internet didnt go anywhere else, just on the game], upon logging back in i found the bar back down to 150 roughly.
Thinking this was a one off i go on another hunt while its still dark [now roughly 7pm GMT] and was able to get to 220ish until i again lost connection to the game [again only the game]. The football was on so decided to leave it and went to watch it, just logged back in and progression bar is once again set at 163 . . . .
